AT SPOKANE THEATERa.
Miss Margaret Ellington.

After Margaret Ellington appears in
"Kindling," the season for drama in
Spokane will be closed. Miss Ellington
will show there for two nights, July IL
and 10, and the production will be a
fitting finale to season that has
brought many of the leading plays to
the Auditorium theater.
There are no doubts to be attached
to the merit of Charles Kenyon s play,
in which the star appears. 1t is a vehi-
Gle worthy of her greatest effort, and
it tells a grim story of struggle of
the submerged tenth, lightened only by
the happy art of its climax and ending.
Primarily, the plot deals with the
mother instinct.
In the cast that supports Miss Hing
ton in presenting the play are Byron
Beasley, Frank Campeau, Ida Lewis,
Flora Robinson, Ruth Tomlinson, John
Jex, A. G. Kenyon, Frank Samp and
H. Benson.

Why does the sun-dew not put it,
leaf-tentacles in operation when rain
drops fall on them, and yet Is quicH
to capture fly? writes Andrew vii
son In the Illustrated London News
The only possible reply Is. that the
plant has learned to distinguish be
tween contact which means food ane
that which implies only the needed
rain.
The sensitive plant (Mimosa) droop,
its leaves on the slightest touch, but
not when it is watered. Placed in I
carriage, such a plant lowers its leave,
at first when the carriage moves, bu,
soon, accustomed to the motion, ex
pands them. You can give sensitive
plant ether and abolish its sensitive
ness, just as you rob the animal Of it,
consciousness when you administe,
the anaesthetics.
Clearly we have to revise all GU,
notions Of plant nervousness II WI
would explain the actions even Of the
daisies which shut up their petal.
