THINK PLANTS HAVE EYES.

Scientists Thus Explain Why They
Seek to Avoid the SUMS Glare.
Plants are by no means so stupid or
so helpless as they commonly get cred
It Tor being. No matter how a beech
happens to be placed in the ground,
the root will turn down and the stem
grow up into the air and there manage
somehow or other to find its way to
the nearest support.
Especially remarkable is the beha-
vior of vegetables toward light. House
plants, as every one knows, grow in
the direction Of the window, but II the
pot be turned halfway round the leaves
win nevertheless manage to screw
themselves back into their old posi-
ton, and the sunfower will rubber
round" all day long so as to stare at
the sun. In temperate countries leaves
grow at right angles to the rays OF
light to get as much Of 1t as possible !;
In the tropics they set themselves
edgewise to get as little.
Evidently, then, plants come at least
as near seeing as do some animals.
Pretty much all that has been known
about the matter, however, Is that they
attend only to the blue rays of the
sun; for though they will grow per-
fectly well In red or yellow light they
show not the slightest inclination to
turn toward 1t.
A German botanist, Haberlandt, who
for many years has been studying these
problems has concluded that the whole
upper surface Of each leaf Is q sort of
compound eye. The thin, translucent
skin which In most plants covers the
green, succulent tissue Of the leaf is
itself, In certain cases, composed of
innumerable rounded cells. These,
thinks Professor Haberlandt, are so
many minute lenses which concentrate
the light upon the living substance be-
low and enable the plant to distinguish
between light and darkness, or be-
tw cen weak light and strong, though
not, Of course, to see objects. Such
primitive lenses he finds In the fig,
ivy, magnolia, wood-sorrel and other
plants. Certain plants, like the pepper
and the balsam, have In addition little
eye spots which in structure approach
the eyes of many Of the simplest ami,
mails and appear, in a sense. to be real
eyes.
At any rate, plants do act as II they
could see and Professor Haberlandt has
found that each of these supposed sense
organs can be made to print bright
spot on a Photographic plate.-Col

AL BOX TO HOLD THE RATIoMs.

A major commissary Of the United
States army has devised a ration box
especially for use in the field by in
fantrymen and others whose occupa-
ton makes it desirable to carry sub
sistence on the person. 1t is also well
adapted for use by prospectors, camp
ers or foot travellers generally. The
object Of the inventor was to so con-
struct, assemble and dispose the com
ponents forming the equipment on the
,wearer that the movements of the
body, arms and limbs would not be
hindered or interfered with, and the
load would be distributed on those
parts of the body best able to with
stand the strain.
In the illustration the pack is shown
disposed upon soldier. In campaign
work it is of prime Importance that
soldiers equipment shall be such that
he can personally carry sufficient sub
sistence to support him in full vigor
for a reasonable time, and that this
subsistence shall be so carried as to
conserve as far as practicable his vital
force and strength. 1t is further desir-
able that the equipment shall be such
that it may be quickly and certainly

Novel In the Extreme.
In highly dixerting discussion that
followed the reading Of a paper pub
lished in full in a recent issue of the
Journal Of the American Medicel AS
sociation) on ITO What Extent Are
Teeth Necessary to Civilized MenY' DR..
Eugene L. Talbot made the startling
assertion that dentistry, owing to I'M
cleanliness in the insertion Of bridges
ETC., has as much to do with disease as
any other one thing. He claims thai
the collection of germs about an i'll
fitting crown is more detrimental tc
man than no teeth For years DR. Tai
bot has believed that man can get along
without teeth. Men have lived to nine
ty to 100 years of age and have been
without teeth for fifty or sixty years
One assertion Of the doctor is well
calculated to arouse the apprehension
of the reader. Methods of preparing
food to-day" says he, ''do not require
mastication and the jaws show in the
evolution of man shortening up, de.
cay and loss of the teeth due to disease
and as evolution advances it will be
seen that man can get along without
teeth. Loss of the teeth due TO inter
stitial gingivitis is marked illustra
ton of the fact that the teeth are pass
ing"
"In regard to bacteria in the mouth, y
DIR. Talbot concluded, there is no ques
ton that modern dentistry is doing
more to injure the teeth and the all
mentary canal than any one thing
The filthy condition of the mouth I'M
der bridges and crowns is certainly not
conducive to health"
DR.. G. v. /. Brown said that the ami
NAL economy gets along better with Z
good, full complement of teeth than il
does without them. He declared that
the mere fact that the chemist has pre-
pared artificial food that can be digest
ed'without mastication is no argument
against the use of teeth for masticat
ing purposes. "They have been obliged
to do this to help out the people with
out teeth or the people who are toe
lazy to use their teeth" Or. Brown ex-
pressed his opposition to the idea that
we can get along without teeth. 1--WE
can do 1t, but only with the greatest OF
care in the preparation OF food"
DR.. NJ. I. Schamberg supported DR.
Talbot in the view that the time may
come when the people will be able to
get along without teeth

Three Chicago Bar Proprietors Must
Pay Drunkard's Children $i7.5oo.
A jury Holds Them Accountable For
the Ruin Of John HedIund. to
Whom They Sold Liquor.

Chicago. Because t'.eir father, 1t is
declared, was ruined by drink, jury
in Judge Tuthill's court returned a YER
dict of S17,50O in favor Of the five
children Of John Hedlund against three
saIoonkeepers.
The defendants are Oscar Geyor, Err
nest Thoren and Louis LundQuist.
According to the story told In court
until five .ears ago, when he is said to
have first begun the use of liquor.
At that lime he was en- Logged as a
carpenter, with an income Of $500
year. The children, Mary, fifteen years
old; Esther, eleven; Gurner, eight;
Waldo, five, and Carl, two, were pro-
vided with comfortable home, the
older ones attending school regularly.
One evening the father failed to app
pear for supper. and when he came in
several hours later he staggered
against the door. The younger chill
dren cried with fright, while Mary,
the oldest, assisted HedIund up stairs.
From that time the carpenter Is said
to have continually frequented the sa-
looms owned by Geyor, Thoren and
Lundquist. He lost his position, and
the children were brought to the at
tention Of Miss Caroline Blinn, a pro-
baton officer.
Miss Blinn appealed, without avail,
to the liquor dealers, begging them to
stop selling liquor to Hedlund or to
the two older children, who are said to
have been compelled by their father to
purchaie beer for e.im.

of the she'll, permitting the contents to
be removed with ease. The device
consists of two bands which are hinged
together at one side. Each band is
made of spring metal or other resilient
material, with the ends overlapping, SO
that it may be expanded or contracted
by a pressure of the hand, thus adapt
ing it to various sizes of eggs. Each
band is also provided with spring
fingers to hold the egg, and with a
spring arm on the side onnoslte the
hinge. These spring arms terminate
in cutter blades, which pass through
slots in the bands. In use the two
bands are swung apart to admit the
egg, and then they are closed upon it.
The device is now held with band
in each hand. The spring arms ara
pressed inward, making two incisions
in the shell and then before releasing
the spring arms the bands are swung
apart, breaking open the shell. AS the
egg is being broken open it should be
inverted to permit the yolk to drop
into the glass. and then the two parts
may be held in the hand as illustrated,
leaving the other hand free to remove
