RESURRECTION PLANTS.
Some Come to Life and Others On1
Seem to Do So.

Some Come to Life and Others Only
| Seem to Do So.
There are plants which, when dried
and apparently dead, take on the form
of life again when they are soaked in
water. There are two kinds of revival
one real, the other apparent. A writer
| in La Science Illustree says that return
| to life either in a complete form or in
part, is quite frequent in the vegetable
world, where the influence and dryness
Is more marked than among animals.
One naturalist has taken fine raisins,
of the variety known as Imperial
| Malaga, and planted the stem in moist
earth. This stem, four inches long, in
three months had a shoot of three addi-
tional inches.
The plant best known for its renew
This is not really rose at all, but be-
longs to the Cruciferae or mustard fam
lily; and its little white flowers recall
those of the ''shepherd's purse" SO COM
man along country roadsides.
1t grows in the sandy deserts of Ara
bia, Egypt and Syria. When the plant
becomes dry its stems curl up, draw
together, and form a rounded knot. The
wind easily uproots the thing and car
ries it away, but if it is deposited in a
damp spot it apparently comes to life.
1t was once thought that it absorbed
water from the soil, took root and be-
gan to grow again. In reality, how
ever, this never happens. The Rose
of Jericho is lifeless from the moment
when it is uprooted. 1t is simply a
dead plant which has changed from
the absorption of water.
The dried plant furnishes very in
teresting change when it is plunged
into water. In an hour it doubles in
size, the stems begin to rise, and the
capsules take on a pinkish tinge. 1t
seems to be reviving, but this is a vain
show. 1t is among those plants in
which the resurrection is apparent, not
real.
The movements of such plants are
really like those of the scales on a pine
cone. which open or draw together as
the air is more or less dry.
Real resurrection, however, is seen
among certain ferns and MOSES.

THE MINING OUTLOOK.

1t is the concensus of opinion of
observant mining men that mining
produces larger per centage Of sue
cessful enterprises than any other
business. If dealt in along bust
ness lines aud according to the same
rules OF fair dealing necessary
to success in any other business It
will record less per cent Of fail
ures than other lines of enterprise.
The success or failure OF mining
should not be judged by the fact
that men sometimes risk and lose.
The man who takes a "flyer, I" that
is, puts few hundred dollars into
a proposition without enquiring
into the competency Of the property,
or OF the. men who pretend to man.
age the undertaking, is not mining.
The man who invests in that way is
not pursuing ordinary business
methods, and if he loses, the failure
is the result Of his own imprudence.
Some of the greatest fortunes in
the country have been made by
legitimate mining, and out Of prop
critics that other men could not work
successfully; the latter failed be-
cause OF their own incompetency as
business managers. Science, now
days, is coming to the assistance Of
men whose business it is to operate
mining plants. Ores that a few
years ago could not be treated at
all, can now be treated at a profit.
This one condition has turned the
attention Of many capitalists to
mining as q field for enterprise,
and when q promoter demonstrates
that he has the business capacity
to handle a proposition, and the
honesty to give his customers a
square deal, the chances are more
than ten to one that he will make .
fortune for himself and for those
who bought shares in his enterprise.
The man who goes about mining
enterprises understandingly has no
more chances of loss than those who
