A comparison of the number OF
species of plants known to the vari-
Gus learned men, who have lived dur
ing the past 1000 years, and whose
names are more or less familiar to US,
shows, says Prof. F. H. KnowltOn in
the Plant World, how marvelOusly
our knowledge of plants has been in
creased. Thus Hippocrates, called the
Father of Medicine" who lived be-
tween 500-4O0 B. c., knew only 234
species or kinds of plants. Theoph-
rastds, 371-225 B. c., who was perhaps
the first real botanist whose name has
been handed down to us, described
about 500 species of plants, which he
divided into trees, herbs and shrubs.
BY Dioscorides CT A. d. the number
was raised to 600 species, and by Pliny
(23-75 A. d. to 800 species. During
the ensuing 1.500 years and more, COM
paratively little work was accom-
plished. Ray, who wrote between
1856 and 1904, enumerated and de-
scribed 1S,625 species of plants. The
number of plants known to Linnaeus
in I'LL was only S,551 species, less than
half the number supposed to have
been known to Ray. Persoon in 1907
recognized 10000 species of Towering
plants, while DeCandolle in 1909 rec
ognized 10000 species. An estimate
made about five years ago placed the
number of known plants in the world
at 173,7O6. of which the seed plants
made up about 125,000. Considering
the number of new species published
every year, it is probable that the.
number now in the books is not much
short of 100000 species.

Cab "Taxameters."

London has at last risen against the
cabby. A machine lately invented will
register every circumstance in connec-
ton with ride in a cab, and SO uni
versal is the cry for these, and so
pointed the manner in which cabs that
have them are patronized in prefer
ence to cabs that have not, that the
owners and managers of the various
cab systems are speedily putting them
in. The machine, which is known as
the taxameter, registers when you get
in whether you have valise or not;
directs your attention to the fact that
you have ridden mile by the loud
ring on bell, and at every half mile
thereafter. If you wait in front of a
store the charge is just the same, as a
device under the control of the driver
shifts the regulator from the wheel to
a clock. On lighting for the last time
a spring is touched to show up on a
card the amount of your fee. The
drivers of the company which put the
machines in first wear a distinguish
ing badge, and are doing all the bust
ness. They are we'll and regularly
paid, in consequence of which they are

To Save Sinking Ships.

Among the inventions which had a
practical trial during the recent Span
ish-American war was French device
for stopping shot holes, called the
Colonies stopper. One of these was
employed to close a rent made by a
shell in the United States battleship
Iowa. The hole was about foot above
the water line. AS soon as the stopper
was inserted the inflow of water, which
had begun to food the deck, ceased.
The stopper consists Of rod having
at one end an iron plate. pivoted at
the center so that it can be folded
backward along the rod. To stop a
leak. the rod carrying the plate is first
thrust outward through the hole; then
a turn of the rod causes the plate.
which is weighted at one end, to be-
come parallel to the side of the ship,
and in this position It is drawn back
by the rod so as more or less COM
pletely to cover the hole. Next a Gel
lulose cushion is placed upon the rod,
and by the aid of nut forced tightly
AGAINST the inner side Of the ship over
the hole, so as entirely to stop the
leak. Shoppers of various sizes are
carried, to suit the size of the hole
