PLANT PGCULIARITIES.

No plant will produce flowers unless
there Is iron in the soil in which II
grows.
All plants are provided with flowers.
though sometimes these are so small
and so hidden as TO escape notice.
The bleeding heart according to an
eastern legend, originated In the drops
or blood which fell from Christ's side AT
the crucifxion.
Every flower that has perfume Mt
all secretes volatile oil, the eyanora-
ton of which constitutes the peculiar
odor characteristic of the blossom.
The smallest flower known to tho
botanist Is said to be that Of the yeast
pant It's microscopic in size and Ia
said to be only one-hundredth Of n mill

According to the poeticaI idea of Ca

Teaching is essentially 4 giving of
oneself for others, daily dying that
others may live. and yet renewing
ones life again that there may be
more to beStow the next day. No mat
ter how obscure and modest the place
may be where one Is ut work, if its op-
portunities are only utilized In the
right spirit il may be n center from
which the mankind Of the future draws
strength and health The JOY Of the
teacher is that his ideas. his plans. his
dreams, live on in his pupils. Others
may jealousy guard their possessions.
The teacher takes pride in the album
dance Of his gifts. He does not talk
about patents and copyrights. II
pleases him TO see his pupils give body
to his thoughts and derive pleasure

rule, are of the right spirit. 1t would

almost wholly TO drawing rooms.
A room for the use Of the en-

The Engineering Department.
of the University was established
In 1874, but the constant increase
of numbers in the classes of the
departments has neceSSitated their
movinginto more spacious quarters
three times since their founding.
The departments this year have
total enrolment of nearly six hum
dred students, and 4 teaching force
of forty. The new quarters which
will be occupied this fall are believ-
ed to be the finest and most COM
plete laboratories of their kind for
instruction in engineering.

Can Eat Their Boots.
Shipwreckel persons have been kept
alive on the most rcpugnant and I'M
wholesome OF foods. Probably the
hardest fare that six strong men and
a boy OF fifteen ever kept alive on was
the daily menu OF the WindsOrs sur
vivors, who were cast up on the Irish
coast near Killegg. They lived for six
teen days on stewed rope yarn.
When they took the ships small
boat they had water enough for n
month, but only n small amount Of
provisions. These lasted four DAYS.
After having nothing at all to eat for
the following two days they tried
boiling lengths Of tarred hemp rope
into pulp and swallowing il.
They had keg Of parafIin wax,
which they boiled to ado to the nour-
ishment The sickness they expert
enced as a result OF the diet. saws
What to Eat was only temporary, and
they landed in comparatively good
health.

but takes from the nourishment OF the
boots. A few ounces of leather, being
very hard to digest stay the stomach
for fifteen or twenty hours.
a diet Of boots and shoes is one of
the cOmmOnest of last resource foods.
and, though it is hard for a well fed
person 10 imagine that any one could
masticate and digest the leather, a
pair Of long sen boots will keep a man
alive for fortnight If he has little
water.

nothing with which to make a fire as q

any shellish, as there was no beach.

days on cold raw seaweed washed ND

The best known and most useful of
starvation acts for wrecked or cast
away people, however, is that Of bar
nacles. Three Englishmen and a crew
OF lascars who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North Star
kept themselves going for more than
week on barnacles, and only two Of
the crew died
The worst of this diet is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps

New Engineering Departments at
University Of PENNSYLVANIA

The opening of the new building
for the Engineering Departments
of the University of Pennsylvania
marked an epoch in the history
of engineering education in Amer
lea. Six foreign governments APP
pointed representatives to attend
the formal dedication on Friday,
October 10, 1906, and more than
one hundred American scientific
institutions and universities named
delegates. Mr.. Frederick w.
Taylor, the president of the Society
of American Mechanical Engineers
and DR.. Alexander G. Humphreys,
the president of Stevens Institute
of Technology, delivered the prin-
cipal addresses, and Provost Har-
risOn conferred honorary degrees
upon twelve distinguished en-
gineers.
The building dedicated is the
largest of the seventy buildings
now occupied by the University of
Pennsylvania, having a frontage
of 800 feet and a depth Of 2lO feet.
The cost, including equipment,
was almost one million dollars. 1t
Is of fire-proof construction, and
the equipment is of the most mod
ern and approved type. The ex-
terror is of dark brick. with lines
stone trimmings, and while the

and in accord with the keynote
given by the dormitory build
ings and later University halls.
it is in a quieter vein. There are
three stories, with a basement
covering a third of the entire build
ing, the total floor area being 1885,
900 square feet. The heating is by
direct steam; the ventilation by
electrically driven fans, and the
lighting by electricity. The steam
for the engines is supplied from
the central station of the Univer-
sity, and after being used by the
engines, is sent into the heating
system of the building. There are
two principal entrances leading to
the main hallway, which extend
east and west the entire length of
the building to staircases at both
extremitles. Two large light-wells
terminate in skylights over the
main floor. The basement contains
lockerrOoms, lavatories, machinery
for heating and ventilating, storage
battery rooms, laboratories for
geodetic and hydraulic work, and
for the testing of the materials of
construction. On the first floor.
adjacent to the main entrance. are
the offices of the departments.

western part to the Mechanical
