OLD ENGLISH JURIES
They Were Fined or Beaten for Not

Queen Mary 'ill for three days. and
she came out of her sick chamber to

a head.
Elizabeth followed the same plan,
and the practice of fining English
iuries did not cease until 1870, when
a fine inflicted by the notorious jeff
reys was rescinded on appeal.
In some old time courts of quarter
sessions" the injunction to lay their
heads together had to be carried out
by jurymen in literal fashion. When
they began to consider the verdict they
were supposed to dive beneath the
level of the jury box and remain in
that cramped position until decision
was reached.
Meanwhile the court usher stood
near the box armed with a long wand
of willow. If any juryman ventured to
emerge above the surface before the
twelve minds were agreed down came

Crocodile In q Tree.

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging In the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
As the place was fully half mile
from any water 1t was difficult to ac-
count for the crocodile's strange posi-
ton. When questioned about the sub
ject the natives explained that 1t was
put there by an elephant. 1t seems
that when the elephants wade into
the Lake Ngami to battle the croco-
dies are in the habit of worrying
them and biting their legs. Some
times when an elephant Is annoyed
beyond endurance 1t picks up Its tor
mentor In its trunk. places 1t among
the branches of tree and leaves 1t

MOTIONS OF PLANTS
Some Forms of Vegetable Life Have
the Power Of Choice.

Some Forms of Vegetable Life Have
the Power Of Choice.
One of the chief distinctions be-
tween vegetable and animal life is
that animals have power Of choice
and of voluntary motion, while vege-
tables and plants grown only mechanic
ally by natural law. But the micro
scope seems to show that many vege-
table forms can move as easily as can
animals.
There is plant called Volvox globa-
tor, so minute that millions of it could
be put in wineglass, which is seen
to whirl like top across the ED of
the miscroscope. Some plants found
in our ponds, which are still more
minute, move habitually, as with an
apparent purpose.
Darwin, who gave closer study than
any other naturalist to climbing
plants, stated that these seemd to ex-
ercise the liberty of choice. Their ten
drills, in climbing over pieces of wood
with holes, will try one hole after an
other until they find one that pleases
them. He saw one tendril withdraw
itself after having located itself in a
hole for thirty-six hours.
Other plants will run long way
over the ground, refusing to climb the
trees in their path until they come to
peculiar species of tree, to which
they at once cling.-Harper's Weekly.

RAIN HAMPERS CORNELL
Hard Practice for Next Five
Days Before Pittsburgh Game.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Ithaca, n. Y, oct. 20.--A wet field and
frequent showers spoiled any attempt at
fast football practice for the Cornell men
to-day. Contrary to the usual Monday
custom, the varsity was in uniform and
took part in the signal drill. There was
no scrimmage.
The slight margin Of victory on Satur-
day over Bucknell has eliminated the list
lessness of last weeks practice. and the
next five days will undoubtedly see some
Of the hardest work the squad has had.
Cornell is matched with the University
OF Pittsburgh next Saturday, and a hard
game is expected. Carlisle's defeat at the
hands OF Pittsburgh has rather shaken
Cornell's assurance OF victory.
The injured men in the squad are i'm
proving rapidly. and before the end of
the week the varsity probably will have
resumed Its old appearance. Williamson
at left tackle. Cool at centre and Barrett
at quarter were badly missed In the Buck
nell game, and Fritzs injury during the
last period brought out strongly how much
Cornell depended on him for gains.
II was feared at first that his injury
might prove serious, but the speedy right
half has fully recovered and seems none
the worse for his knockout.
