ocean can be reached from the land,
and that they can signal the shore.
The next move will be for the West

The REGISTER reprints from the
Salem Bulletin some interesting state
ments concerning the late Senatorial
primary in Dent county, hoping that
Mr.. Organ may successfully refute
them. The fight between Callahan
and Organ is very bitter, and prejudi-
cial views and statements may not be
unnatural from either side; yet Gala
han is so circumstantial in his account
that explicit denial and evidence is
necessary to successfully refute them.
If true, the conditions in our neigh
boring county are deplorable. Counter
charges alone will not avail.

In the Smithsonian institution al

a stuffed cat. A card tells why this
particular cat is known to fame, and
the story is as follows:
Many years ago while the Washing
ton monument was still in an unfinish-
ed condition an adventurous and pa
triotic cat assembled the interior of the
shaft by means of the ropes and scat
folding. When the workmen arrived
at the upper landing the next morning
and began to prepare for the days
work, the cat took fright and. spring
ing to the outer edge. took the leap of
100 feet to the hard earth below.
In the descent. which was watched
closely by twoscore Of men, the cat
spread herself out like flying squir-
rel, fell slowly and alighted as cats
always do. on all tours.
After turning over on the soil a few
times as if dazed she prepared to
leave the grounds. She had got al
most beyond the shadow of the monu-
ment when a dog belonging to one of
the workmen pounced upon her and
killed her. she Of course not being able
to run as fast as usual after perform.
ing such an extraordinary feat.
One of the men rescued the body of
the cat, smoothed out her silky coat

ton. who mounted the skin and placed
it under the glass case.

The pictures in America alleged to
have been painted by Corot number
several thousands. More Of these, it is
said, have been painted since his death
than during the lifetime of the master.
How such things can be was recent
ly learned in rather amusing way by
an American girl.
Adjoining her studio while she was
in Paris was one occupied by quiet
man, little known to the artists of the
neighborhood. but supposed to be one
Of their craft.
He was q diligent workman. From
early morning until dark he was in his
studio and yet no models ever came.
nor did he go on sketching tours.
One day the usual quiet of his studio
was broken by an alteration which
those in the next room could not help
hearing, as the voices grew louder. The
uncommunicative and diligent worker
was heard to say. II want my money"
Evidently the cash was not forthcom-
ing, for the artist shouted in louder
and angrier tones: II must have some
money. l have painted for you three
Millets, four Rousseaus and thirteen
Corots, and you have not paid me a
cent since you ordered them, three
weeks ago."

All the energies of the fungus plant
seem to be directed to the production
Of germs for propagating it's kind.
Their number is often almost incalcu-
liable. You have doubtless observed
that the common puff ball when ma
ture is filled with fine dust. and this
consists entirely of spores correspond
ing to seeds. which are, eventually diff
fused in the air by the bursting of the
puff ball. In single puff ball more
than 100000 of them have been
counted, and when these minute bod
les are once set afoat in the atmos-
phere they are distributed abroad over
an indefinite space, being SO small that
it is difficult to conceive Of a place
from which they could be excluded.
Their astonishing fertility and rapidity
of growth are among the most remark
able characteristics of this vegetable
tribe.

Virus and Venom.


The difference between venom and a
virus is very marked. Both are poi
sons and both of organic origin, but a
venom is produced in secreting organs.
commonly called poison glands, and is
introduced into the system by means
especially adapted for the purpose,
such as stings or fangs. On the other
hand. virus is the result Of disease or
putrefaction and generally possesses
the property of exciting in the system
into which 1t is introduced the disease
which produced the virus. A virus
commonly produces little If any local
disturbance. A venom generally causes
great pain. often severe Inflammation
and swelling. Venom has marked To-
cal effect. Virus causes general dis
