TO increase WAR TAX LIST.
Additional Articles May Be Made
Liable to Duty.
MORE REVENUE Is NEEDED.
Several Propositions Under Discussion
Express and Telegraph Companies
Mentioned as Proper Subjects for In
creased Taxation.

1t is altogether probable that the
next annual report of the internal rev.
enue bureau will recommend number
of changes in the war revenue act. The
receipts from this source are not nearly
equal to the expenditures.
One of the propositions now under
consideration is TO assess tax on the
sale or rental of all patent protected
articles. 1t is suggested also that eX-
press and telegraph companies doing
a money exchange business should be
required to pay an annual tax for the
privilege. and it is also likely that a
modification of the law with respect
to mutual insurance companies may
be recommended.
1t is not improbable that congress
will be asked TO appoint an expert
commission to thoroughly go over the
ground and recommend such changes
in detail as experience has shown to
be necessary.

PLANTS THAT SHOOT BULLETS.
Mimic Battles Often Take Place Between
Wistaria Vines.

Many common garden plants shoot
bullets. not as big nor as hard as those
shot from gun, but they go quite as
far and are as effective prOpOrtiOnate-
ly. If the plants which shoot them
were as big as gun these vegetable
bullets might do great damage. AS it
is, battles take place between plants,
during which the commandments are
fierce enough while they last. The
common wiStaria has been known to
shoot bullet over fifty feet. This
curious property is the result of ma
lures efforts to scatter the seeds as
far as possible. Many plants have
seed pods which are held, so to speak,
in a state of tension. AS the plant
grows its fibers become stretched, I'M
til when the seeds are fully developed
the retaining capsule bursts open
violently and the seeds literally are
hurled in every direction. The vista
ria has seeds which in size and shape
are much like the pistol bullet, and as
the plant loves to grow on hillsideS
and on eminences, the distance these
vegetable bullets travel before touch
ing the ground is very great. When
the number of plants is large, and they
all shoot off together, a mimic battle
takes place which must be alarming
indeed to the small animals in the
neighbOrhOod. One can imagine the
CONSERVATION of the squirrels and the
Ni,.f1n Il,
pods are flying If one of these bullets
were to hit a bird in vital part it
would undoubtedly injure it, The
wild geranium is another plant that
hurls its seeds in all directions. The
story is told of an invalid who had
placed some wistaria plants on a man.
tel near her bed, and forgot them
Some time afterward, when she lay
sick in bed, her family heard her
scream out, and rushed into the room
TO find her in a nervous, frightened
condition, exclaiming that bullet had
been shot into the room. She was
soOthed and quoted by assurances that
such thing was impossible. But
later in the day she cried out again,
this time insisting that a bullet had
struck the window pane and had come
across the room. Sure enough, the

bed. When examined it turned out to
be a wistaria pod. Then she remem-

AGAINST CREMATION.
Many Difficulties Met by It's Advocates
In England.

Cremation had many more difficult
ties to meet and much stronger preju-
dices to overcome in England than
have confronted it here. but the Brit
ish advocates of this method of dispOs-
ing of the dead were persistent, and
already their views, if not exactly pop
ular yet, have ceased to excite active
opposition. The Cremation society is
now 20 years old. 1t took four years
of work and argument to bring about
the building of the first crematorium,
and six years more passed before an
incineratiOn was publicly performed
under the society's auspices The num-
Der of incineratiOns has increased
gradually from three in 1855 to 24O in
1898, and the total has reached 2S3.
The argument against cremation upon
which most emphasis has been laid by
its reasonable, as distinguished from
its sentimental opponents. has been
the danger of destroying the evidence
OF crime To meet this objection.
which is real. though of slight practical
Importance, the English society has
assumed the obligation of investigat-
ing the condition of death in the case
OF every body for the incineration of
which application is made, and it has
now secured the services of distin-
guished pathologist for consultation
purposes in cases of unusual doubt or
difficulty, and for making necropsies
when required. The Medical Record
commenting on these facts. says it is
an interesting question whether crema-
ton, while remaining optional in
cases of death from ordinary causes,
should not sooner or later become
obligatory when death is due to such
transmissible diseases as smallpox,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, cholera, ty-
phoid fever, tuberculosis, etc, at all
events in the chief centers of popula-
ton" Such a course, it says, would
seem amply justified to sustain the
active efforts being made in every d.
rection to limit the ravages and re-
strict the dissemination of preventable
disease.-New York Times.

Drought Kills the Insect-Eating Toad.

Drought Kills tne Insect-Eating Toad.
Aside from the parching up OF his
garden truck, which worries the anna
teur farmer in the suburbs as keenly
as it does the man who farms for liv-
ing, the disappearance of the friendly,
Woodworking toad is a disappoint-
ment. The toad is victim too. of the
drought, for moisture is necessary to
his existence Many Of them, now I'M
able to find the requisite shelter and
dampness, have died outright; others
have migrated from the gardens and
other exposed places to the woods,
seeking some congenial spot not yet
parched by the sun. AS it is estimated
that single toad will destroy nearly
10 900 insects and worms in one sum-
mer, his retreat will leave victorious
army of vegetation destroyers in full
possession of the already suffering gar
dens.
