Sweet Potatoes.

Nix. EDITOR:
Will YOU or some Of your SCI
entific readers state in your
Journal whether sweet potatoes
will mix, when two or more VA.
rieties have been planted in con.
tiguous rows. II is claimed BY
some OF my farmer friends tina,
they will mix. and the different
varieties will change more OF
less. contend that no change
can be expected IN plant life, ex.
eept through the seed proiuccd
from blooms. Would like Ia
have the matter discussed.

The Deodand.

Deodand Qatin, Dec dandus, to be given to GOd) was formerly in English law any agent or instrument by which a person was accidentally killed and which for that reason was to be given to God-that is, forfeited to the king to be applied to pious uses and Its value distributed in aims by his high almon' CT.
 Thus kind of eXpiation was ar ranged for such fatal accidents as might be due to the fall of a ladder, the toss of bull or the heavy wheel of a cart, when the victim was, with out any fault of his own, deprived Of the last sacramcnts of the church. The right to these deodands, which were abolished in lS46, was frequently granted to individuals or annexed to lands.
 They are mentioned in "Hudibras:

EnqIIsh rrison Fits.

Prison pits were vaults in which criminals in England were kept at night, chained together. There was one at Bristol which was in use as late at 1915. Down eighteen steps, it was only seventeen feet in diameter by nine feet high, and seventeen men were consigned to 1t every night Even more typical was Warwick jail pit which was occupied at least until lI91. It was an octagonal dungeon twenty one feet in diameter and almost nine teen feet underground. In the middle was cesspool, and beside 1t ran a stream of water which served the pris- oners for drinking purposes. To this awful cell forty-two men were con signed every afternoon at S:4S, to re main there until after daylight the fol lowing morning. The inmates had to sleep on their sides, and their tailer never visited them without guarding himself with an antidote against sick ness.

rhre. Methoa, of perI.Ion.

There are very few allusions to storks In Latin authors, but one or these is interesting. The birds have a curious custom of snapping their bills making quite a sharp noise Young and old birds, both during and atter the breeding season, constantly do this. In the writings Of Perslus there is a reference to this habit. There are, he says, three favorite ways of derld' ing a man-by putting the hands be- side the head like asses ears, by put ting out the tongue like a dog and snapplng the fingers against the palm of the hand like stork's bill The first two methods of mockery are plain but what was the cause of the last'- Notes and Queries.

A story of Tennyson.

Dante Rossetti used to tell story Of Tennyson, with whom be was walking one sultry summer night through High Holborn. They passed building bril- nantly lighted up and from which is- sued the. sounds of joyous music. "What is that placer asked the bard. "It Is called" replied RosSetti, "the Hol- born casino" "I should like to look in," pursued the bard, "only should be at once surrounded by a crew Of groundlings, who would mob and pes ter and jostle me" "AIy dear sir, quietly remarked Dante, If you were to get on one Of the tables, announce your name and reclte three of yom poetic masterpieces into the bargain probably not 2 per cent of the audi ence would have the slightest idea oi who you are"

The snakes tongue proves to be a most remarkable organ. A student finds its chief function is connected with a sense of feeling without touch and may be a finer development of the sense that enables some people to avoid striking obstacles in the dark. The forked tip and the numerous folds be hind It greatly increase the surface ex- posture. The cells of the epidermis are interlaced by a network. of extremely fine nerve ibers, which center in deep nerve plexus beneath the epider' mis and extending out into the folds.
