Electrical Discharges From Plants.

The atmosphere surrounding our
earth Is known to be electrified, and its
charges are bound to play an impor-
tant part In many phenomena. Atmos-
pheric electri1cation thus is RESPONSE
BILE for the formation of rain and hail,
and. while fine weather generally is
characterized by the presence of posi-
tive electricity. change In the wealth
er Is generally accompanied by a
change in the sign OF atmospheric cleo
tricity. That the electrl6cation Of the
air does exert some influence on plant
growth is iaferred from the fact that
electrified plants. under the influence
Of sunshine, can give Off electricity
from the leaves. and as the air is nat
orally electrified relatively to the soil
all plants are bound to be in constant
state Of slow electrical discharge which
Is made active on the rising Of the sun.

Care Of Snowshoes.

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry with a
chamois, for instance, the prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them of merely tap them against the
wall or tree TO shake free the cling
ing snow and stand them up on their
heels outside. Never attempt TO dry
them before fire. When they are put
away for the summer select a dry
place where there will be no danger of

The Finleky Humor Of Le.eh..l,kx.

Some amusing stories are told of
Leschetizky. the great piano teacher,
whose comic spirit is one of the pre-
dominating features of his character.
1t Is well known that he is a man of
strong likes and dlslikes. When an
American pianist dozen or so years
ago went to Vienna to study with him
he wore his hair long, a habit much
affected at that time by the aspiring
young artist. So greatly did his gen
eral appearance annoy the professor
that at the end OF the first lesson the
student received Instructions to go and
have his hair cut short. Although
loath TO part with his locks. the young
plnnlst nevertheless obeyed and turned
up at the next lesson with his hair cut
I'm the conventional way. Still Lesche-
tizky was not satisfied. "There IL
something about you that don't llkel"
cried the professor "Your ears are too
long. Have them cut Off and let your
hair grow againw-Smith's Magazine.
