SCIENTIFIC SELECTIONS.

India has, perhaps, a greater variety
OF plants than any other country in the
world, having $4,000 native species.
while the flora Of the entire continent
of Europe only embraces about 10000.
How far radium is responsible for the
heat Of the earth is one OF the philosophi-
cal questions now interesting scientists.
Prof. Rutherford, before recent meet
ing Of the Royal Institute Of London,
stated that he believed the amount Of
radium present and uniformly distribu.
ted throughout the earth would be suf-
ficient to account for all the heat lost
from that body.
The production of rubber from the
ficus elastica in Upper Burma, Assam,
and the Netherland, is being rapidly in
creased. The seed of the ficus Elastica,
when the tree grows naturally in the
forest terminates almost invariably in
the forks of trees 80 to 40 feet above the
surface of the ground, and the young
trees grow in consequence for some six
to ten years as epiphytes, after which
the aerial roots reach the ground, and
increase in size until some of them reach
girth of from four to six feet. 1t freA
quently happens that the trees on which
the rubber Seeding first terminated is
killed by the more vigorous growing
f1cus elastica.
Scientific investigation has discovered
that that troublesome disease, dyspepsia,
can be cured by short intervals Of ex-
posture to intense cold, followed by
hearty eating. M. Raoul Pictet, q Swiss
gentleman, was experimenting with q
low temperature. He had produced an
artificial temperature in sort Of pit
which caused the thermometer to sink
to 40 or $50 degrees below zero. Among
other experiments he exposed himself
for brief interval to this temperature
by lowering himself into the pit. On
emerging he found himself intensely
hungry and ate freely. The process was
repeated several times, and as a result he
found himself cured OF chronic indiges-
ton. from which he had suffered for
years.

,%SGNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
The story presupposes diplomatic intrigue be-
tween Great Britain and France, and the political
parties therein. Marion Sitgreayes, niece of
Sir Gordon Revelstoke,, home secretary, is in
love with Brent Noel. his young protege. But
Noel, having first taken a fancy to- her. has
settled his affection Margot, Sir Gordons
ptetty daughter. Marion is jealous and listens
toxa private conversation between Lord Reck-
werth (the foreign secretary, Sir Gordon Reyel-
stoke and Brent. THE last named is commits
stoned to take secret packet Of great impor-
tGnce to beautiful actress, Mile. Jullette de
Nevers. who is acting a British spy or
friendly with each other. Marion determines to
use the fact to her own mean advantage, Marion
tells Margot that Brent is going to Paris to
make love to the actress. Margot goes to Char
ing Cross railway station and highly embarrass-
ing scene occurs, Rrsnt Is bound to absolute
secrecy, the mission being one Of grave con-
Germ and danger. At last, as the train
carriage, not noticing it was reserved. and con-
tains three very mysterious men,. Brent has
had several alarming adventures, being jostled
his coat pocket as soon as he RECEIVERS himself,
feels that 1t Is secure, and he presses the pack
cts outline for complete assurance. He meets
Mile. de Neyers in an hotel and hands forth
his packet. Suddenly the lights are turned out
and the door handle stealthily moves. On the
restoration of light it appears that the French
nands the treaty. Juliette and Brent profess
ignorance, and privately searched without
discovery of the case. Then search Of the
room discloses the case. which had been pressed
into chair lining. To the amazement of every
body, the case contains magnificent Jewels; but
not a treaty. The police retire with apologies,
and the awful thought dawns upon Brent that
the case had been exchanged Juliette tells
Brent that If the treaty has been stolen there
is nothing for her but death. She Is engaged to
be married to Count Maxine de Ribaumont, an
under secretary at the French foreign office.
and thru his aid, unwittingly given, she had
stolen the treaty. #f

CHAPTER VI.
Told by Noel Brent, Who is in Love
With the Home Secretary's
Daughter.
a GREAT SURPRISE.

I was glad when Juliette had gone,
FOL. as had told her, wanted to
think quietly, II my brain were equal
to quiet thinking in my present mood
Of confused excitement.
She had taken with her the neck
lace, but she had left the torn red
leather case. I picked 1t up and ex-
amined 1t carefully for the first time.
It had not been originally intended
as receptacle for jewelry, that was
clear; and as Juliette had had SINGER
ity in her voice when she denied all
knowledge OF 1t to the commissary of
police. I judged that the diamonds
had not been in 1t when they were
entrusted to the Comte de Ribaumont.
The young man had probably de-
scribed to her the box or case in
which he had carried the Jewels to
Amsterdam, and If this shabby affair
Of red leather had answered his de-
scription, there would have been b
light OF establishment in her eyes

when very drunk, but not otherwise.
Two Of them tackled each other on
the quay in Odessa. They threw
their arms about each others necks
and bit and Kicked with their knees.
A crowd of seamen gathered about,
and finally an onlooker gave one Of
the combatants a sly but hard kick,
WhereupOn the crowd laughed.
This went on until he who had been
kicked by the outsider broke loose
from his adversary and turned fercely
on the humorist. Several others VEN
tured into the scrap, and pretty soon
a dozen men were biting, tearing and
punching one another and jumping on
those who. were down.
Suddenly, a Russian naval lieutenant,
in his bright uniform, flashed into
the crowd and laid mercilessly about
him with a thin cane. The fight
ended in an instant. The huge,
clumsy sailors were cowed by au-
thority and stood cringing about the
officer, like dogs before their master.
On the other hand, when an Eng
lish police officer once tried to quell
row among some Russian sailors in
an English seaport, they played foot
ball with him thru a window. That
was only because his uniform wasn't
Russian. When some reserves finally
came upon the scene, the belligerents
went willingly to Jail. Next day they
were arraigned in court. Their faces
were bitten and beaten. The magis-
trate expressed great disgust at their
methods Of fighting. This surprised
them. Thru an interpreter they said:
IF you fight, don't you try to hurt
the other fellow as much as you can
Isn't it fair to use all the means given
you-your teeth, your feet, your nails
If we were to use only our fists, we
couldn't hurt each other in a year
and the fight would never end
"a. The Japanese sailors idea Of fair
fighting is diametrical: to that Of the
Russians. His rules are stricter ever
than the Americans. At any rate, he
disapproves Of a big fellow pitching
into a little man, even tho the lat.
ter may have science with him. This
trait was shown at one of the count
less sailors fights that take place
in Nagasaki.3 ..s
Two sailors of an American slir
went ashore to settle a dispute in the
good, old Angfo-Saxon way. Abou
two hundred Japs, mostly navy ant
some merchant seamen, accompanied
the combatants and their Yankee
hackers to the suburbs. They did no
seem to be quite sure at first Whethe
the fight was to be with swords O.
clubs but when the two pugilists pilet
into each other with their bare fists
the TJaps formed a good, wide circl
about them and watched with breath
less interest. One of the fighters wa
much smaller than the other, but NOR
active, so it was a pretty even match
