How New Plants Are Produced.

New light has recently been thrown
on the questions Of variation and Of
evolution BY the immensely important
experiments Of Hugo de Vries, Of Am
sterdam. Noone can see his expert
mental garden, as ! have had the OPP
~portunity Of doing, without being
greatly impressed, for here on all sides
are new species that have suddenly APP
peared, fully equipped, from a known
original parent form, living now side
By side with its group Of descendants.
De Vries found at Silversum, not
far from Amsterdam, a number Of
plants of the evening primrose lGR0-
thera Lomqrekianal an introduced
American plant, that had presumably
escaped from cultivation, and had be-
gun TO vary to an extraordinary de-
gree. Amongst the new form de
Vries found two wells haracterlzed
types, which he recognized as new
species. These two kinds, as well as
the supposed parent form, o. iamarck-
lana, be transplanted to his expert
mental garden, where the flowers Of
each were %artificially self-fertilized,
and the seeds planted the next year.
From these seeds he obtained in the
following year a number OF new spe-
cies. No less than seven new forms,
for example, appeared amongst the
plants reared from the seeds Of o. Ia
mardkiano. The majority Of the seeds
had produced plants like the parent
form, but amongst these there were a
number OF individuals Of the new spe-
cies. The most important result is
that obtained by rearing plants from
self-fertilized seeds Of these new spe-
cies. 1t was found that they breed
true TO their kind and fulfil Ia this
respect one OF the most important re-
quirements Of good species. 1t is
true that de Vries prefers to speak Of
the new forms as small species, rsther
than species as ordinarily underwood,
in which the differences are more ex-
IRENE; but there are many cases of
groups Of smaller species, recognized
by botanists, that are similar in all
respects TO those whose spontaneous
de Vries has seen. The impor-
tant fact, from the point of view Of
the theory Of evolution, is that the
have sprung full-armed from

There are some curious funeral
superstitions in Jamaica.
Hearses are unknown in the country
districts, and the coffin has to be borne
to the grave on the shoulders of the
mourners. The negroes gravely as
sert that only with the greatest diff
Guilty can they persuade the corpse
to pass places with which it was we'll
acquainted in life. and if the coffin
strikes against a tree on the way to
the grave something dreadful is sure
to happen.
Hesketh Bell, a well-known West
Indian official, tells good story on
this head. A negress had died rather
suddenly, and, according to custom
she was fastened down in her coffin
with all possible speed. Funerals in
the West Indies usually take place
few hours after death On the way
to the cemetery the coffin struck
against a tree, and Immediately after
wards the bearers were Mortified to
hear the supposed corpse humping al
the lid. They opened the coffin, and
the woman was found to be alive and
just regaining consciousness. She
was taken out and returned to the

the money they bring in is absolutely
necessary to buy what food the forest
will not supply, there are times when
the contractors go wild because the
Indians refuse to work and the supply
is held up.
In the hunting season there is great
demand for Micmac guides in Maine,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
Labrador, and there are some really
famous guides among them.
There died not long since in the
Ferris Hill village a very old chief
who was widely known throughout
Canada for his part in the Indian wars.
He had been a comrade with Sir John
Darlington, the last English baronet
IN Canada. Darlington was man
who thoroughly despised his provin
cial neighbors, and had horse which
he would ride through the streets and
that was trained TO kick whenever his
master gave the signal. If the old bar
onet was in particular nasty humor
he would back the horse up to the
house door, let him kick it in, and
then toss the owner of the house a
gold piece and ride away.
The old baronet's greatest pleasure
was to drive to the Ferris Hill camp
and seek the old chiefs wigwam
There the two would shut themselves
away from the world, smoke Indian
pipes, talk in Micmac over the times
that were gone, and fight over their
battles till sunset Then the old bar.
onet would depart, escorted by the
tribe to the edge of the wood.

HoU Mrs. Maxim Plays
U,ifh Explosives

Not many brave men would care to
poach eggs over smokeless powder,
hammer nails with nitro-gelatin, make
tea over cake of yellow Maximite,
hang out gun-eotton to dry aud cap
fuses with illuminate of mercury.
These are a few of the risky
stunts" which a plucky young Eng
lish girl does in the drawing-room Of
her home in Brooklyn. She is the
wife of Hudson Maxim, the we'll
known inventor, and she has helped
her husband in his laboratory work
since he lost his left hand in an explo-
sion of illuminate of mercury, one of
the most deadly of all explosives.
Maximite cartridges are filled by
forcing the illuminate into the fuses
with a two thousand pound pressure
and screwing in the caps The danger
lies not in the high pressure on the
explosive, for no pressure can set it
off, but in any possible friction. One
tiny grain of powder overlooked and
left in the mouth of the fuse, so that
the end of the cap would CRATE upon
it, would blow the experimenters to
bits.
"Do you always help Mr.. Maxim to
fill these fuses" Mrs. Maxim was
asked.
YES she replied. you see, he
cannot manage them with one hand"
But aren't you afraid when il
comes to the eap-screwing parti"

the young wife, "but il is easier to
help out here in the laboratory, no
matter how dangerous, than to wait
in the house--listeningp

Queer Name for

"The Guiid of the Brave Poor

by a company of English charity
workers, whose womanly efforts are
being directed toward the ameliora-
ton of the condition of cripples,
young and old.
The guild has recently acquired
country holiday home at North Com
mon, Chailey, Sussex. Ii is called
The Heritage, and was formally
opened in June by the Duchess OF
Bedford. The home is picturesquely
situated and will accommodate fifty
guild members-men, women and chill
dren-some of whom will become per-
manent residents and others will be
taken from the various branches of
the guild for short vacation periods.
AS soon as may be, it is intended 10
start a school of arts and crafts for
the crippled and deformed inmates.
and the work will be sold for their
benefit.

and gets drunk without dividing with
her. In latter years all the Micmacs
have come to respect her authority,
and she guides their destinies in all
inter-tribal matters.
In the market place around the
postoffice at Halifax summer MORN
ing will find scores of these Indians
squatted on the pavement with ber-
ries, baskets, roots and tow bows and
arrows to sell. In winter they bring
hockey clubs, snowshoes, evergreens,
ETC., and, winter or summer, rain or
shine, cluster in the unsheltered
square around the postoffice.
Some years since the city of Halifax
built handsome and spacious market
house directly across from the post
office and opened it free to the coun-
try people who came to market. The
Indians absolutely refused to leave the
spot where they had sold their wares
as long as they could remember, and
the white hucksters, fearing loss OF
business if they entered the market
house and the Indians did not, also
stayed in their old stands. The city

On the Bay of Fundy near the Basin
of MinaS there are several villages of
Micmacs, who, several years ago, were
supposed to be particularly favored.
The villagers took up a number of
farms, under government help, and
seemed to be turning to agriculture at
last. A number of the most promising
young men were given education in
Osgood Hall at Toronto and at
Queens University at Kingston, while
a few went to Pine Hill Seminary in
Halifax. Most of them were duly
graduated. Two or three were or
dained in the Church of England, and
some became clergymen in the Pres
byterian Church.
Of all that promising galaxy, only
two or three are left, and they are
merely missionaries. The others have
all gone back to the wilds, to tramp
like encampments and irresponsible
existence. That is, all but two, and they
are in prison, one for killing a man
and running away with his wife, the
other for stealing a fund that belong
ed to a church of which he was in
charge
