VEGETABLES HAVE BRAINS.
Actions of Their Small II cotz Make
Them Appear to lie Capable
of Thinking.

The tiny roots of vegetables, In their
work of piercing n path through the
soil to the surface and the light, act in
u manner which tends to show that
they are capable of thinking. If Il
stone lie in their upward path, they
turn aside without touching it, and
make a path parallel with the obstacle,
and if there is n worm burrow near by
they will turn aside and make use OF
the excavation which is to make their
task the more easy. II they do not
think, how do they discover the unseen
obstacle and the equally invisible aid?
There must be certain indications OF
the presence of both, and these indica-
tions act upon some strange form OF
mental organism, says u scientific ex-
change.
There are vegetables whose roots
move from one place to another, and
plants which do the same above
ground. Place some poisonous sub
stance directly i'll their way, and they
will take a different direction to avoid
it, but if something nour!shing rs set
on one side, they will go round after
that.
There are plants that eat meat.
Place some flesh on the leaves and
the latter gradually fold round 1t and
assmiate tin plain words, eat 1t.
An experiment tried with the droseras
was to tie a fly near the stalk Of one Of
these plants, about an inch away from
the juncture OF the leaf to the stalk.
In short time the leaf began to bend
toward the fly, and in an hour 1t was
curling round Its prey.

PLANTING EYEBROWS.
An Operation That Is Frequently
Performed by Professors of
the Art In China.

Chinese physiognomists say the eye
brows and whiskers of a man are just
as essential in their relations to his
success in life as his other quaEtica-
tions. If the eyebrows are feeble or
the whiskers are sickly, his luck will
be thin and his health poor. There
fore, to stop the train Of bad luck which
nature has unfortunately ordained
for such man he orders his eyebrows
changed or replanted by hair-plant-
ing pro fessor, says the New York Mail
and Express.
This is done by first pulling out the
rebellious or unlucky hairs in the eye
brows. The next operation is to Sc
lect spot of hair on the neck of the
patient or behind his ears, that would
suit for a fine eyebrow, and reduce
these hairs to the right length.
A pair of sharp pinchers is picked up
with the left hand, and, selecting u
suitable sized hair, the operator jerks
it out by the root, and with a needle
like instrument in the right hand he
pierces q minute hole in the skin Of
the bald eyebrow in slanting direc-
ton. and while the point of the instru-
ment is on the edge of the hole, the
root of the pulled-up hair is careful
ly inserted. But If blood oozes out Of
1t before the hair is planted, the hole
will not be used on that day for fear
Of inflammation and not sufficient nu-
trjment for the hair to take proper
root. The operation is repeated until
every hair i'll the eyebrows is re-
placed.
The patient is said to experience
pain In the eyebrows for about "a
hours, after which he is all right The
professor charges more for planting
eyebrows than whiskers, because of
the many varied degrees of slanting
each hair to make the eyebrows look
natural to the man or to suit the ideas
of the physiognomist.

FACTS ABOUT VOLCANOES.
Ring of Subterranean Fire Sur
rounds the Pacific Ocean,
Says This A account.

Ages ago the earth on which we live
was u huge mass of fire mist" AS
tronomers tell us that to-day in the
heavens we can see vast nebulae, sug-
costing what the earth was once.
Gradually the surface of the fire
mist" cooled and hardened, but the in
terror is still intensely hot. Wheth er
it is solid, liquid or yiscous we do not
know. This heat, raging miles below
the surface, at times escapes through
the hard crust by vents or volcanoes,
says the National Geographical Maga-
zine.
There are from 300 to 800 volca noes
on the globe. This estimate includes
merely live volcanoes which within re-
cent times have been in action. If we
should count the many mountains
scattered over the earth which show
to-day signs of volcanic alton in more
remote past the estimate would have
TO be increased by many hundreds. .
Volcanoes would seem to be an
ranged with more or less symmetry
in belts circling the great oceans. A
ring of fire surrounds the Pacific.
Starting at the South Shetland islands,
several hundred miles south Of Cape
Horn, a belt of volcanoes extends up
the west coast of South America, Cen
trail America and North America ;
from Alaska II crosses the Pacific
along the Aleutian islands, to Kam-
chatka; thence 1t follows the east
edge Of the Pacific through the Kurile
islands, Japan, Tormosa, the Philip
pines, the Moluccas, the Solomon is
lands, the North Hebrides, New Zea-
land, and finally ends In Mounts Ter
ror and Erebus, on the Antarctic con-
tinent.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Rome, though the capital of Italy,
is not the largest city. 1t has only
1890 people, while Milan has 400
900, and Naples nearly 100000.
According to the year book of the
Swiss Alpine club, 21s tourists, 70
guides and IA porters were killed by
accidents in the decade ending 1900.
Great Britain now produces 800
pounds of grain for each head of her
population. The North American
output is 22,22s pounds for each in
habitant.
Lake Baikal, in Siberia, seems to
be the deepest lake in the world. 1t
is $500 feet deep, it's surface being
1850 feet above the sea-level, and
bottom some 5000 feet below.

END OF THE HUMAN RACE.
Rapidly Consuming the Oxygen
of Our Atmosphere,

In the wise economy of nature it is
so ordered that all vegetable life puri-
fies the air for animal life, and vice
versa. Animals consume oxygen and
exhale carbonic acid, while vege tation
absorbs carbonic acid, robbing 1t of it's
carbon and setting the oxygen free.
The original atmosphere of the earth
before animal life existed consisted
essentially OF nitrogen and carbonic
acid, says Woman's Home Companion.
Our supply of atmospheric oxygen has
been furnished by the great forests of
vegetation, such as the coal-ferns,
which covered the earth in the car
boniferous age, when the coal-beds
were formed The same conditions,
only on a smaller scale. continue to
prevail; but it is not likely that the
oxygen given out by present vegeta-
ton is, or will be, sufficient to keep
pace with its enormously increasing
consumption by man. Lord Kelvin has
estimated that if the present consump-
tion of coal in human industries con-
tinues with anything like its present
ratio of increase, the great coal4meas-
ures will be exhausted, and the oxygen
of our atmosphere practically con
sumed by its combustion, within the
next four or five centuries. This is
the most likely, perhaps, of all posi-
bic calamties to generally affect the
human race, and it more directly con-
Germs us at the present time, from our
realization that we are extravagantly
wasting the breath of life of those who
are soon to follow.

The Colt Was TOO Lively.

Stories of Abraham Lincoln never
seem to lose their charm. The latest
anecdote tells of how Mr.. Lincoln,
when, he lived in Springfield, was seen
coming away from church unusually
early one Sunday morning. The SER
mon could not have been more than
half way through. His son "Tad" was
slung across his lett arm like pair Of
saddle bags, and Lincoln was striding
along with long and deliberate steps
toward his home. On one of the street
corners he encountered "a group of his
fellow townsmen. Lincoln antici-
pated the question which was about to
be put by the group, and, taking his
figure of speech from practices with
which they were only too familiar,
said: "Gentlemen, entered this colt,
but he kicked around 30 l had TO with
draw him"
