Paris, Nov. %. - The Academy. Of
Science yesterday heard Professor
d 'Arsonyal describe artificial yege-
tables, which he exhibited. They were
produced by the methods of Professor
lie Due of the Nantes Medical school.
Professor d 'ArsonVal did not say
whether his so-ealled vegetables were
edible. Altho they are, described as
vegetables, they have nothing vegetable
in their makeup. But they behave at
ter their. production as do the real veg,
etables they resemble under natural
conditions. Professor LIE Due makes
seed in pill form of one part sui

This is deposited in a bouillon made Of

The seed develops sometimes on the

depths, and finally gives birth to plants

KEEP A FAMILY RECORD.
DIN ctlt Often Even with 1t to Prove
Ones Identity.

Ones Identity.
Parac0xical as it may seem, the
most difhcult thing to prove In court Is
who you arN, says the New York World.
1t Is simpis matter If you have still
living plenty Of relatives Of an older
generation, but suppose your parents
and uncles and aunts are dead, it be-
comes well nigh impossible. As mat
ter of fact your knowledge Of your
Identity is absolutely hearsay. You
know your father and mother called
you their son, and to that fact you may
testify If the question of your Identity
should ever come before a Judge and
jury. But the testimony goes before
the jury with the warning from the
judge that it is only hearsay, for you
have no personal knowledge Of the
matter.
Official town or parish records are
Valuable, but by no means conclusive
Suppose you are John Smith, son of
Robert and Mary Smith, born at Al
bany, on Aug. 1, 1865. The records Of
births In the bureau Of vital statistics
at Albany will prove that son named
John was born to Robert and Mary
Smith on that date; the register Of the
church may prove that John, son of
Robert and Mary Smith, was baptized
on certain date but they do not prove
that you are John Smith of whom
these are records.
To establish the connection between
you and the person mentioned In tho
records, In other words, to prove your
own Identity, Is the difficulty. II your
mother Is alive, she can do it; II any
relative who has known you since you
were born Is alive be can do it.
The successive suits for the estate
Of A. T. Stewart failed on grounds such
az these. The plaintiffs. cousins Of the
late Mrs. Stewart, were unable to prove
their relationship 1t was necessary In
one Of these cases that man should
prove his late father and A. T. Stewart
to have been brothers, but he had no
personal knowledge of the matter; he
had heard his father In Ireland refer
the court would not let him testify
even to that and, as the defendants
denied the relationship, the case fell
to the ground
Very often 1t Is necessary to success
In litigation over an estate to prove not

with the records therein help out In

as corroborative, but it requires quite

least some witnesses who can testify
Of their own personal knowledge, be-

work on Diseases Of the Memory"
tells Of man thirty years Of age of
considerable learning and acquire
ments who was found at the termina-
ton Of a severe illness to have lost the
recollection Of everything, even the
names Of the most common objects.
As soon as his health was restored he
began to acquire knowledge like a
child. After learning the names OF OBJ,
jects he was taught to read and after
this began to learn Latin. He made
considerable progress when one day In
reading his lesson with his brother,
who was his teacher, he suddenly stop.
ped and put bis hand to his head.
What is the matter? Don't you feel
well?' asked his brother.
II feel a peculiar sensation In my
head" he replied, "and now it seems
to me knew all this before"
Strange to say, from that time he
rapidly recovered his faculties and
could never understand how it had
been necessary to teach him reading
and writing when he was thirty years
OF age and proficient. in both.
