of the international council of the
Interparliamentary union and resulted
in it's being recast as follows: eff a
disagreement should arise which is not
included in those to be submitted to

On the resumption of the sessions
Of the conference of the interparlia-

mously adopted after speeches by for
mer Austrian Minister of Commerce

Baron D'Estournelles de Constant
head of the French delegation, subse-
quently opened the debate on the limi-

He declared that if the powers were
undecided among themselves how to
act for their common interests, they
would be forced to do so, first by
bankruptcy and then by revolution.
He said that limitation Of ornaments
had no connection with the chimera
of disarmament. The arguments
against disarmament were based on
the augmented expenditure of the
powers.
A resolution was agreed to in prin-
ciple, urging that the question of dis
armament be placed on the program
of the next peace conference at The
Hague.

The Caserta GameIlin Tree.

\ In the days of Its glory the palace at
Caserta of the king OF Naples had
among Its features so called English
garden, made In 1852 by order Of Marie
Caroline Of Austria. It was bright with
flowers and wonderful rare oriental
plants and trees, so that it was re-
nowned throughout the world, but the
crown and glory of all consisted In a
camellia tree, a plant then unknown
In Europe. The seeds were collected
as though fakes Of gold, and the queen
used to give them and cuttings Of this
camellia as presents to her friends,
These cuttings were most highly priced,
md thus 1t has become European
flower, SO much SO that the exporta-
lion of camellias is an extensive indus
try In central Italy, and in Germany
there are vast fields of them. In its
palmy days the Caserta plant had eight
branches, the largest Of which was
twelve inches in diameter, the whole
being thirty feet high. This mother
plant was in a fl0urishing condition up
to few years ago, but lately the gor-
geous garden has been allowed to fall
into decay, and with it the glorious
camellia. Pail Mall Gazette.

Three kind. of Lightning.

The ,Etruscans of old believed that
there were three kinds Of lightning
one incapable of doing any injury, an
other more mfschievous In its character
and consequently only to be issued with
the consent of quorum Of twelve
gods, and third carrying mischief in
it's train and for which a regular de-
cree was required from the highest di-
whites in the Etruscan skies. Curl
ously enough, modern scientific men
agree with the view that there are
three kinds of lightning, but their.vari-
cites difcer from the Etruscans.$ The
first is known as forked lightning and
runs in zigzag lines, the second as sheet
lightning, because it is seen in a body,
and the third as globe lightning, as it
sometimes runs in the shape Of ball.
The latter variety Is rather slow in
moving.

Birds Have Favoritc Plants.

Like man, birds have their favorite
plants. It has been discovered that the
goldfnch is pass:onately fond of apple
blossom. This maybe because its ia
vorite building site is in the lichen
covered forks Of apple trees, but apart
from such attachment the bright little
finch frequently spends hours tearing
the petals into tiny fragments. Though
the nightingale never builds in the
thorn boughs, it loves to sing on may
laden branches. often in the very midst
Of the fragrant blossoms. It is some
what peculiar that most birds avoid
the COW parsnip, owing. no doubt, to the

very often build in less secure places.

it is, is left severely alole.--London
