MEXICAN CENTRAL MEETS.
A. a. Robinson VIII Be Reelected
President


Boston, May AT the meeting of the
Mexican Central directors the follow
ing new members We're elected: John
c. Davis. Mexico; John J. Mitchell,
Chicago; Richard Olney, Boston; H. c.
Clay Pierce, ST. Louis; Eben Richards,
St Louis; J. C. Van Blarcom, st. Louis;
B. F. Yoakum, st. Louis; Fred H
Prince, Boston; c. D. Simpson, Scran-

Old members reelected: Justine Fer
nandez, Mexico; Pablo Martinez Del
Rio. Mexico; Levi z. Letter. Chicago;
E. Rollins, Mexico; Charles E. Perkins,
Burlington; Albert A. Robinson, To-
peka~
From the information given out it
does not appear that any railroad com
pany has secured the majority interest
in the Mexican Central, but it is con-
sidered likely that the St Louis & San
Francisco will ultimately have a place
in the management of it.
It seemed to be the sentiment that
later changes would be made in the
board of directors chosen today where
by a place would be made for Nathaniel
Thayers who now is in Europe, and
that other New York directors will be
added.

been contributing to the collection of
his friend, Professor n. L. Brown, of
the Herbarium, Kew Gardens, Lon
don. The amazing plant which Mr..
Suverkrop has now found Is an orchid
that takes a drink whenever it feels
thirsty by letting down tube into the
water, the tube, when not in use, being
coiled up on top Of the plant.
"One hot afternoon" says Mr.. Su-
verkrop, Il sat down under some brush
wood at the side Of Il lagoon on the
Rio de Ia Plata. Near at hand was a
forest of dead shorn trees. which had
actually been choked to death by or
chlds and climbing cacti. In front Of
me, and stretching over the water of
the lagoon and about foot above il,
was a branch of one of these dead
mon 'planta del ayre' grew on it, and a
network of green cacti twined around
it.
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 q
long slender stem about one-e!ghth of
an inch thick by one-fourth inch wide,
the lower end of which was in the
water to depth Of about four inches.
II at once went over to examine my
discovery. Imagine my surprise when
touched the plant to see this centre
stem gradually contract and convul-
sively roll itself up in spiral like q
roll of tape.
But more surprising yet was the OBJ
ject and construction of this stem. 1
found on close examination and dissec-
tion that it was q long slender fiat
tube, the walls about 1-32 of an inch
thick, cellular in construction, open at
the outer end and connected at the in
ner end to the roots by series of hair
like tubes.
by subsequent observation 1 found
that when the plant was in want of
water this tube would gradually I'M
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 were, direct into
the roots OF the plant. The coil re-
manned 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
coillng 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 pltiful to see how this
tube would work its way over the
ground in search Of the water that was
not"

ed all up with me, the tiger being very
close and in rush. OF course, 1t
was not me, but the pony that he
wanted, but had he knocked out the
latter his own fears at finding n man
under him would have made him maui
me, too. There was but one thing to
be done, namely, to put bold front
on it and try to frighten him, and l,
therefore, instantly wheeled the
pony's head toward him, shouting at
the same moment. The tiger stopped
short and stared at me, but he did not
offer to retreat. l then moved the
pony toward him, shouting loudly as
l did so, and the tiger then turned his
tail to me. and, having retired about
30 yards, he sat bolt upright on his
launches and stared at me.

him off, and before l reached him he

The drying plant of the hospital is

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
