The Human Temperature.

Put to the test of the thermometer,
it appears that the normal tempera-
ture of the body is almost invariable,
regardless of latitude or season. Put
ting the bulb of the thermometer IN
der the tongue of an Eskimo at the
frozen north or of a man under the
blazing sun of the tropics, we End that
in each case, the body being in a state
OF health, the temperature is about the
same, the difference not amounting to
a degree. We may say absolutely that
the average normal temperature of
a human being is about $50 degrees
F., just as we may say that at sea
level water boils at 212 degrees F.

CURIOUS FLORIDA HERB.
Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants
ard Other Insects.


Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or carniv-
orous plants, but it is doubtful if many
know we have any such plants grow
ing right here in southern Florida
Nevertheless there is a plant, or. rath-
er, herb, growing here which is really
insectivorous.
1t is likely that on account of its be-
ing extremely small it has escaped
attention. In fact, it seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find it classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb. ard the en-
tire plant, including the flowers, is Of
deep rich red color. 1t rarely reach
ed height of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves arc
spatuIate when undisturbed and pre-
sent many small fbrillae and secrete
at their tips tenacious fluid which is
capable of holding the very small in
sects, such as ants and the like. upon
which it feeds When any of these get
lodged in the fluid and disturb these
fibrillae the leaves slowly acquire
deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When
they have absorbed the insect they
slowly recover their original shape,
leaving only the skeleton of the insect
remaining.
These plants grow on the very low,
fiat, poor and sandy lands. They ap-
pear in the late winter and early
spring months-Punta Gorda Fla.)

Promptly on time the counterfeit
presentment of Mounted Policeman
! O'Roon single footed into the park on
his chestnut steed. In a uniform two
men who are unlike will look alike:
two who somewhat resemble each
other in feature and figure will appear
as twin brothers. SO Remsen trotted
down the bride paths. enjoying him
self hugely, SO few real pleasures do
ten-millionaires have.
Along the driveway in the early
morning spun a victoria drawn by
pair Of fiery bays. There was some
thing foreign about the affair, for the
park is rarely used in the morning ex-
cept by unimportant people who love
to be healthy, poor and wise. In the
vehicle sat an old gentleman with
snowy side whiskers and a Scotch plaid
cap which could not be worn while
driving except by parsonage. At his
side sat the lady of Remsen's heart
the lady who looked like pcmegranate
blossoms and the gibbous moon.
Remsen met them coming At the
instant of their passing her eyes look
ed into his, and but for the ever cow
ard heart of a true ioye- he could have
sworn that she flushed faint pink
He trotted on for twenty yards and
then wheeled his horse at the sound
of runaway boots. The bays had
bolted.
Remsen sent his chestnut after the
victoria like a shot There was work
cut out for the impersonator of Police
man O'Roon. The chestnut ranged
alongside the off bay thirty seconds
after the chase began, rolled his eye
back at Remsen and said in the only
manner open to poIicemen's horses:
We'll, you duffer, are you going to
do your share? You're not O'Ro0n,
but it seems to me if you'd lean to the
right you could reach the reins of that
foolish. slow running bay All. you're
all right! O'Roon couldn't have done ii
more neatly"
The runaway team was tugged to an
inglorious halt by Remsen's tough
muscles. The driver released his hands
from the wrapped reins, jumped from
his seat and stood at the heads of the
team. The chestnut. approving his new
rider danced and pranced, reviling
equinely the subdued bays Remsen.

smile and look-a little frightened. but

pride, was worthy of being spoken in

with due pride, he could leave at his

He opened his lips to speak and
closed them again.

his comrade were in his hands. If

Knickerbocker, had just rescued pome-

possible death. where was Policeman

OPPOSES RELIGION
IN ELECTION WORK
Slight Exception Only Has Been Found
to Settlement of Church Prob
lens in Philippines, He
Declares

WASHINGTON, June 10. - That
g omplete clurch emulation" is a good
thing, and that there should be in this
country no "invidious distinctions in
elections because of religious belief"
were the keynotes OF the address made
tonight by President Taft before the
con. IS of Roman Catholic mission
aries in session in this city.
Mr.. Taft spoke principally of the
work of settling in the Philippines the
tionship there of the church and the
government. He expressed the opin-
ion that in the end the church would
be strengthened by the change there,
"as freedom and liberation and the
complete separation of the church and
the state have strengthened the church
in thi- country"
Referring to his visit to Pope Leo
XIII and the subsequent settlement of
t.. church problems in the Philippines,
he declared that few extremists in this
country had found any exception there
to.
st venture to say, added the presi-
dent, that If this visit to Rome had
occurred forty years ago, it would have
sunk any administration responsible for
it, which only goes to show that this
country is broad enough for all de-
nominations to work together for the
fathernoe of COG and the brother
hood of man, and for all of us to live
here as American citizens and that we
should make no invidious distinctions
in elections because of religious be-
lief"

There is a possibility that an inter
scholastic football league of the Amer

Southern California, and already sew
eral invitations have been sent out to
the various high schools of the south
asking them to join. Throop and Pasa-
dena high schools have been invited to
become members of the Los Angeles
For several years there has not been a
county football league, though in other
sports leagues have been maintained.
AS a result some of the schools have
had longer schedules than others. 1t
is planned to award a pennant to the
team winning the greatest number of
games during the season.
Invitations have been sent to Ana
helm, Santa Monica. Compton, Long
Beach, Hollywood, Harvard Military
school and Whittier high schools. As
the Los Angeles Polytechnic and high
schools are to play the Rugby next fan
they were not included in the invita-
tiones. 1t is hardly probable that they
would have been invited into the league
as they rank in the same class with the
college teams of Southern California
and the smaller teams generally suffer
at their heads

the football situation among the sec
ondary schools of the county Is gradu-
ally assuming a roseate hue, and it is
believed that the coming season will be
one of the most successful that the pig
