Problem Of a Bullet Fired From the
Rear Of Moving Train.
Replying to the question, 'Supposing,
to use an overdrawn illustration, that
railroad train was going forward at
the rate of 100 miles per minute and
gun was fired from the rear of the
train in the opposite direction. II the
velocity of the bullet as it left the gun
would also have been 100 miles per
minute had the gun been discharged
by person standing on solid ground,
would the bullet leave the gun at all.
and if so, at what rate of speed" Ed
gar Lucien Larkin in the New York
American says:
'The bullet would leave the muzzle
of the gun with speed of 100 miles
per minute; the force of the explosive
in the gun is the cause of the motion
Of the bullet, not that of the train. At
the exact end of one minute the rear
of the train and the bullet would be
200 miles apart. Before the gun is
fired the bullet is moving with the
train; at time of firing the bullet is
at rest during an infinitesimal Of time
or differential of time. The time in
between the stopping Of the motion of
the bullet with the train and beginning
of motion from the train is mathemat-
ically called consecutive state and is
such an important element of human
knowledge that the highest branch Of
mathematics, the differential calculus.

SENSES OF PLANTS.
A Theory That Flowers See and Hear

A Theory That Flowers See and Hear
and May Even Talk.
Jean Viaud-Bruant, who is one of the
most famous French horticulturists,
has just published little book on
flowers. in which he advances the the
DRY q believe it is not entirely novel;
that flowers both see and hear. AS a
young man, he says, he began to study
flowers. for which he has always had
a passion, and he sought to understand
the habits, of the blooms which he cul-
tiyated. When he saw the growing
plant reach out toward the necessary
support he asked himself whether the
action was the result of volition and
whether the plant had Dyes,
N Yiaud-Brnaft is now apparently
convinced that flowers both hear and
see. There are some that are sensitive
to anaesthetic substances, ether in par
ticular. which suggests the existence
of a nervous system. like that Of
nervous woman. And he would even
credit them with something analogous
to the power of speech.
Zone knows" he writes. that the
'perfnme Of flowers is manifestation
of vegetable life. living radiation.
Perfume is as much a vibration as an
olfactory sensation. The perfume is
the voice Of the flower. A bouquet is
a wordless romance. Each perfume or,
rather, each odorous sensation CORE
spends with certain rate of vibration.
There is an analogy between the per-
ceptions of sound, light and scent. The
strong scent corresponds with the deep
notes. while the delicate odors CORE
spond with the shrill notes" Paris

Not a Very Big Bluff.

There is story of man from out of
town who came to New York and fell
not among thieves. but liars. He lis
tened to the tales Of those who hailed
him about the city. and they came at
last to Spuyten Duyvil. The Palisades
were pointed out to him, and he heard
that the Hudson river scenery was the
most beautiful in the world. He turn
ed away and was not impressed.
But" they demonstrated, "those
bluffs of the Palisades are 300 feet
high!'
"Well,' he returned sadly, "I've
learned to know that that isn't very
big bluff in New York"
The story does not go on from there,
but it ought to add, as If it were a
moral, that that man knew New York
very well for stranger.-New York

THE RULING PASSION.
Saving His Own Life Was Strictly
Business Proposition.


Business Proposition.
In the Wide World Magazine NAL
colin Savage Preacher tells the story of
German mountain climber who did
not forget to be economical even in the
midst of deadly peril.
A party was crossing glacier on the
plope of Mont Blanc when one of the
travellers called to the others to stop
rnd listen. Strange cries came from
the ice beneath their feet.
"SOme one has fallen into crevasse!'
exclaimed one of the party. His
ready beyond help"
1--WE must do what we can in any
ease." responded one of the guides. and
he began long and perilOus descent
into what proved to be the bosom Of a
concealed crevasse. At the bottom
they found the poor gentleman who
had fallen. He was. however. quite
unhurt, sitting comfortably upon a
bench Of ice.
We've come to save you" said one
of the guides.
"You save me?" answered the gen.
tleman quite TRANQUILITY. How do you
know want to be saved?"
Because you called to us for aid.'
said one of the bewildered guides.
Perhaps did," replied the German,
perhaps / didn't. You came anyhow
Now, what'll you take to rescue me?
And before he would allow the guides
to hitch him to the rope and drag him
to the surface he compelled them te
set down in writing the exact amount
they would require for the perform
ance Of their life saving duty. He was
business man, whatever any ont
could say against him, and, moreover
he knew the guides of Switzerland.

hour at the ironing table, and is al
ways ready for emergencies. In the
second illustration is shown a dress
of blue taffeta, with an underwaist
and pleated ruffles extending across
the back to the edge of the front, of
white crepe de Chine, stamped with
charming Pompadour design. This is
frock which may serve as sugges-
ton for the many different ways OF
using materials. 1t would be charm
ing in all one color, and would also he
striking if the treatment of the ma
terials were reversed, and hte taffeta
used for the ruffles and the crepe dc
Chine used for the front of the skirt
and overwaist.
For evening wear and dancing the
frocks are very plain, with long,
straight bodices, which nave little or
no trimming upon them. The skirt is
it's own trimming, usually beng cut
in a very bouffant effect. The lttsle
fsh-tail train seems to have had us
day. for the most of the frocks just
clear the floor. Of course, here and
and there we see a dinner gown with
a round cut train, but even that is ar
ranged so that it may be easily dis
posed of if the measure of the dance
allures too strongly.
Capes are having wonderful Vog-
ue, which will undoubtedly last into
winter and be adapted to fur for the
colder months. At present they are
lined with brilliant and heavily bro
caded Innings. Soft, thickly piled ma
terials such as duvettyne velvet or
plush, will be used for these, and will,
no doubt, be as effective as the capes
in the lighter-weight materials. The
winter wraps will undoubtedly DE
closer fitting than the summer ones.
The attractive summer tailored suits
are being made with these cape wraps
and many dresses in such materials
as heavy, coarse linen and pique are
made with capes of the same.
A great deal of brocaded silk is be-
ing used by old and young. Evening
SLIPPERS are made, of the same mater
ial as the gown, or in cloth OF gold
and Silver, one of the fabrics hand
some enough to wear with these ex'
quisite gowns.
The trend of hair dressing seems te
be toward the knot at the nape OF the
neck, or high and close to the head, al
most of the new hats are very closely
fitting turbans.
Fancy ornaments, such as tiny
feathers in diamond studded mounts
are worn in the hair. These ornaments
cannot fail to be most popular as the!
far surpass those worn in former
years.
The manufacturers are working
overtime to make new feather fan
cies of numidi and ostrich with which
to trim our hats. And our old frlent
Dobbin will no doubt come in for his
full share of the popularity.

Chantilly, embroidered net, and me-

Some charming gowns have been
made with shoulder capes and Henry

waist of cubic design, subduing the
harsh crude colors into an artistic
creation.
Another frock in which lace is used
in an unusual combination has bod
ice of lace simply draped, while the
skirt has tunic of Chantilly with a
circular velvet band at the bottom.
The lower skirt is also of lace, and a
velvet belt with a gorgeous rose COM
pletes the costume.
After lace comes maline, which is
richly handsome in black, yelling a
gown of cream colorec .ace girdled by
a brilliant sash.
Organdy is having great vogue in
Paris. 1t is used for tunmics on
gowns of satin, in both black and
and white, and is trimmed with bands
of satin, and-Shades of past hot

Whole organdy dresses are worn a

THE COMBINED CROP of spring

THE COMBINED CROP of spring
and winter wheat, experts declare, will
exceed the government estimate Of nine
hundred million bushels. The largest
spring wheat yield ever recorded in this
country was in 1912, when the farmers of
the Northwest harvested 33O,O00,000 BUSH
els The acreage from which that crop
was gathered was not SO large, by con-
siderable margin, as that which has been
seeded this season. If 100000 bushels
can be added to the 1912 total this year,
and the winter crop turns out as large as
now indicated, the billion-bushel wheat
harvest will have been achieved. A crop
of that size will mark new epoch in the
history of the country's agriculture.
