Al Curious Sense That Plants Have
Francis Darwin, speaking before
the members Of the British associa
ton at Glasgow, said that pine
tree grows straight upward because
it possesses a graVitation sense A
plant which grows in a curve in or
der to assume the position best suit
ed to its needs also exhibits a per-
ception Of gfavitation. Some flower
stalks are very euriously guided BY
the gravitation sense The commons
narcissus is an example. At first
there is a straight shaft piercing the
ground with its compact pointed
flower bud. But as the flower opens
the stalk bends close to the top and
brings the flower tube into a rough
" horizontal position, where it
shows of its brightly colored CROWN
to the insects that visit it, The
flowers are guided to the right posi-
ton by the gravitation sense, and
they increase or diminish the an
gular bend IN their stalk till the
right position is attained. Z

The local whist champions went
down and trimmed up the Benson
team by very close margin last
Saturday night. The two teams are
well matched as seen bV the score
which was a victory for Morris, but
with only to points to the good. One
set played tie, and the others claim
the honor of winning the game by
their gain Of two points. Those who
went from here speak very highly of
the hospitality shown them by the
people of Benson in general and
especially the members of the
Commercial Cub who entertained
them during the afternoon.

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
Vast Difference In the Number of Men
Required to Handle Them.

3
The number Of men required to
man naval guns Of the British,
French, German and American ma
syies is about the same, though the
French are understood to have more
men as rule for some Of the larger
guns.
For the four inch and five inch all
services require four men to work
each piece, for the six inch six men
are needed and for the ten, twelve
and thirteen inch the same number.
As nearly all our eight, ten,
twelve and thirteen inch guns are
used in pairs and mounted in tur-
rets, the twelve men working them
are protected by heavy plates Of
steel. For the little one Founders
three men are necessary to work
them rapidly, and for the three
Founders and SIX Founders four
men are assigned and for the Hotch-
kiss three men.
Treble the number of men seem
to be required to Wssrk the same
caliber Of guns in our coast defense
system, although there is no special
reason for this, unless it be due to
the fact, that the army guns are
mounted on disappearing carriages
and are not provided with turrets,
which naturally limits the space Of
the operators. An army eight inch
gun takes eighteen men and a twelve
inch gun calls for twenty-one men.
# will be seen, therefore, that q
thirteen inch naval gun is operated
by six men, while an army gun Of
one inch less caliber calls for twen-
ty-one men. The navy gun can be
fred just as rapidly with its six men
as the army gun can be fred with its
larger number Boston Herald.

were pleased with the show, while
others who had seen performances OF

satisfied. Mr.. Brown is one of the
best mind readers, however, who ever
visited the city. His experiments

so there was no chance of his taking,
and everyone was convinced that he
was mind reader of rare ability.

: Bowling seems to be the rage
drought the state. Match games
are prevalent in ali the small towns
except Morris-and the country
papers always have a column de-
voted to the game. But in our town
it's all whist, and if a man doesn't
"'set in" when there is a game in sight
whether it be morning, noon OR night
there must be something wrong.

paper
One that exce1s in Northwest news;
One that spares no pains to get the news

One whose commercial and financial
news and market reports are admitted
to be the best;
Onethat is fearless and fair in it's editor
ial discussion of live topics
but independent.
One that contains Bart's cartoons, the
Journan Junior-a weekly paper for child
rem without extra cost-Jermane's daily
Washington correspondence, and many
other notable features peculiar to that
paper.
There is only one thing to do and that is
to subscre for
