Larger and better schools, longer
terms, higher grades and better re-
suits will be obtained with improve
ments in the country roads.
The Roads improvement Associa-
ton of Great Britain is being revived
after being in a moribund state for
several years, and its scope is to be
broadened. 1t will deal with every
subject that relates to the improve
lnent of the roads.
Massachusetts is urging a model
wide-tire bill. If pass it does, as pass
1t should, it will be a good thing to
take pattern by. Where is the use Of
building good roads if heavy loads on
narrow tires tear them up? First
build, then protect.
Massachusetts, has empowered cities
and towns to lay out bicycle paths. In
Ohio, county commissioners have been
authorized to levy a license tax Of 81
year on bicycles and with the pro-
ceeds construct and maintain bicycle
paths. In New York, also, aw has
been passed requiring that in sprink-
ling streets in cities of the first class
dry strip three feet wide shall be
left in which bicycles shall have the
right of way.

VEGETABLE MoNsTRosITlEs.
Proof That They May BE Reproduced
From the Seed of Their Kind.

Proof That They May BE Reproduced
From the Seed of Their Kind.
Considerable study has been given
to the subject of vegetable monstrosi-
ties. The abnormal growths are not
yet very well understood, but it
seems to be established that many OF
them are the result Of disease. 1t
has been believed, however, that not
few of them may be reproduced
from seed grown on abnormal plants.
Mr.. Hugo de Vues, Of France, has
been cultivating these anomalies for
twelve years past and his notes have
recently been published in the
Complies Rendus of the French Acad-
emy of Sciences. He says that with
the exception of plants that were
turned abnormally green by parasites,
every plant developing unnatural
growth with which he experimental
was reproduced from its seed. He
has therefore proved the heredity Of
monstrous types, He isolated all the
plants he raised A large proportion
of their descendants were of normal
type, but the abnormal individuals
were sufficiently numerous to prove
the theory that heredity as well as
disease is potent cause of tho null
tiplication of monstrosities.
In several varieties of plants Mr.. de
Vries has reproduced the abnormal
features for seven generations. In
some of them the reproduction of I'M
usual growths is more frequent than
in others. On an average one-third
or two-thirds OF the plants raised were
CT the normal type, except that they
often retained some characteristics OF
monstrosity. Often the anomaly
was repeated in the top of the plant
or in the laternal branches. Occa-
sionally certain plants seemed to be
absolutely normal, but their seed had
not lost the faculty Of reproducing the
monstrosity. A species of chrysanthe-
mum produced in 1898 1914 individ-
uals of abnormal growth among 200
plants used in the experiment. In
the case of another plant only four
per cent. of plants returned to the
normal type. Another plant which
has its highest leaf single in the nor
NAL type, has three leaflets in the ma
jority of abnormal individuals. BIZ
ennial plants, or those requiring two
years to produce their seed, are the
most interesting group in respect of
monstrosities. Their deviations from
the normal type are most numerous.

One of the greatest benefits vege-
tarians claim for their system of living
is that the severe cold of winter is
much less distressing to those who
exclude animal food from their diet
than it is to the people who are regu'
lar meat eaters. Meat, they say, with
its tendency to warm and infame the
blood, is acknowledged to be pco1
summer food for those who suffer
from the heat of that season and its
debilitating influence. From this
sense of debility the vegetarian, it is
claimed, is more or less exempt, but
none can explain why the person eat
ing no meat should feel less keenly
the cold of the Northern winter.
Many members of the Vegetarian So
ciety have made observations to the
same effect.

Larned and Lacrosse, two Western
Kansas towns thirty miles apart, are
fighting for the shipment of the wheat
of that region, and the grain dealers
of the towns have offered to furnish
daily banquet to the farmers who
will haul in not less than twenty-five
bushels.
There is more forceful inducement
than square meal to offer farmers, in
order to get their trade, and that is
good roads. If one of those towns
will see to it that the roads leading to
it are put in good shape for hauling,
a farmer living in the common trade
territory will not be long in making up
his mind where to market his grain.
The town with the biggest pull is the
one which the farmers can reach with
the least pull.

Nothing gals the natural pride of
the true blue Scotchman more than to
have Scotland overlooked. A striking
instance of this feeling is said to have
occurred at the battle of Trafalgar.
Two Scotchmen, messmates and bosom
cronies, happened to be stationed
near each other when the celebrated
signal was given from Admiral Nell
sons ship: England expects every
man to do his duty" "Not a word
about poor Scotland" dolefully re-
marked Donald. His friend cooked
his eye and, turning to his compan-
ion, said: "Man, Donald, Scotland,
kens weel eneuch that nae son o. hers
needs to be tell't to dae his duty.
That's just hint to the Englishers." "

The Queen has spent more time in
Scotland than did many of the Kings
and Queens who ruled Scotland alone.
In fact, Her Majestys spring and
summer sojourns in the Highlands
since 1872 make an aggregate of about
eighteen years. She has, therefore,
been in Scotland as a crowned soyer-
eign longer than Donald Bane, Dun
can, Edgar, Alexander T., Malcolm
the Maiden, Margaret of Norway,
Robert III. and Mary. London Tit

One of the boldest instances of
thieving occurred at the home of
James w. Craig, at the Tonolo-

day morning, in broad daylight,
while Mr.. Craig was at the barn
doing the milking, some person
or persons sneaked into the eel
lar and stole all the meat of hog
Mr. Craig had butchered day
or two before, and also about two
bushels of potatoes. We sympa-
thize with Mr.. Craig, not only for
the loss, but for the inconveni-
ence to which he and his family
were placed. They had a lot of
saw mill men boarding there, and
you had might as well try to APP
pease the appetite of a circular
saw with pine brush, as that of a
hungry saw mill man without
meat or potatoes. So James had
nothing else to do but start out
and never stop until the loss to
the larder was replenished. The
good people of the community
can not understand why such
crimes must go unpunished.
