A Wonderful Plant Family.

There is a family of microscopic
plants called diatoms which swarm in
all oceans in every cline. They are
coated with pure silica, or flint, and
are found in the most delicate and love
liest forms. So tiny are they that it
takes Al .OOO. 100000 Of them to fill a
single cubic inch, and 1S6,O0O,O 900 TO
the naked eye would just look like a
speck of dust and weigh only grain.
They multiply SO fast that within for
ty-eight hours one may become 5000
600 and it's offspring fill two cubic feet
in four days. AS they die they sink to
the bottom, falling in constant show
er. In the course of ages they fill up
harbors, the deposits formed of them
being many miles In extent and hun
lreds of feet in thickness. The deep
est deposit known is that on which the
city of Berlin stands, which is eighty
four feet thick. At St Petersburg
there Is Il deposit Of thirty feet, and ut
Richmond, Va. is one of eighteen feet.

An Odd Wrestling Match

The extraordinary custom OF wres.
tling for bottle prevails at Hallaton.
In Leiccstershire. England. where the
villagers have TO brace themselves for
action on Easter Monday in order to
retain possession OF a plot OF ground
left to them in the good old days. The
bottle IS n large wooden one, bound
round with iron rims. and contains
ale. 1t is thrown on the ground that
the men of the neighboring village Of
Melbourne may try to wrest II from
the inhabitants OF Hallaton. When the
battle is over, the victors drink the
contents. The same bottle has done
duty for nearly-half century. AS a
preliminary to the great struggle, two
meat pies and two dozen penny loaves
are scrambled for.

The superiority of those men who
keep their tempers in public bodies is
SO apparent that coolness should be
one OF the first virtues to be cultivated
there. The discreet member will re-
gard public life Of this kind as n
school for such Il purpose. There are
trials for nervous or impuisive men
often in these positions, but a part of
their tactics must be TO resist them 81
they are to have hope of success. Moth
ing can be clearer than that il is for
their interest to do so. The debater
who keeps cool is sure to have his op-
ponent at n disadvantage. The cool
man is usually a master of sarcasm,
which Is an effective weapon IN an.
noying an adversary. but a dangerous
one also, because there is always the
temptation to carry 1t too far. The
men who have the widest influence
are the good natured men. whose words
leave no sting behind them.

The young Of falcons and hawks are

the time they are strong enough to pull

to them 1t is one long course Of instruc-
ton. The old birds know perfectly
well what the young ones will have to
do, and they get them fit for doing 1t
as soon as they can. They compel them
to take longer flights day after day
and teach them how to stoop-that is,
strike at their quarry. One or the 9TH

young hopefuls. Then the morsel Is
dropped from the clutch. Down they
dash for 1t, and the one that makes the
quickest stoop secures the prize before
it reaches the ground. When the old
birds think the young can fend for
themselves, off they go. This is not a
case Of choice, but necessity, for they
are simply cuffed and buffeted of. So
