Souvenirs of a Criminal Career.

A bedroom papeIe1 with the flags or all nations is occupied by an artist who has a hankering for oddities. Ev- cry nationality under the sun is rep resented by the colors on the walls. and the effect upon person when first entering the room is somewhat dag zling. Those flags" said the artist, "represent a career of crime which has extended over the entire world. In fact. 1 am an international thief. Whoa toured Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia some years ago with two other fellow artists we each boaSted of our ability in 'pinching, towels from the hotels at which we stopped. The fellow who got the lowest number was to pay the passage of the other two back to this country. 1 came in first by managing to collect POT towels, many of which came from world fa- nous hotels.

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right in the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere, and therefore. for the sake of consistency. it may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re spectively "clock wise" and "counter clockwise." which latter can be short. ened to "counterwise." The honey suckle and the hop turn "clock wise" while the convolvulus and the scarlet runner bean twine "counterwise." EX- periments made by growing scarlet run ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis cover whether the deviation of the twist was innate or merely from the direction of the light disclosed the fact that the plant possesses an inclina ton resembling the instinct of animals, of proceeding in a given direction, and resents any attempt to force it other wise.
