CAN DO WITHOUT ALBUMEN
Not Necessary to Plant Life, but Its
Absence Means That Growth Will
Not Be Natural.

That albumen, the nourishing mat
ter stored in the seeds of many
plants, Is not essential to the devel-
opment of the seed, has been shown
by experiments in making seeds ger
inmate after they have been deprived
OF their albumen. BY this starving"
process queer vegetable specimens
have been obtained, many of them
dwarfed or deformed, but it has
proved that vegetable matter may at
tain growth without being nourished
by albumen.
1t Is believed now that albumen is
only a reserve food Intended to sus-
tain the young plant until it has be-
come strong enough to seek its own
food. II put to the test the young
plant can dispense with this reserve
food, but not without suffering from
the privation.
These researches go to prove the
possibility of creating monstrous
plants at will. IN the same way Ca
mile Daresle produced at will de-
formed chickens by interfering with
the normal evolution of the egg, Ell
Their by vanishing a part of its sur
face or by exposing it to too strong
heat, or by tormenting it in some
other manner.

WORTH VISIT TO CALIFORNIA
Sight Of Mount Shasta, In Its Glory
and Beauty, Well Repays Tourist
for Long Journey.

The most impressive mountain In
the world is Shasta in California. I'm
like Pixies Peak and many other of
the worlds great mountains, it is not
surrounded by a number of lesser
ones, and its tremendous height-14,.
44O feet-is appreciated by the eye.
1t is sublimely grand, and yet grace
fully beautiful. Against the blue of
California sky it's curved outlines seem
to sweep in the perfect segments of a
circle from the apex of the cone to the
horizon. Far up on it's base the dark
green OF the timber-line is met by the
virgin Wilderness of Shastas snow, and
then on, up and up, far past the sum-
mer clouds, points the alabaster pyra-
mid.
Shasta is an extinct volcano, and has
two large glaciers. The Whitney
glacier is visible from the railroad 1t
looks like a narrow streak of snow,
but 1t is over a mile in width, and is
scanned with great assures and crew.
asses.
At times natural banner is un.
furled from Shasta's Peak This is
called the "Row banner of Shasta"
1t only occurs when the gale attacks
the summit and blows the snow in
great gusts streaming against TIE
sky" as the railroad book has it. The
banner is seen most frequently in No.
vember.

HELD THAT DOG is PROPERTY
Tennessee Court In lite Decision Re-
verses Rulings That Have Been
Made on the Subject.

An action at law in Tennessee, In
Volving the seizure and sale at public
auction of two coon dogs for debt has
brought from the supreme court OF
the state ruling that dog Is prop
erty, although, as the report goes on
to say, previous rulings have been to
the contrary. II there Is any other
part of the globe that denies to the
dog the manifest right to be rated as
property the error should promptly be
corrected. In this instance the dogs
were all the earthly treasures the
debtor possessed, except the clothes
on his back Otherwise, of course, the
sheriff would never have levied on
them. The hardest-hearted officer OF
the law would not deprive a man of
his dog II anything else could be
found to take away. The thief in the
night, who occasionally lifts one, is
not a fit associate for a yeggman
There is another aspect OF the matter
which, in fact, has been a bone of
legal contention from very ancient
times. AS the supreme court OF one
state observed: 1T bears a tinge of
the ridiculous to contend that. how
ever many and however valuable dogs
man may own, he cannot be made
to pay his debts II he will only invest
his money in dogs" That dog is
not property has usually been argued
on the ground either that from its an
cestry It remains a wild animal in
such sense as not to be a leviable
possession, or that an animal which
is not good to eat has no intrinsic
value.

Oldtime Criminal Trials.

Criminal trials used to be conducted
with wonderful speed in London, espe-
cially after the court had dined. An
old observer of the ways of the cen
trail criminal court cites a case in
which a prisoner had picked pocket
of a handkerchief. Two witnesses
were called, the man robbed and a
constable, who stated the facts in a
few words. Then the judge addressed
the prisoner. Nothing TO say, sup
pose?" The summing up was as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, suppose you have
no doubt? | have none" Jury
Guilty, my lord Judge to prisoner;
I'VE have met before-we shall not
meet again for some time-seven
years transportation" Time Of trial,
two minutes ffty-three seconds. 1t
was said that these after dinner trials
did not average more than four min
-utes each.

 Fr~m Germany

Naw York, March s.-An extensive opium smuggling conspiracy. unearthed " government investigators came to light today and a Hobcken hotel keeper and two Mott street Chinamen were placed under arrest. Opium, alleged to have oeen smuggled from Germany, was seized in a house in Chinatown.
 The custom house officials learned that qualifications of the alleged plot extended through Germany to Persia. where the opium was grown. The method used by the smugglers consisted in employing a stevedore in Bremen who carried the opium on board ship concealed in life preserver. There it was given to a mem Der of the crew who acted for the snug glers. On arrival at New York an Amer ican longshoreman was employed to take the opium to the hotel in Hobol<en. whence it was removed to Yee Sang $ shop in Chinatown.
 It was the discovery of ls pounds of the drug concealed in a secret panel in the shop that led to the arrests.
 The custom house officials believe that this shipment is the first one that has arrived, It is estimated that the con- spirators figured on realizing more than 100000 annually.
