even Buds Grow Old.

According to Professor Adam Sedg.
wick, says The Youths Companion,
there is reason to believe that buds
share in the growing old Of the parent
plant. He illustrates his meaning in
this way: Suppose the average life of
an individual plant-say a tree-to be
100 years, then a bud removed when
the parent plant Is so years old will
also be virtually 50 years of age. and If
transplanted by grating will be able
to live on the graft only so years more.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 16-Duncan u
Fletcher. a prominent lawyer of Jack
sonviIle, a progressive citizen and a wei
known leader In political circles, has de-
cided to enter the race for the mayoralty.
The announcement OF his candidacy last
night has been generally discussed
throughout the city, and 1t is the verdict
hat he will prove very strong factor
n the coming mayoralty fight.
Mr.. Fletcher is a native of Pike county.

Jacksonville the following year. he en-
tered into the practice of law, in which
he has been very successful. In 1885 ne

once took high rank In the affairs OF
Jacksonville. For two consecutive terms
he was president of the Council. He is q
good campaign orator, and fine, alb

candidates. DIR. w. Mel. Dancy, who was
Mayor for many years. /. Grunthal, who
also has been prominent In local politics.
and who has held several municipal posi-
tons, and James ID. Burbridge. II Is
probable that other candidates will an

Our attention has recently been called
o some curious experiments conducted
some time ago by MIR. Charters White, NJ.
I. G. s., lately the president of the Roy
. Il Chronological Society of Great Britain.
Upon examining some skulls dating back
from the stone age, he noted that several
OF the teeth, although quite free from
carries, were thickly coated with tartar.
II occurred to him that 1t would be pos
sible by rough analysis to Identify any
particles of food that might be embodied
In this natural concrete, and so reveal the

der the microscope, was found to consist
Of corn-husk particles, hairs from the
outside of the husks, spiral vessels from
vegetables, particles of starch, the point

cells probably of fruit. the barblets OF

to this varied list were some round, red
bodies, the origin OF which defied detec-

MAC ARTHUR AND CHAFFEE.
Change Depends ON Establishment
of civil Government.

OF CIV1l Govern ment.
Washington, March 16.-Gov. MacAr-
thur win remain In command of the Phil
ippines until the civil government is es-
tablshed. That the War Department ex-
poets such a government to be establish
ed within the next two months is evil
dent as it has been determined that Gen.
Chaffee will succeed Gen. Macarthur as
commander of the forces in the Philip
pines. Gen. Chaffee and his force in
China will sail from Taku about the last
of April. He ranks Gen. Macarthur and
would naturally be in command, but IL
the civil government is not established in
that time Gen. Macarthur will continue
to be military governor and commandant.
The War Department feels very conf
dent that civil government Will be sue
cessfuily establ shed and that the hard
lighting is practically at an end. The dis
patch from Gen. Macarthur received to-
day is regarded as very encouraging. No
information has been received at the
department either through military or
unofficial channels regarding Agunaldo.
but the impression prevails that he is
dead or has disappeared to some of the
very remote islands, seeking a place of
safety
