How Islands Acquire Vegetation. :

Nature in her slow. leisurcly way Isl
making highly Instructive expert
ment for us to show how islands may
acquire their vegetation. Just twenty
years ago the most stupendous volcan-
&c eruption of modern times destroyed
all life, animal and vegetable, in the
island of Krakatoa. Three years later
DR.. Treub visited the place and found
some lowly microscopic alga settling
on the pumice and lava. These, il
seemed, acted as decomposing agencies
and prepared the way for ferns, which
soon began to appear. Then followo"
q few Towering plants, probably from
drift seeds. Five years ago there had
settled siXty-two species OF vascular
plants, fifty Of these being Towering
species and representing twenty-onc
natural orders. All these Mr.. Bott!ln%

An Impudent Enforcement.

During one of his busy reception
hours, when President Lincoln was
talking first to one, then to another, of
the many who filled the room in the
White House, a gentleman asked If any
news had been received from John Nor
gan, whose Confederate cavalry were
raiding Kentucky and Ohio.

days." replied Lincoln. u admire him,

There is no reason why muscle or
muscles of the eye should not be fag-

headache to the heavy burden he has
borne2 It seems without elaborate
thinking we could conceive Of the re-
suits following upon prolonged use OF
the eye. Nature has done all she could
to protect and prolong the usefulness
of the eye. No earthly architect ever
yet planned structure that would not

than need be. for the reason that we do
not realize how much one part Is sus-
