JOURNEY OF A TREE ROOT.
Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up Over a
Wall to a Sewer,

From Santa Barbara, Cal, there
comes a story Of a most interesting
freak of vegetable life which Is strict
ly vouched for, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
Through a certain garden there ran,
some years ago, a sewer made of red
wood timber This sewer was again
cased by an outside sewer. Across the
sewer there was built a brick wall
many feet high, and in such a way
that it was pierced by the inner sewer.
which it inclosed tightly. while the
outer sewer ended abruptly against the
wall.
The outside sewer casing had in
course of time decayed and a eucalyp-
tus tree, standing some sixty feet away.
had taken advantage of this and sent
one of its roots to the coveted spot in
as direct a line as possible.
Here the root entered the outside
sewer and followed its course as far as
it could. At last it came to the wall.
which shut off its course, and It could
go no farther. the inside sewer being
perfectly tight.
But on the other side of the wall
the sewer and its double casing con-
tinued, and this eucalyptus tree evil
IDENTIFY knew how to get there.
Some three feet high in the brick
wall there was a little hole an inch
or two in diameter. and this the euca-
lyptus tree was aware Of as its big
root began to climb the dry wall and
face the sun and wind until it found
the hole, through which it descended
on the other side and entered the
sewer again and followed it along as
formerly.
How did the tree know of the hole
in the wall2 How did It know that the
sewer was on the other side? How
could it direct the root to go and find
the place with such precision? The
roots of any plant grow always and
unerringly in the direction of its food.
just as the eucalyptus tree did.

STORIES OF "sUNsET" COX.
Witty Resolution offered During a De-
bate on the Tariff.

Cox was an incorporating free
trader and one of the most interesting
figures in congress. A graduate of
Brown, he had first taken part in pub
lie life as the editor of the Statesman
of Columbus, o. Here at the very start
he earned his sobriquet of Sunset
Cox by an editorial, which went all
over the country, "a Great Old Sun
set it was called. 1t opened, What
a stormful sunset was that of last
night. How glorious the storm and
how splendid the setting of the sun"
His popularity sent him to congress
in 1857. In 1866 he removed to New
York city. which at once sent him back
to congress as one of its representa-
tives The spirit and wit Cox could
infuse into a tariff debate can only be
understood by reading the Congress
sionaI Record. Perhaps his most sue
cessful sally at his opponents in this
congress was his resolution against free
sunshine-made when there was a
fight on against lowering the duty on
coal:
Resolved. That all windows. sky
lights, inside and outside shutters, cur
tains and blinds shall be permanently
closed, as also all openings, holes.

which the light and heat of the sun
have been allowed to enter the houses
to the prejudice and injury of meritor-

protect domestic industry"

planned Mr. Cox. He comes from
abroad, and we must shut out the light

DOCTOR SEES THAW.
One of His Expert AIienists Spends
Two Hours With Him.

New York, April 1s.-It became
known today that Dr. Smith Ely
Jelliffe, one of the alienists who testi-
fed for the defense in the recent trial
of Harry h. Thaw. spent two hours
with Thaw in his cell in the Tombs
last night. A. r. Peabody of Thaw's
counsel, was present during the inter-
view but neither he or DR.. Jelliffe
would say anything today.
Thaw had remained in bed yester-
day morning until 9 o'clock and only
arose to see his counsel when Warden
Flynn suggested to him that if he
were i'll he might go to the hospital
ward. 1t was said at the prison that
Mr. Pea body had summoned DR..
Jel1fffe to attend Thaw because DR..
Mcclure, the regular Tombs physi-
clan, is suffering from a slight attack
of tonsiIitis.
Roger O'Mara, the former Pittsburg
chief of police who has charge of the
detective work of the defense, came to
New York today in response to a re-
quest from Thaw. He will have a talk
with the prisoner before returning to
Pittsburg.

TIE KNOCKOUT PUNCH.
An Old PugiIist Talks of the Fight Of
His Life,

John L. Sullivan, for many years
holder OF the title Of heavy weight
champion of the fistic world, thus tells
OF the emmy who deciSively and finally
put him out Of the ring;
know lot about "knokout punch.
es. =" discovered one, delivered a few,
and have been punch bunch of them
myself, So that when anybody talks
about punches l take an interest in
the couyersation. When they begin
to talk about knockout punches | join
in the talk.
We hear lot nowadays about the
man with the punch-the fellow that
puts it over everybody else-the busi'
man who has the wallop on his neigh
bors-the fighter who carries sleep
producers In both hands. You know
all about that, but you don't know,
maybe, that the real Knockout punch
isn't carried in any fist, and never
drops you so that you can rise up after
the referee counts ten and collect your
senses and your share Of the gate re-
ceipts. The real knockout punches in
this life are the ones you never see, but
only feel. For some fellows the punch
is slipped to them in a glass OF booze,
and il has the right to the solar pleXus
beat a mile for effect,
Old Easy Life gets in under another
lads guard and puts him down and out
before he knows it's coming Noright
swing ever took away senses so sudden
ly as little touch of Easy Life, and
you can get many to testify to that.
Take it from me-the real knockout
punches are the ones you want to learn
And then you want to learn how tC
guard against them When fellow
starts in TO be fighter the first thing
he learns is how to hold bis hands; moi
to deliver the blow, but to guard
against blow. It's great thing tt
have the punch. It's just as great an(
as necessary to know the knockout and
recognize it when you see it coming a
, 1t is to know you've got the punch il
} your makeup.
, There's one knockout punch that yol
, won't have any trouble recognizing, al
though it comes in a good many differ
ent ways and tries to sneak in owe
e your guard. It's boo2e-drihk; stronI
drink OF all kinds There's no use try
= ing to meet it. It's one OF the rea
, knockout punches Of life. Don't let
