How q free Grows.

Both earth and air are required for
the growth Of a plant or tree. The
roots absorb moisture from the soil,
which, in the form Of watery fluid
called common sap, rises through the
fibers Of the last deposited annular
ring, traversing all the branches and
leaf stalks until It reaches the leaves;
there it undergoes a change by the
absorption Of carbonic acid from the
air. It then travels downward again
in the form of proper sap, just under
meath the bark, which is expanded by
the accession Of moisture and In the
cavity so formed a new layer of ma
terial is deposited which gradually
hardens and forms a new annular
ring. And SO. from absorbing the
moisture and minerals Of the soil and
the carbonic acid of the air the tree
goes on until 1t finishes its cycle and
dies.-NeW York American.

Chicago, Sept, 10, 1907. Within a
very short time there Will be no
need Of human telegraph operators
and it will be possible not only to
telegraph at the rate of 1 600 words
a minute, but have the messages
set up in type without the aid Of
machinist to oil the bearings. An
eastern man has Just invented and
perfected a device that will be seen
for the first time at the National
Business Show at Madison Square
Garden, New York. Oct. - to 10,
and at the Chicago Coliseum Feb.
1 to 6, that will perform these won
derful feats. Any ordinary steno-
grapher will be able to prepare the
copy for the machines and an cleo
trio motor will do the rest. This
device consists of several electrical
machines connected with an, telec-
trically operated linotype and will
prove particularly interesting to
newspaper publishers. When it is
desired to send message, a sheet

of paper is inserted in what appears
to be a typewriter in the usual man
ner. The operator writes doWnwhat
it is desired to send. The machine
writes it in the usual way, and at
the same time it perforates another
sheet of paper. If the machine is
in the circuit while the writing is
going on 1t will transmit the char
acters and set them up on the limo
type machine no matter how far dis
tant. If it is out of the circuit the
perforations are made and the copy
written. AS soon as this is COM
pleted the perforated sheet is put in
another machine. an electric moter
started, and at the rate Of 1000 words
a minute the message flies along the
wires. At the other end an accumu-
later receives it and calmly pro-
ceeds to set it up by electricity on
the linotype. This machine hasbeen
tested and proved to be a success,
and at the National Business Shows
will be connected up and operated !. NJ

what it was for, as there was nothing

A dozen passengers were gathered
around the breakfast table slipping tea

walled my neighbor, a girl, who was
about to eat a mouthful, replaced the
crust upon the table and folded her
hands. A woman cried silently. A

ARE UNITED.
Two Factions at Temple Shaarey
TfilOh Reach Agreement and
1t Is Up TO Rabbi SOChet.
HE CANNOT BE DISCHARGED

At a meeting of the First Perth
Amboy Hebrew Mutual Aid Society
yesterday in the Temple Shaarey
Tifloh. it was decided that the society
and the congregation Shaarey Tifloh
should remain together rs formerly.
The question of separating these bod
les has been the topic of discussion
for the past few weeks and the meet
ing yesterday was looked forward to
with interest, to see what the out
come would be. The fact that If
these organizations had separated,
the congregation would have dis
banded was the opinion of most the
officers of both bodies and that would
have been disastrous to both.
The question of Rabbi Sochet,
whose term expires next Saturday.
was not discussed yesterday, but Of
ficers of both the congregation and
the mutual aid society said this
morning that after Saturday, March
2, Mr.. Sochet will no longer be the
rabbi for that congregation. Mr..
Sochet still refuses to leave and what
will be the outcome remains to be
seen. According to the ancient law,
it is declared, a rabbi cannot be dis
charged, whether he has been hired
under agreement or not. Mr.. Sochet
was retained for a year under an
agreement which expires March J.,
and the people of both the society and
the congregation have made up their
minds that he will not be retained
for another year.
for another year. AS he refuses to
leave, the outcome is awaited with in
