At Stivichall, near Coventry, may
be seen church that, among English
churches, at all events, possesses the
unique distinction of having been
built by the unaided efforts OF one
man alone. The name of this per-

John Green, stonemason, of Coven-
try, who laid the first stone in 1910
and completed his self-imposed task
seven years later.

How plants See

An interesting theory of the, mech
anism by which the direction of incl
dent light is perceived by plants has
been put forward by G. Haberlands, a
German botanist. He believes that
the epidermic cells are, so to speak,
the eyes of the plant. Thus, accord
ing to his view, when light strikes a
leaf at right angles to the surface it
results from the plano-convex form of
the epidermic cells, that the inner
wall of each cell is illuminated more
brightly in the center than at the peri
phery. This makes it possible for the
leaf to orientate itself in regard to
light. Thus, suppose the plant to be
moved so that the light now strikes
the leaf obliquely, the bright patches
of light on the inner cell walls will no
longer be central. This change may
be believed to constitute stimulus
calling forth curvature of the leaf
stalk by which the leaf is. brought
again to it's normal position at right
angles to the incident light Thus
the leaf moves when the bright patch
is not central and comes to rest when
each of it's epidermie cells is centrally
Illuminated.

glad that they are free. They regret

property. My purpose in this ad-
dress is to maintain the integrity. the

judice and hatred against the slave
holder-those whom l have proven

Justice melted to them.
The generation that fought the war
that settled the question, was not re-

slavery. They inherited it. They
found it engrafted in the Federal Cor
stitution. 1t was protected by Federal
legislation. In the heroic struggle
made by the South, she vas only on

justly her rights. Should the slave
holder be condemned in view of these
facts, simply because such a fabrica-
tion as the exceptional extravaganza
of Uncle Toms Cabin" was possible?
AS l lave said, the future of the
negro is an unknown quantity-and
an unsolved problem. Before the war
for the most part he was c%ontented
and happy, obedient and religious, in
d~ustrious, though superstitious. He
was made to work, but well fed and
clothed, and carefully protected. For
ty years have elapsed since he was
given his liberty. Today the old ex-
slaves comprise the best portion OF
the race. Notwithstanding the fact
that his Northern s~ympathizer has
had access to his gigantic, but neg
lected intellect, the masses are steep
ed in ignorance, poverty and vice.
They largely make up the criminal
calendar, fill our jails and peniuentia-
