Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called "plant stones" encounter ed now and again in certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur und Natur, con tains stone very similar to the opal, but on account of the rarity with which it is found it is much more costly than the opal. In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau tiful greenish pink scntillating stone has been formed from the minute parti- cles of siliceous deposit that imparts it's intense hardness to the outer GOV ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the interior of some cocoanuts a stonelike secretion is found that is not inferior in brillancy to the most beautiful gen. uine pearl.

Wonderful Builders.

A personal inspection of the pyra= mids made by an English quarry own CT led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone in the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw stone the estimated weight of which was 800 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thirty feet in length and fitted so closely to- gether that the blade of penknife could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them. There is no machinery, he claims, so perfect that it will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as the stones in the pyramids meet.

 How Frost Affects Plants,

Plants do not freeze to death in win ter, but perish from thirst. IAe proc ess is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming ice crystals out side of the cells The frost, cooling and contracting the surface, acts as q sort of pump, and as soon as the cell is -emptied of its life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary tQ cause the death of yegetation: Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point is reached, Many plants will survive zero weather, and some die only at 20 degrees be- low. Certain vegetable growths never freeze: There gre gre forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid air, the intensest cold available, come out of their bitter bath as clipper and live ly as eVer-Chcago Tribune. ~....

WOULD RUIN
 CANNING INDUSTRY

Regarding the proposed change in the classification of canned goods,
 whereby railway classification com mittee designs to raise the miainlu.p carload of canned goods to 3S.o00
 pounds, from 3o,G0O pounds as a, present, to take effect July 1st, Friend 'F. Wiley, secretary of the Yves eri. Packers Canned Goods Association, says: q would advise that canners in the western territory take up the
 matter with their division freight superintendents, with the request that they notify the classification commit
 tee that the proposed change would
 be ruinous to the canning industry. I also urge that canners act upon this change would be very hard on buyers
 who make their purchases in carload lots, basing such purchases on cars containing 300 cases or tomatoes or
 750 cases of corn, which is an ample purchase to fill their requirements at one time This is a matter of the most importance to every fruit and vegeta- ble packer, and calls for the immedi- ate attention of all. l hope there will be a shower of the most vigorous sort of protests eManate from the mem-
 bers of the Western Packers Canned Goods Association as well as from packers who are not members of that organization. We stand to lose by
 this proposed change, which would
 be a hardship both upon ourselves and our customers, many of whom are not buyers i'll blocks of several thous- and cases"

|NORDICA'S NEW
 TEMPLE OF MUSIC

New York, June 13.-Mme. Lillian
 Nordica is busily engaged in Europe
 in perfecting her plans for the estab-
 lishment of her gre2t project, Bay
 routh Festival on the shores of the
 Hudson. The probable location of
 this realm of music is on the Hudson between the Croton Reservoir and the
 Hudson river, where tact of twenty
 acres has been purchased By the sing CT. Mme. Nordica can furnish a large share of the funds necessary herself but she has enlisted enough people in the project in this city and ln other parts of America to make the securing of the funds sure thing. Upwards of a million dollars will be eXpe1de1 altogether, and beyond this endow-
 ment will be furnished sufficient fund= to carry along the enterprise oa as. the lines designated il } satisfactory shape, so that the best results will be obained. As the Nordica Festival House will be erected on the slope of
 a natural amphitheater the throwing back of the roof will give a large hearing space to those in attendance, so that a very large audience may be
 accommodated in the open air. Wag-
 ner opera will be given the first year
 Mme. Nordica will herself appear in
 many of her favorite roles, but there
 will also 5e a mixture of the other schools of opera, for the reason that educational features of the institute are to be made as comprehensive as
 possible.

A Frog of Peculiar Habits.

South America has frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests at the tops of the highest trees. it chooses as site for it's nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds to line it with resin procured from trees in the neighborhood. This lining serve: to catch and hold the rainwater, wit,i which it quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo de. velopment into tadpoles. How the re sin is collected is mystery. nor is ii yet known how the separate pieces be come welded to form the water tist. basin necessary to insure the safety Of NeH treasures deposited therein.

Blond Indians.

0n( of the mysteries of Mexico is presel0ed by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains ill the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them There is tradition, however, tha these Indians are the descendants; o1. the crew and passengers of Swedish vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than d folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago.

You may remember when you fabricated your sewing machine. type writer, lawn mower or grindstone- within year, probably-but your watch you never oiled, that you can remember. Yet in period of eighteen months the balance wheel turns on its axis 13,096, ,SOO,OO0 times. Expert watchmakers say that watch should be thoroughly cleaned and oiled every eighteen months. Many persons wear a watch for years, winding it up each night, and never oil it. Watches are instruments of uncertain age; some run indefinitely, keeping accurate time without need of repairs. AS matter of fact, nothing f; so neglected as this small, delicate and useful instrument North American.

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE.
Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof of Deafness Ais.

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill, was passenger on a Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to a couple of clerks who were
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite high pitch, says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
if any one was listening to the talk
of his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence of the dignitied
justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake, lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf also" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark IL IS i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same, q
calm smile fitted over his face at

.Ruches That MAY
Be Made at Home

There has been this autumn de-
cided reversion to severity plain ef-
fects in the hats and gowns for street
weag, and with the introduction once
more of long leg O mutton sleeves
on the tailormade coats, stiff collars
and Numbered ties and plain turned
down coat collars have been once
more adopted, while soft net ruches
have been quite done away with.
There is, however. a short time every
spring and fall when it is necessary
to wear some light boa or ruche
about the throat, and yet fur or even
any prettier piece would be too warm.
A net or lace ruche is always Seces-
,ary possession, therefore, and, indeed
with revers tailor coat light ruche
will often give just the necessary
touch to make the jacket becoming.
The newest ruches are totally unlike
all those that have been in vogue for
some years past, and perhaps for that
very reason are extremely pretty and
becoming to almost anyone. These are
made of heavy fishnet bordered with
a full little ruche of Chantilly lace,
and instead of standing up stihly
about the throat are cut WITH rather
the effect of a cape, and fall down fiat
over the shoulders.
Instead of being more intricate than
the former style of ruche-as would
appear to be the case at first glance
these ruches are in reality quite with.
in the possibilities Of home manufac-
ture. The principal point to remem-
Der is to provide plenty of material,
for when the first stiffness and body
leave-which unfortunately happens
almost at once-there must be left
sufficient net to stand up we'll and not
look poor and skinny. Four yards OF
the net and yard and a half OF
Chantilly lace are ample material, and
then four and half yards Of one inch
satin ribbon will make rosettes and
streamers to finish off the ruche at
tractively. The ruche, which consists
of five pieces or capes of the net,
should be eight inches in width in the
center OF the back narrowed off to
four inches in front, and the curved
satin band on which it is made should
be twenty-four inches in length

Neck Bows Worn
by School Girl

To the school girl the neck bow Is
wardrobe, for usually 1t is the one
piece of finery which is permitted her
during school hours, and there Is
more opportunity to select what is be-
coming in the tie than in most Of the
other items of her everyday ward
robe. Just at present there is quite
variety in permissible neck ties for
the school girl, and she may rejoice
in bright colored silk or fine embroid.
cred ties, as suits her taste.
The jabot effect, which have be-
come so fashionable for women's wear
are not worn by young girls. The turn
over collar, embroidered or otherwise,
which the girl wears, looks best with
bow tie having short ends
Girls to whom the severity of the
style is becoming are wearing plain
string ties in silk with pointed ends
and made short. so that the bow is
quite small. The tie is usually in the
color of the suit, or, of course, if the
waist be colored or embroidered in
colors matches that as closely as pos
sible. There are also white linen
string ties which have the ends en-
broidered in white and colors. Dark
blue is especially attractive on these
white ties.
Girls to whom the plain string tie
is not becoming are wearing full bow
ties Of rather small size. These are
not so much made of plated silk as
they were. Instead the bows are made
of sheer linen, there being no loops,
but four ends-two ends each way.
The ends are finished in broad points.
The lower pair of ends are usually
edged with narrow lace and the upper
pair embroidered with French dots
in color or tiny flowers in blue, red
or pink. Some of the bows are made
with four ends all of which show the
upper left hand end having colored
butterfly embroidered on it and the
lower right hand end another butter
fly.
There are great many Windsor
ties also being worn with turnover
collars, both with the high and low col
lars. For some occasions these are
very attractive but most girls find
them not so trim looking for regular
wear as the sitter bows. For wear
with soft silk waists and embroidered
collars there are small pleated bows of
net and lace The pleated net bows
are also embroidered in colors.

Striped TWeedS,

The ingenuity and skill of the cut
tiers have been taxed to the utmost in
arranging the stripes in the fashion
able black and gray and shaded brown
and gray striped tweeds which are
being utilized for so many of the au.
tumn and winter hip-length coats and
costumes. Among these there is a
representative model of semiftting
front fastened with double rows of
mohair buttons amid cords the same
color as the stripe in the material.
Collar and cuffs are either perfectly
plain and finished with stitching, or
faced with plain cloth. but on both
small buttons give a decorative finish.
With all of the coats and skirts tail
ormade is worn a neat shirt made
either Of the new plaid, fancy surah
or coarsely woven wash silks, finished
with a neat silk stock and single fold
linen turnover collar. Plain and fancy
waistcoats, as well as black satin EN-,
broidered collarless vests, will be
worn in conjunction with the en-
broidered linen habit front which was
the fashion some 25 years ago.
