Blue and Gold
Babies to Meet
Lowell Today
High School Team Has Already
Tried Out the Stanford
Freshmen

The Rugby game at California field
this afternoon. between the blue[an
gold babies and the Lowell high school
team is creating more than ordinary
interest, particularly among the fol-
lowers of the two university teams.
This is due to the fact that Lowell has
already met the Stanford freshies, and
in playing the California aspirants to-
day the Sutter street school is the first
team that will have met both univer-
sity freshmen teams this season.
On the result of this game the fans
will make their first deductions on the
relative ability of the two teams that
viii oppose each other next month
The blue and gold freshies are cer-
tainly playing a good brand of Rugby
and it would not be surprising to see
them defeat Lowell more severely to-
day than Stanford did last week. Coach
Schaeffer will try out number of the
freShies today. although such men as
Martin, Mini Stroud, Salisbury and ST.
lent, who have made good, will prob
ably play all through the game. The
Lowell team will be considerably weak
ened by the absence of Smeltzer, who
was injured in the game against Stan
ford last week. Lowell will line up as
follows:
Felliack-J. Tufts.
Three -quarters-L Meyer Ewsld r. cchn.
.frec izhths--Bail, Grimes.
Haif-London

The annual. meeting of the Pacific
Coast Rugby referees union is to be
held tonight Business of an impor-
tant nature is to be transacted, includ-
ing the election of officers for the en-
suing year. A matter that will also
come up for consideration is the ques-
tton of support to be given referees
when a man is ordered off the field
Several new members will present
themselves for examination by the
unions board of examiners Among
these are w. II. Howe, assistant coach

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

and 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 plant, or, rath-
er, herb, growing here which is really
fnsectivorous.
1t is likely that on account Of its be-
ing extremely small 1t has escaped
attention. In fact, it seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find 1t classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant, including the flowers, is Of
deep rich red color. 1t rarely reach
ed n height of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves arc
spatulate when undisturbed and pre-
sent many small fibrillae 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
fbrillae 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,

THE WORD "wINTER."
Said to Have Originally Indicated
Wetness. Not Goodness.

SAID to Have Originally Indicated
Wetness, Not Goodness.
There is Il prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win
ter that signifies cold, and the sea-
son is usually associated with the idea
OF low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little of
winter as we understand it, while
there was Il great deal of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, SO that it is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given us the word.
The word winter" as we use it, is
found with but slight notifications in
all the branches Of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea of wetness asso.
ciated with the season was given to it
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root of the word we
find ''wad," with the Specification of to
well, to wash out, to moistcn or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions of
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out of 1t, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" is in the Sanskrit us
"udan," water. -Anglo-Saxon has wac
ter" and in Latin we have ''unda,"
wave, from which we get our "inun-
date"
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the wv" into "v" and have
winter" In Icelandic 1t is "vetir,"
and the old high German has win
tar" and it is winter" in German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base ''wata," which means
wet. So it has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth of the
root on which all of the different words
In dozen languages have grown

THE cLERMoNT.
First Passage by Steamboat From
New York to Albany.

First Passage by Steamboat From
New York to Albany.
In August, 1S0S-tlle exact day is n
matter of dispute-the steamboat Cler-
mont made the first passage by steam
from New York to Albany. The dis
lance, somewhat less than $50 miles,
was covered in thirty-two hours, u
record hailed as a triumph in speed,
for previously the passage between
the two cities averaged four days.
Robert Fulton had experimental
with steam several years, but the Cler-
mont was the first boat he constructed
on large scale. AS he could not get
the engine he wanted In this country
he ordered one from England. The
Clermont was so reconstructed in the
following winter that it gave more
commodious accommodations to tray
elers, and the year 1908, which was
the first year of regular travel by
steamboat, Fulton made 1t point to
start his boat precisely on scheduled
time. Curiously enough, n portion Of
the public complained of this. 1t was
not until well along in the summer
that travellers got accustomed to it.
Previously boats had been held for
two hours at the request of passen-
gers who weren't ready. Fulton's per-
severance won public approval before
the season closed.-Anaconda Stand.

Cleared His pouht.

A well known English gentleman
engaged a tall and powerful high
lander to act as gamekeeper on his es-
tate. Having been considerable time
at his post and not having caught
any poachers, the gentleman suspect
ed his gamekeeper of carelessness.
So one dark night he disguised him
self and went out with n gun to poach
on his own ground. He had fired only
one or two shots when he was sud.
denly pounced upon from behind and
his gun wrenched away. Then kicks
and blows were showered upon him
until lie fell down half insensible.
The highlander then walked away
quietly, and when the gentleman re-
covered sufficiently he crawled home
and took to his bed for two weeks.
He has now no doubts as to whether
the man can perform his duty or not.
