THE WEATHER PLANT.
More Exact Than barometer and
Beats the Predictions of the
Signal Service.

Instead of a barometer provide your
self with weather plant. 1t is far
prettier and will be possession of un
usual interest, inasmuch as it is among
the most curious and mysterious of
plants.
Botanists know the weather plant as
the "Abrus Precatorius." 1t thrives
well in this country, although it is an
exotic and held in great veneration by
the natives of India, who claim that
the state of the weather may be told
some time in advance by the position
the leaves assume.
This theory is held by the WELL
known botanists and is within the
bounds of reason, because the atmo-
sphere unquestionably affects the
leaves and flowers of plants and
shrubs and to close observer may in
dicate impending weather changes.
The weather plant is also known
as the prayer Bean" and "Crab's-Eye
Vine" The flowers are beautifully
shaped and of a pleasing shade of
lavender The plant is remarkable for
it's small egg-shaped seeds, which are
of brilliant scarlet with black spots.
Owing to the hardness of the seeds
they are used for necklaces and other
ornamental purposes, and under the
name of "Rati" are employed in some
parts of India as the standard OF
weight. 1t is matter of record that
the weight of the celebrated Kohl
moor diamond was first determined by
the aid of the seeds of this peculiar
plant.
The scientific name of the weather
plant (Precatorius), meaning prayer,
probably arose from the fact that the
seeds are used for rosaries by the
Buddhists.
To grow the plants the seeds must
be thoroughly soaked in lukewarm
water before sowing. and the pot
placed in sunny window; after al
danger of frost is over the plants may
be set out in any warm location in the
garden.-N. Y. World.

INVENTOR OF BICYCLE.
Baron Drais, n German Noblcmnn,
Invested with This Title by
European Historians.

Just so years ago there died in
Heidelberg, Germany, Baron Karl Won
Drais, who was, the Germans claim, the
inventor of the bicycle. The anniver-
sary of this event was not celebrated
with pomp even in his native city,
though by his invention he founded one
of the most important of modern in
dustries. Though in America the BIZ
cycle is not as much the rage as it was
some years ago, it is finding increasing
favor on the European continent and
in the vast oriental countries, most of
the best makes being manufactured in
the United States, where last year the
industry made a record.
The machine invented by Won Drais
was, of course, of an extremely prim-
tive character. 1t was almost entirely
of hard wood, the riders seat being ad-
justed to clumsy long narrow board,

END OF A NOTED CASE
Nicely Is Convicted of the Cuban
Postal Frauds.
Rnthbone and Reeves Share His
Fatc-Ench Is Sentenced to Ten
Henrs' Imprisonment and
Heavily Fined.

Havana, March 25.-The trials be-
fore the audencia court of the cases
arising from the embezzlement of
Cuban postal funds have resulted in
the following sentences: c. f. w.
Neely, ten years imprisonment and
to pay a fine of $56,701; w. IL. Reeves,
ten years Imprisonment and to pay
a fine of $35,516; Estes G. Rathbone,
ten years. Imprisonment and to pay
a fine of $35,324.
Neely was accused of being in his
cash account $119,27s short and in his
general account $3O,6OO short, while
he was charged with selling $100,s13
worth of surcharged Cuban stamps
which he claimed to have destroyed.
Rathbone was accused of converting
to his own use money belonging to
the revenues of the Cuban postal de-
partment. Reeves was also charged
with sharing in the division of the
spoils. Il. G.. Bathbone was made di-
rector general of Cuban posts on De-
cember 2S, 1898, at the beginning of
American administration. He was
fourth assistant postmaster general
III
ment, and a capable man. During the
trial it was brought out that cam
paiyn was on foot for the appoint
ment of Rathbone as civil governor
of Cuba, while Neely was to be named
as treasurer and Reeves auditor.
Reeves turned states evidence at the
trial, and it was largely by his testi-
mony that all three were convicted.
From the evidence submitted at the
trial it seems that the beginning of
the fraud was in the destruction of the
surcharged stamps. When the United
States assumed control of the Cuban
government there were no postage
stamps. United States stamps, with
the word "Cuba" printed across them,
were hurried to Havana, and it was not
until the fall of 1899 that Cuban stamps
of special design were issued. Then
Neely suggested to Rathbone that il
would be cheaper to burn the old stock
of stamps on hand than to ship them
TO Washington. Rathbone consented,
and Nicely and Reeves, with much os-
tentation and at different times,
burned packages containing more
than half million dollars worth of
stamps. Neely was then credited on
his books with the amount. lnvestiga-
tion later disclosed the fact that he
had "held out" $1OO,Sl3 worth of
stamps, thus enabling himself to pock-
ct that much from the Cuban revenues
and still keep his books balanced.
,Rathbone and Reeves shared in the di-
- al Il
were worked, including duplicated sal
airy warrants. Funds were juggled in
transfer from one division to another.

Origin of Precious Ores.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, below
the reach of miners, but according to
the statements of Prof. c. r. Van Hise,
at the Denver meeting of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science, there is little or no ground
to believe that valuable metallic de-
posits lie very deep in the earth's crust.
Such deposits, he said, are made by
underground waters, and owing to the
pressure on the rocks at great depths,
the waters are confined to shell near
the surface. With few exceptions, ore
deposits become too lean to repay
working below 5000 feet. Nine mines
in ten, taking the world as whole,
are poorer in the second thousand feet
than in the first thousand, and poorer
yet in the third thousand than in the
second.

remperature of the Sun.

Few persons have any conception of
the tremendous degree of heat repre-
sented in the sun, just as they are ig-
norant, as rule, that it is hydrogen
gas that, blazing in the sun, keeps the
universe of life existent. An astron-
omer has just given some interesting
details respecting the temperature of
the sun. He asserts that the mean
temperature is about $500 degrees
neutrality-suspicious. 11,2Oo de-
grees Fahrenheit. OF such degree OF
heat one can form no adequate con-
ception. OF the total heat the earth
receives, of course. only very small
proportion. The rest belongs to space
and is shared by other worlds than
this.

CONTROL OF CUBA.
Island to be Turned Over 10 Cubans
on May 20.

Washington, March 26.--Secretary
Root yesterday made public his order
to Gen. Wood directing him to turn
over the control of the government of
Cuba to its people on May 20 next.
The order requires the Cuban govern
ment to assume all treaty obligations
and directs Gen. Wood to continue n
small artillery force to avoid leaving
the island entirely defenseless until
the Cuban government shall organize
its own force. Gen. Wood also is di-
rected to convene the Cuban con-
gress before May 90 He also is di-
rected to consult with President-rlect
Palma and substitute such persons as
he shall desire for those now holding
official positions in Cuba.
All of the American troops except
500 men of the coast artillery are to
be brought to the United States as
rapidly as transportation facilities
will permit, between now and May 20.
The retention of these artillerymen
is for the purpose of caring for the
three batteries of coast artillery.
The order also directs the discon-
tinuance of the entire military de-
partment of Cuba and places the tor
ritory to be temporarily retained by
| the United States in the Department
of the East, commanded by Maj
| Gen. Brooke.
This government is anxious to
maintain the big $1,oOO,OOO dry docl;
at Havana; to establish and maintain
one or two naval stations; to con
tinue the system of weather stations

don't desist and do it right quick, their
heads will be cracked in good fashion.
