of day and night it would revert to the old
twelve-hour alienation. This it also did.
But when, again, the plant was subjected to
a constant illumination, the memory sense
became confused and it would open and
shut its leaves sometimes at six-hour inter
walls, some times at twclvc-hour intervals,
as though it remembered both its lessons
but did not know which one it was expected
to be doing.
This has been seized by the few remain
ing scientists who hold the so-called "lost
cause" viz: the doctrine that character
istics secured by education can be inherited,
as great argument in their favor. If, they
argue, plant can be shown to possess such
memory as to be able to exert movements of
two entirely different kinds without any
especial outside stimulation, this must be re-
gardcd as pure memory. From this claims
have been made that nearly all the features
which are characteristic of human memory
can be found in rudmcntary form in the
vegetable world.

noted VISITORS HERE
Former Senator and Former New York
District Attorney Passed Through
City Yesterday.

Fargo had two distinguished visitors
yesterday afternoon for a few minutes
in the persons of William Travers
Jerome of New York and Joseph 4.
Dixon of Missoula, Mont, former
United States senator from Montana.
A few years 6 the name of Mr..
Jerome was one of the most promin-
emily mentioned in the country. His
leap into America public life came
through his activities in the prosecu-
ton of graft in New York when he
was district attorney during the adj
ministration of George B. McClellen
as mayor. Mr.. Jerome was not re-
nominated by his party for re-elec-
| ton but ran independently and was
| overwhelmingly reelected. In his
second term as district attorney he
prosecuted the first two trials of
Harry Thaw. Later Mr.. Jerome was
| defeated for the democratic nominal
| ton for governor of New York by
william r. Hearst.
Former Senator Dixon passed
through the city on his way home
from Washington to resume the prac-
tice of law. Senator Dixon in the last
year a been active in political life
as the political campaign manager of
Mr.. Roosevelt during his candidacy
for the republican nomination for
president and afterwards of the pro-
pressive party. Mr.. Dixon says tile
third party will continue its exist
ance and not join hands with any
other,
