WHEN PLANTS SLEEP.
Science Proves That They Must Have
Their Rest Like Animals.
(From the Gentleman's Magazine-)

(frOm the Gentleman MAsaAne-l
The mimosa goes TO sleep when night
comes on. or even a dark cloud passing
over the sun will cause its leaves to
fold up and the stalk TO sink down, and.
in fact. the whole plant goes to sleep.
In going TO sleep the mimoSa is not,
however. at all singular. many species
of plants closing their leaves and flowers
at night On the other hand. there are
some which. like the beasts of the for
est, hail the setting sun as signal for
activity. This sleep Of plants. which is
the same physiologically as animal sleep.
does not exist without reason. The art
of sleeping is, in the higher animals
symptomatic of repose in the brain and
nervous system. and the fact of plants
sleeping Is one proof of the existence
of a nervous system in the members OF
the vegetable kingdom.
Plants sleep at various hours and not
always at night. The duration of plant
sleep varies from ten to eighteen hours.
Light and heat have little to do with
plants sleeping as different species go
to sleep at different hours of the day
Thus the common morning glory (con-
volvulus purpureus) opens at dawn
the Star of Bethlehem about 10 o'clock
the ice plant at noon. The goats beard
which opens a. sunrise closes at mid
day. and for this reason is called ''go-
to-bed-at-noon." The flowers of the
evening primrose and of the thorn apple
open at sunset, and those of the night
Towering cereus when il is dark.
aquatic flowers open and close with the
greatest regularity. The white water lily
closes its flowers at sunset and sinks be-
low the water for the night: in the morn
ing the petals again expand and float on
the surface. The Victoria Regia expands
for the first time about o'clock in the
evening and closes in a few hours; it
opens again at o'clock the next morn
ing and remains so till afternoon. when
1t closes and sinks below the water.
For upward of 1000 years continuous at
tempts have been made to elucidate the
phenomena of sleep without success:
many theories have been promulgated.
but they have fallen short of explaining
it. We know that sleep rests the mind
more than the body, or, TO put 1t in an
other way, the mere physical as apart
from the nervous portion of the organ
ism can be rested without sleep. Mega
lively the effect of sleeplessness proves
the value and necessity of sleep. And
this is seen in marked manner in the
case of plants.

The excellent showing made by the new
men now being tried by Manager Arthur
Irwin has stimulated the interest in base
ball in this city, and glimpse at the
features of the players, together with
a sketch of their careers, will prove of
interest to local fans. To begin with
the manager, Arthur Irwin. is known in
the world of baseball as a handler of
winners. He is a genial and affable gen
tleman, and at all times attending strict
ly TO business. While always a consider
ate manager, he demands OF his play
ers their best services at all times, and Is
a strong foe 10 all kinds of dissipa tion
which units players for good work. He
was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1857. and
is consequently now in his forty-first year
While a youngster he played ball in the
Canadian capital and his skill and ability
attracted much attention. His first pro-
fesstonal engagement was with the IA
nous old Providence team in 1852. where
he played shortstop until disbandng of
that club in 1884. The following year found
him playing on the Philadelphia team
where he remained until 1889, when he
came to this city and assumed the man
agerial reins of the Washington club.
Then the Brotherhood incident came TO
pass and Irwin cast his fortunes with the
players going to the Boston club The
collapse of the Brotherhood caused Irwin
10 seek shelter in the American Associa-
tion and he turned UP as manager of
the champion Bostons of 1891.
In 1892 Manager Billy Barnie was side
tracked by the Wagners and Irwin in
stalled as his successor. He succeeded in
putting the Senators at the head of the
second division. In the middle of the

beam at 165. He is a hard hitter and will
be found at a high notch in the 300 class
when the batting averages are made up.
He is also sure fielder and can cover a
great amount of territory
Frank Gatans was the star shortstop
of the Eastern League and worked under
Irwin on the Toronto club this season
He is twenty-seyen years of age, FIVE feet
eleven inches in height. and scales at
l60 pounds. He is an active and heady
player and fields his position in a clever
manner.
Charles c. Carr enjoys the distinction
of being the tallest man in the National
League and gives every promise of devel-
oping into a fast first baseman. He Is
only twenty-five years old. six feet four
inches in height, and weighs 175 pounds
During the present season he played with
the Paterson. n. J., team and made an
enviable record.
The remaining three men are pitchers.
kirtley Baker first began his career on
the diamond in Baltimore, thence to Mil
waukee and later on joined the Torontos
He has all the requisites of good pitcher
and is at all times cool and does not pos

MANAGER IRWIN AND THE NEW PLAYERS.

season Irwin resigned his position and
went into business in this city.
The year "a saw the mantle of Harry
Wright fall upon the shoulders of Irwin,
and as result the exchequer of the
Philadelphia club was inflated to
marked degree.
In 1886 Irwin was engaged to manage
the New Yorks, and just as he had the
club going at lively clip Freedman be-
came disagreeable and Arthur rendered
his resignation. Then II was that Irwin
took hold of the Wagner's Toronto club
and made il a second place team in the
Eastern League championship race. Last
Fall Irwin bought out the Warmers In

He now comes back to Washington, and
the fans hope TO see good results.

Railroad Progress.
(From the Omaha Bee.)

The coming year already premises several big
-ailroad projects of importance to this section
of the country. The railroads are rapidly emerg
ing from the nut into which they were driven
by stress of hard times and financial depression,
and before long the last of the great railway
receiverships precipitated by the panic of 1893
will be thing of the past. With an era Of new
railroad construction and general betterment
growing out Of the increased stability of railroad
property, the undeyeloped parts of the country
will be again brought prominently 10 the atten-
tion of the public in way that will attract the
investors and home-bpilders upon whom depends
the upbuilding OF the great West.

he may arrange a schedule there will be
some magnates dissatisfied This is to be
expected, and cannot be avoided. At the
same time everybody knows that Uncle
Nick" win do the best he can for all,
without fear or favor from anyone.
1t has been said that nine star players
on a team makes an aggregation that Is
very difficult 10 manage-the envies and
jealousies prevailing in such a combina-
ton is something awful. Not having ex-
perienced anything of the kind here. we
are not competent to express an opinion
upon the subject.
If the Cincinnati club can secure the
services of "Old Reliable" Jim Mcclure
they will make a mistake not to avail
themselves of the opportunity, as he has
a few more years of good ball playing in
him. Surround him with new scenes and
new faces and he would show up like Il
two-year-old.
Before Arthur Irwin gets through with
his Investigations he will find out that
he has some material scarcely good
enough for minor league association-men
who have been drawing salary on Sus-
picion all Summer. These suspects
will be properly classified before the flag
falls for next season.
1t is rather remarkable that all the
dissatisfied ball players pour their tales
of woe into the ears of Harry Weldon.
The last wall of this character to which
he was a party of the second part, came
from Gus weighing. Can 1t be that Harry
has assumed the part of the good Sa-
maritan. who provides an asylum for dis
appointed and worn out ball players?
Charlie Dryden, of the New York Jour-
nal. has this 10 say of Scrappy Joyce 5
Giants: ''At present not another league
team can compare with the Joints In
point of downright yellowness. Ii Hung
Chang's jacket or quarantine flag would
seem colorless beside those acrobats who
cavort by the side of Brook Harlem 1t
was bad enough to lose five straight to
Boston and Baltimore but the probability
that an encore will be rendered for Louis
ville's benefit is a sore blow to the 400
faithful survivors of a once numerous
fandom."
The Cincinnati players complain bitter
have received at the hands of Lajoie, of
the Phillies. They charge him with put
ting Jake Beckley out of the game; of
assaulting Steinfeldt at first base and of
spil<ins Corcoran. They say he may not
have intended il. yet the presumption is
strongly against him. Any club that toll
crates such a ruffian as Peitz. who mali
ciously tries to injure his fellow players
must expect that other players will re-
Quently they have no reason TO complain.
