Plant Which Stores Water.
From Chambers Journal


Some curious plants are under observation
at the Carnegie Institute. They are mem
bers Of the cucumber family and are
known as fbervillea sonorae. The natural
habitat of these plants is the desert, where
a rainy season coming but once a year fur
nishes the only moisture with which the
growth can be produced. To meet this
condition the I. sonorae produces an organ
for the storing of water at the base Of the
stem. 1t is covered with kind of mackin-
tosh envelope, through which the water
cannot escape by evaporation or otherwise,
and all through the dry season this curious
organ lies on the hot sand unchanged. AS
soon as the rainy season commences roots
and shoots are produced rapidly, fruit and
seed brought to maturity, and then the thin
stalks wither and the replenished water
container rests for another year. number
of these storage organs were collected In
1901 and placed on the shelves of the Car
negie Institute. Every year about the time
of the occurrence of the rainy season in
their native deserts these curious plants
throw out little shoots, which die back
again for lack of encouragement. The
plants have been doing this for five years.
and apparently there is still water enough
left to carry them on for several seasons
more.

Butterfly Gardens.
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
The enhanced beauty which even half a
dozen butterflies will give to a flower bed Is
too seldom realized. For this reason 1t was
to many Of us a profound disappointment
when such complete failure attended the
London county councils attempt to fill one
of its parks with these fairy visitors. The
cause of the failure-about which your
writer seems rather In doubt-was simple
enough. By a really extraordinary error Of
judgment the carefully reared specimens
were let loose all together. The bright
cloud of color instantly attracted all the
sparrows in the vicinity and they swooped
upon the newly liberated butterflies, and
forthwith demolished them. In the same ar
ticle comment is made on the disappearance
Of certain of the rarer species; but Is 1t not
a generally accepted fact that butterflies in
general are becoming woefully scarce? Ger
tanly this is true of the northern districts
round London. where they used to be abun-
dant. If this is so 1t would be good to know
whether the causes are removable or could
In any degree be counteracted.

PAPER HANGING IN PANELS.
Latest Method Of Wall Decoration
Handsome Imported Papers.

The better sort Of wall papers, imported
to help make the American home beautiful
are hung in panels. The arrangement Is
good from an artistic point Of view, pre-
senting a series of framed decorative pic
lures. The infinite variety of decorative
effects to be thus obtained is apparent to
the skilled designer, while the simplicity of
execution must commend itself even to the
amateur who Is disposed to dispense with
the services Of the professional decorator
French and English wall papers. con-
ceived and carried out or. the lines Of the
classic decorative periods. are all intended
for use In panel form, being complete in
design, without the necessity Of frieze or
border to produce finished effect. A large
variety of the foreign wall papers are
matched by linens, taffetas, chintzes and
cretonnes, 30 that an entire room may be
decorated and upholstered without change
OF pattern or coloring. For the drawing
room are used papers Stimulating a velvet
surface. or showing the design in relief Of
SILK or smooth satin. With them are used
holdings of gflded wood or nodded carton
pierre, the wall spaces around the panels
following in color the door and the window
Trainings or having a metallic treatment in
gla zed aluminium or gold leaf.
Dining rooms paneled in French tapestry
or Japanese leather papers may have the
hardwood holdings suggested by the wood
work. while holdings in leather effect
showing metallic nail heads are sometimes
employed with excellent results
When Japanese grass cloth or the
Korean splint cloth is used for the sake Of
a plain effect on the walls of a library or
music room. panel holdings, indicating
conventional treatment of the bamboo and
colored in agreement with the woodwork
are appropriate: 'Haffs hung with land
,scape papers, are most effective when the
panels are shortened from the lower ends
to give a. wafnscot effeet, grass cloth or
sprint cloth being used on the larger plain
surface :.
For the nursery or. playroom. as it is
sometimes necessary to remove the wall
decorations for the cleansi ng or removal
ton Of the room. the panels had best be
in the form of detachable frames.

HEREDITY IN PLANT LIFE.
It Is Expected Crop Improvement
Will Result.
From Harper's.

From Harpers.
The general principles of heredity formu-
lated by Mendel give much promise in the
way of crop improvement through more
systematic methods of breeding 1t is be-
lieved by many biologists that Menders law
offers in part solution to some Of the per-
picking problems in plant and animal i'm
provement 1t Is too early, however, to pre-
dict what benefits can reasonably be ex-
pected from Its application. This law at
tempts to reduce to mathematical basis
the characteristics of the progeny of plants
and animals: a certain percentage having
the individual characteristics OF each par
ent; and a certain percentage the blended
characteristics of both parents. 1t Is not
too much to expect that the proposed law
with notifications will do much to place
the science of plant-breeding upon ration
al basis.
In the case of corn, sareful selection Of
seed has resulted in the production of
plants which have a tendency to produce
an additional ear, thereby increasing the
yield 10 to 25 per cent Also ears Of larger
size and more uniform character are Sc
cured by breeding and selecting the seed
corn. One Of the best examples of the i'm
provement of crop by selection and breed
ing is the sugar beet which has been de-
veloped from the common stock of garden
beets that contain only a small amount Of
saccharine material and are unsuitable for
the manufacture of sugar, until high-grade
beets containing 16 to Is per cent of sugar
are secured.
