Plants That See and Swim.

Potatoes have i'eyes," as most peo-
pie know, but how many are aware
that certain common garden and wild
flowers are similarly equipped? The
nasturtium, begonia, clover, woodsor-
rel and bluebell, among others, have
eyes placed on their leaves. They are
tiny protuberances, filled with trans
parent, gunmy mixture. which focuses
the rays of light upon a sensitive
patch of tissue behind them.
A nasturtium plant has thousands
of such 'eyes" on its leaves, but it is
not yet known if the plant can actual
ly see. Are the sense impressions
telegraphed to some central nerve cor
responding with the brain of the ami.
NAL kingdom?
In addition to this visional organ
many plants show a touch Of sensi-
tiveness that points to further re-
semblance to animals; while certain
seaweeds and MOSES in an early
stage of their existence are able to
actually swim through the water

them-much in love with Jack and
comfortably in love with Dick, who
tiatters me and makes me agreeable
every time Jack makes me uncomfort-

is jealous of but one man at a time.
The minor affair is the soothing one.

all forenoon I won't go out of the
house, fearing he may telephone or
send box of flowers; in the after
noon at every ring of the bell l jump
out of my wits, thinking maybe-you
know! Then If all day he hasn't sent
word sit trying to talk with some
body, and can't seem to remember
what they are trying to say. OF
course Mr.. Marteas-the man I'm 60

it's because I'm shy and young and
up in the Clouds as he says. But it's
just Tom all the time"
Then Mr.. Clifton's the antidote. I'll
give him to you this very evening"
But he wants to marry you.''
Just habit, my dear. If should
accept him he'd be frightened awfully.
I'm four years older than he, and
we'll, come over home with me to din

on their breasts, the women IN their
