ers, their bodies become busted with
the pollen; then as they chance to
visit a plstilate flower, some Of the
pollen is bound to he left upon the re-
ceptive surface Of the pistil. This In
plants is known .as pollination.
The pollen grains have the power
OF germinatton much like a grain OF
corn. The end of the .plstil Is moist
so that the grains soon -germinate and
the germ tube finds It's way down
through the pisul to the immature
seeds which 1t enters and gives
up a portion OF its protoplasm. This
process Is known as fertilization.
AS a rule 1t may be stated that no
fruit OF any kind can be produced
without this process Of pollinataon and
fertilization. Fertilization incites the
immature seeds into growth. and this
OF course, causes the parts which sur
round them. as in the case Of cucum-

The Fruiting Of Cuclmbors.

Not few people are puzzled by the
/ behavior Of cucumber vines In the
gardens and complain that although
the vines are blossominE full. little or
no fruit sets. A number of inquiries
of this nature have already been re-
ceived at the Colorado Agricultural
College Experiment Station this year.
The reason for this iS as follows:
There are two kinds of blossoms upon
the cucumber vines, as we'll as upon
number of other plants of similar
nature. The first blossoms to set, and
by far the most numerous throughout
the life of the plant, are what are
known as male flowers. These are
imperfect in their makeup. for the
reason that they lack the pistil, or
that part from which the fruit and
seed are formed. but 1t bears an abun-
dance of pollen which Is necessary to
the development OF the pistil of the
pistlate flowers.
The other. or piltilate flowers.
sometimes called the female blossoms,
are produced later in the season and
are also imperfect, for the reason that
they usually lack stamens. but are
provided with a pistil. The pistilate
flowers can readily be told, because
there is a miniature cucumber at its
base, even before the bud has opened.
Now, in order to produce fruit, 1t is
necessary for pollen from the stami-
nate blossoms to be transferred to the
pistil of the other class OF flowers.
When grown In the green house, the
work of pollination must be done by
hand, but out of doors, there are al
ways insect visitors enough to per-
form this important work. In fact,
this is one of natures provisions by
which cross-fertilization OF plants is
effected. Insects of many and various
kinds visit from blossom to blossom,

RHAPSODY ON GREASE

Food has a vital effect upon our
eat we think. Beef when prepared for
eating contains from 10 to Is per cent
fat, which is simply stored up heat.
Fat burns in the human body like
fire in the CRATE. Imagine the cond
ton of a man these midsummer days
who has eaten large quantities of
meat. He goes out into the sun where
an outside temperature of 80 to 100
degrees beats down upon him, with the
atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds
to the square inch. Inside of him the
fat he has eaten is burning at ter
rife rate. Add to this the heat of any
alcohol he may have drunk, and the
result is veritable human volcano.
The mere conditions are enough to dis,
order any brain.-New York World.

A PARTY INNOVATION
National Committee Selects Representatives
to Lobby in Washington in Behalf of
Reform Observation-Disclosures
and O'Brien in the Capitol

WASHINGTON, D. e., December 13-( Special
correspondence 1.-The Prohibition party is about
to adopt distinct innovation in party work and
is to be represented officially in Washington by
two gentlemen who will devote their time to
what is commonly called lobbying These are
FINLEY c. HENDRICKS, Esq, member of the
national committee from Maryland, and the Hon.
MATTHEW E. OBRIEN late Prohibition candidate
for governor of Connecticut Mr. HENDRICKS
abilities as constitutional lawyer are widely
known, and Mr.. O'BRIEN is "a fighter from awav
back"
The work which these men will do for the
Prohibition national committee, under the direc-
ton of National Chairman JONES, will relate to
the pushing of such measures as the bill forbid
ding the transportation of liquors into Prohibi-
ton states, and the bill forbdding the issuance
OF federal liquor tax receipts to law-breaking
lquorsellers in Prohibition territory.
National headquarters at Chicago will issue an
appeal to the Prohbitionists of the country to
flood the Congressional mails with petitions in
behalf of reform measures and it is understood
that the national bulletin will make it clear that
the resort to petition is not intended to super
sede regular party work 1t will say
Meanwhile, although the Prohibition national
will focus all their energies to aid in this great
struggle to secure reform "by petition the Pro-
hibition party will not bate one instant in con-
tinually striking the same unanswerable keynote
of its everlasting campaign thunderingly empha-
sized in this present situation: The only way
for the people to achieve what they want and be
sure they are getting what they ask for, is to
elect men who will first of all represent them,
and who will not need to be cajoled, and plead
with, as we'll as being petitioned begged and
entreated, as special condescending favor, to
enact this reform measure and that, but who will
make it their first business to do it. because they
were elected a platform frankly pledged to
champion the rights of the people rather than
those of the successful grafters who may control
few votes
Indeed here is one of the most astonishing of
situations in political annals-while the whole
nation is throbbing with an unprecedented tide
of enthusiasm and intense conviction on the
Prohibition issue, Congress, and the President no
less, sit idly at their posts of duty apparently
nerveless and unimpressed waiting like auto
nations, until the people, en- masse, shall go down
upon their knees and set the legislative wheels
moving by as humiliating supplicaton subjects
ever addressed to either tyrant or despot."

EMPIRE STATES FIGHT FOR FAIR PLAY
Officials Compelled Count Prohibition Votes That Had Bee
Decentralization Officers Defy Court Order and Appoint
Democrats Where Prohibiionists Are Entitled to Office

Headquarters Bulletin 1.-The fight in the courts
for the rights of the Prohibition party in New
York state, instituted by State Chairman PITTS,
is going merrily onward, and already two of the
four battles have been The fights at
tracing much attention from the papers in all
northern New York, some giving as high as
column per day to it.
The Oswego county board of supervisors,
thirty-two in number, have reconvened, sum-
moned the inspectors from Redfield and Will
Jamestown, compelled them to recanvass and
count the Prohibition party vote of those towns,
made a county canvass and sent corrected re-
turns to Albany
The board failed to do their duty in this re
spect while in session, allowing these errors to
go un-corrected as they have in over thirty SINH
lar cases in this one county during the past six
years. and CONTEMPORARY refused to notice them
when courteously requested by Chairman PITTS
to make the corrections.
All sorts of sneers and jeers were poked at the
party by the supervisors, but they sang a differ
ent tune when supreme court writ of mandamus
from Justice ANDREWS was served upon them
week ago Saturday, compelling them to recon
vene and do their sworn duty.
It was a "sore" crowd which gathered at the
county clerks office last Tuesday, with exception
of Mr.. ROGERS of Hannibal the Prohibition fighter
who has kept the board awake for some time,
and who wore broad smile. One of the lead
ers said "If this board must eat crow to help
the Prohbitonists get little cheap advertise
ment we might well go at it. the is
getting larger all the time" Although small
minority angry voted against obeying the court,
a majority decided to do what they were
manded to. A summons was sent to Redfeld
and Williamstowrl, and eight of the maddest in
spectors of election in the state made the trips
through the mud fifteen miles and forty miles of
railroad and return, and counted the Prohibition
cote, which heretofore has been beneath notice
The board again reconvened on Thursday,
counted the amended county vote, made out an

time for the canvass of the state vote next day.
the state canvassing board having adjourned from
Tuesday till Saturday to await the result.
The only howl the board could think of was the

fortunate taxpayers who voted for supervisors
who do not do their duty, and they angrer
still when Mr.. P1TTs announced that the party
was fighting solely for principle not money, and
that inasmuch as the supervisors had now done
their duty, for this time, costs would be
asked
The matter has been chief topic of converse
ton hereabouts, and the party has much higher
standing than ever before

into camp and surrender" and on Tuesday night
last, under notice from him that they would be
treated similarly to the in which the
county board was treated, the mayor reconvened
the council as a board of canvassers and
moned the inspectors of that ward to appear to-

Fifth ward vote
The town boards of Sandy Creek and Boylston
are in delicate position, and the expected de-
cison of the supreme court may place them in
a position for punishment for contempt of court
1t will be recoected that two weeks ago orders
to show cause served upon those boards,
signed by Judge ANDREWS of Syracuse, direct
ing them to appear before him and show cause
why they should not be compelled by mandamus
to appoint the Prohibition party inspectors of
election, the Prohibitionsts having passed the
Democrats and taken second place.
Under two contradictory sections of the law,
there is question to whether the inspectors
are appointed by the town board or board of
canvassers,'' the former consisting of supervisor
town clerk and four justices-and the latter of
the same persons except supervisor. The Prohi-
To dodge if possible, the town boards (Repub-
lican machine men, with exception of E. L. SAR-
GENT, Prohibition JUSTICE convened at once as a
town board under the former section of the
law, and appointed the Democrats trying to null
fly the courts order by making it impossible to
obey if beaten in the contest.
The matter was argued Saturday at Syracuse
before Judge ANDREWS and the court paid strict
attention, asking many questions. Knowing it to
be test cases, and that his decision would be
appealed by side the other, the court
decided not to decide off-hand, reserved decision
and gave ten days in which to file briefs
Upon the side of the Prohibition party, its at
torneys have been working earnestly on the mat
ter, and today strong brief was filed with the
court.
Oswego attorneys generally believe the party
will win the law to which party is entitled
to inspectors, but if the court holds that the
town board" instead of BOARD of canvassers"
makes the appointments, action against the
"town board will be necessary
Upon this decision depends the future right of
the Prohbitionists, Socialists and Independence
sands of offices are at stake. There are 18,OO8
inspectors in the state, and about $4,000 poll
clerks and ballot clerks (appointed by inspectors
in all districts where voting machines are not in
use). These actions attracting much atten-
ton, even leading city dailies of Rochester, SYRIA
and Utica giving much space to the matter.
Thus far, four persons have sent in contribu-
