HelIotrOpIanl.

Heliotropism is the peculiar property
shown by many plants, notably the
sunflower, Of always turning toward
the sun. In the case OF seedlings the
phenomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded In growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side. Professor
Romanes experimental with an inter
mIttent light, such as that OF an cleo
tic spark discharge, upon mustard
seedlings and found the heliotropic
effect produced In this way far greater
than that caused by the sun or any
other form Of light. Strange TO say,
however, this abnormal influence Is I'm,
accompanied by the generation Of
phlorophyll, the green coloring matter
In plants which requires sunshine for
its proper production.-Pall Mall Ga.

Lace making.

The birth Of lacemaking dates back
to the days Of Greek maidens who
watched the spider make its web and
copied the pattern with fine threads OF
tax. The art has developed TO the
point OF producing brussels point,
which is so delicate in texture that the
dryness Of the air makes the threads
brittle; therefore the makers Of the
finest kinds have to work In damp Gel
mrs. using magnifying glasses. On the
altar cloths and vestments Of the
church will be seen the most beautiful
Of the old rose point as It was made by
the nuns in their convent cells and ded-
Icated to the use OF the church. Every
one is familiar with the painting Of
Queen Bess, the Dress Lover" which
shows her with high rufiles embroid-
cred with seed pearls. The portraits Of
Queen Charlotte display this keenest Of
lace lovers In hoops Of balloon-like
lounces Of her priceless lace. Queen
Victoria preferred to lay away In laveu

A WARNING TO JUNEAU

A prominent gentleman Just arrived
from Fairbanks says that some OF the
leading men Of that section, in discuss
ing the interests Of the three natural
divisions Of Alaska, were unanimous IN
saving that the interests OF interior
Alaska are more nearly allied to those
of the Northwestern than with those oil
Southeastern Alaska; and further ex-
pressed the desire that Northwestern
Alaska would unite with the interior
on all matters Of interest to either sec
ton, as well as those Of common inter-
est to both. In plain words, q combine
for mutual and common protection and
advancement.
This is the natural and logicsl Sc
queuce of conditions as they now exist
The Northwestern and interior are
newer developed portions, while the
Southeastern part is the old, and was
generally considered, the only habit
sbleIpart Of Alaska During the time OF
the early settlement, Southeastern
Alaska spoke OF herself as Alaska, all
of Alaska; her wants we're the only
wants considered and granted, when
any wers granted. This became a
firmly fixed habit, so that today, hav-
ing the seat of government aud Oldest
developed mines, that portion arrogates
to herself still the right to speak for all
Of Alaska; that her wants are still the
wants Of all portions.-Nome Gold-Dig'
ger.
There should be a warning in the
foregoing 20 those Of Juneau who have
been using their influence to prevent
the application Of the American princi'
pies Of government to Alaska.
The populous Seward peninsula ant
Tanana districts are united in favor o.
territorial government. In their fgh
for that they will have the active assist
ance Of nearly all Of the Southeastern
Alaskan towns and they will get tina
for which they seek because it is some
thing for which Americans have ;
right to demand.
II the influence of Juneau in thi
fight shall be cast against that Of TIT
remainder of Alaska the result certain
ly will be a union between the SeconC
and Third judicial divisions that viii
make Juueau's influence nil in the new
territory.
The sooner territorial government
shall be established the greater will b
Juneau's opportunity to secure the cap
itsl Of the territory, and to maintain
its prectige as q community.

Oklahoma and favor separate statehood
for their territory decided upon sequo-

A Novel Experience.

We have heard or head.on coils.
ions, and collisions Of various kinds
by land and sea, some resulting in
great danger and others accompanied
with strange surprises. But the most
singular and amusing one Of recent
date was that experienced by Sam
Shears, Of Washington street, yester.
Iday afternoon. In coming from Main
street down To the suspension bridge,
he passed alongside Of the high stone
wall in front of the Mrs. Moose Elem.
ing and Christie residence. Just as
he emerged from behind the wall to
cross the alley, he suddenly received
a blow On the cheek and nose that
fairly stunned and blinded him for
the moment. He thought he had
come in contact with some mans fist
who was concealed behind the wall
in tho alley. After recovering 4 III.
tic from his dn2ed condition, he look
ell all about him. but not n soul was
near. He was absolutely alone. And
while thus bewildered ove his eX.
perience and wondering who or what
had dealt him such a stunning blow,
by chance his eyes detected towards
the ground, when 10! the mystery was
at once solved, for ut his feet there
lay a robin quiverinE rs II In tho
throes Of death. 1t doubtless had
been scared UP from the alley or q
tree back In the rear, by some stray
cat or dog, and thought to make It's
hasty escape through tho clear open
Ing OF the alley into the street, when,
reaching that point just as his face
emerged from behing the wall, the
two cane in collision. He lc|!:cJ
