papy is the only real obstacle to the
formation of a shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford TO lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2-3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some OF
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

1t seems only yesterday that the
first trayful of cocktails jingled into
a parior In my town as q prelude to

up and down the maple-arched thor

When that first tray appeared at our
elbows. at that difficult moment when
we gentlemen Of the provinces, rather
conscious at all times of our dress

the right or left arm we should offer
the lady we are about to take in. we
were startled, as though the devil had
invaded the domestic sanctuary and
perched himself on the upright piano.

The treasure-hunting party from

searching Cocos Island in the Pacific

buried there by pirates many years
ago. has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spoiis. The NeimOre

three gentlemen financially interested
in venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit
Two other unsuccessful attempts TO
locate the buried gold and jewels of
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith of the members OF
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information of the
exact position of the accumulated
boards.
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima in 1920 consisting of gold
bullion and articles to the value OF
about s25 10000 and the other treas

CuIiarlty-Some of Them
Can Be Seen.

Violets open at three Or four a. m,
closing about eleven or tweive; some
wild roses about four and five a. IN;
night shade, about six in the morning;
buttercups and lilies are open by

morning until six In the evening.
Wheat flowers last only about fif-
teen or twenty minutes-just long
enough for their>pollen to be carried
by the passing wind-then their day
is past The hibiscus and calandrinia
remain open for only three or four
hours. but foxgloves last six days and
some orchids from thirty to eighty
days.
Every single flower we look at has
some little popularity of its own. Some
of them we can see. butO not under.
stand. even by thorough examination.
There are orchids which throw their
insect visitors into a shower bath OF
water. so they have to get out. by rea-
son of their wet wings. up a certain
path. where they touch the pollen
masses and stigma. There are other
orchids which throw the pollen masses
at the insect.
The yucca is Iily-iike plant, resem
bling the aloe. and a particular sort
of moth lives wholly upon it.
When the flower opens. this moth
proceeds to knead up ball OF pollen
and inside places an egg. then thrusts
the ball down into the ovary of the
flower.
There a grub develops from the egg
and eats the pollen. and some of the
pollen fertilizes the young seed. I.
yuccas died out the moth would be ex.
terminated, and II the moths were de-
stroyed no yuccas would ever set their
seed.

P0ISONS FOUND
IN SOME PLANTS
Bundles of 0xalate Crystals Are
Offensive to Rabbits and
SnailS.
CBy myrtle IRONS)

The part played by the powerful
chemical substances secreted in the
various parts of many plants is i'm
perfectly understood. Free prussic
acid in some plants was the remark
able discovery made not long ago,
and now Professor Peche has CON
cluded that in the cherry laurel this
poison is stored in various tissues as
a reserve plant food. Other German
biologists have been seeking to prove
that various plant poisons give pro-
lection against enemies. Results
have been obtained by Prof. w. Pey-
er tending to show that the various
acids. oils. alkaloids. glucosides. and
other chemicals of plants are poison
Gus or offensive to rabbits, snaiis,
insects. and other creatures. In the
pastures the plants yielding medicinal
oils are avoided by both grazing and
wild animals. The acid bearing plants
such as are used for human food rs
salads. are poisonous to snails and
slugs, and are protected nearly as
effectually against rabbits. Beans,
peas and lentils contain some un'
known poison that causes rabbits and
mice to refuse the seeds until the
active principle has been removed by
several washings. An acid product of
Seeding roots-such as maize. oats
and rye-repels snails. as do hairy
stalks and sticky surfaces. and plants
having bundles of calcium oxalate
crystals are offensive or poisonous not
only to rabbits and snails but even to
man.
