That is the way it used to be with

papers to the effect that he would pay
them royalty on each Of their pic

"As soon as that reproduction began
the theatrical managers spared no
pains to get photographs OF their lead

women to pose for any and every

HUMAN LIFE AND NATURE.

Existencs of Man Depends on Many
1hsnzs-Evolution of Plants.
1t Ia not easy to apprehend the fact
that human life on the globe Is de-
pendent upon such incidents as CO..
operation with birds or the collateral
evolution Of certain plants, says the
New York Tribune. Yet it has been
asserted By scientists that human
life, II possible at all on the globe,
would be at a very low stage but for
the co-edstence OF three or four fam
lies OF plants-the cereal, the sola-
mum, the palm and the rose families.
Wherever we turn we find ourselves
In interdependent relations with these
four allies. The palm alone, with its
ancient representatives in the coal
era, gives US not fewer than 1000 va
rietes OF valuable fruits and hbers.
The solanum family gives US the po-
tato, the tomato and tobacco; the GER
cal family gives Us rice, on which one
third Of the race mostly subsists;
oats and corn for ourselves and our
domesticated animals, as well as
wheat and rye for bread, and the true
grasses for animals These last are
simply undeyeloped cereals. The rose
family gives US nearly all the fruits
IN our orchards and gardens, as well
as the noblest Of the flowers that
adorn our lawns. Some representa-
lives OF each one OF these families are
found over the larger part Of the hab-
table globe.
An important evolution is still going
on In plant life. We are more likely,
however. to note the appearance OF
noxious plants than the development
Of those Of sterling merit These very
weeds indicate a struggle for exist
encs. IN which struggle the oversight
Of man Is required Out OF the crowd
