PIanAx and Ernsf

A swedish bOtanist has propounded a new theory to explain the killing action of frost on plants as well as the fact that certain plants escape dam age when others are destroyed. He observed that such plants as ceras- tium and viola, which survive the se- we're winters of Sweden, have the starch in their leaves replaced during the cold season by sugar. He then found that in plants which do not pos sess this peculiarity ice is formed in the interstices between the cells and the water is withdrawn from the cell sap. When the water is extracted the proteins in the cells pass out of solu- tion with disastrous effects. But if sugar is present the proteins remain in solution until much lower tenn perature is reached.

Smokeless Chimneys.

A German professor believes that he has found a way to remove the smoke nuisance in connection with factory chimneys. The professors chimney is perforated on all sides by little hori- zontal windows. AS the furnace smoke and gases rise they are mixed with air, both before and after emergenee. by the eddy forming action of the wind passing through the openings. From the time the smoke enters the chim- ney and reaches the height of the low CT openings. which receive the wind from any quarter. the intermingling be- gins. and in each stage of it's upward movement the volume becomes less and less.

 Lands Wrongfully Taken.


 The full blood Cherokee Indians are preparing to instigate suit against the United States government for S23.- Co0.00o. That sum the Cherokees say is due them for property rights and money dissipated by the government and paid to whites and negroes who were not Cherokees in the last 100 years.
 The leader of the movement is Mrs, Susan Saunders of St Louis, three quarter blood Cherokee, sixty-six years old and blind. In the action the major ity of the more progressive Of the Cherokees take no part. being convine- cd that the suit will be in vain.
 The principal claim of the Indians k for land in the Cherokee nation which has been allotted to negroes known Us freedmen and to the whites who have married into the tribe, There are 4,6G0 negroes who have been given al lotments in the Cherokee nation.
 When the Cherokees went to the Indian Territory from Georgia in 1883 to 1886 they took many negro slaves with them. These they kept the same as white slave owners until the close of the civil war. At the time of the war most of the Cherokees Joined the Confederaey. and when the emancipa- tion of the slaves was declared the government decreed that the slaves of the Indians should not only be freed, but should share in all the tribal prop erty of the nation.

hd,Lioe In a Crisis.

The Saline river. Arkansas. was out of its bank and swift flowing. owing to tine heavy rains.

 It was d critical moment, and the watchers from opposite banks were all anxiety. The imperiled boy clutched frantically upon the tail of the swim ming animal, but the old negro evi- dently failed to note this and shouted, Look to de Lawd. Eph'um; look to de Lawd look to de Dawd"
 The more worldly son on the other bank was obviously skeptical about such advice under the circumstances, for he screamed out, "Nevah you min lOokin to de Lawd. Eph'um; never you min lookin' to de Lawd-you hol' right on to dat mules tail. l."-Philadelphia Record

 Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutehins of Washington fixed S67 a day as the lowest figure on which millionaire's wife could live properly. This 6gure was arrived at when Mrs. Hutchins pefitioned the equity court for consent to utilize her S1 Loco month allowance for pin money" She insisted that the allowance made by her invalid hus- band was altogether too small to meet her expenses and submitted an item ized table of expenditures to prove her contention. The principal items for the month are:
 Servants. S242; auto. livery and chauffeur, SoT5: milk. S30: marketing, groceries and wine. SS50; pew rent. SIG; music. S15; confectionery, S5: charity. S15: theater tickets, Sl0: sum mer club dues. g.; silver insurance, SS: massage. S5: drugs and toilet articles, SEQ; flowers. SIS: cleaning clothes SEQ; physicians. S25: dentist.

 In view of this documentary evil dence it was recommended by Louis A. Dent. auditor of the District su preme court. that the allowance be in- creased to S2.50o a month, but with the injunction that Mrs. Hutchins meet all household expenditures, in- eluding the medical expenses attendant on her husbands illness.

A Ton kers feed dealer who once attached the pachydermatous part of circus. which ate up weeks profits in one day. wouldn't give cancelled stamp for one. but in Siam It's different. A consular report says that roughly es- timated the number of domesticated elephants in Siam is about 5000. The supply has been decreasing yearly. and priee es have advanced until now full grown male timber elephant is worth about S2. 300 and a female $1G00. An elephant is full grown at twenty-five years. but not in full vigor until thirty five The length of life is so to l50 years. and the average weight Is about three tons. New York Tribune.

DEDICATION OF MONUMENT.
Date For That at Vicksburs Unoecid-
 ed, but May Be April f6.

The new monument erected in the Nicksburg national park in honor of the Union navy of the civil war prob ably will be dedicated April 16 next year. That date, to which a deal of sentiment attaches. is under favorable consideration hy the navy department. It was on April 1G that the army trans ports in convoy of Admiral Porter's fleet passed Ticksburg prior to the capture of that city by the Union forces July 1. 1863. An advantage of the date is the fact that the Missis- sipni river will then be at high water. permitting the passage up as far as NickSburg of some of the large war ships to participate in the dedication.
 The memorial is a granite obelisk 202 feet high. with four bronze statues at the base. representing the naval commanders identified with the siege of Vieksburg-Farragu Porter. Foote and Davis. The monument cost S2o0. GOO. There is now a proposition be- fore congress to erect another monu- ment in the same park in honor of the Confederate navy.
