How Seeds Travail

They have been discovering some ex-
traordinary plants in England, plants
which puzzled the botanists, to whom
they were either utterly unknown or
known as growing only In far distant
lands. One naturalist picked on the
grounds Of the Bradford sewage works
100 species Of foreign plants. Among
these were several Australian burrs,
Unison weed, prickly peoples from
Mexico, others native to Peru, Siberia
and the Azores. All were Of a prlckly
nature. Investigation proved that the
dust from wool combing establishments
was being used as fertilizer and the
washings Of wool were run into the
sewers. The burrs of these foreign
plants had come in the wool and had
grown. Other plants had sprung from
seed In rags and others been brought
in soil on foreign timber.-New York
