THE OPEN-AIR CURE.

Fifteen Indiana consumptives have reported themselves or been reported to the Indianapolis News as intending to try the open-air cure this winter-to live and sleep out of doors. One of them, Robert r.. Davis of Derby, "MoV ed his bed out on his front porch (over- looking the Ohio river) Jan. and slept out during the coldest nights last winter" few are wing one-room frame cabins open on one side, built for them. Many who have been sleep ing out through the summer and fall are now moving indoors, but intend to leave their bedroom windows open.
 Never in the history of Indiana" says our contemporary, "were so many win dows left open at night as at present" With the living and sleeping out of doors goes Gin the "cure') prescribed programme of cold baths, diet, and eX- ercise. Davis of Derby-already men tioneu-has written to pr. J. N. Hurty of the state board of health that his cough was vanished, that his pulse is all right. that his nerves are in fine condition, that he considers himself now a we'll man, and that he thinks he'll never sleep indoors again.-Hart- ford Courant.

PLANT ELECTRICITY.

Long ago Sir J. Burdon Sanderson showed that electrical manifestations were capable of being demonstrated in the case of the movements of the fly catching plant of North Carolina, known as the Dionaea, or Venus fly trap" He deduced from his experi- ments a close analogy between the electrical reactions of the plant and those of muscle in animals. This ob servatioHs naturally leads toward the recognition of q common basis for the movement Of animal and plant life. says the London Chronicle. More re- gently experiments seem to indicate that such electrical response cTe pos sibly universal throughout the plant world. Bose has shown. for example. that in the case of tho leaf stalk of the horse chestnut or the loot Of the car rot or radish a current was noted in the stalk from Q part which had been injured to the uninjured portion. This corresponds with what is known to occur in experiments on animal tis- sues. When the stimulation ceased and the tissue regained its normal state q current of rest" was observed tC be established such as may be pre- sumed to exist in the naturad condition of the plant

Another sister was decent woman enough. and her husband was a wretch. His brother is denounced as the great est of scoundrels, and his concierge as the most eXecrable of villains. To his bad sister he left his poker and tongs. so that she could make as much noise as she liked. He also wrote that she could have his wine as she was bib ulous creature. The bulk of his prop erty M. Regis made over to the prefect of the Seine for city purposes. The net value of the estate is said to be f5721. There were bequests of ? francs for each poor person attending the funeral, sO that the testator was followed to the grave by $500 paupers. The will was posted in June, 1885. to NJ. Poubelle. then prefect of the Seine. who. devin ing the state of mind of the testator. hurried to his house, only to find Regis dead.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY
Snap Shots in a New Field-Decora-
 tion of Glass.

Submarine photography is not likely to become a popular pastime. But it is introducing to us unknown regions, and NJ. Louis Boutan, who began by investigating the animal life of the waters, has become an enthusiastic sea bottom camerist. Some of his re- markable photographs of submarine scenery have been recently published. He uses a hand camera. which is en- closed in a tight copper box having plate glass window, and is mounted on a cast iron tripod. Suitable mechanism is provided to expose and change the plates. The pressure of the water, in- conveniently great even at 20 or 90 feet, was an early difficulty. but this was counteracted by means of a rubber ball holding about gallon, from which air was forced through a tube into the box as the pressure increased. Light fades rapidly in sinking below the surface. daylight exposures being impracticable at a depth of 9 feet. Magnesium powder is burned in oxygen in a suitable glass globe, and by this powerful illumination instantaneous exposures are made with interesting re- suits.
 The biological stations of the New England coast have solved the problem of lobster culture Several thousand of the young fry are put into a cylin- drical scrim bag about three feet in diameter and four feet deep, and the water in the submerged bag is con- stanly agitated by a dasher drived by a gasoline engine. This prevents the fry from smOthering or devouring one another, at the same time keeping their food of soft clam fragments within reach. In nine to sixteen days from the eggs the creatures are able to take

NERVES IN PLANTS.

Most oi us regard the plant as a purely vegetable thing. living. but in- capable of responding. as does the an imal. to stimuli which affects the ner- vous system. This view is founded on q misconception of life's constitution at large. Plants live because they con- tain protoplasm. or living matter, and this matter. as regards sensitiveness at least. may be regarded as practically identical in the two great groups of living nature. Time was when the liV- ing matter of plants was regarded as being confined within cells, each of which was shut off from it's neighbors
 Now we know that delicate threads of living matter run from cell to cell. Hence 1t may be presumed says the London Chronicle, that when an inn pression is made upon the protoplasm of one part of the plant, it may be transmitted to distant parts Of the organism. Some plants-sensitive in their nature-show the results of stim- ulation by the dropping of leaves and like actions. But even in plants which do not exhibit such obvious results of stimulation We may postulate sensitive ness Accompanied by electrical reac- tions). although no outward sign of irritation is manifested. It is because plants have immovable tissues. so to speak. that they do not exhibit move mcnts as a rule. Yet when a daisy closes it's petals under the influence of a cold wave on summers day. we are surely in the region of a sentient life, manifested by actions not far removed from those in the animal. and specially from those of lower animal life. Wads- worth's idea that every flower enjoys the air it breathes." may. after all. be founded upon a scientific basis.

FOREIGN ILLITERAcY FALLACY.

Some people may be surprised 10 mo from a statement just issued from rne census office that there is less illiteracy in this country among the children of foreign-bo parents than among those of the native born. This statement rather gives q black eye to the "ignor ant foreigner conceit.
 Confning the comparison to children between the ages of ten and fourteen years in the United States as a whole, 95.6 per cent of the native white chil dTen oi native parents and 99.1 per cent of the native white children of foreign born parents are able to read and write. This difference in favor of the foreign born population is quite large ly due, however, to the geographical distribution of population. Great num- bers of the native born children live in the southern states. where education has made no such progress as in the north, and where about ten per cent of the children are illiterate.
 Yet. even leaving this out of account. the figures show that in every region. except the north Atlantic states. the literate children of immigrant whites are a larger per cent of the whole iinAiibti bA 6uNll tillAuitL llldI lUt lllEI- ate children of native whites are of all children of native whites. There is no reason to infer from the census figures that the children of illiterate immi- grants are constituting a permanent illiterate class in the population.
 It is fair to state, however, that the figures Of the census relate exclusively to immigrants who have been in the country long enough for their children born here to have reached the age of ten years. Whether among the chiI- dren of immigrants who have arrived since 1890 there is the same eagerness to acquire at least an elementary edu- cation. it is still too early to determine from census figures.
 We must not infer that because the poor immigrant has landed in this country ignorant he is going to have his children grow up in the same con- dition. Generally speaking. the immi- grant is so elated that education is free among us that he is the best pat ron of the public schools. Only in the south is he cut off from them. This fact offers the hest hope of the country when we see the hordes of immigrants that are now arriving.-Boston Globe.

CURIOUS FRENCH WILL CASE

An extremely strange will case was recently before the civil tribunal of the Seine. The testator, M. Regis. a shlrtmaker, wrote out his will disin- heriting his relatives in 1880. and he hanged himself five years later. The testament was drawn up after the shirtmaker had been to see "The Mis- anthrope" of Moliere at the Theater Francais, writes the Paris correspond ent of the London Telegraph He be- gan by giving ludicrous descriptions of his relatives. One of his sisters was described as having a thick rustic hide. and being a cunning woman, who had often extracted money from him.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.

iIlI| bEoI hEMED1 FOR GROUP. From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe)
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup IS in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle or the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup. as a revolver is to be lost in case or burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain Cough Remedy is better. and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re- lief in a shorter time. Give this rem edy as soon as the croupy cough ap- pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hulett druggists.

years was supposed to be incurable. For

cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and there
