To Save sink,np sh,p..

Among the inventions which had
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
she'll 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
leak, the rod carrying the plate is first
thrust outward through the hole: then
q 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 1t is drawn back
by the rod SO as more or less COM
pletely to cover the hole. Next a cell
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
that may have to be dealt with.

Divers Are BAD Tempered.

One of the peculiar effects of divins
is that it makes one bad tempered,
says writer in The Outlook. AS the
irritability passes away as soon as
one is drawn up it is only reasonable
to suppose that it is caused by the I'M
usual pressure of air inside the dress,
that in what particular way it acts
cannot say. My experience and that
of other divers whom have question
ed is that the merest trifle may make
one furious. There is always some
thing wrong The lines are held too
tight or too slack, or there is too much
air in the dress or too little. or the
boat is drifting too fast, or shells are
not plentiful enough, or the dress is
leaking, or the face glass is not clean,
and SO forth. have occasionally be-
come so angry at some imaginary
trouble that / have given the signal

Cab "Taxameters..

London has at last risen against the
cabby. A machine lately invented will
register every circumstance in connec-
ton with a ride in 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
store the charge is just the same, as

shifts the regulator from the wheel to

S.gnor Emilio B0rgiotti, an enthusi-

Italy, has succeeded in producing
new species of violetssix centimeterssin

one hundred petals. He has presented
some Of his precious violets to Queen
Margerhita and to the Duchess of Aos-

les Of many florists, he still refuses to
place them on the market or to reveal

what "Kalsomines" Arc.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary
preparations manufactured from
chalks, clays, whiting, ETC., and are
stuck on the wall with decaying ami
NAL glue. They bear no comparison
with Alabastine. which is a cement
that goes through process of setting,
and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine. should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled. Nothing else is "just as
good" as Alabastine. The claims of
new limitations are absurd ON their
face. They cannot offer the test Of
time for durability.

Species Of Plants Known.

A comparison of the number of
species Of plants known to the vari-
Gus learned men, who have lived dur
lng 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 500-400 B. c., knew only 234
species or kinds of plants. Theoph-
rastus. S71-225 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 ca 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
1855 and 1904, enumerated and de-
scribed 1s,625 species Of plants. The
number of plants known to Linnaeus
in 1771 was only 1851 species, less than
half the number supposed to have
been known to Ray. PERSON 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 1896. 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.
