A FAMILY OF coNsULs.
History of an Appointment Held ir England Since Washington's
 Time
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
 When Horatio Sprague. United states Consul at Gibraltar. died few months ago. it was announced that the Sprague family had been longer in the consular service than any other, but recent inves- tigatons prove that this distinction be- longs to the members of the celebrated house of Fox. who have continuously re- tained the consulship at Falmouth, Eng fand since the establishment of the United States Government.
 State Department records at Washing ton. D. C.. show that Robert W. Fox. the first consul, grandfather of the present incumbent, was appointed by George Washington, on May 30, h94. and that since then his descendants haze controlled the post at Falmouth against the pro- tests of politicians of both parties, who enter as their plea that the position is held by an Englishman. But sentiment and the fact that the original Fox was appointed by Washington have defeated the aim of office seekers. The holding of this consulship has always been a trust of honor with the Foxes since they are a wealthy family. and the office yields but $500 yearly.
 During the career of Robert Were Fox the first Consul. Falmouth was the port from which the mail packets sailed to all parts of the world. which lay to the west and south of the English channel. and was the scene of great hustle and interest Mir. Fox, while occupying this post, was engaged in extensive mercan- tile. mining ana nShlnR enterprises, ana by these laid the foundations of the for tune that has been handed down to his descendants. Many noted people were en- tertained at his home. and in 1928. few years after the death of Mir. Fox, his widow who was noted for her hospitality received the Queen of Portugal, who held A reception there.
 Robert Were Fox, Jr., appointed Con- sul in 1s15 devoted much time to the study of science. and made many discov- eriec In 1915 he proved that there was q real increase of temperature experienced in descending Cornish mines-a fact pre- viously asserted by the Saxon miners but long disputed by such men as Hum boldt and Arago. Among his many valu- able inventions was .ha dehector dipping needle. which has been used in every arctic and antarctic expedition since that time in determining the magnetic condi- tons of the different parts of the earth's s surface.
 President Lincoln appointed the third Consul. Alfred Fox. in 1863. This gentle man won the highest cnmmendation from the Government for, his efficiency and faithfulness during the late war The coast at Falmouth IS very dangerous. and often ships are wrecked there: MT. Fox did all in his power in rendering help to the 90 shipwrecked crews. ard for this was highly rewarded by the heads of the Hations.

Phenomenal Growth of Plant

The phenomena of plant growth are among the most beautiful in nature. Dr. Asa Gray of Harvard, tells us that many seeds refuse to germinate after the sec ond year; that some may be kept for considerable periods without losing their vitality; that sensitive plants have been grown from seeds known to be over sixty years old: but, talasD that stories of seeds growing that have been preserved 2.o00 or 5000 years in Egyptian mummfes "are not to be believed" I might he less willing to discredit myself on such excel lent scientific authority if the fragment of mummy from which l took the seed of my experiment had not come to me not unly we'll authenticated. but obviously genuine. Had it happened to pr. Gray to have had an experience like mine he would have considered the stories by which this apparent immortality of the wheat kernel Is attested not only cred
 ble, but extremely well authenticated

 Some recent experiments in growing red wheat from seed certainly 5000 and per- haps 4.000 years old have set me thinking about subject which just now engages the attention of every lover of nature. The seed mentioned was found inclosed in the cerements of mummy of the pc rtod of ths Twentieth Dynasty. Durina the long period since about l2SS B. C. this wheat had remained dry and to all appearance as dead as the Egyptian upon whose bosom 1t rested as an emblem of immortality. Each kefnel was as hard as grain of silica. That the germ Of life could remain so many centuries urs- duenched and ready to respond to the influences which quicken the fertile seed Into fruitful activity seemed impossible. However. I planted the grains. watered and tended them as I might the seed or
 ordinary nasturtiums. and. To! the tall stalk shot mp and in due course was crowned with a tassel of bronze grain. probably the wheat of the Chaldean pe- riod, where that cereal is indigenous. All this was not essentially more wonderful than the familiar phenomena of the spring season, when the seed which na- ture scatters about with so rrodizal a hand bursts the rot.ing envelope which tncloses the precious germ of life and reproduces after it's own kind. with only such variation as may reflect the imme- di te environment. One may sentiment aiize upon such happeninRs very cheaply but perhaps a more profitable employ ment of time would be found in sssum- ing the miracle and studying t.ie pro cesses by which 1t materfalizes.

A N K|NLEY TRIBUTE.



Inc president TOOK cnair beside the
prince, directly in front Of the speaker.
Senator Frye announced the purpose
of the gathering and introduced Secre-
tary of State John Hay, who delivered
the eulogy.
HAYS EULOGY.
In his address Secretary Hay cou-
lpled the names of our three murdered
presidents. He added
III ever men walked before God and
man without blame, it was these three
rulers of our people. The only tempta-
ton to attack their lives offered was
| their gentle radiance-to eyes hating
the light that was offense enough.
"Our beloved and revered leader is
gone, but the natural process of our
laws provides us a successor identical
| in purpose and Ideals, nourished by the
same teachings, inspired by the same
principles, pledged by tender affection
as well as by high loyalty to carry to
completion the immense task commit
ted to his hands and to smite with
iron severity every manifestation of
that hideous crime which his mild pre-
decessor with his dying breath for
gave
Secretary Hays eulogy was a mas
terful and exhaustive tribute. In clos
ing he said:
1.-THE obvious elements which enter
into the fame of a public man are few
and by no means reconcile. The man
who fills great station in a period Of
change, who leads his country success
fully through time of crisis, who by
his power Of persuading and control
ling others has been able to command
the best thought of his age so as to
leave his country in moral or materi-
al condition In advance of where he
found it, such mans position in his
tory is secure. If In addition to this
his written or spoken words possess
the subtle quality which carry them
far and lodge them in mems hearts
and, more than all, If his utterances
and actions, while informed with a
lofty morality, are yet Hinged with the
glow of human sympathy, the fame of
such a man will shine like a beacon
through the mists OF ages, an object Of
reverence, of imitation and of love. 1t
should be to us an occasion Of solemn
pride that in the three crises OF our
history such a man was not denied u.s.
1.-THE moral value to nation Of re-
nown such as Washington's and Lin
coins and McKinley's is beyond all
computation. No loftier ideal can be
held up to the emulation of ingenious
youth With such examples we cannot
be wholly ignoble. Grateful as we
may be for what we did, let us still be
more grateful for what they were.
While our daily being, our public poll
cies, still feel the influence of their
work let us pray that in our spirits
their lives may be voluble, calling us
upward and onward.
There is not one Of us but feels
prouder Of his native land because the
august figure of Washington presided
over its beginnings, no one but vows it
a tenderer love because Lincoln poured
out his blood for it, no one but must
feel his devotion for his country re-
newed and kindIed when he remembers
how Mckinley loved, revered ana serv-
ed it. showed in his life how a citizen
should live and in his last hour taught
us how gentleman could die

Az MOUNT VERNON.
Prince Henry Places Wreaths
on Washington's Tomb.
a LINDEN TREE is ALSO PLANTED.
After the Visit the Prince Rested at
the German Embassy and Later
Dined Informally With Press
ident Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. Prince
Henry journeyed to Mount Vernon yes
terday afternoon and placed two
wreaths in the tomb Of Washington.
He approached the grave of the first
president with barred head, and that
there might be nothing irreverent In
the ceremony he asked the holders Of a
dozen cameras who stood round to re-
frain from photographing him.
The royal visitor and his party were
taken to Mount Vernon by special
train over the Washington, Arlington
and Mount Vernon Electric railway.
The prince at the conclusion of the
memorial service at the capitol drove
directly to the special train. Two large
observation cars were provided and
from them the prince saw the Long
bridge and the headlands Of northern
Virginia, historic to Americans since
colonial days.
It was 2:30 o'clock when the special
departed, and the run to Mount Yer
non occupied fifty-fve inmates. Prince
Henry walked to the Washington home
and was driven from there down over
the slope of the hill to the tomb. When
the iron gate of the tomb was opened,
he removed his cap and entered Two
large wreaths made at Washington by
his order already had been sent to the
tomb, and, taking them up, he formal
~ set them in place. a group of more
than a hundred men that stood in the
approach to the grave uncovered, and
that, with their silence, added to the
spirit of solemnity.
Fifty feet down the sward that falls
away from the tomb Prince Henry
planted a linden tree The tree had
been set in place prior to his arrival,
and, taking a spade, the prince filed
the earth in around its roots. The
prince was taken to the old Washing
ton house by superintendent H. II.
Dodge and there met delegation of
the Mount Vernon Ladies' association
headed by Mrs. Justine Van Rensse-
laer Townsend of New York. He spent
a few minutes in looking at the Wash
ington relics and then departed for
Washington. Large crowds watched
his arrival and departure, and his
course through historic old Alexandria
was lined with people, who cheered
him cordially.
1t was 80 o'clock when Washington
was reached on the return trip, and
the prince was driven at once to the
German embassy.
Prince Henry, accompanied by EN-
bassador Won Holleben, dined at the
White House last night with President
and Mrs. Roosevelt. The dinner was
entirely unofficial and Of personal
family character, and, owing to Nc
Kinley exercises making this day one
of mourning. there were no formal
toasts or exchanges, the purpose being
TO permit more intimate personal ex-
change than was possible during the
formalities of official interchange last
Monday. Others present at the dinner
were General Won Plessen Of the
princes staff. Miss Roosevelt, Miss Ca
rev and Senator and Mrs. Lodge.
