Flowers Produce Heat.

The Alpine flower, called the soldan-
ella, produces heat suficieht so that tt
grows even under considerable covering
Of snow. If the snow is not too deep the
plant sends its stem up through the snow,
which is melted by the heat II the
snow is deeper the heat melts a little
hollow chamber, out about the plant,
thus giving it room to expand and bios

the plants Of the arum family, which are
common in the Mediterranean region, de-
velop temperature Of as high as 100 de-
grees when their buds are opening. To
a less degree probably all plants furnish
their own heat under certain conditions,
but ordinarily vegetation, being by nature
adapted to its surroundings, gets the heat
it needs from the soil, air and sun. AMI
mails are of higher order than plants
partly because they are more indepen-

made of horse hair. Customs officials
announced this a few days since af-

Originally considered by the in
spectors to be worth $1,000 to $1,000,
The value of the sO-called aigrettes
has dwindled to $500, and they prob
ably will be returned to the women
who were forced to surrender them.
Appraisers said the limitations are
clever and had been sold to Ameri-
can women in European shops at

suggesting a thousand or more OF

and hasten into the band wagon.
Such a petition, signed by .forty-one

written on stationery of the Boone

this is followed up by a petition

Glass-Owen bill and the Hitchcock
amendments, but that does not keeI
the average Democrat of Nebraska
from signing the petition. He doe:

OF the State Constitutional COnyen-

Warming TO the DeIegateA

The delegates to he Constitutional
Convention met in Baton Rouge at
noon Monday. On being organized,
former Governor n C.. Blanchard Of
Gaddo was chosen unanimously as
chairman He explained that it was
not feasible for all the people to|
meet in convention to- frame new
organic law, but had delegated this
authority to their representatives
Who shall act for them. The people
at the election decided first Of all
hat convention should be held at
the same time they fixed the powers
3f the convention, and then pro-
ceeded to elect their delegates to
frame the new Constitution within
the powers they had fixed. And they
did YET more: They reposed SUI
creme confidence in the delegates
| Dy authorizing them TO declare,
without submission, the Constitution
lthey will frame, within the powers
fixed, the fundamental law of the
State.
"You are not to do or attempt to
ldo," he said. anything inconsistent
with any constitutional provision.
tout of this general provision, how
lever, are excepted two subjects, VIZ:
] the States bonded debt maturing or
Jan. 1, 1914, and the Sewerage and

| This warning would seem to be
Timely. as there appears at the very
threshold of this convention a
scheme for legislation not provided
lnor mentioned in the call Of the eX-
ecutive of the State.
/ It may be declared with emphasis
/ that this convention is not designed
for any play at politics nor to pro-
! mote schemes that may profit Indl-
i Ividuals or trusts or combines or OF
special interests, that the functions
/ ,f This convention are specific and
when performed the convention Will
have reached an end and must adj
i iourn finally. and therefore any at
tempt at any other proceeding VIII
| be equivalent to a deliberate usur-
patton of authority.
| This view of the Caucasian Is
more forcibly expressed by former
i Governor Blanchard in his address
| to the convention:
| mo matter at what reasonable
| cost. the. good name of the State
must be preserved, her faith ano
| credit preserved untarnished.
sThat is the. great work commit
