American Soldiers Wanted.

Henry Collins, who was an officer
in one of the Mississippi regiments
last summer. is at the Riggs House.
Not long ago Mr.. Collins received an
offer from former officer of the Brit
ish army, who had served in the Sudan,
and who is now in the military employ
of the Central American Republic,
Honduras, to join him with commits
sion in the army Of Honduras.

unteers have received similar offers. &"
Mr.. Collins said, and some of them
will no doubt serve in case of another
war, some with Honduras and some
with Costa Rica | know both conn-
tries well, and have met number of
English officers who are the mainstay of
the two armies. They are now fighting
on the opposite sides; some of them
made campaigns in the Sudan side by
side before. 1t is reported that a
large number of American soldiers
have just made engagements TO serve
in Honduras against the rebels. /

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 p6
yet very we'll understood, but 1t
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 Vrles, 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 Acal-
envy 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 provo
the theory that heredity as well as
disease Is potent cause of tho null
tiplication of monstrosties.
In several varieties of plants Mr.. de
Vries has reproduced the abnormal
features for seven generations. In
some Of them the reproduction of nm
usual growths is more frequent than
in others. On an average e-third
or twO-thirds OF the plants raised were
OF 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 bo
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 i'm the ma.
iOrity Of abnormal individuals. BIZ
enuial plauts, or those requiring two
years 10 produce their seed, nre the
most interesting group i'm respect OF
monstosities Their deyiations from
the normal type are most numerous.

1T Is weilknown that many rich men
are haunted by the fear that they will
become poor, the dread being so
strong in some cases that it amounts
TO a mania. An Euglishmau whose
income is twenty thousand pounds a
year is now impressed with the belief
that he has not enough 90 live upon,
but is comforted by finding on his
plate at the breakfast table each week
day morning a sovereign, Of which,
most likoly, ho is careful not 10 spend
more than half or perhaps one
fourth. Some few years ago q rich
man, who had devoted all his life TO
making a fortune which he faucied
that he had lost was employed in his
own garden at one pound a week, and
attained a great age, with perhaps as
much happiness as he had ever en-
ioyed. After all there is not much
need TO pity such men, and noespecial
reason TO blame them They had no
opportunity in their young days of
learning how TO enjoy recreation. and
they never knew tho duty Of having a
hobby. En- Waverley Magazine.
