TEMPERATURE OF FLOWERS
New Observations Reveal That Yege
 table Growths Throw off Heat

From Harper's Weekly.
 Most people make the distinction be- tween warm -blooded' animals and "cold- -blooded" animals without know
 ing exactly where to draw the line. As a matter of fact, most animals large enough to be seen by the ordinary ob- server are warmer than the ordinary temperature. The heat of these ant mnls can easily be detected by means o1 delicate thermometers or thermo-eiec- tric indicators. The heat given or by q "cold- blooded" animal is that evolved
 Incidentally in the course of the ani- mals respiration. There is oxidation, O. burning" going on inside the cells ot the animal practically all the time that the creature Is alive, but most or the energy liberated by this chemical pro cess is transformed into movement or some other activity necessary to the life of the organism. In the case or warm blooded" animals, like birds and mammals, the same process is going or, but on much larger scale It seems that the live substance in these ami mals can carry on it's work only at q temperature considerably higher than that of the ordinary room tempera- tnre" and a part of the burning re- suits directly in heat.
 It may, therefore, be readily undefslood that plants as well as animals give off some heat, since oxidation is going on in the cells of plants as well as in the cells of animals. But it has not been known that plants ever or even sometimes pro- duce more heat than that incidental to the respiration process Dr. F. Leick of the University of Greifswalden has made some interesting observations on this point during the past year. He studied the flower of the tropica lplant moustera de liciosa, a member of the arum family, to which belong also the calla lily and our common tack-in-the- pulpit"
 By means of delicate mercury thermonl- eters and of thermo-electric needls he was able to observe that there were three dis tinct points of high temperature in the life of the plant. These high points or maxi ma occur on three successive days. The first is associated with the opening of the spathe A day later comes the highest temperature in connection with the she'd ding of the pollen.. The maximum of the third day is higher by a small margin than that of the first day, but does not come nearly up to that of the second Dr. Leck considers these exceptionally high temperatures to be produced quite apart from the ordinary process of breathing, and believes that they are in some way connected with the attraction of insects that may be of value to the species as dis tributors of pollen.

Insomnia and Tobacco

From the Century.
 The dominant characteristic of tobacco is the fact that it heightens blood pres sure. The irritant action by which it does this sometimes leads to still more harmful results. It's second action is narcotic; it lessens the connection be- tween nerve centres and the outside world. These two actions account for all the good and al lthe bad effects of tobacco As a narcotic, 1t temporarily abolishes anxiety and discomfort by making the smoker care less about what is happening to him. But it is a well known law of IT. edicine that all the drugs which in the beginning lessen nerve action increase it In the end. Thus smoking finally causes apprehension, hyper -excitabiity and mus cular unrest. Here ths inevitable law seems to give contradictory results Every physician knows that an enormous amount of insomnia is relieved by smok- ing, even if it is at the expense Of laziness the next day; at the same time every physician knows that most excessive smokers are troubled with insomnia.

SEASON HAS BEEN
 UNUSUALLY QUIET
Reports Portray Existence
 of Irregular Conditions
PIG IRON LESS ACTIVE
Industrial Situation Appears to Have Improved-Less Talk of Strikes. The Iron and Steel Industry
 Operating More Freely

New York, May 1o.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Trade reports portray the existence of irregular conditions and business on the whole was in all probability tended to decrease. Relatively best returns come from the southwest, where sunshine has aided most branches of trade and where improvement in the condition of winter wheat has tended to buoy sentiment. The season. has been an unusually quiet one for most retail lines in the east, vagaries of the weather having resulted in dis appointing demand for most lines of wearing apparel.
 In fact wholesale dealers are now find ing themselves in a position where they are compelled to wait on expansion in re- tail trade to furnish them with recorders and incidentally future orders are being held up.
 The industrial situation appears to have improved and there is less talk of strikes though disturbances have been encoun- tered in the anthracite coal fields, where mine work is still suspended, pending ad- justment of differences. Incidentally en1- ployment is more general, iron and steel industry is operating more freely, scar city of help is factor in the Connellsville coke producing region and blast furnaces as well as steel works complain of a growing dearth of common laborers. But pig iron is less active. firmer prices pre- vail for semi finished steel and railway buying of cars and rails, particularly the former is a feature. while heavy orders for rails are pending.

New York, May 10.-R. c. Dun x co. weekly review of trade will say;
 The movement of trade continues on larger scale than last year, and the cur rent statistics by which business acuvity is measured are still favorable.
 The rains have interfered with whole sale and retail distribution, and this has reduced somewhat the movement of dry goods the market, however, remaining on the whole very strong. The best reports come from iron and steel, the production of which continues very large, the daily rate during the month of April reach- ing a point in excess of the preceding high total.
 Continued heavy buying by the railroads is noted and prices of steel making iron and southern foundry iron show increased strength The larger producers of steel billets are filled up. and though some ma- terial is still on the market the supply Is now not more than equal to the de- mand Open hearth and Bessemer billets are firmer at $20. 30 and S21 Pittsburg. As expected the leading interest reported a substantial gain in thrilled orders during April, the increase amounting to 36o,044 tons.
 Dry goods manufacturers are inclined to take a more consef vative view of the possible trend of values to still higher levels Export shipments continue large, but new DuSneSS IS HSnt, altnOuSn fNp bales of goods were sold on the recent China movement. A large advance bus mess has been booked by jobbers of fall cottons, while wash fabrics and similar goods move slowly into consumption. Only 9o,0G0 pieces of print cloths were sold at Fall River last week. demand having fal- len off. but the fundamental position of the market is still strong because of the many goods due on old orders The po- siton of wooen and worsted mills Is strong insofar as business in hand Is con cerned, and there has been vSry general elimination of troublesome labor prob lens in mill centers.
 Footwear shows improvement. and while conservative buying Is still noticed in some quarters the majority of jobbers have placed good sized contracts for fu- ture needs. All kinds of leather are strong. but sole Is especially stiff, and fol- lowing some good sized trading in the latter tanners are now asking for an other 1 cent advance. and are holding secured oak backs at 40 cents and union backs 37 cents, tannery run.
