The sheath which enyelops the radicle.
or young root. is now seen to appear;
and not long afterwards the plumule.
or young shoot. commences its jour
ney towards the source Of light, while
the radicle burrows into the ground.
A day later the latter will have
heightened considerably, and delicate
roothairs will have made their ap
pearance. These take from the soil
both moisture and certain chemical
elements; and the root is gifted with
mysterious power OF selecting from
the soil exactly what it needs as food,
rejecting all else. In this manner, and
by means of the carbonic acid gas
absorbed by the plumule, the tiny plant
begins to elaborate food for itself; so
that, when the supply of nourishment
contained in the grain gives out, the
young organism has already become
self-supportlng. AS the days pass, two
pairs of adventitious roots are pro.
duced to tighten the labors of the pri.
mary root. Then the first folial leaf be-
gins to unfurl But ere 1t is full" expand.
ed, a fifth adventltious root is pro-
duced; so that, when the birth of the
wheat becomes an accomplished fact.
and when the first folial leaf IS fully
expanded, the tiny plant already pos.
sesses a system of six roots.
Naturally the baby wheat plant sell
dom develops in the symmetrical man
ner shown in the photographs
reproduced. 1t grows among par.
ticles of soil varying in size
from grains of sand to large stones.
Thus, in few days, it usually con-
trives TO twist itself into a confused
tangle below the surface of the soil.
A careful examination, however. will
show that it has not departed in the
smallest detail from the principle OF
growth which The pictures portray.

In the afternoon, David saw her go
into the big cage alone. He could not
feel confident. But, standing by, ne
again saw the wavering indecislon of
the beast, seeming watchfulness

certainty of its movement, save In in
stinotive obedience, expressed the
doubt of the blind perfectly-t6 one

1t was on the long western trip of
the Consolidated Outfit that Green-eye
got away. A skidding train, crash
into heavily loaded lumber car, and
eEcident presented freedom to the
beast through the broken end of his
travelling den. This happened in the
southern country. where the cattle

wooded districts.
Search was made; cattlemen turned
out and secured the range; Krant2 re-
manned behind the show a week seek

completely disappeared.

And Krantz refused to be com

could be put under his training.
David came to him shortly, after this.

"You are a goodt boy. Tavid," agreed
the old man.
There was no reason why he should

Probably no other object. great or

bilities in it's relation to mankind than
a grain of wheat-a tiny seed which
measures, in it's dry state, one-quarter
of an inch in length. Imagine what
would result If this grain, with its
fellows throughout the world. were
by some unforeseen chance to chain
up the life principle within itself-if,
in other words, termination were to
be arrested for single year. The
result to mankind would be appalling!
Not only would millions of our fellow
creatures be brought to the verge of
starvation, but the whole fabric of
civilization would be shaken to its
foundations. That this calamity is
averted year by year is only in a
limited sense the outcome of mans
activities. True, he prepares the soil
and watches long and patiently for
the harvest. But with the actual la

SEVEN SILENT STRANGERS
 PUZZLE DECATUR POLICE

Decatur, December 16.-(Special )-Yes- terday morning seven strange men called at the home of Charlie Hood, who lives about four miles from Somerville, this county, and asked him what he would charge to bring them to Decatur. MT. Hood told them he would charge them S1 each and he was engaged.
 The men told MT. Hood that they did not want to reach Decatur until after dark and that they wanted to get out of the wagon between New Decatur and Decatur. Not word was spoken during the drive of IS miles. The party reached Decatur about o'clock in the evening and they left the wagon on Moulton street where the street crosses the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks and then suddenly disappeared.
 MT. Hood went to a livery stable and put his team up and then notified the police, believing that the men were a dangerous set He said the men had paid him when they left Somerville and that he became suspicious of them on the way to Decatur and was afraid they would take the $7 away from him. They did not molest him, however.
 The police made a search for the men but failed to find them and they have not been seen since. MT Hood says that one of the men carried a small hand satchel and that the others had no lug gage of any kind MT. Hood said the men looked like countrymen to him. He says they did not speak a word during the entire trip and that this is the req son that he became suspicious of them.
 MT. Hood says there is an old story about Indians having buried large quan- tity of gold in the neighborhood of Som erville years ago and he thought per haps these men might have been out there searching for gold. The police thought they were a gang of crooks and intended to do some safe blowing in the Decaturs. Where the men went and who they were is still a mystery that is worrying the ica
