JUST WHY THE LEAF FALLS
A. Explained by the Scientists, This
10 q Complex and Interesting
Proceeding.

To most people the fall Of the
leaves does not, apparently, excite
much establishment or curiosity. The
leaves die, and hence fall; that is all
there is about 1t. But the scientist
knows that the proceeding is a high.
" complex one. In the first place.
Preparations for the leaf-fall begin
the minute the leaf is formed. and In
many cases the leaf falls while yet
fresh and. green. In 175S botanist
named Duhamel advanced the theory
that the change was caused by the
rupture of thin texture between the
leaf and the stem. In the middle OF
the nineteenth century there was dis.
covered. traversing the leaf-stalk and
touching the stem, a layer Of cork
tissue analogous to that of bark on
the tree. 1t was recognized at once
as interfering with the continuity be-
tween stem and leaf. The formation
Of this layer. however, is not general,
and is not observed in certain ferns.
in the beech tree, the poplar and
many others. Nevertheless, this dis
covery furnished the key to the
phenomenon. The leaf.stalk Is form
ed of strata of cellular tissue. One
of these strata bardens and tends to
being absorbed, and consequently on
one side or on both, the other strata
gradually grow together. The leaf
then adheres to the stem only by
fibrous, woody tissue-that is to say,
by a tissue to all intents and purposes
dead. This is broken mechanically on
the impulse Of the wind or under the
pressure of the weight Of the stem,
and makes the leaf fall. These Or
gans have not in them the strength
to sustain the cold during the winter,
and the tree dispenses with them

One Of Two ThlnQs.

A woman fell i'll. SO the story is told
and for the first time In his life her
husband had to work. It devolved
upon him to nurse the invalid, look
after a large family Of tow-headed
childreA milk the COW, feed the pig,
cook the meals, and tend straggly
half-acre of corn. At the end Of ten
days of these frightful labors he
staggered down to the general store
at the forks of the road and fell at the
doorway in an exhausted heap. The
storekeeper came out and said:
"Halloa, Anse, how's yore wife?"
"She amt no BETTER" moaned the
husband. II paid out a whole four
bits fer bottle of bitters fer her, but
it seems like hit don't do her no good.
I'm plumb wore Quit"
He paused a moment and sighed
deeply. 4

wishin' the old woman would git well
or somethin'!"-London Tit-Bits.

Movina Pictures In Education.


The use Of moving pictures in edu-
cation has had a real impetus in Ger
man ofiicial circles. according to infor-
nation recently received at the Uni
ted States bureau Of education. The
Prussian ministry of education is con-
sidering the feasibility Of employing
cinematograph films in certain
courses in higher educational institu-
lions. A number of film manufac-
turers are having an opportunity to
show what films they have that are
adapted to educational purposes.
A philanthropist has recently given
two fully equipped moving-picture
machines to the schools of Berlin.
One is to be used in the continuation
institute for higher teachers and the
other in the high schools Of Greater
Berlin.
Moving-picture films are now avail
able in Germany for anatomical. bio
logical and meteorological courses.
The manufacturers are confident that
an enormous field for their products
will be opened up when educators
realize the value of moving-pictures

As to SpelIlno.

Consolation for people whose spell.
fng Is faulty was contained in the ad-
dress delivered recently by Sir James
Donaldson. principal of st. Andrews
university, to the education section of
the British assoc'a alton in Dundee.
Nothing like our spelling existed any
where, he said. Other nations had
phonetic spelling. but we were terri
bly, behind other nations. I'VE are
slaves of the printers. II we do not
spell according to them. they change
% over and over again-and there is
no redress" The right way for teach
erS was not to regard spelling as Q
valuable exercise at all. Everyone
should be allowed to spell as they
liked. just as Shakespeare did, just as
our ancestors did, and just as many
parents Of the present day would like
their children to learn.

LURING THEIR PET PUSSY
How Two London Ladies Persuaded
the Persian Cat to Descend
From q Tree.

I was coming home rather late
from the theater the other night, says
Robin Goodfellow, and all was quiet
as l walked down beneath the trees
in our modest suburban road. Then,
quite suddenly, came upon q roman
tic little scene in the front garden
of one Of the most respectable Of the
villas.
Beneath two tall trees a fire of
sticks had been lighted, and over 1t
bent the shivering forms Of two
young ladies in evening dress. no
ticed, to my surprise, that one OF
the ladies had a frying pan in her
hands, and an appetizing smell OF
bacon rose into the air. I wondered
whether these two products Of city
civilization were playing at the SIM
pie life; but the next day I found
the incident had q more prosaic ex.
PLANTATION.
The favorite Persian cat had been
missed during the evening, and at
length had been located in the upper
boughs of one Of the trees. All bland
ishments failed to persuade her to
come down, and yet her owners re-
fused to lock her out for the night.
At last they remembered that she
would always make her way into the
kitchen in the morning and sit
shifting at the frizzling bacon, and
they decided to fry some bacon at
the bottom Of the tree to attract her.
! believe that after half an hour
over the fire the ruse succeeded, at
the cost Of two bad colds.-London

Fortescue, the Keeper Of printed
books" The retirement of that official.
after forty-two years of service,
focuses new attention upon what has
been called the greatest library in the
world. When Panizzi took charge OF
the museum in 1897, 1t had a collec-
ton of $4,000 volumes, all Of them
badly arranged and poorly catalogued
When he relinguished his charge.
thirty years later, order had been
brought out of the chaos, and there
were 100000 books in the library.
Doctor Fortescue succeeded him in
1879. and since that time the contents
of the museum have grown by leaps
and bounds. II now holds about A.
100000 volumes, arranged on shelves
which. II put end to end, would stretch
q distance of 46 miles, with the num-
Der increasing at the rate Of $4,000
volumes a year.
In 1880 work was begun on thN
great catalog. and there are now $50
volumes of it, from Is to 20 being
added every year. A complete set Of
these printed lists-and they have
mot yet been brought up to date
costs nearly $500. 1t is an interesting
fact that this mighty collection Of
books is the youngest Of the great
libraries of Europe, and began with
out any regular income.-Boston

YOUNG PRINCES OF INDIA
Extravasanee and Luxury That Sur

A sketch in st. Nicholas tells Amer
lean boys and girls, under the title of

about the lives of some of the future

rajah in his garden, was amused to
notice that, as he moved about among
his guests, servant followed carry
ing a cup which he kept always with
in reach of his masters hand. The
rajah would take a sip Of tea, and
with perfect unconcern set his cup
down in mid air. With unfailing dex-
terity the saucer was placed under 1t
by the servant in time to avoid acci-
dent. One prince had, suspended
from the ceiling. a silver couch which
was kept gently swaying while he
slept or read. Another had beauti.
