PRESENTS SOME NEW TRUTHS
Somewhat Pessimistlc Writer Comes
Forward With Considerable Food
for Thought.

When, in the course of human
events, It becomes necessary to arouse
a people to a high pitch Of emotion
and dissatisfaction in order that they
may be willing to get together and
throw off a rule that has grown op
pressive, inefficient and antiquated, II
will always be found efficacious to get
up some kind of high-sounding docu
ment which can be thundered forth in
hypnotic frenzy by orators, and which
pays more attention to rhetoric than
to the truth.
We hold practically no truths to be
self-evident, and certainly nothing
could be farther from the truth than
that all men are created equal We
believe that they are endowed by
their Creator with practically nc
rights which are not readily alienable;
that no rights are more easy to alien
ate or moro often alienated than the
rights to life, liberty and the pursuits
of happiness. and that all governments
all the time ALLEVIATE these alleged
rights of thousands of its people with
out the slightest whimper. In fact
a government may pay almost no at
tention at ali to the needs of ma
jcrity OF its citizens and yet be called
democratic.-Life.

STUDY or PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
Wonderful Instrument Designed by
Professor Bose Reveals Facts
of Much Interest.

The work of Prof j. C. Bose has
attracted much attention. BY means
Of ingenious and extremely sensitive
apparatus he makes the plants tell
their own story-write it out, so to
speak, in black and white. His res
onant recorder" will make a record OF
the throbbing of the leaflets of the
telegraph plant. These pulsations are
so weak and microscopic that a
weight as slight as the four-hundredth
of a gram viii stop them. The instru
ment works by a sort OF induction
through the tuning of its parts to vi
brate in unison. Its record consists
of a series Of dots or little punches
thus obviating the resistance due tc
friction that a continuous line record
would involve. Its delicacy is SO
great that a time interval as small
as the thousandth part of single
heart beat is recorded.
This sensitiveness is quite essen
tial in studying plant physiology. The
plant biophytum is eight times as sen.
sitive to an electric current as a
human being, mimosa ten times more
sensitive. Another of Professor Bosses
wonderful instruments he called the
