The utter lack of confidence was evidenced this morning z in the hazars where the shops that were re-opened yesterday had their shutters up again today. Small arm ed crowds are reassembling in the pub lie squares, but up to the present time there has been no aggression

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
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 eyer.-Chicago Tribune.

Pracioua Plant Stonas.

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 a stone very similar 10 the opal,
but on account of the rarity with which
ii is found ii 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
tiful 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 tabashrs. In the
interior of some cocoanuts a stonelke
secretion Is found that is not inferior
In brilliancy to the most beautiful gen.
uine pearl.

bad times came and be had to go down
TO tie city and look carefully after his
shillings it was his pretty and tender
little wife who helped him and encour-
aged him by example In small savings

He baked at taking a bus. TT
might pass the club, you know, dear
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 it, darling, All the way for three
pence" Love and gratitude were in
her eyes as she said: My brave boy.
Did you mind 1t very much" With af-
fectionate cheeriness he made answer:
mo, dear! Got box seat real good old
sort, the driver Told me lots of stories
and was quite chatty. Capital chap!
