wandering thoughts of the house

cam | to understand that it Is
out of order to cry Order in this

"The tone and the way in which
the honorable member expresses

the speaker.
'In that case" said Mr.. Healy
but the speaker pulled him up
sharply with the reproof: "The hon

A Providsnt Plant,

There is plant found in the
Mexican desert of Sonora which is
stated to surpass the camel in its
ability to husband its supply of
moisture. This is known as the
quarequi, a relative of the pumpkin,
and it inhabits a locality in which
practically all the rain falls within
q period of six weeks. The base of
the stem of the plant is formed by
a hard, woody structure, which is
really nothing more than vegeta-
BILE reservoir designed to hoard up
the scanty moisture received with
the greed of miser, exercising all
. miser's thrift in doling out the
precious fluid to its own advantage
in time of need.

The Seventh Element in Life.

'There is now no more reason to
doubt that plants grew out of chemical
affinity than to doubt that stones did.
Spontaneous generation is as certain
as spontaneous variation, of which it
is in fact only an expression. From all
we have learned of it's constitution on
the one hand. or of it's distribution on
the other, We know life to be as inc
vitabie phase of planetary evolution
as is quartz or feldspar or heterogeneous
soil. Each and all Of them are only
manifestations of chemical affinity re-
sultant on condition: and considering
the oneness of the stuff. it is the condi-
tons alone we have to investigate if
we would learn what is to come. Nir-
tUa1ly only six so-called elements go to
make up the molecule of life 1t is the
number Of its constituent atoms and
the intricacy of their binding together
that give i, the instability to produce
the vital actions. Carbon, hydrogen.
oxygen. nitrogen. phosphorus and
sulphur are all that is required. If a
plant be capable of furnishing these
under suitable temperature conditions
1t seems as inevitable that life will en-
sue as that the two elements sodium
and chlorin will unite to form common
salt when the heat and pressure are
right"
There you have the science of it, as
a noted writer has expressed it in a
current magazine. Does it satisfy

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Tho SentineI's "Extravagance."
(SomerSet RepOrter.)

For some time the Waterville Senti-
mel has paraded on its editorial page
in bold advertising and bill poster
type. q group of figures. showing that
in the past seven years or SO there
has been a gradual increase in the ex-
pentiitures of the State. Who doubts
it? Who would like to live in a State
that made no progress, that simply
stood still, without healthy growth?
The trouble is the Sentinel calls it
Republican extravaganza" This
charge has been answered by the
Portland Press. the editor of which
has analysed the matter in his usual
careful manner. The Press shows clear
ly that if the State is to keep up with
the reasonable demands Of the times
there must necessarily be an increase
of expenditures, without mourning the
charge of eXtrava gance. We have on
situations that cost money There is
the sum of $40, 900 for a new building
for the care of the criminal insane;
sS0000 for G building for tuberculosis
insane at Bangor; $500 for hospital at
Chase Island; $1,000 for water supply
$4,000 for the Insane hospital And s;
$1,000 for a new herd of cattle: over
$4,000 for the Insane hospital And
then there are the large appropriations
for city hospitals. normal schools.
academies. University of Maine, School
for Boys, and Industrial School for
Girls. the school fund and mill tax.
soldiers pensions, support of poor,
cattle commission, State roads, etc
Who could cut out one single item of
these expenditures without a blush of
shame? There is no extravaganza about
it: there's nothing but fairness. The
Republican party is proud of its fl
nancial record, and is ready to meet
that issue before the people.
