Flowers aud POisOns.
NO. IS SECOND ST. E.

Ever since the days of that floral
abomination, the green carnation, we
have known that flowers are suscepti-
bic to the influence of drugs and can
be made to change their colOrs by prop
cr or. rather improper, treatment
This branch Of Horticulture has been
pursued further by inquiring people,
and it seems that plants are as liable
to the effects of poisons as are human
beings. If you give a flower too much
chlOrOform, it will net agree with it.
In the words of the operator. cit droops
and dies" 1t is difficult to see what is
the advantage of this particular study
Every one knows that flowers can be
killed far too easily. If some scientif-
ic person would find way of causing
them to bloom all the year round in
our climate, that would be something
Of discovery-less scientific, perhaps,
but much more acceptable. - London

A THRIFTY MAGNATE.

AS rule the capitalist with mill
ions pays but little attention to the
smaller details of business affairs,
for the mind that occupies itself
with the petty affairs of life is sell
dom broad enough to grasp and han
die the problems that are involved
in deals such as have been made by
j. p. Morgan and others, many of
them involving hundreds of millions
of dollars. A notable exception to
this rule. however, is to be found in
j. J. Hill of the Great Northern.
Mr.. Hill is justly looked upon as the
greatest railway magnate of his day,
Not only is he a railway manager
but he is also one of the greatest
tinanciers and promoters of the
times.
Mr.. Hills influence in railroad at
fairs has come to be greater, per-
haps, than that of any other individ-
ual, but Notwithstanding the magni-
tude of his operations. the smallest
detail of the business seems not to
escape his observation. nor does he
relapse for an instant his constant
effort to economic in the manage
ment and operations of his roads.
and some Of his efforts seem almost
ludicrOps. Colored porters on Mr..
Hills road get but few dollars per
month from the road. They must de-
pend upon tips for the most of their
pay In order to get the full bene-
fit of this Mr., Hill. some time ago
substituted a colored porter for one
of the white brakemen on each pas
senger train but the experiment
seems not to have been success, for
several bad wrecks resulted and Mr..
Hill was obliged to give up the por-
ters and the tips.
On other roads separate conduct
ors are employed for the dining ear
service and also for the Pullmans,
but on Mr.. Hill's road only one CON
ductor is employed who must look
after both of those branches of the
service
Another one of Mr.. Hills economi-
cal combinations is to be found in
the colored man who looks after the
buffet coach, This accomplished in
dlvidual acts as conductor, porter,
bath attendant, bartender and bar
Der, and at meal time this knight of
the razor will be found in the din
ing car acting as waiter. Truly Mr.
Hill is a man full of resources and
it would not surprise the public to
see the dining cars on his trains
coupled next to the engines with the
engineer doing the cooking on the
boiler and the fireman washing dish
es in the tender.

THE MILKY WAY,
A System Which Gives Us Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space

A System WhfcI, Gives Us u Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.
The Milky Way, the grandest feature
of the "tirmament which bends above
us" the hazy path which so majestic
ally bands the whole fabric of the
skies together, is now known to be
composed of a grand aggregation of at
least 100000 suns. each as large rs
or larger than that which makes veye,
table and animal life IN earthly posi-
bility. One is apt when allowing the
mind to revert to the contemplation of
these misty and indistnct astronomical
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons.
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such compari-
sons are worse than "odious" The bulk
of our sun exceeds that of the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great
er than that OF the bulk of his whole
train of planets taken collectively This
being the case, what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude of IS
100000 suns, each. as | have said be-
fore, probably larger than that which
gives us heat and light?
The infinite number of suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at a uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun.
In fact they appear to work altogcth-
er Independently of either this mum
dane sphere or our GLORIOUS orb or
day The majority of them are plant
ed at Il distance too remote to be even
imperfcctly measured or understood.
Some Of them are so near O. that

$4,000 miles per second. would cross
the distance between us and them in
the period of about an even ten years.
Others, however, are so remote that it
would take full thousand years for
their light to reach us.

MUST ANSWER FOR TREASON
Trial Of Colonel Arthur Lynch Begins in
English Court,
GALWAY MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Attracts Unusual Interest, Many
Women Being In n Crowded
Court Room, Including
wife of the Prisoner.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The trial Of Colonel
Arthur Lynch, member Of Parliament for
Galway, on the charge OF treason, by aiding
and abetting the kings and the late queens
enemies, during the war in South Africa,
according to one unique sentence Of the
arraignment, being moved and seduced
thereto by the instigation of the devil
commenced today before Lord Chief Justice
Lord Alverstone, and two other justices.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Upwards of sixty years have elapsed since
a treason trial has been held In London.
The last was that Of John Francis, a youth
who fired a pistol at the late Queen Victoria
as she was riding down Constitution Hill.
Francis was condemned to death, but the
sentence was committed to Imprisonment
for life. He was released in 1867.
Unusual interest, therefore, is taken in
the present case. The court room was
crowded. many women, including Mrs.
Lynch, being among those present. Colonel
Lynch was present and careworn, but he
stood In the dock composedly listening to
the lengthy indictment, which occupied
nearly al hour in reading.
Drawing, quartering and beheading &C
companied the death penalty for treason
until 1870, when this was abolished. The
death penalty, however, remains.
The attorney general, Sir Robert Finlay,
| opened the case, reciting the alleged trea-
sonable acts as fully reported at the pre-
liminary hearing.
After the conclusion of the evidence for
the crown, which did not differ from that
presented at the preliminary hearing, and
the reading Of Lynch's statement made to
the committing magistrate, the case was
adjourned.
