How Plants Remain Upright.

If flowerpot is laid on its side the
stalk Of the plant growing in it grad
ually curves upward until 1t resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geOtropic curvature, and the question
is by what means the plant is stimu-
lated to change its direction Of growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
or side as the position Is changed and
by their pressure influence the mech
anism Of growth.

Observation-Disclosures

Breechloading in artillery and small
arms is popularity supposed to be an
invention of the middle of last century,
but such is by no means the case. In
n Dublin gunsmith's shop at Cork Hill
is on view a breechloading rife offered
to the British war Office at the close of
the eighteenth century and rejected,
as It was considered to need too much
ammunition!

Potent Pin Pleasure.

The pills that are potent in their action and
pleasant in effect are DeWitt's Little Early
Risers. w. S. PhilpOt of Albany, Ca, says:
" During bilious attack l took one. Small
as it was, it did me more good than calomel ,
blue mass or any other pills ever took, and
I'd the same time it effected me pleasantly.
Little Early Risers are certainly an ideal
pill" Sold by E. 5. Leadbeater & Sons.
