COLORING OF PLANTS.
Freak Roses, Carnations and Lilies of
the Valley Are Produced by
Means of Minerals.

There are any number of human be-
ings in this world who do not aCquiesce
in the wonderful works of nature and
who are not on the constant lookout to
improve if possible, some of her in
stitutions.
The question of how to color a ose
in order to counterfeit natures Obsti-
macy in not producing that flower with
blush hue has been a good parallel to
the problem of the ~alchemists.
For many years all sorts of coloring
materials have been utilized without
any success, though, for the dyes en-
ployed were usually of the aniline char
acter, which is poisonous for all kinds
of living plants.
Ever since Alexandra Dumas immOr-
~talization of the black tulip, attempts
have been made, but without results,
to produce such a quasi-beautiful
flower. In fact, all efforts to alter the
pigments of our familiar flowers have
proved to be mere experiments, nor
has anything definite been obtained
beyond a queer-looking discolored
plant, more dead than alive.
BY the process of grating, where
nature was called in as an agent, The
results of varying the hues and pig
ments were of a highly satisfactory or
der.
But then since ages there has been
a premium for the production of a blue
rose, a blue dahlia and a black tulip.
Roses of a black color were exhibited
not long ago in London. The variety
did not survive. 1t is more than likely
that aniline mixture was the cause
Of the color as well as the death. The
carnation lends itself readily to expert
ments in c~oloring. In Belgium, where
chat flower is regarded as a national
institution, thousands of varieties are
produced. In the coal mining regions
it used to be of frequent occurrence
that the Homecoming Iaborers, after

The Depth of. Windstorms.

The penetration of ordinary cyclones
into the higher regions of the atmos-
phere is slight. They are only two or
three miles deep. Hurricanes are five
or six miles deep. The anti-cyclonio
and cyelonic areas are hardly to be
considered as eenters Of motion except
in the very lowest strata, since currents
Of air blow directly over them from
west to east, even in the cumulus re-
gion of the Rocky mountain districts.

not hold good

GALVESTON. Tex, Sept. l0.-Six hun
dred to 1000 persons killed, q city al
most in ruj-s the wharf front entirely
gone, every ~s-~n steamer stranded.
and death and destruction on every
hand, with q money loss that cannot
be estimated now, ia, SO far as can be
learned at this hour, the result Of the
appalling calamity that has befallen
Galveston.
The great storm has left her helpless
and her stricken people are compelled
to appeal to the outside world for aid.
The estimates of loss of life vary be-
tween the figures given, but an accurate
count Of the dead is impossible now,
and the real number killed in the storm
will probably never be known. No one
attempts to estimate the damage done
business and residence property.
The storm commenced raging be-
tween and 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing and by noon the waters from the
gulf had inundated the island as far in
land as Twelfth street. From there the
waters gradually encroached farther
inland,
Rising Fifteen Iuches an Hour.
At o. m. there was 36 inches Of water
in the lobbies Of the fremont hotel, the
highest point in the city. Across the
street, where the ground is lower,
horse was drowned. At 9 o'clock the
water on Market street was level with
the seats of the street cars. After that
it gradually receded, but the wind was
cyclonic in it's force. It reached q
velocity of "a miles an hour and then
the instruments in the government OBJ
servatory we're wrecked.
AS soon as daylight came and the
fury of the wind had abated the work
of rescue and searching for the dead
In one room the reporter
counted seven dead bodies.
The fremont hotel was made rem
devious for the living. The women
and children slept in the diningrooms
and parlors and the men lay on the
floors in the Railways.
At noon the big wagon bridge went
down with a crash and it is thought
the other bridges, three in number, are
totally, or almost totally, wrecked.

DESOLATlON AND DEATH.

Many Points in Texas Show the Effects of
the Storm.
Houston, Tex, Sept. ia scene of
desolation and death not only at Gal
weston but at many points in Texas is
the condition presented as a result Of
Saturdays storm. Estimates of the
number Of dead are placed between
1900 and $500. The property loss will
aggregate many millions Of dollars,
although no accurate figures can be
given at present. The streets Of GAL
weston are mostly under water, wires
are in a hopeless tangle and dead
bodies are thickly strewn among float
ing debris. No complete list Of dead is
obtainable until the water recedes.
Narrowing tales Of the loss of whole
families and many miraculous escapes
are told by the few survivors who have
thus far reached this city. The relief
trains which arrived here have been the
only means of communication with
Galveston, and definite
information as to the present situation
is scarce. The cotton and rice crop
throughout the district devastated by
the storm is badly damaged in many
places and in others totally destroyed.
Reports from Richmond, Tex, Letitia
and Eagle Lake bring additional lists
of dead and property losses, and many
places cut off from communication are
yet to be heard from

The city is in ruins and the dead will

Testament have followed the changes
made by Wesley so closely as to make
the effect startling. He championed
the great doctrine of Armenianism,
when the doctrine was so bitterly OPP
posed that every unclassified hereto
was called an Armenian But the teach
ings Of Wesley are to-day practically
received by the great body of Evangel-
ical Christians. The old type of Cal
vanism which the early Methodists COM
batted Is dead The Wesleyan preach
ers put the heart above the head in
their theological attitude, and when
they preached a universal atonement for
every man, woman and child, calling
on men to repent and be saved from
their sins, the people were stirred to
cry out THE love of Christ constraineth
me-" No small part Of the triumph of
Methodism has been due to the empha-
sis placed on ethical life, on character,
on practical exemplification of the
fruits of the spirit in holy living. The
early Wesleyans were men of little repu-
tation but of great character To-day
our reputation is In danger Of engulflng

tory into the twentieth century it must
be by the old process Of regeneration of
the individual soul, the gospel of Jesus
