Quakine of the Aspen.

1t is well known that the vibratory
motion of the leaf of the aspen and
other poplar trees is caused by a flat
tening of the petiole at it's junction
with the lamina. The lower part of
the leaf stalk is elongated and rigid,
thus forming a basis upon which the
fattened portion of the stalk can. in
virtue of its elasticity, move to and
fro as the wind acts upon the leaves
OF the tree. There have been sew
eral theories offered by botanists,
none of them very satisfactory, how
ever, to explain the origin of this
curious structure and the purpose
served by the trembling" of the leaf.
H. j. Colbourn, in a recent letter to
Nature, suggests new explanation.
He thinks the vibration may be an
adaptation for rapidly throwing off
the excess of condensed moisture,
which is liable to form on The foliage

Makes Graceful Exit.

Entertaining a burglar unawares Is
the unusual experience of Miss Mahala
Read, young English student, living
at 412 West One Hundred and Fifteenth
street, on Cathedral Heights, New
York. The brief visit was pleasant to
both sides while it lasted, and ter
minated in a manner fairly satisfac-
tory to both persons, for Miss Read
didn't get hurt and the burglar got
away. Miss Read recently became a
member of the household of Owen
Oliver, newspaper man of Chicago,
now representing the Hmes-Herald OF
that city as it's eastern correspondent
The occupants Of the fiat, besides Miss
Read, are Mr.. and Mrs Oliver, and theiI
little boys, Owen, Jr., and Frederic, six
and five years old, respectively. Mrs
Oliver had gone to the theater with a
neighbor, and had arranged with the
latter's colored maid to come in from
time to time during the evening and
see that no harm came to the little
boys, who had been put to sleep in
their different rooms. Miss Read was
out, and Mr.. Oliver was at his Office
Miss Read came home at about nine
o'clock and saw the burglar sitting in
the parlor in the big easy chair.
She was surprised only because he
wore his hat, for there are a number
of Columbia students in the building
and they frequently visit the Oliver
apartment. She has not yet made the
acquaintance of all these callers, so as
she passed into her own room she said:
Good evening" to which the burglar
politely responded, and she remembers
now that his voice was soft and his &C
cent gentle.
"Are you looking out for the babies2'
she inquired. and he replied; "Oh, yes
but they're all right. They haven

There are those who fear that South
America is destined to supersede the
United States as the great provider OF
beef for the world. Each year South
America increases in Importance as
rival to the United States as a producer
OF beef. There are now in the Argen-
tine, Paraguay and Uruguay fully so,-
0eo, 900 cattle; in the United States A.
00o,ooo. While the cattle ranges of the
United States are becoming more and
more restricted each year, there are
in the three South American countries
naMed vast regions suitable for cattle
raising which have not as yet been
utilized. In Texas now the cattle no
longer roam over vast ranges, but are
practically kept in pasturage, the graz
ing grounds being inclosed in miles
upon miles Of wire fences. Theold-time
cowboy, too, has become largely q
fence rider" patrollng the outside of
the Enclosures to see that the fences are
not broken down and that the cattle
are not lost, strayed or stolen. Many
cowboys are said to have gone to South
America, where they have taken up

In order to gain the door he had to

he stepped into the full glare of the

she screamed at sight of it, and the
burglar went down the stairs by leaps

OF the five-story building dashed out
into the Railways after him. He
gained the street, two flights below,

at a cost of $3.50 a head, and these he
can sell when fattened for $3.50 a
head Experienced cattle men In the
Chaco have cleared as much as SIS. OOo
the first year on an expenditure of SlO.-
900. They put in $1,000 for land, $500
for cattle, and 1900 for labor and
other expenses. Living and labor in
Paraguay cost about one-eighth as
much as they do in the United States.
The gauchos are paid So month in
the Chaco. In the United States the
cowboys wages used to be $40 month.
The gaucho's food, which is supplied
to him, costs about So a month. Cow
boys are furnished with food costin o
$40 a month.
The cattle of northern Paraguay are
similar to the Texas cattle, being of
fully as good stock and much tanner
and more easily managed. Though
there are now in northern Paraguay
only enough cattle for small beef in
dustry, their numbers are rapidly in
ereasing, and in three or four years
this region bids fair TO be the center of
Q great beef industry.
As yet these South American regions
have not the facilities for transporta-
ten which the cattle districts in the
United States possess, but it is only
question of time when they will have
them, and then, asks the Chicago Trib-
une, can the United States hold its own
