HAIRS OF THE NETTLE,
The Reason They Sting So When
They Prick the Flesh. s

The Reason They Sting So When
They Prick the Flesh.
The singing hairs of the common
nettle, which can easily be seen by the
naked eye, stand out under the micro
scope as rigid, transparent, tubular
prickles, highly polished and exqui-
sitely pointed. At their bases these
hairs are furnished with Dubious reser-
voirs, which are charged with formic
acid, an acrid, poisonous fluid, which is
discharged into the wound after the
sharp points have pierced the skin
Mr.. Curtis, in his "Flora,'' gives this
graphic description Of the process:
''Placing the foot stalk of a nettle leaf
on the stage of a microscope, pressed
the bulb with blunt pin and found
liquid ascend in the prickle, as quick
silver does when warm hand is ap-
piled to the bulb of thermometer. I
saw the liquid ascend and flow from
its extremity. I was the more anxious
to see this, as I fancied the poison
might proceed from an aperture in the
side of the sting near it's point, and
here it appears to be placed rather
than quite at the end, that it may not
take off from its necessary sharpness.

Why Stammerers Are Able to

Why stammerers Are Able to Sing.
Stammering depends ON a want Of
harmony between the action of the
muscles Chiefly abdominaD which ex-
pei air through the larynx and that of
the muscles which guard the orifice by
which it escapes with that Of those
which modulate the sound to the form
Of speech. Over either Of the groups
of muscles by itself a stammerer may
have as much power as other people,
but he cannot harmoniously arrange
their conjoint action. Nervousness is
a frequent cause Of stammering. It is
possible that the defect in some in
stances may result from malformation
Of the parts about the back of the
mouth. The fact that stammering peo-
pie are able to sing their words better
than to speak them has been usually
explained on the supposition that in
singing the CLOTHS is kept open SO that
there is less liability to spasmodic ac-

Attempted Suicide.

Excitement was created at Brainerd
when the city was aroused by the ring
ing of bells and firing of guns. When
large crowd gathered at central hose
house it was learned that Mrs. John
Brackner had left her home at six
o'clock, leaving word that she was
going to drown herself.
Posses were formed and men went
out to the river banks with lanterns.
One party of men had not been gone
long before they spied the form of a
woman on a floating cake of ice in the
middle of the river. They secured a
boat and rowed out just in time to res
cue the woman who had evidently de-
cided not to jump into the water but
was hanging on to the ice.
Mrs. Brackner is the wife of a local
blacksmith. She was recently re-
turned to Brainerd from the Fergus
Falls insane asylum.

WHAT MICROBES ARE.


low They Multiply and How Nature
Keeps Them Within Bounds.
Since Pasteur demonstrated the fact
that many human diseases are due to
minute living things which grow and
multiply in our bodies there has been
q tendency to call all microscopic or
ganisms, whether harmful or not,
germs" or microbes, or bacteria"
Unfortunately This confusion may
be cleared by the statement that pro-
tozoa are the lowest known forms Of
animals and that bacteria are the low
est known forms of plants, while
germs and microbes" may apply to
the disease causing forms in either
group.
In our laboratories, under suitable
conditions of food and warmth, ba-
cillus splits in half an hour into two
parts, each of which splits again in
half an hour, and so on, and it has
been estimated that a single bacillus,
It given similar conditions in nature,
would within week give rise to pro-
geny numerous enough to fill the At
lantic ocean. Such overbalancing is
largely prevented by the protocol,
which feed upon the bacteria, increas-
ing as they increase and decreasing as
this food supply gives out. The pro-
tozoa in turn are eaten by animals like
the worms and shellfsh, these by 9TH
ers, and so on. the balance of nature
being SO delicate that no form increases
disproportionately for any length Of
time, although, like the locust plague
or the California fruit tree scale or
the gypsy moth, some forms may oc-
casionally predominate.-Gary N. Cal

more than forty years. He assumed
charge of the Windsor hotel twenty
four years ago and since that time his

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE gen.
orally anticipated attack on Port Ar

though telegram received from Grand
Duke Cyril reports that the enemy's
ships were sighted on the horizon. It
is presumed that the Japanese were
warned of the extra precautions which
had been taken to guard against sur

pedo fotilla patrolled the open sea,
while the warships with full steam up
remained outside Port Arthur.
Japanese Ships Retire.
London, April 1.-THE Japanese war
ships off Port Arthur retired without
making shot late Friday night when,
by means of the Russian searchlights,
their presence had been discovered.
The Japanese fleet had been lowering
off the horizon nearly "a hours and an
other attack had been expected mo-
mentarily, consequently the garrison
and feet had made full preparations to
meet the enemy. After nightfall it
was reported to Admiral Makaroff that
the Japanese were approaching the en-
trance of the harbOr. The admiral i'm
mediately commanded his fleet to move
which order was obeyed without delay,
full steam having been up for several
hours. The admiral. in personal COM
mand of the fleet, sailed from the har-
Dor, and the Japanese, seeing they
were discovered, turned about and dis
appeared. The Russians did not give
chase, but, being satisfied the enemy
had retired, returned to harbor.
