Animal and Plant Allies.


An interesting instance Of the man
ner in which insects sometimes assist
the growth Of plants is furnished by
the history Of climbing plant which
grows in the Philippines. At an early
stage in it's career the plant, which.
like other plants, begins to grow from
the ground, sewers its connection with
the soil and thenceforward lives with
it's roots attached to dead bamboo
canes. 1t develops, in addition to other
leaves, certain pitcher shaped leaves,
into the cups of which it sends Sec
ond set Of roots. A species Of small
black ant frequents the pitchers and
incidentally carries into them minute
fragments Of decaying wood and leaf
mold, from which the roots derive a
constant supply of food for the sup
port Of the plant.

SITUATION STRAINED
UNCLE SAM MAY BE COMPELLED
TO USE FORCE IN DEALING
WITH VENEZUELA.

Washington, Jan. 21-The informa.
tion respecting the situation at Ca.
racas received by the state department
from Minister Bowen in cablegram
Of Thursdays date is to the effect that
President Castro has made a PROPOSE.
tion for the settlement of the asphalt
claims and other issues between the
United States and Venezuela of a ma.
ture that makes it impossible of ac-
ceptance by our government and, be.
ing notified of that fact and having left
the capital for an indefinite period, he
has terminated the negotiations at
least for the time being The effect of
this action is to place the relations be-
tween the United States and Venezu-
ella under a decided strain. However,
there is no intention on the part of the
administration to act with undue haste
and though it is now almost certain
that some action of compulsory ma
ture will in the end be forced upon
our government this will not occur
until every resource of diplomacy has
been exhausted.

Southern Manchuria.

The st. James Gazette says: 'The
rainy season in southern Manchuria Is
not so bad as 1t has been represented
to be. Residents of long experience
state that while there are days in
which heavy falls Of rain take place
there are not many consecutive days in
which torrental rains are experienced.
When really heavy downpour Of rain
Of some hours duration occurs it IS al
most invariably followed by three or
four weeks Of splendid, dry, bracing
weather. There is no finer summer eli
mate in the world than that of south
ern Manchuria. The temperature in
the shade Is seldom above 88 degrees. +"

Grny cues Hard to Find.

"Look around during your next ex-
ploration of Chinatown" says close
observer, land see If you can find any
Chinaman with a gray cue. I have
seen gray haired Cinnamon all right
and one or two with fuzz on their
faces which might by courtesy be
called boards, but gray cue never. A
good deal Of the average cue is all
make believe anyway, several inches
of the end Of 1t being composed Of
black braid.
II have always suspected that there
was more or less false hair about 1t,
too; but that is of course matter that
cannot be determined by casual inspec-
tion. Such Cinnamon as 1 have seen
with gray hair have had black cues.
It may be, however, that the ends Of
the cue, instead of being false, are
dyed" Record.

THE POWDER WORKED.
An Invention That Proved Too Much
of Il SuCCcAN.

of II Success.
a certain inventor once hit upon the
happy device of desiccating eggs. He
turned dozens and dozens of eggs into
n powder that you might carry in a
pill box. All you had to do when you
wanted an omelet or Il scramble was to
drop pinch of the powder into water.
A teaspoonful Of the stuff would swell
up to fiji quart tin. and half cup
full would be enough for the meal Of
company on the march. Now, this in
ventor by diligent effort succeeded in
making himself known to great man
in European country, n man who
moves armies by the crooking Of a
finger, so to speak. The great man
was delighted with the desiccated egg
scheme, and box Of the powder was
sent to him so that he might try it on
the army. Fate, however, dccreed
that it should be tried on the dog. 1t
lay open on the great mans study ta-
BILE, and there the dog nosed it out.
He licked up the powder, an amount Of
it that forty conscientious hens could
not replace with months hard la
Dor, and lie liked the taste Of it. 1t
made him thirsty, however, and he
swallowed nearly gallon of water to
assuage that thirst. The powder i'm
mediately began to do what it was ex-
pected to do when water struck it,
and before the eyes Of the great man
that unhappy dog swelled up and
swelled up till his seams gave way.
Just forward Of the port beam he
sprang leak. This is perfectly true
story. The poor dog actually burst.
That particular invention has never
been recommended to the war Office

CALM AT THE CAPITAL
ORDER RESTORED At ST. PETERS.
BURG BUT RIOTS ARE Ex.
PECTED At MOSCOW.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2B.-St. Peters.
burg will be declared in a state of
siege Wednesday.
General Trepoff, until recently chief
of police of Moscow, has been appoint
cd governor general of st. Petersburg
and has taken up quarters In the win
ter palace. Strangely enough the
only precedent is the case of General
Trepoffs father during the reign Of
nihilistic terrorism under Alexander
I. and 1t is also a strange coincidence
that unsuccessful attempts were made
upon the lives of both. General Tre-
poff is man of great energy. but the
measures he adopted at Moscow for
suppressing student demonstrations in
December last provoked much resent
ment and the revolutionists recently
condemned him to death.
The aspect of the Russian capital is
decidedly more calm. Business, which
had been at complete standstill, has
been resumed upon a limited scale.
The employees in few small factories
went to work Tuesday and the crowds
Of strikers in the streets we're dimin-
ished. The troops in evidence were
not SO numerous as on Monday and a
more confident feeling.exists In official
circles that the energetic measures
which have been inaugurated will Oh.
sure the safety and quiet of the city.
There will be big demonstration
in Moscow Wednesday and 1t Is feared
1t will be accompanied by bloodshed.
The situation confronting the military
authorities at Moscow Is much more
serious than at st. Petersburg. Out
of over 100000 Inhabitants Of Mos
cow, over two-thirds are workmen, in
oluding an exceedingly rough and
turbulent element. The troops there
are fewer and the city does not lend
itself, like St. Petersburg, to natural
barracks to prevent congestion of men.

An Odd Record.

The late Miss Julia Moore, Sir John
Moore's niece, like many very old peo-
pie, was extremely proud of her age
and lost no opportunity Of showing it..
When she was asked by a friend If she
was going to see the coronation Of
King Edward VII. she answered: mo.
I have been out Of London for the last
three coronations, and don't care to
alter my record" What an exaltation
one must feel at being able to say a
thing like that!

filing of briefs, the principal conten-

the effect will be to cause review of
