JAVA's DEATH PLANT.

tt Grows Only on the sterile Sofl OF
the Volcanic Regions
Java, the land OF the famous and
much exaggerated Death valley, has
many wonderful curiosities, sthe prin-
cipal one being the kali muJah, or
death plant. IL grows only on the
sterile soils OF the volcanic regions of
Java and the adjoining islands ana IN
even there reckoned as curiosity on
account or its extreme scarcity. II
grows from two and half to three
feet In height, with long, slender
stems, well protected by stout thorns
nearly an inch I'm length. The ground
leaves are of delicate, satinlike
smoothness. heart shaped, emerald
green on one side and blood red.
streaked and veined with light bun, on
the other.
The flowers of this death dealing
beauty are even more beautiful than
the plant itself, being very large and
cup shaped and OF color almost
deathly In its wilderness. The name Of
the plant is from a characteristic Of
these splendid flowers, which. beautf-
full though they are. continually drip
with q deadly poison.
The poison, which Is distilled In the
bottom Of the cup shaped blossom, has
the sickening odor OF chloroform in
tensified dozen fold, IL being power
full enough to overcome n full grown
man In n few seconds, even when in
hailed in open air. The perfume, IL

history. That has recently been told
by William Il. Curtis I'm the Chicago
Record-Herald and is an instructive
Illustration OF what enterprising men
can do when they set out to make a
market for their product. Rocky Ford
is In southeastern Colorado, where the
soil Is well adapted to melon raising.
Seventeen years ago farmer there
who had succeeded I'm raising an ex-
cellent crop advertised that he would
give away melons to all who called ON
n certain day. Less than a hundred
called, but they got melons and liked
them. In response TO a similar adyer-
usement 500 called for melons the next
year. and the neighboring turner's be-
gan to see the wisdom OF this kind OF
advertising. This year 1900 persons
visited Rocky Ford on Sept. Q, or melon
day, and $4,000 melons were given
away. Six extra trains were run to
carry the people. some Of whom tray
eled 125 miles. Melon day has become
so popular In that part OF Colorado that
the county fair is held In Rocky Ford

Far away In the dreary land OF Am

In Tartar tent, was born wou6ler-
full boy named Tsong Saba From his
birth he had long white beard and
flowing hair and could speak perfectly
his native tongue.
Ills manners were majestic, and his
words were full OF wisdom. When he
was three years old he resolved TO cut
Off his hair and live n solitary life. So
his mother shaved his head and threw
his long. flowing locks upon the ground
outside their tent door From his hair
sprang the wonderful tree.
Tsong Kaba lived many years. did
countless good deeds and at last died.
But the tree which had grown no from
his hair lived. and they called IL 1.-The
tree OF 10000 images" This was long
before the Christian era, but it is tho
testimony OF the French missionaries
that the tree lives yet The leaves are
always green. The wood Is or a red

The Ra<nfau

There Is always more or less guess
work concerning the amount OF rain
that falls during any storm period.
Throughout the United States the
amount that falls on any one day rare
ly exceeds one inch. There are certain
portions of the globe. however, that
are frequently and others only occa-
sionally deluged with water. On the
southern slope OF the H,malaya noun
tafhs. at an altitude Of 1900 feet, 6lO
inches Of rainfall have been registered
In single year. OF which amount lat
inches Q2 feet 8 inches) fell In the month
OF June. At a meteorological station In
latitude Is degrees. near the western
boundary OF Hindustan the average
rainfall for fifteen yeArs was 204
inches. In the northwestern part OF
England, at an altitude OF 1900 faat,
the average annual rainfall is lac
inches.
The wonderful record given above Is
still more phenomenal when we con-
slider the fact that all the moisture the
atmosphere Is capable OF holding at
any one time would cover the entire
surface OF the globe to a depth OF less
than four inches should II all be in

FEEDS SCHOOL CHILDREN.

Paris Has Given Them Free McnIs
and shoes For Thirty Years
The speech of Superintendent Max
well Of the New York public schools in
st. Louis recently. in which he de-
clared that thousands OF children In
city schools are unable properly to Mt.
tend to their studies because of the
gnawing of hunger, has already borne
fruit in Milwaukee, where breakfasts
are now supplied free to all poor chill.
drcn who may apply fer them.
While this is the first application OF
this plan in America, IL has long been
practiced In Paris, where, since 1874,
fund has been in existence for pro-
viding poor children with shoes, cloth
Ing and the necessaries of life.
Al first only the children of the
Montmartre district were thus favor
ed. but gradually the idea spread until
In 1882 n law was passed extending
the plan to all the city communes.
These school funds, intended prima-
rily only to provide clothing, prizos and
courage attendance, have increased so
that now the furnishing or food for
the little ones is the principal item. In
the department OF the Seine alone
thousands OF warm meals were served
to the children of the schools In the
first year OF the experiment., and in
lSS4-So fifteen school 'canteens'' pro-
vided by the authorities dispensed no
less than 1,l10.S27 portions. Ope-third
OF these We're helpings OF soup, another
third meat and the rest vegetables.
The children, where they were able,
had to pay for their meals, and there
was contributed in this way 36,776
francs for 730526 OF these helpings.
There, was no payment for 374.SOl
heipings. The total cost was 59.26I
francs ($11.S52).
Since then the system has spread and
grown, and the authorities have been
able to provide n better meal for less
money, now that they can count on
large quantity. The average cost OF a
meal of meat, vegetable and soup is
only cents. With this, too, Is given
bottle of wine when desired that costs
only cents, yet is wholesome
From the very first the greatest care
has been taken not to allow any loss Of
dignity to arise from the free feeding.
The fundamental principle OF the whole
management is the absolute innocence
or the children. They cannot be ex-
peeted to pay. Their parents may be
at fault; If so, there Is only the greater
reason to shelter the children and to
try to preserve Ia them that sense of
self respect which might so easily be
wrecked by their parents bad conduct.
Each child is called upon to pay 3
cents per day for his meal and receives
In exchange. a check or ticket. Some
times this payment is Effected In q
small Office, one child entering at n
time. All receive ticket for their
dinner and only the person who gives
the ticket knows who have paid and
who have not. The parents of those
who do not pay are visited. A full In
quiry is made as to their condition. and
II they are poor they are put on the
free list.-New York World.

COUNTING COIN.
An Electrical Machine That Does IL
With Wonderful Raptdtty


An Electrical Machine That Does II
With Wonderful Raptdtty.
Almost every one. from the million
aires Of Wall street down to the
humblest bootblack, has felt the neces-
sity OF making money quickly and
easily. the counting Of 1t being n mat
ter OF secondary Importance. How
ever the coin OF the realm was pro-
duced. whether i'm the form of bright
copper pennies or 100000 gold certif-
Gates, IL would seem like throwing the
gauntlet down to fate to object to
counting them. Yet there are times
and conditions when men long for a
machine capable OF counting their
money for them; hence the electric
motor coin counting and wrapping ma
chine.
The object OF such device Is OBJ
viously to facilitate the rapid and &C
curate counting and bundling OF coins
of all descriptions, from pennies to dol
lars, since there are many lines of
business which necessitate the employ
ment OF large staff OF clerks whose
sole duty heretofore has been the per-
formance of this laborious task.
The machine counts and wraps coins
at the rate OF seven every second
or 40 coins every minute and does this
continuously us long as the motor
runs and coins are fed into the hop
per. The coins are wrapped compact
ly at the rate of from eight to twelve
bundles per minute, according to the
size OF the coins
Since an expert is only enabled to
count and wrap fifty coins n minute
manually. 1t will be seen that the ma
chine VIII do at least as much work
as eight men. II 10 true that each
machine requires an operator, whose
work consists OF a mere eursory ex-
animation OF the coins to see that there
are no plugged pieces, iron washers
and lead slugs mixed with good money.
The speed Of the machine ~ limited
only by the ability OF the operator 20
detect the spurious coins. When the
machine ~ In operation the coins are
laid upon table to facilitate examI-
nation, when they are dropped int a
hopper, whence they slide through a
conduit down into the active mechan-
ism, where they are pushed into n
row. When the last coin has been
forced into tia place by a reciprocal
Ing push bar the coins are automatscal-
ly transferred from a buncher to the
wrapper while a new row is being
brought into position.
AS the coins reach the wrapper n
roll OF paper is fed by three driving
rolls placed around the bundle OF coins.
By q rolling motion the paper is wrap
ped around the coins twice. when II is
cut or by a V shaped knife, The next
and finishing process Is turning ,n the
projecting edges Of the wrapper, which
Is done by means OF erimpers. drawing
the edges In opposite directions and
finally turning out q smoothly rolled
package held firmly In place without
the use Of paste.
As the inventor facetiously remarked.
the reason coin counting and wrap
ping machine had never before been in
vented was because inventors never
had money to count. The business of
the inventor of this particular device
was TO collect, count and bundle pen
MES taken in by weighing and other
slot machines.
