Plant Like = Camel.

The nearest thing to a camel
among plants is curious specimen
of the cucumber family which bears
the name of the lbervillea sonorae.
This plant, like the camel, is a ma
tive Of the desert, and it has to go
without water longer than the ami
NAL. As the rainy season in the
desert comes only once year, ma
ture provides the plant with res
ervoir to store up enough moisture
to last it between times. The organ
in which the water is stored is To-
Gated at the base of the stem. It is
covered with sort of macintosh
envelope, through which the water
can neither escape nor evaporate.
This water holder rests on the sand
throughout the entire period of
drought, but when the rain comes it
springs into activity.-san Francis

turns and runs back again nearly

u Was Purely Executive, With No Au.
thorisX to Make Laws.
The senate of Rome, which was
an ancient institution, said to have
been established by Romulus him
self, was, a purely executive body,
having no authority whatever to
make laws. The senate of the Unit
ed States is almost purely legisla;
tive in its functions, having no pow
er to make appointments outside OF
the body itself, but only to agree to
those made by the president. And
this is largely formality, as it il
regarded as very discourteous
thing to refuse to confirm presi.
dental appointment.
The Roman senate as instituted
by Romulus consisted of 100 mem.
bers. An additional hundred were
added when the Sabines migrated
from Rome. The first Tarquin in.
creased the number of senators tc
300, at which number it continued
for long time. Julius Caesar in.
creased the number of senators first
to 700 and afterward to 900 mem.
bers. Augustus at first added an.
other hundred, making an even
1000, but afterward reduced the
number to 600.
Senators were supposed to be men
of special merit. They were at first
selected by the monarch, but the
duty was afterward intrusted to the
consuls and latterly to the censors

soundings in. the Caribbean sea
bring up really uncanny specimens
Of this. kind. Among them is a
fish that has two convex lenses in
place of eyes. These lenses are very
bright, of a golden hue and CLEAN
in. the sunlight. Another fish, a
large one, has eyes that grow on
stems sticking out several inches
from the head. Another has an
eye on stem about half yard
long. The stem is flexible and may
be waved in any direction. Some Of
the Caribbean sea fishes have eyes
that shine like lanterns.

A'YouTHFuL / HERO.
How Major croshan Won Fame In the
War of 1912.

Sv@s ~ sSsSS
Only few names escape oblivion,
but Aug. 2, 1913, insured lasting
fame for Major George Croghan.
Ninety-three years later; on Aug. 2,
1906, the remains of this youthful
hero were reinterred on the site of
his great victory.
During the war of 1912 Croghan,
a handsome, spirited Kentuckian,
was sent by General Harrison to
take command of poor little stock
ade, Fort Stephenson, at Lower
Sandusky, now Fremont, O. The
place was important only because
it guarded the approach to Harri-
sons headquarters and stores up
the Sandusky river
On the morning of Aug. / Gen
eral Proctor, the British COM
mander, with 500 regulars, veteran
troops who had served under We'll
lington on the peninsula, sailed up
the river in gunboats of Commodore
Barclays fleet and landed cannon
and howitzers, with which they be-
gan to lombard the fort. Mean
while Tecumseh, with 700 Indians,
swarmed through the woods and be-
gan the attack from the opposite
side. To one of less sanguine
temperament or of less courage than
the young commander the situation
must have seemed hopeless. But
Croghan not only showed confidence
himself, but inspired it in those un-
der him.
Croghan had 160 men and one
small cannon, which he moved
about from place to place to induce
the belief that he had several guns.
Late in the afternoon of the I'd the
enemy made a united assault. So
valiantly and effectively was it re-
pulsed that the whole British and
Indian force made a precipitate re-
treat into Canada.
ut will not be the least of Cen
eral Proctor's notifications" wrote
Harrison, ''to know that he has been
baffled by youth who has just pass
ed his twenty-first year. He is,
however, a hero worthy of his gal
liant uncle, General George Rogers
Clark"
Croghan himself wrote Just be-
fore the battle: s'The enemy are not
far distant. I expect an attack. I
will defend this post to the last ex-
tremity. I have just sent away the
women and children with the sick
of the garrison, that I may be able
to act without incumbrance. Be
/ shall, hope, do my duty.
The example set me by my Revolt
tionary kindred is before me. Let
me die rather than prove unworthy
Of their name"
The battle of Fort Stephenson
was the first really brilliant effort
of the war of 1912. General Sher-
man said it was 'sthe necessary pre-
cursor to Perry's victory on the lake
and Harrison's triumphant victory
at the, Thames, which assured to
our immediate ancestors the mas
terry of the great west, and from
that day to this the west has been
the bulwark of the nation"
For his exploit Croghan was bre-
vetted lieutenant colonel by the
president of the United States, and
congress awarded him gold medal.

TRAINING DIVERS.
The Way Science Helps These SUBJ
marine Workers,

The admiralty trains divers, and
every British warship carries al
least one representative of the craft
and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth
Davenport and Sheerness.
One of the difficulties with which
divers have to contend is probably
not realized by a landsman-name-
ly, that the greater the depth the
greater is the pressure of water on
the mans body and the greater the
labor and exhaustion of working.
The naval authorities limit their
men to depth of l20 feet. The
greatest depth to which a man has
descended is said by Siebe to have
been 204 feet, and the pressure at
that depth was extraordinary
namely, lightweight and one-half
pounds to the square inch. One
wonders how any human being
could stand II. Twelve fathoms, or
about sevcaty feet, would be enough
for most men. The ears and nose
would probably begin to bleed, and
the pressure on the head would be
very serious. A practiced diver can
of course descend much deeper
without such unpleasant sensations.
His dress costs more than 91OO.
It is of tanned twill and rubber and
made in one piece, with a big open
ing at the neck. The helmet is of
copper and screws on to the shout
ders so tightly that the water can
not penetrate the joint. Air is
pumped down to him by a pipe made
Of canvas and rubber, and outlet
valves, which only open outwardly,
are placed at convenient places to
permit the vitiated air to escape.
These valves are extremely impor-
tant, as by them the diver can reg
ulate his supply of air.
In addition to this pipe the diver
has life line, enabling him to
communicate with his assistants
above water. This was formerly
done by a series of concerted tugs
or jerks on the line, but that meth
cd has been superseded as a means
Of communication by the telephone,
the wires being conveyed by the life
line. He therefore touches the but
ton and talks as if he were in the
city.
Another great improvement is the
use of the electric lamp, though in
some West Indian waters a diver
can see clearly for some distance.
In other waters, again, the darkness
is intense twenty or thirty feet
down. The weight of the dress is
extraordinary and is necessary to
enable the diver to maintain his sta
bility. His helmet. weighs consid-
erably over quarter of hundred
weight, and his boots, taken to-
gether, weigh about as much, while
if these be not sufficient he claps
lead upon his shoulders.-London
News.
