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 q
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 bacteris
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.

Open to Conviction.

No rock was ever more firmly fixed

she considered herself of an extremely
pliable disposition, with a mind open

ITS the strangest thing to me, the

day to her nephew Williams bride,

tfnued, looking sharply at the young

Rackets.

There is a good deal of simplicity
about the game of rackets, but 1t is
so fast that one has to move into posi-
ton rapidly, hit rapidly and recover
rapidly The movements Of a player
must be almost instructive This is the
reason why those who learn the game
very young have better prospects. The
greatest mistake Of men who take up
rackets in this country is that they
often learn bad form at the start,
which only the most careful practice
will enable them to ever overcome. AS
matter of fact good many Of our
players do not care to take the time
for such practice. Bad footwork and
poor wrist are the causes Of the down
'all Of nearly all Of our second and
third class players. Plenty of men,
physically well equipped for the most
strenuous rackets, will peg along for
years and never learn the game prop
erly, simply because they began badly
and either have never taken the trou-
BILE or do not know how to correct
their faults.-George H. Brooke In Out
ing Magazine

The Foot of the Reindeer.

The foot Of the reindeer is most pc
culiar In construction. 1t is clover
through the middle, and each halt
curves upward in front. 1t is slightly
elongated and capable of a consider
able amount of expansion. When
placed on an irregular surface, which
Is difficult to traverse, the animal con
tracts the feet into a sort OF claw, by
which firm hold is secured When
moving rapidly, the two portions of the
foot as it is lifting strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous Gathering
noise, which may be heard at consid
cradle distance. 1t is this peculiarly
Of the feet that makes the reindeer SC
sure footed and SO valuable in rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove a failure as
a beast of burden.

The ships log consists of log chip
and log line. The log chip is a piece
OF board, shaped like the fourth part
of a circle, loaded with lead on the
round side, SO that it will stand up in
the water. The log line is $50 to 200
fathoms long. 1t is wound upon a large
reel, SO held as to let it run out easily
The line is divided into equal parts by
bits of string run through 1t, each
marked by the number of knots in it.:
hence these divisions are called knots.
The log chip when thrown into the wa
ter stands still and draws out the log
line as fast as 1t unwinds, and the
speed of the ship is shown by the num-
Der of knots that run out In half a min
ute. The usual length of a knot is
Alb feet. When it is known how many
of these run out in half a minute. 1t is
easy to calculate how many would run
out in an hour by multiplying by 100.
The record of the heaving of the log,
as well as all important things happen
ing on shipboard, is made in a log
book.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Swedenborg was great deal In Lon
don, where he was known and admired
and had several good friends, but his
small knowledge Of English and the
impeachment in his speech precluded
him from any real intimacy. His slight
figure, with its fine features and hazel
eyes, was well known in the neighbor-
hood of Coldbath fields, where he lodg-
ed, and he was often seen stopping to
talk to the children, for whom he used
to carry sweetmeats. He was always
dressed in an old fashioned suit with
lace ruffies and wore q full bottomed
