A STRANGE 81 NSE IN PLANTS.
(scientifc American.

(Scientiic American.)
Without eyes ears or sense of smell.
so far as we know, plants are appar-
entity affected by the presence of OBJ
jects that do not directly touch them.
In the case of animals objects produce
senses, but 1t is hardly probable that
plants have any of these. although the
discovery of lenses. analogous to those
plants. Yet they must have some fac
ulty nearly akin to ours. as Is clearly
shown by the experiments described
by S. Leonadr Basin. We know now,
Mr.. Basin asserts, that plants are
able to feel objects at a distance"
That is to say, they act as If they
were aware of the presence of a GER
tain thing. even though they may not
be in contact at all. He gives as fol-
lows a few Of the most startling cases
which have come under his notice:
Everybody knows that the sundew
catches flies. The leaves of this plant
are. of course, covered with tentacles
which. being very sensitive, close in
around the captive. But the foliage
of the sundew has another remarkable
characteristic. If a fly is liked about
half an inch from any Of the leaves a
most astonishing thing happens. After
a short interval It is seen that the
sundew leaf has moved perceptibly
toward Its victim. Soon the cruel ten
tacles have reached the unhappy fly.
There is now no chance to escape. and
with every moment the fate of the
il ""''"e moro certain.
"A few feeble wriggles and the fly Is
d, ,- .. une comes to hin of 1t,
it is very strange that a plant should
be able to go In pursuit of it's prey in
the indicated. Some plants
are very unscrupulous-unable to Sc
cure a living on their own account.
they prey upon the more hard-work-
ing of their fellows. Such Is the dod-
der. a most virulent parasite, which,
apart from the first few weeks of its
existence, has no roots or leaves and
exists as a blook-sucker on other
plants. The seed of the dodder ger
inmates in the soil, and from this
arises a curious threadlike growth.
Now 1t Is of vital importance that the
young dodder should be able to seize
hold of some suitable host. such as a
clever plant, for instance. 1t is strange
to watch the manner in which the
threadlike growth works in and out
among the grass stalks, seeking for A
victim. When it m within a GER
tain distance of a clover plant the
dodder grows forward at a very rapid
pace until a hold is secured. Even
the sturdiest plant must go down be-
fore the attacks of the cruel parasite.
The threadlike shoot is within a few
weeks multiplied by the thousand, and
from every point are produced suck
ers which draw away the life-piyine
sap.

AFFAIRS
ARE IRREGULAR
Deputy Public Examiner
Charges Loose Methods in
Administration of School

J. o. ~Sederberg, assistant public x
aminer of Minnesota. has filed with
the Polk county commissioners a re-
port in which he charges loose and
irregular work in connection with the
building and administration Of the
Fanny school, known as district No.
ESQ. Mr.. Sederberg began an inves-
tigation into the affairs early In the
spring. and his report has just been
filed.
Mr.. s%ederberg charges that the
treasurers accounts are fairly we'll
kept, but are not correct. In his re-
port he declares that he has correct
ed a few insignificant errors making
the correct balance in the treasury
at the end of Mrs. G. Pearls term as
treasurer. He states. however. that
lin addition to that balance on the
books. Mrs. Pearl is indebted to the
school district for 1898 borrowed from
the Crookston State bank and repaid
by the school districts"
He also charges that a trustee of
the school was paid a certain amount
for hauling for the school district,
which is against the state law.
THE building Of the school house
for this district has been handled in
a very loose and irregular manner
ne says. he says the district was
bonded for $500 to construct the
building, but that the actual cost will
exceed $4,000. He also charges ire
gularities in the payment for labor
and material.
The report also declares that j. A.
A.xtell was hired to drive a transpor-
tation wagon for the district. and that
he was paid $114 more than the con-
tract called for. Bonds for several OF
the ~treasurers were irregularly exc.
cuted, he declares.

CELEBRATION IS
A BIG SUCCESS
Many People in City Fourth
OF J~uly-Number of In
teresting Features

With hundreds of out Of town Wis
itors in the city. East Grand Forks
celebrated the Fourth of July in royal
fashion. The celebration undoubtedly
was n of the best and most success
full ever held in the city. From the
big calithumpian parade, which open
ed the days program. to the conclu-
SION of the combination band pro-
gram In the evening. there was not a
dull minute during the entire day.
Daniel w. Lawler. ex-mayor Of st.
Paul and defeated candidate for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination,
was the orator of the day. He scored
suffrage and the state democratic
machine" He spoke highly of the
work done by President Wilson, and
urged all to support the president in
his efforts to bring about peace in
Mexico.
The parade was one Of the best ever
seen in the city. The fancy and in
dustrial floats attracted considerable
attention, but no more than that given
was "Old Doc Yak" and his automo-
bile. Bydal & Bydal again won the
prize for the most beautiful float. One
Of the features of the float was the
statue of liberty, as represented by
Miss Frances Hogan.
The East Grand Forks band, under
the direction of Karl Rudow, made
it's first public appearance Saturday.
The players acquitted themselves ex-
c~eptlonally well, inc were the reci-
pients Of many encomiums for their
work. The band will be heard regu-
larly during the summer months.
The Conway and Grafton bands. also
did much to make the celebration a
success. The combination concert
given in the evening attracted a large
number of people, and proved excep-
tionally enjoyable.
D. j. McDonald's trained horse and
dog act was n of the big features OF
the day. Although Mr.. Mcdonald,
who trained the horses and dogs him
self. has appeared at fairs in north
western Minnesota and North Dakota,
it was his first public appearance in
MS nome town. The act was one of
the best OF it's kind aver seen in either
city, and we'll deserved the. enthusiast
tic praise it received.
q. S. 1verson, secretary Of the cele-
.bration organization. deserves a great
deal of credit for the success of the
program. Mr.. Iverson worked indie
fatigably to make the celebration a
success, and the excellent manner in
which everything turned out was
largely due to his efforts.
The sports program was enjoyed bv
a large number. The events were m.
usually interesting. "

HERE'S A FREAK
SHOT FOR

Here is a tale of one Of the most
remarkable shots ever made at golf,
just reported from the Kekionga Golf
club at Fort Wayne, although it hap
pened last fall.
Wright Dodez was playing Fritz
McCulloch in the semi-inals for a
trophy. His drive was short and he
hit a long ball on the approach. The
ball went among the branches Of an
apple tree.
The ball was finally discovered, half
embedded in a big mellow pippin
which had dropped into the crotch
of the branches.
Dodez elected to play the ball from
Its lie. Climbing a tree. he hooked a
leg over a limb, splattered the apple
all over the links. and his ball tore
free and rolled to the edge of the
green. He ran down a long put and
halved the hole.

Richie admirer n when he had a
chance to lay $1,000 even on his

Welsh reported from P%orthcawls.
Wales that his condition is all he
could wish. In a statement to a Lon
