plant is a most lovely creation. In
deed, a writer in the Kitchen Magazine
says that nothing in nature is more
beautiful. These plants are associated
in our minds with death and decay,
and SO an unreasoning prejudice has
developed against them. In many
cases they do accompany decay, but as
the lily rises above the fOulest pond,
so mold may develop its frost.like

The most common Of the molds is

to housekeepess as the fungus, against
which fight is made at canning time.

if removed, gives forth fine, powdery
dust. Under the microscope it is .

probably less interested in its form
than in methods of combating it.
In their struggle for existence the
plants are very hardy and obstinate,
and nature has provided them with q
way OF upsetting the most careful
plans for their undoinR. The spores.

times, for q reason thus far unknown
to science, pass into q resting stage.
Instead of sprouting at once, they lie
dormant for an indefinite period, and
germinate apparently at their own
sweet will. A German scientist has
discovered that spore may lie quies-

This is probably the reason why

WONDERFUL IRON ELEPHANT.

exposition which may come along and

or for his " Jonah's whale" 80 feet
long an big of girth in proportion.
"The iron elephant is the chief
feature and creation Of Mr.. Husak's
inventive faculty, and he proposes to
adopt the metal beast to more uses
than the Indian beast is capable of in
the flesh. The body OF the animal is
to be four stories in height, the floors
to he reached by elevators running in
the legs OF che creature. The first
floor is to be used and rented for small
show rooms; the second floor for a
cafe and restaurant, and furnish en-
trance to the elephants trunk, which
is to he constructed to pull the cars
uo and down and at the same time
swing. The third floor will be used
for all sorts OF amusements, and serve
as an entrance to the "chute of
chutes" and to the small Ferris wheels
in each ear Of the elephant. The
fourth hoo- can be used for a theater
or music hall, placing the stage in the
head of the beast. On top of the
creature will be roof garden for an
observatory. The eyes will be two
gigantic searchlights, and the tail
might be used by some inventor to
show new fire escape. All signals
may be trumpeted from this structure,
and electric power will be used to run
the different devices.

BOY FATALLY INJURED.
Fell Into Conveyors in a Breaker at
Jermvn

n distressing accident occurred at the
Delaware and Hudson companys
breaker at Jermyn yesterday. Shortly
after work had begun after dinner An
drew Lee n fourteen-year- old slate
picker, was discovered lying in one of
the chutes horribly cut and injured,
having in some way fallen into a small
conveyor used for elevating the coal.
Besides having large portion of his
scalp taken off his both collar bones
We're broken, left arm fractured in two
places, a deep cash in one of his legs.
his nose fractured and two severe
gashes in his face.
Although so horribly injured the boy
was conscious. He was taken to his
home in the company's ambulance and
attended by Drs I. S. Graves and M. j.
Shields. He never rallied from the
shock, however, and died a few min
utes before o'clock last night.
The cause of the accident is some
what of a mystery. The boy was em-
ployed in another part of the breaker
from where the accident occurred and
had no occasion to be near the con-
veyors. He has been working at the
breaker about a year. He is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Lee, ST., of the
East Side. Funeral arrangements have
not yet been made.
