SEEDS THAT co TRAVELLING
Often Attain Great Elevation and
Are Blown to Far Distant
Lands.

IT was an English astronomer,
". X. Davis, who first discov-
cred the true character of GER
tain objects. floating across the
field of the telescope, which had
been mistaken for meteorites.
says Saturday Evening Post.
He made a readjustment of the
focus of his instrument for the
near point, and found that they
were in reality seeds of various
plants-such, for example, as
the thistle and the dandelion.
Undoubtedly such seeds often
attain a great elevation in the
atmosphere, and are carried by
the winds enormous distances
which is exactly what Nature,
anxious for their distribution,
wishes. For this and no other
purpose the seed of the dande-
lion is provided with a tiny para
chute, by the aid of which ii
makes aerial VOYAGES, as does
that of the milkweed.
1t is really wonderful what in
genuity nature exhibits in such
matters. The poppy has sort
of pepper-dredger, containing its
seeds, which are thrown broad
east when the wind rattles the
dry stalk. or when some animal
knocks against it. The so-called
shooting cucumbers" explodes
when ripe, like a bomb, and scat
tiers its seeds far and wide.
Birds, of course. are great dis
trlbuters of seeds and so like
wise are water currents. But in
this line, perhaps, there is moth
ing more curious than the "sea

are carried into the ocean, and
the gulf stream fetches them
into Atlantic waters.
1T has been ascertained that
many kinds of seeds will bear
immersion in water for four
months, or even more. and still
retain their terminating power,
so that when thrown ashore they
are ready to sprout.

Bonn barded Farmer.

An Algerian farmer defied the
police and barricaded his farm
yard. Several rifle yollevs were
fired at his place in the hope of
terrifying him. AS this appars

quick-firing field gun and nell
mite shell were brought into use.

wasted on corpse. 1t is per-
haps the first time that the po-
lice have tried heavy artillery on

WHY WE DO SOME THINGS
1t Is Certainly Not Because We APP
pear to Advantage When
Doing Them.

A man does not take off his
hat TO a lady because he looks
nicer without it, declares Gilbert
Chesterton, in the Illustrated
London News. The instance of
bald men would be alone suffi-
cient to upset such an explana-
ton.
He does it because YOU must
positively do something when
you meet lady or your whole
civilization goes to pieces; and
taking off your hat is easier than
taking off your necktie or lying
face downward on the pavement.
The primary point is that you
must do something; not that YOU
must do something beautiful.
And as long as cultivated people
cannot grasp this fact they will
find their efforts quite futile in
dealing with what they often
consider the dullness of the mid
die classes, or the yulgarity and
morbidity of the poor.
In so far as the bourgeois
thinks it more important to wear
Sunday hat than a becoming
hat, he is perfectly right. 1t is
more important; the religion of
the tribe is more important than
the pretty appearance of Mr..
Jones.
In so far as the charwoman
thinks it more important that
her husband should have
proper funeral than pretty
funeral, she is perfectly right
Ii is more important; decorum is
as permanent human senti-
ment as art, and a much more
pressing one. Any healthy saw
age would understand the char
woman's sentiments exactly, and
perhaps alarm her with demon
strations of barbaric approval
He would also understand per-
fectly the sentiment of Sunday
hat. / believe in savages myself;
! think that in a great many
matters they represent the en-
during common sense and moral
minimum of humanity. There is
nothing which | so sincerely re-
spect in savages as their wide
spread and generally ascertained
disposition to wear top hats.

Japan's Millions.

Recent figures on the popula-
ton of Japan make the total
about 100000 more than that
of the British isles. Toxic has
about 100000, Osaka 100000
and there are 20 other cities with
more than $4,000 each. How
ever, in making comparisons it
must be remembered that Eng
lands sons are scattered through
out her colonies. The British
empire the world over now has
a population of nearly 100000
000.

Always Cool.

1t is not shade alone that
makes it cooler under tree in
summer. The GOODNESS of the
tree itself helps. for its tempera-
ture is about 40 degrees Fahren-
heit at all times, whereas that of
the human body is fraction
more than 9S degrees. A clump
of trees cools the air as a piece
of ice eools the water in a
pitcher.

Due to Salt.

1t is not generally known that
salt has determind. to a consider

man. He was forced to settle
where he could obtain it. This
brought him to the seashore. and

Again, preservation of food by
salt made long VOYAGES possible,

a photograph has been used in

Swoboda, the head of the fac

Laporte, Ind, April 27.-The anti
DarrOwites in the council last night
finally passed. over the objections of
Mayor Darrow, an ordinance taking
from him the power of appointing the
standing committees of the council.
For two hours the council and mayor
battled over the ordinance, the mayor
and his followers using every endeavor
to break the combination effected by
five democrats and three republicans,
but failing. Mayor Darrow characteriz-
ed the proceedings as illegal. and
overruled every motion made, and
when an appeal was taken from his
decision the council refused to sustain
him. The council elected Alderman
Scott, democrat, temporary chairman,
but Darrow refused to give up the chair
and Scott was forced to preside from
his seat.

rails are based on the ties that bind
together all the truth that there is con-
cerning this latest undertaking of the

The American visitors. whether on

the train at Colon. enter the first-class
coach. from which the negroes are eX-

Isthmus of Panama. EnrOute they see
