YOUNG JURY FAILS TO AGREE.

After allowing the jury about six
hours to reach a decision in the Clar-

The RootIess Cactus.

A rootless cactus is to be found in
the deserts of California. 1t is a round
compact growth, rolls about the level
floor of the desert for some eight or
nine months of the year, tossed hither
and yon by the winds which blow
with fierceness over all of California's
sand plat during those months. When
begins business wherever it happened
to be located, and starts to put out all
around it small roots, which in turn
become cacti, exactly like the parent
plant. These young growths increase
in size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose radius
is not less than ten feet. These roots.
too, are small. but practically innum-
cradle. and theyzget every bit of mois-
ture and plant food to be had in the
territory they cover.-New York Press.
