DEVELOPING Their Jaws.

DR.. Robbins, an English writer, calls
attention to the development Of the
laws of English boys who were taken
out of the streets of London and sent
into the British navy. He says: "Un-
doubtedly the important notable i'm
provement in them, next to their SUI
perior stature and healthy appearance,
was the total change in the shape and
expression of their faces. On analy-
Eing this, one finds that it was to be
mainly accounted for by the decreased
growth and improved angle of the low.

rations of hard tack and salt junk"

No Such Thing as Any Animal Having
More Than One Life.
All animals have the power to re-
from being stunned Insects are in
no sense an exception to this. and
most of them possess what has been
called tenacity of life to a remarkable
degree. A butterfly will sail away with
pin through its body. an ant will go
floundering around after being cut in
two, and all insects will quickly re-
cover from a blow, even If such may
dent or break their external coverings
In such cases the inside parts are
mostly out of use for short time.
somewhat similar to the case of your
arm when you have struck the funny
bone" or to your foot when 1t Is
"asleep." But after few moments
rest the wasp can again resume its
actions.
A wasp is well armored. Its exterior
covering is hard and almost unyield-
ing. When 1t is struck severe blow
the soft, delicate inner parts yield to
the impact; the nerves and muscular
tissues cannot operate In unison, and
the insect may be said to have been
rendered unconscious as well as inca
pable, for the "mind' actions depend
upon its entire nervous system.
But there is no such thing as an AMI
mails having more than one life. When
crushed, dismembered, poisoned or
smothered beyond recovery, when its
vital organs are injured so that they
cannot again resume their regular
uses, an insect will die-not in appear
ance, but really so. And this may re-
suit from the wearing out of its active
vital organism, which may be called
old age, after sometimes only few
days or weeks of life. Its one life has
then been terminated beyond any
doubt.-St Nicholas.

NEVER OPENING FLOWERS.
A Large Number of Plants Bear CIeis
toqamous Blossoms.

The never opening flower, or. as bot
anists call 1t, cleistogamy. is well Illus
trated by the case of the common
sweet violet. The familiar purple
sweet scented blossom, which to most
people is the violet flower. hardly ever
produces any seed. But altogether un
seen by most people 1t produces a
number of minute, scentless and col
oress flowers which never open.
These are self fertilized and produce
abundant seed The word cleistog
amous expresses the fact that the
fertilization takes place without the
opening of the flower and hence with
out the agency of insects. Such never
opening flowers occur in large num-
Der of plants, sometimes along with
blossoms of the ordinary sort and
sometimes without them. 1t is dis
puted point, however, whether there
is any plant which in all circumstances
will produce nothing but cleistogamous
flowers.
There are nevertheless number
which normally produce nothing else.
As regards fertility, the seeds pro-
duced by the cleistogamous flowers are
never inferior to those of the ordinary
blossoms. In some cases they are su-
perior and In others they are the only
seed produced by the plant.
1t has been found that the amount of
eleistogamy varies with the height of
the plants. The shortest bear cleis-
togamic flowers only. and those lit
tie taller have a few small open flow.
ers in addition to the closed ones. The
tallest plants have larger open flow-
ers, with only few cleistoga mic

Gold In Ancient Rome.

William Jacob in his History of the
Precious Metals" estimates from the
accounts given by the Roman writers
that in the reign of Augustus. the first
of the emperors, when Rome was at
the height of its power, the amount of
gold in the Roman empire was nearly
100000. This vast treasure had
been gathered chiefly by conquest from
various nations of Europe. Asia and
Africa. There had been extensive
mines in Spain and in the Atlas noun

Our First Money.

The first United States money was
made in 1876. but instead Of bearing
the faces of leading statesmen 1t bore
only the face of Liberty. Some few

collectors. The first coins struck by
the United States mint were some half

THE STORY OF THE COAL
FAIRY.

Ethel had been watching the coal
fire blazing in the crate. and won
dering where the coal came from
When her father came in she asked
him.
He told her it was dug by men in
mines way down deep in the earth,
and hoisted by machinery to the
surface, where it was loaded on
freight cars that brought it to the
coal yards in the city. and from
there to our cellars by horse and
wagon.
Somehow Ethel seemed to get
sleepy as he told her the story, and,
putting her head on a cushion, she
watched the flames till all at once
she saw pretty flame-colored fairy
step out of the CRATE. and heard her
say: Little girl, | am coal fairy.
I've lived in that black lump of coal
for centuries. At one time that
piece of coal was a fern. Yes, a big
fern, large as any oak tree or tall
sycamore. There were lots and
lots Of those ferns growing in the
sandy soil when the earth was
swampier than 1t is now. They
would live and grow, but finally die
and fall down where the shifting
sand and earth would slowly cover
them. Then they would petrify and
srow hard like stone. In some
pieces of coal you can see the very
print of the fern leaves.
