Can Plants Breathe?

Yes; respiration in plants is sci
entifically established fact All the
parts of the plant breathe, and chem.
ically this process differs in nothing
from animal respiration Until recent
times it was supposed that the secre-
ton of oxygen in the assimilation of
carbonic acid was the only process of
this kind taking place in plants. To
day we know that plants, in the same
way as animal organisms, assimilate
oxygen and exhale a like volume of
carbonic scid. BY day, when assimi-
lation and respiration proceed stimuli
taneously, it is difficult to establish
the process. BY night, however,
when assimilation is interrupted, the
exhalation of carbonic acid become
perceptible. An everyday proof of
this phenomenon is furnished by the
corruption of the air due to the pres
ence of plants in sleeping rooms The
reason of this corruption of the air is
only and solely the fact that breath
Ing plants, even like human beings,
exhale carbonic acid.-New York

DEAD OF REAL HYDROPHOBIA
Capt. Rabe Was Bitten by Stray
Cur Five Months Ago.
commander of Quarantine Tug, New
York Harbor, Expired Ignorant of
Nature of His AiIment.

New York City.-Captain Edward
Rabe, thirty-one years old. command
er of the Quarantine tug James w.
Wadsworth, died in the Smith Infirm-
airy, Staten Island, the surgeons de-
clare, of genuine hydrophobia. This
conclusion was reached not only be-
cause of the characteristic symptoms,
but because the patient was absolute
ly ignorant of the nature of the all
ment with which he was afflicted.
The fatal termination could not
have been FASTENED either by fright
or by auto-suggestion - causes that
were advanced in the case of William
Marsh, the wealthy Brooklyn inven-
tor, who was informed that he was a
victim of rabies and that death was
inevitable.
Captain Rabe believed himself to
be suffering from rheumatism and
had forgotten apparently the bite OF
dog five months ago. He never re-
ferred to it during his illness and he
was not undeceived as to what he be-
lieved his condition to be.
The case is believed to be unique
in this particular aspect, and If the
autopsy reveals the peculiar changes
in the texture of the brain cells that
indicate hydrophobia, physicians say
the question will be settled definitely
that canine madness is wholly physi-
cal and not the result of mental sug-
gestion. DIR. Charles Pearson, chief
of the hospital staff, was convinced
two days before the captains death
that he had to deal with case of
rabies so far advanced that death
was almost certain within twenty
four hours. In this prognosis his as
sociates and an expert from Phila-
delphia agreed, but not the slightest
intimation was given either to the
sufferer or to his family, except to in
form the wife that her husband was
a very sick man.
Captain Rabies legs began to swell,
and he laughingly declared that he
must be getting old and rheumatic.
Liniments and hot cloths were APP
piled, but the swelling was not re-
duced. Then the muscles of Captain
Rabies throat became rigid and he
was unable to swallow. Later in
the day he had a violent chill and his
right side became numb The symp-
toms were those of paralysis.
The progress of the malady was
rapid after the patient was admitted
to the hospital He became deliriops
and exhibited the signs of rabies. TIE
rightly of the muscles of the throat
became more pronounced. The hos.
pital staff agreed that the case was
beyond hope and that nothing could
be done except to relieve the periods
of delirious pain with opiates. Cap
tain Rabe died finally of exhaustion
Before confirming his diagnosis DR..
Pearson had made careful inquiry
without exciting alarm and discovered
that Rabe had been bitten by stray
dog, but that the wound was so trivial
he did not have it cauterized. He
found also that about the same time
a dog had bitten horse belonging to
Dr. Doty. The horse died and its
brain was sent to the laboratory of
the Board of Health for examination.
The report was that the horse had
died of rabies. 1t is believed that the
same dog that bit the man bit the
horse.

"Craw-w-w Dads? Craw Dads?
Am red hot. Craw Dads?"
The colored man was selling them
as fast as he could hand them out,
because the lovers of crawfish were
hungry for them, as the six months
disappearance of them was certainly
a long time. The yell is very famil-
lar to the Kansas Cityan, but a
stranger from little cities would say:
What in the world is that crazy
man yelling about?" In fact, Kan
sas City is the only town in the CEN
trail part of the United States that
has crawdads sold on the street. In
the seaboard cities crabs or Holsters
are sold in little stores, but they are
not sold on the streets ready for eat
ing. The fish is found in all small
streams of the Central States. There
are many colored families in Kansas
City that depend on the sales of craw-
dads in the summer for support

Insulting the Stomach.

Rowing round the druggists exhi-
bition with an appreciative eye on
the specifics shown for dyspepsia was
a brown-beared Scotsman consult
ing chemist we'll known in scientific
\ circles. He is a recognized authority
on indigestion, and well he may be.
He is never happier than when he
has indigestion in an acute form, for,
suppressing his anguish, he vivisects
his own symptoms and draws there
from stores of invaluable experiences.
For the last fifteen years he has been
eating weird food compounds with
the sole idea of inducing indigestion.
After partaking of these he sits down
and watches for the first "symp-
toms of discomfort" as he expresses
it.
Here are few examples of ''indi-
gestion inducers' and the approx
mate period before the discomfort
manifests itself: Tea and bread, two
and half to three hours; tea and
steak, two and half hours; red wine
and potatoes, ninety minutes; oysters
and whisky, eighty minutes; jelly and
purple grapes, sixty minutes; milk

BREWERS SCHEME TO STOP
WAVE OF PROHIBITION
Meet in Milwaukee and Decide to
Work For "CIean Saloons
WILL KEEP OUT OF POLITICS
Prohibitionists Send Sarcastic Mes
sage of Condolencet to Liquor Men
DR.. Darlington Says Alcohol
Causes Heart Disease.


Milwaukee. Wis.--In view of the
recent activities of the Prohibition
lists, the recent outlawing of the
traffic in spurious liquors in several
Southern States. and the serious in
jury to it in nearly every quarter Of
the country, the convention of the
United States Brewers Association.
which met here, is regarded as the
most important ever held by the or
ganization. The brewers, in execu-
tive session, formulated plans to meet
and stem the tidal wave of prohibi-
ton. The attack on the anti-saloon
forces will be in the main educa-
tional, but will also include efforts
at regulation of the saloons by stat
ute, with the idea of taking them out
OF politics, thereby elevating them so
that the liquor traffic will be recog-
n1zed as a legitimate, respectable
business, and not as something out
side of social and ethical recognition.
The keynote of the movement,
characterized as one to overset intol-
erance and bigotry and to correct
Misrepresentation, was embodied in the
address made by. julius Lehman,
president of the association. The
situation was also set forth in a re-
port of the Board of Trustees of the
association
Mr.. Lehman said: ut is OF the
utmost Importance that the saloon
keeper should respect the laws, but
the constant injustice melted out to
him under the guise of laws is a
force which tends to undermine this
respect.
The problem of the saloon is one
OF regulation by statutory authority;
of administration by the trade. From
either standpoint it is a complex
problem which cannot be settled in
the offhand fashion that seems so
easy to superficial observers.
The regulation of the saloon has
been needlessly complicated by ex-
perimental legislation, party politics,
police corruption and ineficiency.
Fixed and arbitrary limitations i'm
posed on communities by the State
without regard to local conditions,
have only increased the difficulty.
ITO keep the saloon out of politics
1t must first be taken out of politics;
and the best way to keep it in poll
tics is to provide by local option laws
for the constant agitation of the IL
cense question, with the element Of
harassing uncertainty which this in
wolves. In recent years the saloon
has been growing to be less and less
a political factor. To-day it threat
ems to become the biggest p&lNical
issue in our history"
