Effect Of Gravltation on Plants,

A botanist named Knight, in 1905,
demonstrated that grayitation in.
auences the downward growth Of roots,
He exposed seedlings to the continued
action of centrifugal force, by submit
ting them to rapid rotation either in
ne vertical or horizontal plane. II
was shown that the growing rootapicea
behaved exactly as if they were simply
projected from the centre of rotation,
like the weight Of a pendulum made
with a thread and swung rapidly round
in the hand, while the shoot of the
seeding behaved in exactly the con.
trary manner and grew toward the
centre ofrotation. Another reason for
the downward growth is the greater
amount Of moisture received from that
SIDE The root grows by Development
just within or above the apex, and the
multiplication Of the cells in that situa.
ton is dependent on a free supply of
moisture. The pressure of the super
incumbent soil also acts in producing
downward growth. Again, the soft,
yielding extremity Of the young root
penetrates the interstices of the soil.
and is pushed down by the dilatation
and expansion of the older portions
above. Ehe downward direction Of
the root hairs, when present, would
also facilitate downward growth, and
prevent the root from being pushed
up. AS showing the amount of pers.
piration Of some plants, it is estimated
that an acre of cabbages lin rows one
and a half feet apart, with one and a
half feet between each plant), will
perspire in day considerably over
twenty ons.-Tid-Bits.

Romantic Story of . Young Man
Who Has Died at Grand Forks.
Grand Forks, N. D.-Hugo E. s.
Craven, Il young Englishman, aged
about twenty-five years, died at the
old county hospital here. The young
mans career, though brief, has been q
strangely varied one. Since his ar
rival here, he has given the following
account of himself: His father is
named Roland Wood-Seys, and lives at
present at Fall Brook, Cal. He has an
income of 100000 per annum, and his
mother has an income of about the
same sum. At the time Of the birth OF
their son. they We're travelling in Amer
ica. and Hugo was born in Springfield,
Ohio. His early life was spent. in the
COMMON to children Of wealthy
English parents, and he wasSgiven an
excellent education, private tutors be-
ing employed during his early years.
and he was then sent to public schools,
and to Oxford university. When his
education was thought to have pro-
crossed far enough. Hugo's father ap-
prcnticcd him to a shipbuilder, though
the reason for the somewhat unusual
choice Of occupation has not beer
stated. The boy was frail and slender,
and the unaccustomed work Of his new
occupation was too yer for him, and
lie asked to be taken away. This was
not done. and he left Of his own ac-
cord. and went home. His father re-
fused to receive him. saying that. as
he had refused to follow the path
marked out for him. he might shift for
himself. This he did with varying
success, until the time Of his death. He
managed, by teaching Greek and
Latin, to get togther money enough to
pay his passage across the Atlantic,
and gradually worked his way West.
Since his arrival in the city, he has
been employed in the office Of the
Credit and Adjustment company, and
gave every evidence of being u bright
and industrious young man. A short
time ago, he was taken down with
measles. and was taken to the hospital
reserved for patients with contagious
diseases. Pneumonia developed, N
death followed. He explained his tax
ing the name Of Craven by saying that
this was his mothers maiden name.

On being again questioned, Mr.. Petch
said: "Yous see those hands-the skin is now

and without sensation. You could pierce
them with a pin and I would notfeelit. and
what is true Of my hands is true of therest

The Fullness Thereof.

Amid the discomforts of life and the
~fullness Thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments of
sprains and bruises, or of oreness and
stiffness. the eai"arv of st. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in so many
complete and rerfea: Cures make it
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should We stand on the
order of going for it, and not go at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

jamestown, N. D.-Martin ]. Villers,
convicted ut the January term of court,
of the murder of August Tromer, was
sentenced to confinement in the state
%penitentiary at hard labor for life. Sen
tcnce was pronounced by Judge Fisk
Of Grand Forks who tried the case, be-
cause Of ineligibility Of Judge Glaspell.
The prisoner heard the announcement
unmoved. No application for a new
trial or appeal was made. Since his
confinement and trial here the prisoner
has grown visibly weaker. He is an
old man Of sixty or more, and it is
thought by his friends that he will not
live out the year. But it is believd the
regular habits and work at the peni-
Tertiary will bring the old man back
to his former health. The absence OF
employment in the county Jail was 4
serious disappointment to him.
