The professor states that his obserVa-

and the use of the microscope in repro

organs of plants. The images Included
objects at different distances and even
persons and houses. Plants may. he says,
be classed with the inferior animals In
this respect.
He informs us that the epidermic cells
of a plant are In fact just SO many con-
vex lenses, as perfect as the facets or an
insects eye. In the common house ny
there are over 1000 such facets, while the
butterfly boats of 1900 eyes.
Each left cellule of a plant is analogous
to the facet of the fiy's eye, says Prof.
Haberlandt. and In the same way re-

probably a discovery for the future. Al
present we are forced to accept the
theory that they are not conscious. But
that they do see Prof -Haberlandt says
he has satisfactorily proved.

the world with incompetents are now
waving banners drawing resolutions and
proclaimfng that with enough laws and
school teachers, We can breed race of
supermen more wonderful than Nietzsche
ever dreamed.
1t won't work that way. Engenics is a
great, a splendid idea The right of a
child to be Well born is as real as his
right to be well cared for after birth
But even this new recognition of personal
rights and social responsibility will not
revolutionize the world: and one could
write on postal card all the laws which
II is safe to enact on this subject at
this time.
About all the Journal expects from the
new propaganda is the wedding out OF
certain undesira BILE stocks-like the
'Jukes'' and the 'Kallikaks'-and the
establishing of a higher and saner ideal
of marriage.
If known detectives can be segrega led

of the crime. and considerable share
of the social evil which now afiict the
world would die out In one generation.
With better ideals of marriages. the num-

suits are within reach, and are well
worth working for. But do not expect

"City Beautiful.
,om the Philadelphia Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
That term "the City Beautiful sounds
like tying pink ribbons around lamp
posts. Even as applied to civic art. as
distinct from city planning, the name is
sufficiently misleading. 1t is the idea
indicated by that unfortunate, falsifying
phrase that Raymond Unwin. in his adj
mirable Town Planning in Practice, !"
lampOons:
Civic art is too often understood to
consist of. filing our streets with marble
fountains, dotting our squares with
groups Of statuary. twining our lamp
posts with wriggling acanthus leaves or
dolphins' tails, and our buildings with
meaningless punches of fruit and flow
ers tied up with impossible stone rib
bons."
It is not the prettifying Of cities that
is the object of city planners. The
building of intraurban. intercity and
interstate transit facilities. the con-
struction of sewers. of cutters, Of gar
bage disposal plants. the destruction of
housing, the development Of port facili-
ties. the upbuilding Of the health of the
city through the creation Of Fairgrounds
and parks-parks primarily as health
agents, not prettification measures-all
of these and others are the chief aims
of city planning. There will, of course,
be a necessary improvement In the ap-
pearance of the city as the natural re-
suit of skill in city building, and that
improvement is an entirely propei. OBJ
ject. but it ought not to be permitted to
paralyze the whole movement through

THREE OF FAMILY DROWN,

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
PARIS, June 4. 1913.
A man and his two children were
drowned off st. Brieux recently. The
mother, who tried, and failed. to rescue
her children has gone mad.
Yves Marie Cudennec, his wife. and
their two boys-Joseph, who was eleven
years old, and Jean Marie, who was nine
went out in borrowed boat to pick uI
mussels at low tide from rock known as
the Bull, which is three miles out at sea
from st. Brieux.
AS they were landing on the rock a
wave capsized the boat, and all four were
sucked under the water. Cudennec and
Jean Marie disappeared at once. The
wife and the elder boy chung to the keel
of the boat, shrieking for help, for nearly
three hours.
At last the boy told his mother that his
strength was giving out, and she made
desperate efforts to hold him up. The
boy said Goodbye, mother and slipped
out of her numbed grip. She let go the
boat with her other hand and tried to
drown. At that moment two fishermen
pulled to the rock and rescued the wom-
an, who was raving mad.

Children and tuberculosis.
From the Chicago Journal.

Germany fought the potato beetle by
teaching her school children before the
plague came just what it looked like.
and Just how hungry, 1t would make
peasant children IT, allowed to gain a
foothold in the empire.
American educators are fighting an
UNNECESSARILY greater plague in SIM
liar way. They are teaching school
children the meaning and the menace
of tuberculosis. They are telling lads
and lassies in a thousand schools how
the white plague Is spread, how 1t can
be avoided, how when taken in time
it can be cured.
When the children thus taught grow
to manhood and womanhood 1t will be
less easy to rent death-trap rooms and

committee will return to Washington to
conclude Its hearings. What the final re-
suit of the inquiry will be is a matter
whith the big galaxy Of stars engaged
by both sides is discussing eagerly. The
committee under the resolution of the
Senate authorizing the investigation has
solely the power to Inquire and report.
Whether the Senate itself has jurisdic-
ton over any of the matters involved
in the controversy between the miners
and the operators is a grave question. 1t
is probable that as matter of inter-
state commerce the Senate may initiate
remedial legislation as to any "combina-
ton against the mine operators of West
Virginia." such as Is charged in the res
olution.
But beyond that even the members of
the committee themselves doubt their au-
thOrity to take any real action.
State Not on Trial.
THE state Of West Virginia is not on
trial here is the way Senator Swanson.
the chairman of the committee. states
the question: this committee has no
power to try any one for any offense. We
are simply here to determine the facts
and report them to the full committee on
education and labor. to be presented to
the Senate for it's information.
The members of the committee yester-
day We're entertained by several of the
leading citizens Of Charleston at break
fast, dinner and luncheon. Senator Mar
tine of New Jersey occupied the pulpit
of the First Methodist Church of Charles
ton, one of the leading churches in the
state at the morning service. He was in
troduced as a member of 1.-The American
house of lords and when he took the
platform he objected strenuously ito the
designation.
II am a member of the Senate Of the
United States" he said. land l am proud
to be. but I cannot accept the designa-
ton, in a republican form of government,
of any such cognomen as the house OF

he fnexhaustible But the rich mineral
lands of your state" he declared, have
been stricken with the cankering blight
of Unsuitable greed. The wealth of the
state has been taken from the many by
the few.
The senator's address caused consider
able discussion. but he was warmly greet
ed by the members of the congregation.
