FoUR.LEAF GLOVE.
Amsterdam Professor Has Become an
Adept in the Art Of Controlling
Work of Nature.

Four-leaved clOvers may be
grown in abundance on lawns or
in flower beds. The raising of four
leaved clovers has been made pos
sible by Prof. De Vries, of Amster-
dam, who has found a plant
bearing six or seven four-leaved
clovers, capable of being trans
planted. He first sowed them, and
since then he has had new gen
GRAFTON each year. Each time he
chose his seeds from a fourth of
the best plants; that is, from
those which had the most four or
five.leaved clOvers. 1t was the
third generation which began to
be rich in the desired form of leaf
let's, but only with four and five
leaflets, and these only in the adult
plant. During August and Sep.
TENDER of the same year he re-
marked a very few with seven
leaflets. At this point he reduced
his selection to a severe standard.
He chose for his progenitOrs only
those plants having twOthirds of
all their leaves with four or more
leaflets. But he had discovered 4
curious fact that much simplified
his selection from then on. In
sowing clover one may observe
that the first leaf of each young
and subsequent leaflets have reg
ularly three leaflets. This knOwl-
edge made it possible for him to
make his selection much more
quickly. He had only to choose
the young cloyers with compound
leaves and transplant them from
his glass house to his garden,
leaving the others to perish. Thus
he did not need so many hundred
individuals as before, though each
year he still selected some thou
sands of seedlings from their sow
ing pots. At last, after eight
years of effort, the new variety of
clover came into existence. OIL
this crop nearly all young plants
had their first leaf compounded,
and all, with few exceptions, were
five leaved.

WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY
Salt Diving in the Dead Sea Survival
of Ancient Industry-Work
Near Jordan's Mouth.

There are in the Holy Land but
few industries and these of the
most primitive kind, says the
Technical World The awful des
OlatiOn of the Dead sea, however,
which lies nearly 1900 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean is
broken here and there by the salt
divers, whose work is probably as
ancient as the human race itself.
From remOtest antiquity the salt
of the Dead sea has been collected
and brought to the Jerusalem mar,
ket, where it is used for curing
hides and for domestic purposes
Dead sea water contains over
% per cent. of solid substance, of
which seven per cent. is chloride
of sodium, or common salt. 1t is
chloride of magnesium which
gives the water its horribly bitter
taste, while the chlOrdide of calci,
makes il feelsmOOth and oily to
the touch, so that after the very
curious sensation of bath in the
Dead sea, the skin retains an Oily
sensation.
The Dead sea contains no living
creature; sea fish put into its wa,
ters speedily die. Not a single
boat navigates its strange waters
nor is there any sign of life, save
the isolated parties of salt divers,
who scrape and slowly amass their
precious glistening heaps of crys-
tai near the mouth of the Jordan.
When sufficient cargo is made
ready a long string of camels
crosses the desert; and the salt is
loaded up into panniers or "shwer.
ries," and taken into Jerusalem,
where it finds a ready market.

oRIoIN OF rHE HAT ZANE.
Reasons for tho Plume on the Left
Side and Buttons on the Coat
Told by Lecturer.

Wilfred Webb, at a meeting Of
the Windsor and Eaton Scientific
and Archaeological society in Lon
don, recently spoke interestingly
Of the evolution of dress.
From prehistoric drawings it
would appear, he said, that our
early ancestors were clothed with
hair and had little necessity for
artificial covering. Judging from
primitive races at the present day,
clothing was not frst adopted as Il
protection from the weather.
Just as the zoologist learns
much concerning the ancestry of
animals from the little features
which survive in their bodily
structure, so can the history of
dress be evolved. Starting with
the hat, it was shown that the hat
band can he traced to a filIet which
held in shape a simple piece of
cloth. Sometimes this fillet was
tied in bow behind, the tails Of
which survive in the Scotch cap,
the sailor hat and the bishops
mitre.
a little bow inside the lining
of the hat is the survival Of a lac
ing which kept the lining in shape,
or possibly takes us back 10 a time
when hat was made by putting a
string through holes in fat piece
of leather, and, by tightening it,
producing a crown. The plumes in
hats are on the left side because in
early times the adornments were
so big that they would have seri-
ously interfered with the use Of
the sword if worn on the right.
The helmet of the fireman is prac-
tically identical with those worn
by the ancient Greeks.
The large white collar, such as
Milton wore, is still in smaller
form worn by the clergymen who
preach in Geneva gowns and by
Bluecoat boys. Buttons on coat
sleeves point to a time when coats
were very costly, and it was Gus
tomary to turn back the sleeves so
that they should not be soiled.
Mr.. Webb also discussed the
origin of the two buttons on the
back of the coat, and said he could
find no satisfactory reason why in
European countries the buttons on
mems clothes should be always on
the right side and those Of the
women on the left.
The possible connection be-
tween the ornamentatiOn on mod
ern boots and the openwork shoes
of the Romans was pointed out.
The fact that a "clock' means Il
"gusset" suggested that the orna
mentation which we know by the
former name may have been orig
inally intended to hide the joins in
stocking when it was made from
pieces of cloth.
