Fish Lives After Freezing.

A Berlin professor has been
experimenting with the effects of
extreme cold on fish life. He has
found that many fishes remain
alive in a temperature of 40 de,
grees below freezing point, but
they then become so hard and
brittle that they splinter like o
piece Of ice when struck against
a hard substance.

AS TO CLIMBING PLANTS.
Their Tendrils Are in Constant Mo
ton Till They Reach Something
to Which to Fasten.

1t is in the twining plants, such
as bryony and hop, and the ten
drill bearers, like the vetches, that
we find the highest development
of the climbing habit, says Knowl-
edge.
These plants live under unusual
conditions. In order to gain the
light they must seek rather than
avoid oyerhanging foliage, and so
we find the vetches, instead of
turning away from the shadow
toward the light, like most Of
their neighbors, boldly pushing
up in the center of a bush, to burst
into blossom amid it's upper
branches, far above their less dar-
ing neighbOrs.
But it is in the leaves of these
plants that we find the most re
markable notifications adapting
them to a climbing habit.
If the slightly curved, extende,
tendril of a young leaf of pea o
vetch be watched carefully it vii
be found that it is slowly but il
cessantly moving round an
round in a circle. If the tendr
comes into contact with a twig
bends toward it and eventual
takes several turns around it.
, Even a slight temporary irrit
! ton is sufficient to cause a ben
ing toward any side. Finally Il
I tendril becomes woody and stror
and forms a secure anchor cab
for the plant.
n Not only does the young tend
# rotate; the whole leaf on which
9 is borne is in continual motto
n The shoot to which the leaf
p. longs is rotating also, sQthat t
# tendril is sweeping the air with
Il complicated motion, in the coul
n of which it is almost sure to stri
- against some stem or twig of I
surrounding vegetation.

Marlin Van suREN PARERs
8hsy Form a valuable Addltioa to
the CONFESSIONS hibrsiy
Manuscripts: :.

The Observation-Disclosures of manu-
scripts in the library of congress,
says the Washington Star, has
been greatly enriched by the re-
cent acquisition of still another
valuable cOllectiOn-the letters
and papers of Martin Van Buren,,
eighth president of the United
States. The collection, which is
one of great historical interest
and significance, comes to the
library as the gift through the
philosophical generosity of Mrs.
Smith T. Van Buren,, of Fishkill,
n. Y, the widow of the third son
Of the president.
The papers bear upon Mr.. Van
Buren's career as attorney gen
eral of the stateof New York, his
senatOrship, his mission to Eng
land and his presidency. Inas-
much as none of the private cor
respOndence has been used by any
biOgrapher, it is believed that the
material will throw much light
upon Mr.. Van Buren's political
views and conduct. The cOllec-
ton is particularly rich in New
York state politics, which at this
period were very important in
their influence upon national af-
fairs that passed between An
drew Jackson and Martin Van
Buren,. They began while Jack.
son was president, and continue
to the year of his death. The pc
litical intimacy of Jackson and
Van Buren, is, of course, a matter
of very great historic conse
quence, and the letters are many
of them very free in their com
ment on men and measures. BY
themselves, these letters form g
most noteworthy collection witt
papers of Andrew Jackson, which
were presented to he library dur
ing the past year by the children
of Montgomery Blair.
Another interesting feature o
the collection is the autObiOgra
ply still in manuscript (sOme 81,
folio volumes) begun by Mr.. Va
Buren, when he was II years o
age. 1t covers his life to abou
the year 1888, and is in the natur
Of a defense of his political col
duct, of which there had bee
fierce criticism; and a history {
: political parties in which he ha
always taken great interest. Thi
| autobiography has never bee
printed nor has it been accessible
to his biOgraphers.
. In all, the collection number
between 1,400 and 1900.

men on the coast of Brittany. In

Early on the 10Th of November
Rose Here went to the rocks near

a heavy fog, which was just be-

this fisher girl heard the cries of
men. The Breton coast at this
point is exceedingly rocky and is
swept by speedy currents, which
speedily carry death to persons
not accustomed to their wiles.
Rose Here knew this. She
calmly waited until the fog was
high enough to disclose the men in
danger. Away in the distance lay
the English steamship Vesper:
between it and the. shore lay
three boats. She put out in g

no domestic animals-nO cows,

a few horses, which are imported
for the use of foreigners, but

The Strongest Soldiers.

From a recent medical inquiry
into the physical status of the
various classes of military it
was found that the low-sized,
broad-chested artillerymen were
the strongest and healthiest in
the service. On the other hand,
the tall men of the guards had
the disease tendencies of the
overgrown, and consumption and
other pulmonary troubles were
nOticeably common. When mar
rOw-chested, the men of the
guards and heavy cavalry very
soon broke down. Indeed, the
bulk of the medical evidence
seemed to show that the small
well.set men-the typical At
kinses-were the ideal soldiers
though not so imposing or mar
tiallOOking as the giganti
guards.
