Wkaf Leads TO Diy0rce

An analysis OF 1000 divorces grant
ed In 1912 In Kansas has been made
by w. w. Wright, who holds the pic
turesque Office OF Divorce Proctor in
the government OF that commonwealth.
IL Is Mr.. Wright's business TO meet
and confer with those who seek the
severance Of the marital tie, and to en-
deavor to dissuade them from their
purpose.
The reasons for divorce he advances
are very different from those which
obtain in Pennsylvania or any other
state. The state Of Kansas officially
prescribes abandonment for one year
as a cause for divorce. whereas the
term in Pennsylvania 10 two. Former
marriage, cruelty. fraud, felony, phys
zeal incapacity are recognized causes
In both states. Besides these, divorce
may be secured In Kansas for habit
ual drunkenness or gross neglect or
duty, and In Pennsylvania for lunacy
and relationship within prohibited de-
grees. Both Kansas and Pennsylvania
prohibit marriage between nrst cous-
ins.

than the rather heavy-handed and ar.

considers the underlying and subtle

TO the city OF Colorado Springs and
the town of Manitou, Colorado, a
small body of land for the purpose
Of protecting the water supply of the
two towns.
The original bill was introduced by
Rep, Taylor. OF Colorado, and pro-
yides for turning over the land, which
is in the Pike National forest, TO the
cities at price OF sl.25 an acre,
thus eliminating 1t from the public
domain. But the secretary of agri-
culture and the, secretary OF the in
terror registered vigorous objection
to this plan. Rep. Taylor then intro
duced' redrafted bill, known as II.

water supply OF the city OF Colorado
Springs and the town OF MRnitou,
Colorado" This bill provided for the
cooperative management OF the wa
ter-shed I'm question by the secretary
OF agriculture and the city authori-
ties. TO which there could be no pos
sible objection.
The bill passed the house and went
TO the senate. Mere Is where the
fine" work took place. Senator ST.

the bill. II substituted for the words

A Bottled Plant

One OF the very unusual sights at
the Rothamstead/ experiment station.
in England, is a fern growing inside
hermetically sealed bottle. In one
OF his letters, Professor Alfred Wv
ian, OF the Ohio College OF Agricul-
ture, who Is making a tour OF the
world, describes this strange occur
ance: Ever since the station start
ed over seventy-three years ago. they
have each year taken samples OF soil.
These samples are placed in bottles
and sealed for future reference. One
sample OF soil taken thirty-five years
ago was placed In large bottle The
bottle, which was about two-thlrds
full. was sealed tight with sealing
wax. A short time afterward a little
fern started TO grow In the bottle, and
has been alive and growing ever
since. For thirty-five years II has
continued to live and carry on all the
life processes, although Theoretically
scale In the bottle. What an unusual
example that Is OF growth! Appar-
emily the fern Is thriving perfectly
and may continue to do so for long
time II no accident happens to It.

Race Fermentation

Bergfeld. the German investigator
holds the view that the, fermentation
OF the races Is due to feeding He
points out that In the animal world
color Is often determined by food, and
he contends that by chemical process
the same results are shown In the
different human races. According TO
this theory, the original man was
black, since his chief diet must have
been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables
contain manganates that ally them
selves with iron, constituting dark
brown combination" Bergfeld states
that Negroes who add meat and milk
tn their vegetable fare are never as
dark as those Negroes who eat only
vegetables.
Indians are red, 1t appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
lhaemoglobin, the red substance In the
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason or
the fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrat-
ed into the plains of Asia, became
shepherds, and lived to a great ex-
tent on milk, which contains chlorine.
and has a bleaching effect.
The Caucaians were another
branch who became still winter by
adding salt to their dietary. Com
mon salt is a strong chloride, and a
powerful agent In bleaching the skin
The effect can be seen, II Is declared,
in the case OF Negro children who
have been reared on = white"
dietary. They are never so black as
their kindred who have not abandon
ed yegetarianism.--Harp Weekly.
