the way from 2,500,000 to 9,400,000,
says a correspondent of the New York
Press. A large part of the country is
totally uneXplored. The French lately
have gone in behind Morocco and ex-
tended the boundaries of .Algiers. so as
to take in the Tuat region, chain of
fertile oases through which run the
caravan rotes. The Sultan has expos
tulated and is still expostulating, but
with no effect so far as can be seen.
Morocco is sometimes called the ''sick

formed believe that it is pretty lively

been contributing to the collection of
mis- friend, Professor N. E. Brown, of
the Herbarium, Kew Gardens, Lon
don. The amazing plant which Mr..
Suverkrop has now found is an orchid
thirsty by letting down a tube into the
water, the tube, when not in use. being
coiled up on top of the plant.
Zone hot afternoon" says Mr.. Su-
verkrop, II sat down under some brush
wood at the side of a lagoon on the
Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was
forest of dead shorn trees, which had
actually been choked to death by or
chids and climbing cacti. In front of
me, and stretching over the water Of
the lagoon and about foot above it.
was branch of one of these dead
trees. Here and there clusters of CON-
mon 'planta del ayre' grew on it, and 4
network of green cacti twined around
1t.
Among the orchids I noted one diff.
ferent from the rest the leaves, sharp
lancehead shaped. growing all round
the root and radiating from it. From
the centre or axis of the plant hung
long slender stem about one-eighth of
an inch thick by one-fourth inch wide,
the lower end of which was in the
water to depth of about four inches.
Il at once went over to examine my
discovery. Imagine my surprise when
l touched the plant to see this centre
stem gradually contract and convul-
sively roll itself up in spiral like a
roll of tape.
But more surprising yet was the OBJ
ject and construction of this stem. I
found on close examination and dissec-
ton that it was a long slender fiat
tube the walls about 1872 of an inch
thick. cellular in construction, open at
the outer end and connected at the in
ner end to the roots by a series of hair
like tubes.
by subsequent observation 1 found
that when the plant was in want of
water this tube would gradually un-
wind till it dipped into the water. Then
it would slowly coil round and wind
up. carrying with it the amount of
water that that part of the tube which
had been immersed contained, until
when the final coil was taken the water
was dumped, as it We're direct into
the roots of the plant The coil re-
mained in this position until the plant
required more water. Should the
plant. however, be touched while the
tube is extended, the orchid acts like
the sensitive plant (mimosa) and the
coiling action is much more rapid.
Il found many of these plants, all
directly over the water or over where
the water had been. In the latter case
it was almost pitiful to see how this
tube would work it's way over the
ground in search of the water that was

are beyond all help. In the advanced
stages of those diseases the whole ker-
mel is infected with the germ and be-
comes a mass of spores, which have
consumed all the nutritive parts of the
kernel, leaving only thin she'll on the
outside. When this breaks there is a
countless number of germs released
which have a fetid odor and are ruin

black with smut as to be irrecogniZa-
BILE as wheat In addition to this un-
sanitary or dirty wheat there are kerr
nels that get the dropsy; that is, they
become saturated with water, and are
unfit for anything except stock fodder
Sometimes an entire crop will be af-
fected in this way, and it usually
proves to be a total loss.
The drying plant of the hospital is
capable of treating $500 bushels per
hour. The plant includes a series of
frames of perforated metal, through
which hot air is forced until the wet
wheat is completely dried. The wheat
is divided into three classes, depending
upon the amount of water it contains.
and this condition corresponds to the
stage of the disease. Tough" wheat
contains about five per cent. of water.
damp" wheat about eight per cent,
and wet wheat about fifteen per
cent Normal wheat contains about
four per cent. of water. After wheat
in any of the stages of the disease re-
ceives the treatment given at the hos
pital, it comes out in a normal condi-
tion and ready for the market as first
class wheat.
Securing is the treatment given for
smut. The dirty wheat is passed
through rapidly revolving machines of
metal and the dirt is removed by fric-
ton. In one stage of the treatment
the wheat is thrown from the top of
the elevator to the bottom floor, and
the erosion is such that in a few
months pine planks, two and q half
inches Ia thickness, will be completely

Is largely on the lightness of her con-
struction that those interested in the
yacht expect she will make her great
gains. In model there is very little
difference between her and the Colum-
bia. The slight differences made are
expected to enable her to carry ten
per cent. more canvas than the cham
pion of 1899, which alone should make
her very much faster than the older
yacht but with the great gains made
in the construction of the hull these
gains will be much more than they
