Chemical Rain.

1t has long been known that the
dirty rain of every smoky region is a
disastrous thing for vegetation. 1t
now appears probable-or at least
possible-that but slightly poisonous
rains, such as occur over an ordinarily
smoky city, may seriously injure fruits
and flowers. J. w. Harshberger, OF
the University of Pennsylvania, sug-
eests that the spots on leaves and
fruit caused by the acidity of rain
drops may serve as the points OF
entry of parasitic fungi. He says. "A
fungus, which is stimulated to growth
by an acid condition of the cell sap,
would find ideal conditions for the
commencement of growth by entering
areas influenced by acid raindrops.-

artists are doing their duty to their

the greater part of their lives, in

Sees Distinct Cleavage.
The last twenty years have pro-
duced a distinct cleavage between the
kind of work Americans living abroad
produce and that produced by men
who, after finishing schooling, return
to pursue their profession among
their own people," said Mr.. Browne.
AN American who has made his
permanent home abroad can not paint
pictures with a real American atmos-
phere and feeling. Very little, conse-
quently, can be expected OF him that
will help in the upbuilding of national
art.
Expects Much of Fair.
Il think" continued the artist, the
San Francisco Exposition will illus
trate the striking truth of what |
say II it does, it may lead to benef-
cient results for American art.
"A distinctive American art is al
ready in course of development. and
in order to contribute to that de-
velopment and encourage the younger
artists to do their maturer work in
their own country, every opportunity
for a frank and fair display OF their
work should be offered at San Fran
cisco"

Lady Cromartie has written many
verses and short stories, as well as
one or two spiritual" books. She is
the exact opposite of her sister, the
strenuous Lady Constance Stewart
Richardson, whose eccentricitieS have
SO shocked court circles.
While Lady Constance dances in
music halls and swims, shoots ana
rides and makes herself generally
conspicuous the world over, Lady
Cromartie dreams and writes. She
cares nothing fCf sport and her sis
ter's life is great worry to her.
Lady Cromartie is by no means
good looking. She is a small and
very dark woman, with rather la
mouth, black eyes and an olive COM
plexion. But among her own artistic
set she is found very interesting.
She owns a large property In the
north and often has helped her sister
Constance out Of financial difficulties.
She believes implicitly in the theory
of reincarnation and tells her friends
In the most matter of-fact way OF
things she remembers that happened
a few hundred years ago, when she
was called someone else.
Her book will contain the interest
ing reincarnation "reminiscences OF
many other men and women who be-
lieve in the same doctrine, including
those Of Mrs. James Brown Potter,
who declares she was an Egyptian In
the time Of the Pharaohs.

LONDON, Nov. Prince Henry.
the Kings third son, is now quite
settled down at Elton and is treated
by his school fellows like any ordi-
nary commoner, much to his delight
He was greatly embarrassed at
hrst, particularly the first Sunday,
when all the boys awaited outside the
lower chapel after the morning serv-
Ice In order to inspect him and see
what he really was like. Then he
conceived the brilliant idea of being
caned in order to be brought down to
the common level.
The idea proved most successful
He was well walloped by Lord Ivor
Spencer Churchill, son of the Duchess
or Marlborough, the former Consuelo
Vanderbilt, for failing to respond 20
the call of boy, which as a flag he
Is hound to do.
Since then the Prince has been a
great pal" with all the boys of his
own age. He is a great chatterbox
and has a fondness for letting loose
wild insects in the classrooms. He
inherits his mothers thrifty nature
and is much chaffed by his chums
when he goes to Rowland's famous
Elton shop, where eatables are bought.
He is not one whit perturbed by the
free fight to reach the counter He
always argues about the prices and
tries to strike a bargain.
Among his chums are Lord Worces-
ter, heir of the Duke of Bedford ;
Lord Morven Cavendish Bentinck,
son Of the Duke Of Portland, and
Victor Seeley, son of the Minister of
War.

Varia bic Tides.

A great difference exists in the range
Of the rise and fall of the tides be-
tween the atlantic and Pacific sides
of the iSthmus of Panama. The mean
level of the oceans is the same on both
sides, but at Colon the mean range
from high to low water is only about
seven inches. whereas at Panama it is
more than twelve feet. This great
difference is explained by the existence
of tidal obstruction, which prevents
the Atlantic tide from entering the
Caribbean sea. Panama, on the other
hand. lies at one corner of the triangu-
lar area of the north Pacific ocean. and
in areas of that shape the range OF
tide is usually great at the corners
