Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy has a Won
derful memory which will probably
come into play in the Venezuela dis
pute in Paris. In trial in 1874 he
made an address to the jury covering
40 hours, delivering over 100000 words,
a feat unparalleled in the New York
bar. In preparing the present case he
has consulted 10000 books, maps,
papers, and pamphlets, and it has
taken his undivided time for nearly a
year.

old Plants.

Some twenty-five years ago, when the
scoriae Tor slag) produced by the an-
cient Greeks In working the silver
mines of Lawimur, near Athens, was
removed, In order to be reworked by
more efficient modern appliances, the
seeds Of kind Of poppy Of the genus
Glancinon, which had lain underneath
the Stag in a dormant condition for at
least 1900 years, sprang up again all
over the uncovered ground. Unknown
in modern times, this plant was de-
scribed In the first century of our era
by Dioscorides and Pllny, and had dis
appeared from the face of the globe
for Is or 20 centuries. The fact that
these seeds should have retained their
vitality so long seems very extraor-
binary, but there are other instances
quite as remarkable. For instance.
raspberry seeds found in 1885 in an
ancient tumulus, in a coffin buried
thirty feet below the surface, and be-
Iieyed to have been there since the
second century, were successfully
planted. And In another case seeds OF
the Polygonum Convolyulus, dug up
from the bottom of sandpIt, where
they were believed to have been buried
for 1000 years, were still vigorous and
produced healthy plants.

Rock rslsad Road Adopts Hmoks.uon-

Rock rslsad Read Adopts smeks-ccn-

The Rock Island Railroad has estab-
lished precedent In the West by
equipring their engines with smoko-oon-
sumers, which entirely do away With
the heavy volume OF black smoke
which is so disagrseable to passengers.
This experiment has been thoroughly
tested during the past few months. on
their Colorado Flyer. and has proved
TO be- such success that the Rock
leland has adopted II over It's entire
syatcn, and. 40 soon as possible. all Of
their engines will be equipped with
this new device and Immediately be

and cindets, thus adding much to the
pleasure Of travelling; and, to the road.
II is a saving In fuel as we'll as making
the appearance and equlment OF the

from this new equipment are unlimit.
cd and everything Ia favorable and for
the best interests OF all. To make this
smokeless firing success. two thinga
are nocessaryi the equipment Of the
engine with the proper apparatus neces-
sary to consume the hydrocarbons,
thrown of from the coal, and the
thorough training OF engineer and ilre.
man in the manner OF firing and the
best methods OF proceeding at all
times in order to obtain tho desired re-
suits.
The manner Of equipment Is briefly
as follows: In the fire boz OF the en-
gine Ia built hollow b-ick arch. Be-
low this and about foot above the
CRATES are bored four holes In the sidea
Of the fire box. In each Of these holes
Ia inserted sharp's patent DETECTING
air tube. connecting with the hollow
arch. Through these tubes the out.
side air 10 drawn in and, after being
heated. is allowed to mix with tho I'M
consumed gasses or hydIocar arbons. by
this mixing the gasses are transferred
into q perfect state OF combustion and
in this state they arc consumed. aud
thoroughly disposed Of. thus prevent.
ing them from being forced out into

every railroad In the United States.
