Plant Grows Under Snow.

The Alpine flower called the SOL
danella, produces heat sufficient so
that it grows even under a consider
able 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. If the snow is
aeeper the heat melts a little hollow
chamber out about the plant, thus CIV
ing it room to expand and blossom. 1t
has been found that some of the
plants of the arum family, which are
common in the Mediterranean region,
develop a temperature of as high as
100 degrees when their buds are open
ing. To a less degree probably all
plants furnish their own heat under
certain conditions, but ordinarily veg
citation, being by nature adapted to its
surroundings, gets the heat it needs
from the soil, air and sun. Animals

At 4:30 an hours drill under arms
is held. This takes place on the drill
ground of the navy yard and keeps
the,men for three-quarters of an hour.
At 5 O'Clock comes the event of the
day, dinner.
Dinner to the seaman gunner's class
is always something to look forward
to. The menu is large and the food,
although simple, is the best that
money a buy. The class has a ca
terer who makes it his business to
see that the same dishes are not
served too often and that the food
is of the best quality.
From dinner until 1920 o'clock the
men are at leisure to come and go
as they please. They may go ashore"
or visit friends In Washington. or they
may remain in, quarters n study
their lessons for the next day. The
men are allowed to use civilian
clothes. For the most part, the stu
dents restrict their liberties to not
more than two nights a week and all
day Sunday.

the author accorded every privilege
with the sole understanding that the
dramatization should not allow the au-

faithfully carried out his part of the

only delighted Mr. Chambers but made
an extraordinarily strong appeal wher-
ever the play was seen.

the sensational interest which gave to
the novel its far-reaching command has
become accentuated for acting purpos-

its popularity.
1t may be said that "Ben-Hur" is a
distinct novelty in so far as its theme
is concerned; and the plot conceived
by Wallace has been so deity drama
tized by William Young and so clever
ly staged by Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger
that the production must be classed as
the most magnificent of the decade.
Even in these days of lavish expendi-
ture, the settings of "Ben-Hur" are in
comparably splendid. From the first
to the last scene the stage environ
ment is rich, colorful and artistic, with
light effects subtle, impressive and
beautiful. Its seventeen scenes are as
real as stage art can make them and

from the roof-terrace of the Palace of
