Desert Plants.

Plants Of the desert, as rule, pos
sess few leaves, the cactus, for In
stance, being mostly spines. There is
very good reason for the lack Of
leaves in desert plants. The object is
to check the TRANSPORTATION Of moisture
by offering as small surface as pos
s1ble to the dry air. For the same rea-
son the roots of desert plants usually
run deep into the soil so that they can
suck up all the available moisture. In
some instances the leaves assume a
vertical position and thus avoid the
direct rays Of the burning desert sun.
On the other hand, the leaves Of trees
In very wet countries are provided
with points such as the maple from
which the rain drops off. Were the
leaves fatter the rain would collect
and make them rot.

Nobody Ever "at" London.

A case Of irregularity occurs in a
cablegram that announces from New
York the residence Of a certain ac-.
cused person "at London" You will
perceive at once the absurdity Of those
words-"at London" A New Yorker
may want to get at London, but those
who live there live Sin London And

The OYSTER and the Cookie.

If the average person were asked
what was the strongest living thing it
IS probable that he would name the
ion or some such huge denizen of the
forest and would not even think Of the
1nassertive bivalve. But so great is
he power possessed by the oyster that
% open it a force equal to 1895 times
The weight Of it's shell-less body is re-
luired. The shell~less limpet pulls
1854 times it's own weight when in the
air and about double when measured
n the water. The Mediterranean coo.
kle Venus vurrucosa) can exert pull
ng power equal to 2,O71 times the
weight Of its own body. If the human
being possessed strength as great in
proportion as that the average man
would be able to lift the enormous
weight Of 100000 pounds, pulling in
he same degree as the limpet. And if
he man pulled in the same proportion
ate degree as the cookie he would sus-
tain weight Of no less than 3, 1O6, 500

Somewhat Simple.

A rather simple countryman had
been induced to promise a fine hen Of
particular breed in exchange for
what was said to be a fine rosebush.
When the rosebush was brought, it
turned out to be nothing else than a
sprig with little root. The country
man grumbled, but the other said that
he only had to wait a few years and it
would be fine bush. He then claim
ed the hen. The countryman went to
his fowl house and brought out an egg.
"That is not the fowl you promised
me-" said the other.
mo-" said the countryman, "but you
have only to wait year or two and
it will grow into a fine fowl."-Scottish
American.

Iceland From Lava Wall.

The general impression that Iceland
is cold country is false one, says a
writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk-
javik, the capital of the island, one
day perched myself on one of the lava
walls and looked at scene Of summer
warmth and beauty. Familiar cows
and cats and hens were busy in the
sunshine. Children, thinly clad, were
playing about with shouts of merri-
ment. Potatoes We're in full blossom,
and cabbage and various vegetables
added to the sense Of homelike comfort
But such days are GASES in vast deserts
Of rain, for if Iceland in summer is
not cold it is not comfortable:

He Held Up tho Train,

A German traveller who tried to pass
meal ticket on the train was told by
the conductor that he would have to
pay the regular fare of So cents. The
German argued and refused to pay
more than 25 cents, whereupon the con-
ductor stopped the train and put him
off. In twinkllng the traveller ran
ahead of the engine and started to
walk on the track. The engineer blew
his whistle, but the irate German turn
ed, shook his fist and called out: "You
can vissle all you want to. I Won't
come pack"

In a German Law Court.

A German law court was the scene
lately of an amusing incident. The
magistrate, tiresome and long wind
ed person, was deciding small case
in which the plaintiff claimed damages
for abuse. ITO call a man pig or a
dog" replied the Judge, "is certainly
an insult, but to say that he is a pig
dog is offensive, for no such animal
exists" The plaintiff glared at the
bench. ''Schweine-Hund!' he remark
ed, with bitter emphasize. P.'s Lon

The Venerable Pioneer was seated
in an armchair in front of a Topeka

near Blue Rapids to attend to some
business which kept him on his feet
all day, and now, as fast fell the
evening tide, he was too weary~.to
