10 TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
Two Methods That Result In Pictures
Which Closely Resemble Good
Steel EngraVinqs.

Here Is way to take Impressions
of plants which will resemble steel en-
cravings. Two of them. in fact: take
your choice
The first method Is to take half a
sheet Of fine woven paper and cover
it's surface with sweet oil; let 1t stand
a moment or two, rub off the super
fiuous oil and hang 1t in the air. When
1t Is fairly dry, move 1t slowly over
the flame of a candle. lamp or gas
burner (caution) until it is quite
black, lay the plant or leaf on 1t.
place a clean piece Of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half a hinute; then take up the
plant and place 1t on the paper on
which it is desired to leave an impress
sion. Cover 1t with a piece Of blot.
ting paper and rub as before The
engravinglike impression will then
appear.
By the second method, burn a COM
mon cork until 1t is reduced to a
powder, add a teaspoonful Of olive oil
and mix into thick paste. Next
paint the under side of the leaf with
a camePs hair brush, lay the leaf care
fully, painted side down, upon a piece
Of clean paper. press 1t In a book un-
der strong and even weight for
about quarter Of an hour and remove
the leaf carefully from the paper. AS
before, the impression will appear
thereon.

SHE KNEW WRGINlA's LAWS
How Maiden Lady Of the Old Domin-
Ion Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.

II women ever come to sit on the
bench in old Virginia. there's a NAL
den lady living on her ancestral acres
just across the Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the job
Recently q realty company bought
a tract of land the other side Of her
property and plated it into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital, they instituted proceedings to
run public road through the old
lady's land; worse, as she learned,
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part OF her trim
lawn, dear with its memories Of her
childhood.
She consulted her lawyer, only to
be told there was 10 help for 1t,
since private property may, under the
law, be condemned for Subtle use. no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless inroad on her cherished lawn,
the old lady buried herself in the
musty law library handed down from
an ancient ancestor, once prominent
judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later a party OF
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains to lay out the line of road, they
found the owner, spade in hand, just
setting out the last Of phalanx Of
young apple trees squarely In front
of the lawn and right in the line OF
the proposed highway.
IF you set foot inside this orchard"
she said defiantly to the astonished
surveyors, I'll have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass.
With that she called up half dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-
hind the barn for the summons.

POST WITH A HISTORY
MONUMENT TO STUDENTS VAIN
EFFORTS TO GET EDUCATION.
Russians Heroic Attempts to Work
His Way Through Cornell UnIVSr-
sity Told by Former ,Ambassa-
dor Andrew D. White.

Andrew D. White, former ambassa-
dor to Russia and Germany, points out
stone post on the university campus
az monument to student who tried
to work his way through the university
soon after Ezra Cornell sent out call
for students In all parts Of the world
who were willing to work to obtain
useful knowledge.
i shall always think of that stone
post before Sage college as Pelechin's
monument" said Mr.. White to a pro-
fessor recently. "Pelechin had come
all the way from Kiev, Russia. in re-
sponse to the call to a university
where poor men could work their way.
1t was Mr.. Cornell's idea that all the
students should be at least partly self
supporting.
THE Russian had little money left
on his arrival and came to me to ap-
ply for work. | reported the matter
to Mr.. Cornell, and when a few days
later Mr.. Cornell bought this post
from the stone cutters and had 1t un-
loaded before the south building. Pc
lechin got the task of putting 1t in
position. The poor fellow was unac-
quainted with the use of tools and was
very awkward. 1t was several weeks
before he got hole dug which would
accommodate the post in its proper
position. His strange methods OF
work attracted the attention Of many
OF his fellow students. and they
named it Pelechin's monument.
name by which 1t was known for many
years afterward.
1T soon turned out that a monu-
ment was needed. Pelechin, soon be-
came not only deficient In funds, but
deficient in scholarship. He made he
roic struggles to master his studies
without avail, and | finally succeeded
| In persuading him that the best thing
| he could do was to return to his home
in Russia.

turned up a few years later. He came
to my Office and told me he had saved
$500 and proposed to complete his

thrift and his determination to sue
