A Wonderful Moss,

One Of the most wonderful speci-
mems of vegetable life known to the
botanist is the life moss" Of Jamaica.
Barbados and other Of the West In
dian islands. There are several spe-
cies Of tropical plants which have re-
markable tenacity Of life, but the life
moss" and the story of its vitality are
almost beyond belief. its powers to
live under adverse circumstances be-
ing certainly beyond that Of any other
known plant 1t appears to be abso-
htely indestructible by any means ex-
cept by immersion in boiling water or
the application Of a redhOt iron to its
roots and branching vines. 1t may be
cut up and divided into infnitesimal
particles, and then the very smallest
shred will throw out roots and soon
grow and form new branches and
buds. Specimens of this extraordinary
plant have been suspended in the air
in a dry, hot room; they have been
placed in close, air tight dark boxes.

A middle aged woman went into a

straight for the Grape counter. The
girl who handled this funeral material

Red Bridal Gowns.

II Is Of interest to note that the
choice of white Cor wedding gowns is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow. and in most
eastern countries pink is the bridal
color. During the middle ages and In
the renaissance period brides wore
crimson to the exclusion Of all other
colors. Most Of the Plantagenet and
Tudor queens were married In that
vivid hue. which Is still popular in
parts of Brittany. where the bride Is
usually dressed in crimson brocade. II
was Mary Stuart who first changed the
color Of the bridal garments. At her
marriage with Francis l. Of France In
1853, which took place not before the
altar, but before the great doors Of
Notre Dame, she was gowned In white
brocade, with a train of pale blue Per
sian velvet six yards in length. This
innovation caused a great stir In the
fashionable world of that time. 1t was
not, however. until quite the end Of the
seventeenth century that pure white,
the color worn by royal widows, be-
came popular for bridal garments.

A SundiaI That Struck

Paris is said to posses more sundials
than any other city in the world. In
the eighteenth century the sundial was
popular in Paris. Every day at noon
the sundial of the Palais Royal was the
center of interest of an eager crowd.
A writer tells of great crowd in the
corner Of the Palais Royal garden.
standing motionless. with their noses
In the air" Each was waiting for
noon, having his watch in hand, ready
to set at IL o'clock. When the Duke
Of Orleans was altering the palace in
1852 the Parisians were much dis
turbed, thinking that they were to be
deprived Of their favorite sundial. But
the duke not only preserved the sun
dial, but added to 1t a little powder
magazine. which was so arranged that
1t exploded when the sunlight fell upon
1t. thus notifying every one who heard
the explosion that the hour Of noon
had arrived. Later a cannon. which
was discharged by the sun at noon,
gave the signal.

In 1886 there was settlement at
the foot Of a little hill In New York
city which the settlers called Slang
Berge, or Snake Hill. but which Is now
called Mount Morris. AS the settle
ment grew each Dutchman who lived
there wanted to name it after his ma
tive town. But as each one had come
from a different place in Holland they
could not agree. Governor Stuyvesant
made careful inquiries, and, finding
that no one had come from Harlem,
he nipped all neighborly jealousies in
the bud by naming it Nieuw Harlem.
