ABOUT FERNS.

The ferns have the strapgest life
story. What would you think if you
planted bean and there came up. not
a bean plant, but curious little plant.
looking not in the least like its mo-
there
Yet something like this really hap
pens in the fern s life. Its immediate
off spring do not resemble it the slight
est. 10 fact, | doubt if the fern re-
cognizes its own children.
There are two great groups Of plants
those which bear flowers and those
which bear none. The fern belongs
to the latter-the fiowerless group.
When you are out in the woods these
summer days look on the under side of
the fern fronds and see if you do not
find there some small brown dots. Per-
haps you have found them on your
own ferns in the garden and thought
they we're something injurious to the
fern. Perhaps you have spent hours
in carefully scraping them off. No?
Well, am glad you know better. but
/ have seen some foolish people doing
that very thing.
Those brown dots are fruit dots.
From them there falls to the ground
a brown dust. each little particle of
dust being what we call a spore. Each
tiny spore grows up into q little flat
green plant that lies close to the
ground. Look closely at the ground
around your ferns a week or so after
you have seen the fruit dots on the
fronds.
You will ind it is carpeted with a
11n4
what like moss, but is really a great
crowd of the ferns children; each one
grows from q spore. Each child is
called prothallium (which means the
plant that comes before).
If you watch still longer you will
find that out from each prothallium
there springs a new fern-a real fern
plant, very small st first, with but one
frond, but steadily growing large and
more like its grandmother fern. AS
it grows its mother, the prothaIlium,
slowly dies away and finally disap-
pears.
So you see what it is that is so GU
rious in the family history of the fern.
First there comes the fern; then her
many children. which are wholly un
like her; then her grandchildren. which
are the exact image of her; next her
great-gran1children. which are pro-
thaIlia again. and their children. which
are ferns, and so on. ad infnitum.
Interesting letters have been receiV-
ed from many children in Porto Rico.
But not in English as we hoped. Co
rrect answers were received from
number. If you will all look over the
offer made you will see that book
prize was offered for the SaeGtest0 CO.
rrect solution, not only for Scorrect9
solution.-So LUIS MARCANO, RIO
PIEDRAS, PORTO RICO, won the
prize as the reply was the neatest. -
Try Sgain-and whenever you get the
chance as there will be many gifts
from time to time.
Yours sincerely,

THE HERALD FINED
$1,000 FOR LIBEL
Case Ended Abruptly Yesterday
at Smithland.
The Defendants Made No Defense
Except Lack of Juris-
diction.
AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN

Secretary of State H. V. McChes-
ney, of Frankfort, and Editor Young
Allison and Correspondent George
Riley, of the Louisville Herald, to-
Rether with attorneys, passed through
Psducab this forenoon en- route home
from Smithland, KY, where the trial
against the Herald Publishing COM
psny, for criminal libel, ended alb
ruptly last evening.
The defendants paper offered no
testimony, merely contending that the
Livingston circuit court had no juris-
diction in the case. The jury brought
in verdict against the Herald for
81, 800. An appeal will be taken on
the question of jurisdiction, and prob.
ably be settled by the court of appeals
before the cases against Editor Allison
and Mr.. Riley for criminal libel, are
tried. The latter were called today
and continued until the next term of
court.
The prosecution against the Herald,
it will no doubt be recalled, was coca
stoned by the publication some time
during the last state campaign, that
Mr.. McChesney was using state funds
to prosecute his individual canvas,
which was not true, and was at once
corrected by the Herald.
Mr.. McChesney, then superintend-
emit of public instruction, went to Liv-
ingston county, his former home, and
had the paper and its employees indict-
ed and the fine assessed against the
paper by the jury yesterday was prob
ably no surprise. 1t is probable that
the cases against the Herald men will
not come up for several months yet.

Starr, Paducah. comes second with
$50 out OF $50, and won the amateur

Attempted to Take the Town at
Garrett, Pa.
Several Perish in An Incendiary
Fire-Sheriff Has An Armed
Posse.
WILL KEEP DOWN TROUBLE

Somerset, Pa, April 20.-Sheriff
Coleman reports everything quiet at
Garrett. The miners are sullen and
have little to say Of the occurrences
of the last three days. The funerals
of Elk victims were buried this after
noon. The saloons are closed and the
town is in the hands of officers.
Last night the strikers took the
towr.
At least 200 shots were exchanged
between the mob and men.
At the house of Joseph Jocko, an
Italian grocer, the lamps were extin.
guished by shots fired through the
windows and the family spent the
night in terror. The dwelling of Jer-
~ Meyers, q miner who formerly
worked for the Garrett Coal COM
pany, was discovered on fire. Mrs.
Meyers her two daughters, one son aud
two small children persisted in the
flames. Mr.. Meyers and a boarder
named Sullivan dashed through the
flames to safety. 1t is believed the
fire was started by incendiaries. The
Meyers house occupied a site on q
bluff outside the borough in full view
of the town and the hundreds of peo-
pie who rushed TO the scene were help
Less to rescue the women and children.
Coroner Louther wired the sheriff
that the situation was extremely criti-
cal. The sheriff's posse reached
Garrett last night, and all the officers
are armed with winchesters and will
be prepared to enforce the law.

EIGHT KILLED.
DISASTROUS RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT ON THE MEXICAN
CENTRAL.

Mexico City. April 20.-The north
bound fast passenger train No. on
the Mexican Central, which left this
city last night, jumped the track
about four miles north of Zescate-
casm. resulting in the death of eight
persons and the injury of many others.
The train was bowling along at q
high rate of speed when defective
piece of rail was struck, precipitat-
ing the locomotive, which was fol-
lowed by the express, baggage. the
first, second and third coaches down
an embankment, totally demolishing
them.
The two Pullmans were the only
cars which did not leave the track
and consequently those occupying
them received no injuries beyond
severe shaking up.

Remarkable April Weather for
This Part of the Country.
Great Damage Is Feared to Crops
and Garden Truck. Already
Scarce.
A FREEZE Is NOT EXPECTED

Billiards in April may not be en-
tirely unprecedented but such
weather as the clerk gave this section
today is certainly unusual, to say the
least. Fair and warmer weather was
Yesterdays prediction for today. but
before daylight fakes Of snow began
to fall. There was rain and snow al
ternately until about a. m, when
sleet began to fall.
This continued several hours, and
was very discouraging to the market
ers who claim that great deal of
damage has already been done.
The cold rain and sleet continued
for several hours, often covering the
ground to the depth of half an inch
before melting. The lowest tempera-
ture reached last night was 35, bnt
this morning the mercury began to
rise, and il was the opinion of Gov.
eminent Observer Bornemann that it
would continue 10 rise.
The freeze feared tonight by farm
efs and truck gardeners Observer Bor-
hermann does not believe will mater.
ialite, as the indications are for a
moderation, instead OF fall in tenn
perature.
According to Observer Bornemsnn,
considerable damage has already been
done in this section to fruit, berries,
etc While il 10 not likely that the
damage has been very great, It has
been something, and today's sleet has
dona further damage. One cause of
the damage is the backwardness Of the
crops caused by the late Spring.
1t is claimed mp in the peach belt
of Kentucky that much damage has
been done there by the sleet and
cold. The peach buds hsc begun to
open everywhere, and during some of
the time there has in places been a
minimum temperature of % degrees.
II is estimated that the loss will pos
sibly reach thousands Of dollars.
What the people In this section fear
most, however, is injury to vege-
tables. They are already high, and
were today only beginning. to be-
come reasonable when the cold snap
came, Some of the vegetables have
been almost prohibitive in price, es
pecially when compared to the prices
which prevailed this time last year.
Southern vegetables shipped here
usually IN large quantities at this
season, are conspicuous by their alb
sence, almost. this year. While the
vegetables from the Southern market
are here in small quantities, they sell
at high rates, and the truck gardener
here will be unable to compete be-
cause the gsrdens have been retarded
by cold.
Even Irish potatoes have gone mp.
Two or three weeks ago potatoes that
went begging at 90 cents are now
selling for sl.25 the dealers are glad
to get them at sny price.
II will probably, however, be sew
eral days before il can be estimated
what the total dsmsge Will be.
Mr.. q. Cooper, OF Epperson, KY,
in q telephone message to The Sun to-
day reports very heavy fall of sleet
in that neighborhood and that the
trees and grass are sheets of ice. Mr..
Cooper is 60 years old but he never
before saw such weather.

Lincoln, Mob, April s0.-w. J.
Bryan last night gave to the press the
following statement concerning the
action of the New York Democratic
State convention;
IL do not think the instruction
will give Judge Parker any additional
strength, but the platform adopted by
the convention ought to prevent his
nomination, unless the Democrats
when they assemble at st. Louis de.
eide to attempt n confidence game on
the public.
