How Frost Affects Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death In win
ter, but perish from thirst. The proc
ess Is simple. The cold causes the
withdrawal Of the water from the cells
Of the plant, forming ice crystals out
side of the cells. The frost, cooling
and contracting the surface, acts as a
sort Of pump, and as soon as the cell
Is emptied Of Its life giving fluid the
plant dies. The truth Of this theory
has been proved by numerous careful
experiments. Great variation was
found in the amount Of cold necessary
to cause the death of vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point is reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather,
and some. die only at 20 degrees be-
low. Certain vegetable growths never
freeze. There are forms of bacteria
that even when Immersed in liquid air,
the intensest cold available, come out
Of their bitter bath as clipper and live
ly as ever.-Chicago Tribune.

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be
found in the Philippine Islands are
the so called "plant stones" encounter
ed now and again in certain vegetable
growths.. The bamboo, for instance,
according to Kultur und Natur, con-
tains stone very similar to the opal,
but ON account Of the rarity with which
1t Is found 1t Is much more costly than
the opal. In many thousand cane stalks
cut down and carefully examined there
may perhaps be one in which this beau
tifui greenish pink scintillating stone
has been formed from the minute parti-
cles of siliceous deposit that imparts
its intense hardness to the outer COW
ering of the cane. The bamboo cane
stone is known as tabashirs. In the
interior of some cocoanuts a stonelike
secretion Is found that Is not inferior
in brilliancy to the most beautiful gen.
uine pearl.

Saving a Cab Fare.

Here's a pretty tale of domestic
economy from an English paper. He
had. been brought up in the lap Of
luxury and extravaganza, and when
bad times came and he had to go down
to the city and look carefully after his
shillings 1t was his pretty and tender
little wife who helped him and encour-
aged him by example In small savings.
One fence he never would face.
He baked at taking bus. ut

and the fellows at the windows"
One evening, however, he returned ra-
diant to dinner. Tenderly embracing
his life's partner. he murmured: "I've
done 1t, darling! All the way for three

her eyes as she said: my brave boy!

fectionate cheeriness he made answer:

samp and How 20 Cook II.

Samp is one of the most delicious and
lppetizing of all corn products or by
products.
Give us the bowl of samp and milk
BY homespun beauty poured!
So sang Whittier. Whittier didn't
know how to eat He lived on air.
The very suggestion of milk with samp
Is nauseating. 1t is worse than mush
and milk and grits and cream. Roger
williams knew all about samp, and
this Is how he had 1t cooked: Crack
ne corn into about four pieces to the
grain. Soak 1t all night In water.
Skim of the skins which float in wa
ter. Boil on a slow fire until tender,
with piece of salt pork in the pot.
When the water Is dried out, introduce
lone good butter, some salt and pep
per and serve hot. The Indians of
Massachusetts, used any kind Of fresh

Wonderful Builders.

A personal inspection of the pyra-
mids made by an English quarry own
er led him to the conclusion that the
old Egyptians were better builders
than those of the present day. He
found blocks of stone in the pyramids
weighing three or four times as much
as the obelisks on the banks Of the
Nile. He saw stone the estimated
weight of which was 800 tons. Many
of the stones were found to be thirty
feet in length and fitted so closely to-
gether that the blade Of a penknife
could be run over the surface without
discovering the break between them.
There is no machinery, he claims, so
perfect that it will make two surfaces
thirty feet In length which will meet
together in unison as the stones in the
pyramids meet

chieaeo's Male Death Rate.

Health Commissioner Evans of Chi
cago in recent bulletin makes the
statement that in the last seven
months of 1907 about $4,000 men died
as compared to 5000 women and that
the death rate as between men and
women is now 80 per cent as COM
pared to 10 per cent twenty years ago.
He attributes the cause of this to the
strenuous life of the average Chicago
citizen, contributory causes being the
quick lunch, constant exposure and
carelessness. The only remedy, in his
opinion, is q return to the simple life
of our fathers.
Food the Brain Needs.
Before the international school con.
gress at London DR.. Sir James Creigh-
ton-Brown spoke of dietary for school
children and ridiculed the common
idea that fish was especially adapted
for feeding the brain, saying that phos-
phorus is no more the secret of genius
than tomatoes the cause of cancer.
What the working brain did need, he
said, was food in which the chemical
constituents were properly proper
toned and which was digestible and
palatable. In his opinion animal food
was necessary In order to supply an
abundance Of proteid. Brain workers
Of all ages he advised to take frequent
small meals rather than infrequent
heavy meals.
New Life Restoring Apparatus.
E. G. Hall, writing in the August
Technical World Magazine. asserts that
Professor George Poe Of South Nor
folk, Va, Is able to restore life to ap-
parently dead animals, his treatment
being based upon the well known
method of forcing oxygen into the
lungs. For this purpose he has devised
an artificial respirator modelled In all
respects after nature. 1t embodies two
small cylinders, each having an inlet
and an outlet. within which plungers
work simultaneously and from which
tubes are conducted to the nostrils or
mouth of the patient. One cylinder Is
supplied with oxygen, and the outlet OF
the other discharges directly into the
atmosphere The plungers are worked
by hand and timed according to normal
respiration. Thus I'm one movement
noxious gases from the lungs are
drawn into one cylinder, while the next
movement forces oxygen from the 9TH
er cylinder into the lungs. This de-
vice has been patented and will soon
be upon the market.
