THE INTELLIGENT LEAF.

Supplies to the Plant Nearly All it's
 Food and Never Makes a Mistake In
 the Proper Sustenance.
 Not the least of the things which in- terest at the museum of the, Carnegie Institute are the models that illustrate animal and plant anatomy. Perhaps the plant is the more interesting ma- chine than the animal, for the animal has brain power to direct 1t, while the plant grows and carries on It's affairs without even the excuse of the faint spark of intelligence that Is the heri- tage of the higher creation. But there is more or less of a similarity between plant and animal in spite of the line that brains make. The plant goes ahead in it's own way, pursuing it's plans, making no more mistakes than the human family make, and living a life about as eventful. The seeding that lifts its head above the ground begins long struggle for food, and it

The American flag will never wave in triumph over the pros- trate form of liberty.

 The next speaker was Representative Clark of Missouri. He said in part:
 Wherever people are struggling for liberty they should have the friendship of all Americans. It is astounding that there should be any argument as to that proposition within the broad confines of this puissant republic. Two years ago there would not have been. In the elder day we would have made the welkin ring; now, governmentally speaking we are dumb as oysters. Wherefore?

While one is from man, and one from fish, and one from bat, and otf1- CTS from other creatures, the skeletons which are shown are so much alike that it is hard to imagine they are not all made from the same plan.
