Flowers That Possess Eyes, Though

They May Not See.
The night hath thousand eyes, but
. nasturtium leaf has more. Holding
up his hand in front of desert shrub,
IN experimenter has taken a micro
photograph showing half dozen dis.
tinct images Of his fingers formed by
the eyes Of the plant. Many common
garden and wild flowers-the nastur-
tium, begonia. clover, wood sorrel and
bluebell among others-possess eyes
situated on their leaves. They are mi
mute protuberances filed with trans
parent gummy matter which focuses
the rays Of light on to a sensitive patch
Of tissue at the back of it In similar
manner to that In which the eyes Of an
animal do their work. A common mas
turtium plant has thousands Of such
eyelets on its leaves. forming thou
sands Of minute images of the objects
around them. But, though a plant may
have eyes. 1t does not follow that it
sees. It Is not yet known If the sense
Impressions are telegraphed to some
central nerve exchange corresponding
to the brain Of the animal In addition
to these light sense organs many plants
possess touch Of sensitiveness and a
response to electric stimuli that show
further resemblance to the animal
world, while ferns, mosses and sea-
weeds In an early stage Of their ex-
1stence are capable Of actually swim

Two country women, mother and

FAIRBANKS DEFEATED.

Charles w. Fairbanks, Vice President
of the United States, was defeated yes
tetday at Columbus, Ind, for dele
gate to the quadrennial conference Of
the Methodist Church, after one of the
most bitter contests that has ever been
waged in religious assembly.
The temperance lsymen, many OF
them long associated with Mr.. Fairbanks
in the church, refused to cOndone what
they regard as IN o6eDse against temper
auce, and the distinguished candidate
went down because of having served
cocktails AID three kinds of wine at the
dinner given to President Roosevelt on
Memorial Day at the Fairbanks home.
There we're eighteen candidates for the
seven places, and it was given out that
the Vice President would head the dele
CATION by being selected by reclamation.
TIE motion, however, to select MIR.
Fairbanks by reclamation was defeated
by decided msjority, ard it was de-
c'ded to elect delegates by ballot.
1t required 81 votes to elect, and on
the first ballot two candidates were
chosen. Mr.. Fairbanks received but 70
votes.
On the second ballot two other candi-
dates we're chosen, and the Fairbanks
vote fell to 65. On the third ballot he
received but As votes, on the fourth AZ
votes, and on the fifth 80 votes.
The constant falling off 10 the Vice
Presidents vote discouraged his friends,
and when the result of the fifth ballot
was announced, his name was with
drawn, friend making the statement
that the Vice President had not been
a candidate in any sense of the word,
but that his friends thought it would be
an honor to him aud the church to send
him asa delegate to the quadrennisl
conference

Investigating Standard OIL.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Were the re-
cords of the iiquidating trustees of the
Standard Oil trust burned in 1900 after
the rev organization took chsrge?.
This question was asked today by per-
sons closely connected with the govern
ments suit to dissolve the hundred mil
lion dollar corporation, and there is a
growing suspicion that the correct an
swer will be in the affirmative.
At the examination today John G.
Milburp, when asked If the books still
exist, said: 81 know nothing to the
contrary" But he would say nothing
more.
Kellogg desires the missing books
more than any other evidence. He be-
lieees that from them he can show that
the monopoly has been continued with
out break through sll the outward
