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 a 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 scintillating stone has been formed from the minute parti- cles of siliceouS deposit that imparts it's intense hardness to the outer caH. ering of the cane The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the interior of some cocoanuts stoneiks secretion is found that is not inferior in brilliancy 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 1t will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together In unison as the stones in the pyramids meet

How Eros. .A4acta Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death ia win ter but perish from thirst The pro-. ess is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant. forming ice crystals o.t. side of the cells. ,fhe frost, cool,aS and contracting the surface, acts as ! sort of pu,np, and as soon as the ce,t fs emptied of it's fife giving fluid tha plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments. Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary 10 cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killei 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 are forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid air, the intensest cold available, come oGt of their bitter bath as chpper and live ly as ever.--Chicago Tribune.
