HOW A PLANT FEEDS.
Digestive Processes Are Carried on
In It's Living Cells.

Digestive Processes Are Carried on
In It's Living Cells.
1t Is more than 1000 years since phi
losophers began to speculate about the
food Of plants dnd what we may term
their digestive" processes, but it Id only
during the last half century that really
clear and definite notions concerning the
food supplies Of the vegetable world have
been generally accepted by scientifc men.
AS far as IL known. the hrst hOtSnieal
experiment ever performed was conduct
ed by Van Hclmont. He placed in pot
200 pounds of dried earth. and in If he
planted willow branch which weighed
five pounds He kept the whole covered
up and daily watcrcd the earth with rain
water. After five years growth the will
low was taken up and again weighed
and was found to have gained IN pounds.
The earth in the pot WAS dried and
weighed and had lost only two ounces.
knowledge was not yet sufficiently ad'
yaucrd to enable Van Hrlmont to inter
pret these striking results correctly. and
he came to the erroneous conclusion that
the increased weight of the plant Was due
to the water which had been supplied to
the roots. He therefore looked upon this
experiment SdPl'Nth'A0 NAN NANosS
which he had advanced-viz. that plants
required no food but water.
Stephen Hales advanced the subject q
great step by indicating that much Of the
increase in weight of plants was derived
from carbon dioxide in the air.
Vegetable cells contain a liquid known
as "cell sap" which is water holding in
solution various materials which have
been taken up from without by the roots
and leaves. These materials are thus
brought in contact with the protoplasn,
which causes them to undergo changes in
composition which prepare them to be
added to the substance OF the plant.
Thus it is in the protoplasm Of the living
cells Of the plant that those digestive"
processes are carried on which Aristotle
believed to occur in the soil. We see,
then, that the living cells are micro.
SCOPE laboratories in which the digestion
of the food Of the plant is carried on

Walter Besant's Picture of the Genu-
inc Article of the Past.
Those who know the family umbrella
Of tradition will be interested in reading
what Walter Besant remembers about
the institution that has disappeared from
view:
1.-The real old family umbrella has gone
out. Call that slim, stuck up, affected,
attentuated thing a family umbrella. Go
away l remember the genuine family
umbrella. 1t was kept in readiness be-
hind every front door; it was large,
portly, heavy instrument; as an emblem
of responsibility it was highly esteemed
in middle class society; it was serviceable
as a tent in rainy weather; it could be
used as a weapon of offense and defense
on occasion. l have seen picture of an
elderly gentleman keeping off q footpad
by means of this lethal umbrella. He
made as if he would spear or prod the
villain. Why, one prod would alone
make hole of six inches diameter in
that murderous carcass. The nurse used
TO carry it. with difficulty managing the
baby and the umbrella; it went out to tea
with the young ladies'; the maid who
fetched them home took the umbrella
with her. It succeeded the lantern and
the club formerly carried by the prentice
when he escorted his mistress to the card
party after dark.
81 remember it, 1 say. There were
three brothers who came to the same
school where I was but tiny little boy.
They lived at some distance and had TO
pass on their way to school through n
stratum Of inferior responsibility. Every
morning brought to these three brothers
the delight and the excitement of battle
with the boys belonging to that inferior
responsibility. To the eldest brother, who
carried the really important weapon, the
umbrella was exactly what his battleax
was to the Lion Heart; SO he raised it; so
he welded it; so he swung it; so he laid
his enemies low to right and to left Of
him, before him and behind him, while
the other two, relying on the books tight
ly strapped, brought them to bear, with
shrewd knocks and thwacks and pound
ings, on heads and shoulders and ribs.
Twas famous family umbrella-green,

BoNkEa's FIRST HORSE.
Bought by Ms Doctor to Save the

~eA~s

said DR.. Hall of New York. ITO be more
accurate, it was l who purchased the an
ilnal for Mr.. Bonner. l was his family
physician during the tifties, and one hot
summer day l met him on Broadway.
He had been so busily engaged with the
New York Ledger which he purchased
in 1851, that | had not seen him for
some time. When l met him. l was &C.
tually startled by the mans appearance.
He was well nigh unrecognizable. Dark
lines showed under his eyes, and his skin
was pale and drawn, like the skin of
consumptive.
Boomer cried, what have you been
doing to yourself? Here. come into tie

"'Bonner,' l persisted, gripping him
by the arm and OBTAINING him, it's my
duty to tell you that you are killing
yourself. You must take a rest Bit
in spite Of the most direful warnings and
strongest pleas the Scotch-Irish in him
insisted on having its own way, and he
left me, not, however, until l had made
him promise to drive regularly in the
country at least once a week.
ITO make sure that he would keep his
promise, | bought an excellent roadster,
which cost, l remember, $3.50. and sent
the animal to Mr.. Bonner. Shortly aft
onward l met him out driving. His
checks were aglow, and on recognizing
me he pulled up alongside and. reaching
his hand to me, said i'll great enthusiasm:
Doctor want to thank you. l never
would have known the joy of sitting be-
hind a good horse had it not been for
YOU
1.-TWO or three months later he bought
n span Of iron gray horses, for which he
paid $500.
From the time of this purchase until
his death Mr.. Bonner was the best
known strictly amateur horseman In this
country. To crafty his taste for fast
horses he purchased some Of the most
celebrated trotters in the world. but
withdrew them from the race course.

Stage Snowstorms.
"You might not think it," said Alexan-
der Semple, q glove manufacturer of Par.

you might not think it, said Alexan-
der Semple, a glove manufacturer of Par
is, to a representative Of the New York
Commercial, "but the theaters have to
come to our back door to get material to
help them out in their beautiful stage eff
fects. Waste glove clippings are now al
most universally used for making snow
in winter scenes. Every wanderer and
outcast you see shivering through these
fierce Siberian snowstorms is perishing
in shower of clippings Of white kid
glove material.
Theatrical people tell me these clip
pings Of kid gloves are much better than
the paper snow formerly used. l think
the superiority of kid glove clippings over
paper is that they cling better to the
clothing Of the perishing outcasts.
''The knowledge of this bit of stage il
fusion rather destroys the effect of a
stage snowstorm for ME, and find my
self involuntarily selecting plays that

AFTER DECAPITA1lON.
Now Long Can u Bchended Man Live
and Move,

and move.
Recently there has been much arg1-
mcnt abroad aiming to prove that the de-
capitation of criminals is the most cruel
form possible of inficting the death SEN
tence. Some of the pronounced oppo-
nents of this form of capital punishment
declared that the circulation of blood in
the severed head did not cease for three
hours and that during that period the
head could see, hear and smell. DIR.
Wurm, u German expert, has felt moved
TO reply to these statements. He says
that he handled many heads of decapitat-
ed criminals and that there is not the
least doubt possible as to the fact of abb
solutc death.
Immediately after the execution" he
says, "the heads were pale, entirely
bloodless and absolutely without life.
Not even reflex actions could be pro-
duced, and only for a short period could
the galvanic current produce them. But
q most interesting inquiry would be that
Of remaining spinal energy in the decap-
itated body. Beheaded frogs, chickens,
ducks and even rabbits have been known
to carry out Independent movements,
such Us scratching of an irritated spot,
jerking away an extremity when it was
pinched and going through the motions
of running, swimming and jumping"
Apropos of this DR.. Wurm quotes this
queer tale told in a book published in
1888 in Hamburg entitled "Greatest
Things In the World; or, So Called Re
lations CuriosR.
Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria in 1887
sentenced Sir Dietz Of Schauenburg with
four squi2es to death for freebooting. AT
the place Of execution Sir Dietz begged
the judges to put him and his squires into
a row, each man one foot from the next.
Then he was to be executed first, and his
body would arise and run as far along
the row of prisoners as he could. Each
man whom he succeeded in passing was
to be let free. The judges laughed and
granted the request, saying that never
before had they seen q beheaded man
run. Thereupon Dietz put his men in
row, placing the one whom he liked the
best nearest to him. Then he kneeled,
the sword fell and took his head off clean,
and in the next instant the body had
risen and was darting by the four men.
1t ran past them all and fell prone few
feet beyond the farthest one. Then the
emperor pardoned the men as his judges
had promised"

The Age of q Horse.

'"The popular idea that the age Of a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth" says a veterinary surgeon, ais
not entirely correct. After the eighth year
q horse has no more new teeth. so that
the tooth method is useless for telling the
age Of horse which is more than eight
years old. AS soon as the set of teeth is
complete, however, n wrinkle begins to
appear on the upper edge of the lower
eyelfd, and new wrinkle is added each
year, so that to get at the age of horse
over eight years old you must figure the
teeth Mus the wrinkles"

EInerHon Ra Art CRITIC.

"When Emerson, at Concord, in 1875
saw his bust, modelled by Daniel Chester
French" says William A. Coffin in The
Century, "he remarked approvingly, after
looking at it intently, That is the face
that l shaye'-not altogether an uncon-
scious tribute to the fidelity of the work,
for he recognized that in detail it con.
formed TO nature. Turning to another
bust of himself that stood in the room,
n portrait quite without character, he
said, This one is as harmless as q

ly speech, gave a very good art criticism
and one that in general terms may be
applied to all of Erench's work."
