Novels at Cut Rates.

The reduction Of the price of nov els
in London from Is. to half a crown may
prove n sad blow to the great circulating

Scientist Discovers kinship in Sen

Most persons have heard Of the sen

handling and expands under gentle
treatment, but the scientific truth that
all plants are sensitive, that they have
a nervous organization like that of the
lower animals, will be news to many.
This truth was first proclaimed by
Professor ]. c. Bose. Previously phys
lologlsts had attributed apparent evil
iences of sensation In plants to dis
turbance of the equilibrium of the wa

that plants have really a nervous or

outside influences.

A Dog Habit.
Gardens,

Have you ever thought why it is
that a dog turns around and around
when he jumps up on his cushion or
starts to settle himself anywhere for a
nap? Now thar you are reminded you
can recall that you have seen a dog
do it many times, can't you? This hab-
it is about all that is left 10 our tame
little doggies of the days long ego, when
they were a race of wild animals and
lived In the woods. Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and 1t
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog al
ways trod around a narrow circle be-
fore he would lie down. The dog of
to-day keeps up the same old habit, al
though there Is no longer any need for
II, and of course the animal has no
notion why he does 1t.

The Printing Press.

The most useful all round invention
to humanity is the printing press.
Generations ago some philosopher said.
"In the world there is nothing great
but man, and in man there is nothing
great but mind" That is to say, while
there are many great things, the great
est is mind. 1t is by and through his
intellect that man has risen to the
mastery Of the planet, and whatever
sharpens the intellect at the same time
advances the worlds civilization. This
the printing press has done as nothing
else has done, and therefore to the
printing press belongs the honor OF
being the most useful all round inven
ton known to man.-New York Ameri

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La
iande, the popular French astronomer
Of a century ago, differed from New
toms view that Providence had so ar
ranged matters as to make collision Of
the earth with a comet impossible and
wrote a paper to prove that 1t was
only very improbable. This paper,
which was to have been read with 9TH
ers before the French academy on a
certain day In 177a got crowded out,
but the Partisan public, hearing Of it,
made up Its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction Of
the earth and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
Of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then 1t was popularly
believed that the paper bad been delib
erately toned down and comet panics
continued for a quarter Of century.
