The University of Chicago has lost it's head trainer of white rats This does not imply that the education of rodents is a regular feature of that university's curriculum, but neverthe- less Professor John B. Watson of the department of psychology owed his Ph. D. degree and present position to his success in training these animals. and he has just been called to a higher position at the Johns Hopkins Uni versity at Baltimore. The experi- ments that made Dr. Watsons fame were highly unique and may throw important light on the development of human beings, scientists declare. The object of the investigation briefly was to discover whether the higher mem bers of the animal Kingdom, including rodents and babies, can be considered to possess any real intelligence prior to the full development of the nervous system. The results indicated that they can, and incidentally established for all time the exact number of min utes it will take an average hungry rat to find a way into a box when there is cheese in the box. The prin-
 
 the successive attempts of a young rat to get into cage. opening by a latch string which had been moistened with cheese The first attempts took ten minutes, but after q number of trials light began to dawn on the rat. and thereafter he made a bee line for the string as soon as he was released. The old rats took more time to solve the puzzle, but their memory proved better than that of the youngsters One old rat took B minutes to learn complicated method of entering the food box, but the second time he was placed near it he did the trick in ex- actly one minute and a half It is said that John D. Rockefeller was highly pleased at the ingenuity shown in the experiments.

The war upon -vivisection senti- ment which was declared by the American Medical Association at it's recent meeting in Chicago will be vigorous, according to present senti- ment. By unanimous vote a commit tee to urge the necessity and bene- fits of animal experimentation in the study of diseases was created. a step which shows how much modern scien- tific medicine differs from the teach ings 100 years ago. Scientific men to- day can speak positively regarding the causes and methods of prevention of diseases because their statements are based not on mere theory, but on actual demonstration and proof To animal experiments are due much of the present knowledge of diptheria, ty-
 pheid fever, yellow fever, cholera, bu-
 bonic plague and many other con
 tagious and loathsome diseases, the facts learned having enabled our ! boards of health and sanitary authori- | ties practically to wipe out many dis eases and to control others. The as sociation will combat the entire mis- conception of the value and purposes | VI eiiillttii tAptiiihtHNo siili tllc l in which they are conducted which i have inspired persistent attempts in some states to enact laws forbidding this method of investigation. The 1 American Medical Association plans
 to make public the information as to | the value of such experiments in
 stamping out disease and In saving

 War on disOrderly houses in Chi cago. following successful warfare on the white slave traffic." has been be- gun for the Chicago Law and order League by Arthur Burrage Farwell.

"The probabilities are" Mir Farwell says, that there are many disorderly houses where intoXi- eating liquor is sold that do not pay a government tax, but this record shows 2500 places where the govern ment has issued an internal revenue license, and probably in every case intoxicating liquor is sold contrary 10 the state law and the ordinances of the city of Chicago. The time has come in this city when a concerted effort should be made against the dis orderly house. against the illegal sale of intoxicating liquor in such houses and against the replenishing of ma terial for this awful business for these many places"

Chicago's final tribute to the mem ory of Grover Cleveland will take the form of a big memorial meeting to be held in the Auditorium next Sunday, July F. Personal friends and political associates of the former president will make the leading ad
 dresses and thousands of citizens of Chicago will unite with them to do honor to the Sage of Princeton The meeting will be held under the aus pices of the Iroquois club, the demo- cratic club of the city. From the day that the news of Grover Cleveland's death reached Chicago. associations. clubs and public bodies here have vied with each other in bearing witness to the admiration and affection with which the former president was re- garded by democrats and republicans alike. The Board of Trade was one of the first bodies to take official action and summed up the feeling of the city and of the entire country in the following striking resolution: "On June 24 the mortal life of Grover Cleveland was ended. The record of his career as president of the United States for two full terms. and in other capacities, both private and public. is one of lofty patriotism. of unsurpassed courage, of unswerving fidelity to great and immutable principles, of profound statesmanship, of unhesitat
 ing loyalty to his convictions regard less of personal considerations or po- litical affiliations. In the great crises that made illustrious his presidency he kept unawed and solely in view the maintenance of law and order and the glory of the republic. No sophis
 try ever pierced his armor of righteousness. He was great in his simplicity and simple in his great
 ness. His name is written in living and incffaceable characters among the names of our great presidents. The life and character of Grover Cleye- land are among the imperishable treasures of the nation" The Board of Trade of Chicago has always been foremost in voicing the unspoken sen timents of it's members and of the city in times of national calamity, and in such cases as the Jamestown flood, the Galveston flood and the San Fran cisco earthquake it contributed large sums of money for the relief of the sufferers. Among the other OrganiZa- tions which passed memorial resolu- tions were the Iroquois club, Union League club, Hamilton club, Illinois Athletic club and the board of com- | missioners of Cook county

 Should we pile up further words in an endeavor to emphasize In the most solemn manner upon the mind of every reader in Alabama. the prophetic pos. abilities of his great state, we could not do 1t better than by declaring once and for all-and anyone who chooses may investigate-that there is no other State of the Union with such unique combination of power and of mineral wealth as our State.

WILD FLOWERS OF TEXAS

Having occasion to visit a distant State recently, was greatly surprised to find SO many wild flowers indigenous to Texas under careful cultivation In the greephouses. I noticed particular ly our common yellow primrose. whose simple though lovely flowers so glori- fy the Texas. waysides, making an evening stroh in our long twilight an enjoyable event to be remembered. These tiny primrose plants, in three ineh pots, the florist informed me, sold for ten cents each. also noticed some pots of our wild cyclamens. ovalis. salvia, laritana. abutilon. phlox Drum mondii. etc. all of which grow wild in Texas during their season.
 The wild onion Is also a pretty sight. In many instances covering whole acres with It's flowers of pure white, dainty pink and deep red. But with all this profusion of beautiful wild flowers, Texas has In the last few years chosen q modest little blue lupin as State Flower. This flower. commonly known as Buffalo clover. has been christened flowers completely covering miles up- on miles of the ,prairies with. its deli cate blue blossoms. almost rivaling in color the blue of the heavens above.
 In the timbered regions of East Tex as can be found many of the wild flow- CTS of the old States: among them the yellow jesmlne and others. Here. too. growing in the swamps Is strange carniverous flower, sarracenia hava. or pitcher plant. something on the order of the little sundew mentioned by E. F. Andrews. This plant also feeds on r insects which 1t catches. The flower is shaped something like a pitcher on long stem. The sides of the flowers are covered with coarse hair which pre- vents the insects crawling out when once inside. the flower 1t seeming to have an odor which attracts them to the pitcher.
 The sarracena hava also grows in the swmps of Alabama commonly known as pitcher plant or side-saddle flower. V ,ss gs ys Ellie Stclle. Fort Worth, Tex. 1912 May Street.
