The widespread botanical order of the solan-

braces plants of little APPARENT similarity. There
are as members of the great family, among
medicinal plants, for example, the hyoscyamus,
dulcamara beladonna, and datura; among
food supplies are the thorn apple Ga tree, In

adding to mans enjoyment If not to his vital
sustenance the capsicum or the chile OF COM

of them have tubers, however, and OF the tu-
bers, the potato holds the prize for its useful

plant we are interested in is the common po-

Now, the tuber is a curious provision OF ma
ture which by propagation can be carried on
by means of the regular and normal plant ac-
tivity of the seed above ground, and also by
anomalous stems, enlarged by the develop

which are below the ground. Potatoes nave

botanic kingdom, but when left to themselves
it may happen that more energy Is expended
in storing up food in the tubers, so that flow

of the indigenous potato, the Magia which SO at
tracted the attention of Darwin when he made
his famous voyage in the Beagle. AS far
south as the Chonos Archipelago (about 40
degrees SOUTH this plant grows wild near the
sea. The potatoes from it resemble English po-
tatoes, and have the same smell, but do not
stand cooking SO WELL Little effort seems to
have been made to develop the original tubers,
although they form good part OF the food
of the people, yet in this neighborhood the is
land of Chloe alone has about $4,000 acres I'M
der cultivation of the $4,000 acres devoted to
potatoes in all Chile. That the Europeans
found potatoes in Quito and Bogota need not
be denied, but there is no strong reason for
supposing that it was more than the same
plant already mentioned transported thither
before they came.
Quite another story is uncovered along the
coast of South America There the potato Is
considered European vegetable and is culti-
waited only by those whose experiences are
derived from the old world. No tradition con-
meets the few remaining natives with a past in
which the potato fourished and in the minor
instances in which the wild potato has been
found, experiment shows that it is inedible and
perhaps even poisonous.
This is the case in the wild potato of Par
aguay. Such plant has for years been
known to exist in the basin of the River
Parana. 1t grows on the plains, budding in
March and April, and ripening during the win
ter months Of May to August. The tubers are
about the size of walnut and sometimes
larger, soft and watery, full of irritating So

of poor taste They are not eaten nor are
they cultivated; the so-called edible potato is
considered an imported vegetable foreign to
native experience and Judgment, while the veg
etable that takes the place Of potato in all ma
tive dietary is the ''mandioca,' which has been
prepared as food from time immemorial by
the pre-Columbian inhabitants
The food potato of commerce made its way,
therefore, from it's prehistoric home in the
Andes to North America and via Europe to the
eastern shores of South America
Great credit belongs also to Sir Francis
Drake, who learned Of the potato about 1878,
either in Peru itself or in some nearby is
land. He took specimens back with him, stop
ping first in Virginia, where he helped to plant
them in 1885, In 1886 he arrived in England
carrying potatoes among his treasures. and

what sum the boatmen were entitled

seven shillings and sixpence to ten
shillings was the usual payment.
Mr.. Bright said to Mr.. Peabody,

Mr.. Peabody produced the money
and gave it to the boatman. He was
