"THE HEIR PRESUMPTIvE." ="
A Term That Is Too Loosely Employed
Its Proper Meaning.

Mostpeople have got the technique
of things dynastic at their fingers
ends this year. Nevertheless, says
the London Chronicle, our old friend,
the heir presumptive, has sagain made
his incorrect appearance, this time in
the current number Of the leading il
lustratedpaper. The oldestson Of the
prince of Wales is thus called in the
underline of a first-page illustration.
The prince in question is nobody's
heir presumptive: if his heredity is
to be mentioned at all, he must be
called the heir apparent of the
heir apparent. An heir pre-
sumptive is heir pending the possible
birth of an heir in the direct line.
There is only one person more gen.
orally misunderstood than the heir
presumptive, and that is the morgan
attic wife. This irreproachable lady
is generally alluded to by English
journalists as though her title were
a euphemism for some name of much
more common kind, and as though an
alliance with her were not exclusive.

MILLIONS OF BUFFALO.
Killed for Their Skins on the West ern
Prairies in the Early Days.

In the forties, says Outing, when
the American Fur company was in
the heydey of its power, there were
sent from st. Louis alone in single
year 100000 robes; and the company
bought only the perfect ones. The
hunter usually kept an ample supply
for his own needs, so that for every
robe bought by the company three
times as many were taken from the
plains. st. Louis was only one port
of shipment. Equal quantities Of
robes were being sent from Mack
inaw, Detroit, Montreal and Hudson
bay. A million would not cover the
number Of robes sent east each year
in the forties. In 1868 1nman, Sher-
idan and Custer rode continuously
for three days through one herd in
the Arkansas region; and in 1869
trains on the Kansas Pacific were
held from nine in the morning until
six at night to permit the passage Of
one herd across the tracks. Army
officers relate that in 1862 a herd
that covered an area Of 70 by 80 miles
moved north from the Arkansas to
the Yellowstone. Catlin and Inman
and army men and employees Of the
fur companies considered a drove Of
100000 butfaloes a common sight
along the line Of the Santa Fc trail.
lnman computes that from st. Louis
alone the bones of 100000 buff
faloes were shipped between 1868
and 1881. .-... ..'...

THE THUNDER FLOWER.
IA Curious Case Of Science Perpetuating
an Interesting Legend.

Science, as everyone knows, isvery
often the interpreter of legend, al
most as it is the destroyer OF myth
and superstition. A notable in
stance of this happy fate, says the
London Globe, has just been discov-
cred by the Garden in relation to that
humble and familiar wildfower, the
stonecrop (sedum tectorum), a flower
which is known in the lake district as
the thunder flower, in Belgium as
dunderbloom, and at Arras as fieur
de tonnerre. In the pages OF the
pharmaceutical journal our con-
temporary has,discovered the follow
ing interesting explanation OF this
extraordinary name. Two pharna-
cists, it is related, were once walking
together when they stopped to adj
mire fine profusion OF the stone
crop on the roof and outbuildings Of
primitive farmhouse. The tenant,
an aged but hale and hearty lady, in
formed the men of science that a
building was protected from thun-
derstorms by the stonecrop, and told
how that very house was saved by its
intervention. .sIn my grandfather's
time," she said, thelightning struck
the roof and burned the thunder
flowerall to q jelly; but the.house was
saved and that is why it is called
thunder flower" Tn defense Of this
pleasing theory, which sounds 50
very like legend, the Garden points
out that the stonecrop is very prob
ably a natural lightning conductor,
seeing that it is succulent and full Of
water. And another authority adds:
"There is no reason in life why the
explanation should not be correct. "
The ubiquity of the name certainly
adds weight to the theory, and justi-
fes a decisive scientific opinion on
the matter. ~ >=@ T..

SOUL OF THE FLOWER.
Curious Observation Of Prominent Man
ufacturer Of Perfumes.

uldSt AA VI VI = I
One Of the principal manufacture
ers of perfumes in the world has de-
clared that he is quite certain that
flowers actually possess souls, says
the Toledo Times. The fragrance OF
a flower is really its soul, and it ex-
lists when the flower itself has per-
ished. This he maintains, is not
poetical fancy, but an established
fact. Certainly the fragrance OF a
flower is not dead thing. This
seems to be curious statement to
make, but it is a fact that when GER
tain conditions are fulfilled part Of
the life Of a flower never seems to
die. Although the fragrance of
flowers dead years ago may have un-
dergone all sorts Of manufacturing
processes to extract it and to fix it,
vet it never dies. When the flowers
of the kind it was extracted from
bloom it exhibits marvellous sym
pathy.
Take, as an example, the case of
ionquils. At the end of the year the
smell Of the perfume is constant, but
in the spring change appears. In
May, when the jonquils are in full
flower, the colorless liquid has it's
scent exalted to a surprisingly high
degree. When the flowers are in
bloom, the bottled essence is very
perceptibly stronger in odor. AS the
flowers droop, SO does the perfume
lose its potency in strict agreement.
This mysterious sympathy between
flower and essence never dies, but
ever responds to the proper seasons.
There is room for reflection in the
thought that every scent bottle
holds the souls of hundreds upon
hundreds of flowers. An 80-ounce
vase will hold the souls of seven tons
of roses. ...
