The latest article OF French political
faith is, that ''the army Is the life Of
the State" Nothing could better illus
frate the bewilderment of the Gallo In
tellect. Among really self-governing
people the life of the State is supposed
to reside In the brain and Drawn Of
the citizens. without whose labor the
army would be as destitute OF life as a
forgotten theological heresy. This In
version OF the truth is, however, con
genial to the Frenchman because the
army Is spectacular. and nothing is
dearer TO the average Partisan than a
show. Whether there is any reality or
sober truth behind the show Is n ques-
ton which does not interest him.

About thirty years ago a pest OF
bugs made determined attack on tue
tree, and It became hollow-hearted as
n result. The bark remained sound
while the inside rotted away. A few
years ago further misfortune fell the

celebrated by the Elmendorf family
when a spark set the interior of the
old elm on fire. The smoke and flames
drew up through the hollow as though
It were a chimney. The fire was finally

To no nation is the opening Of TWEEN

Japan more important than to the Uni

twenty years no nation has made
greater progress than Japan. Now II is

Already census statistlcians are spec
ulatlng on the new center Of population
OF the United States to be revealed by
the coming census. The steady west
ward course Of this invisible point for
the last half century makes 1t practic-
able TO determine within reasonable
exactness It's location next year In
1850 1t was in West Virginia, south of
Parkersburg. Thence 1t crossed into
Ohio at the next census and traversed
that State by slow stages until in
1880 It had reached Cincinnati. In
1890 It crossed into Indiana, still close
ly following the thirty-ninth parallel,
and reached point a few miles south
OF Greensburg. Its rate of progress
westward has been at about the aver
age rate of five miles per year, having
travelled sos miles since the taking OF
the first census. At this rate of prog
ress during the coming century 1t will
cross into Illinois. Some claim, how
ever, that this Western march of pOpu-
lation will be checked soon and that
possibly the next census will mark
nearly, II not quite, Its extreme West
ern advance. Considering the growth
of Western States and Territories,
however, this does not seem probable.
II Is more likely that the limit will be
reached somewhere In Illinois the com
ing century. Within few decades
Chicago will be the nearest the center
of population Of the United States Of
any city OF consequence, and thus the
star Of empire will shine in the zenith
of the inland metropolis Of the coun-
try.

A Queer Kind cd ClImblne Plant.


A queer kind of climbing plant has
lately been found in Brazil, where It
grows in the open air. Its flowers
have fiat, horny plates, just above the
nectar cups in the center Of the bios
som, and which are called pinching
bodies. When the insect thrusts Its
sucker into the nectar the plates pinch
1t fast, and when 1t leaves the insect
must either carry Off the center of the
flower or leave its sucker behind. In
the former case the pollen Is likely to
reach and fertilize another flower; In
the latter the poor insect dies. Some.
times the legs. as well as the noses, of
insects are found sticking in the flow.

strong enough to get away whole.
