Fog Plants Virtues.

W Fog fruit is the old name of a re.
markable plant that is being distributed
throughout the west through the enthu-
siastic agency of the Arizona expert
ment station. This plant may have
taken its name from the fact that It
can exist with the minimum amount
Of moisture. In any event this charac-
teristic constitutes its chief value. 1t is
not advocated as a forage plant, as an.
imals do not like it, but it's drought re-
sisting qualities and endurance render
1t of exceptional value in the semiarid
western states as a soil binder. During
the summer of last year a growth of
fog fruit successfully maintained itself
on an Arizona mesa for eight months
with less than two inches of rainfall.
AS a lawn plant, where the usual grass
es can only be grown with great diff
Guilty, the fog fruit is a very desirable
substitute. 1t maintains a compact
mass of green foliage interspersed with
small purple and white flowers, giving
it the general appearance of a clover
constant applications Of the lawn NOW
er to keep it in presentable condition is
another valuable characteristic of the
plant. Chief Of all, however, are its
soil binding properties, and for prevent
ing the washing of reservoir and storm
water embankments in dry regions 1t
has no equal.-Philadelphia Record.

mission. she fired at him. Then, en-
tering the room, she fired point blank
at the actress, who received a severe

Great excitement Immediately pre-
vailed. The prince grasped his wife

not be quieted. She was hysterical

moved to her own apartments. The

hurt, will be banished.
