MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN RACE
Hindu Scientist Asserts Plants Can Be
Made to Suffer Greatly With
Their Nerves.

Except in structure, plants are
much like human beings, DR.. Ja-
gades Chuder Bose, Hindu physicist
of the Presidency college, Calcutta.
Informed an audience in the conserv-
atory of Columbia university. They
are distressingly nervous, the least
annoyance setting them on edge.
Cold weather is a nuisance to
them, hot weather an affection, and
they dread electric shocks like man
condemned to the chair. In uncon-
genial company they become easily
bored and droop with wearincss, and
when they can't stand it any longer
they have commissions and die in cx-
cruciating pain.
On the other hand they reciprocate
love and declare their happiness to
those in real sympathy with them.
Doctor Bose said he had learned
these things and many mor2 about
plants by means Of a machine with a
"frictionless" needle, which he has
invented. The machine enables him
TO feel the pulse thrObs of plants and
thus diagnose their condition.

CAME. TO PREFER THE MICE
Sad Tale of Man Who Tried to Get
Rid of Nuisances by Using
Cayenne Pepper.

In this hour of changing maps and
making history and reversing civili-
cation somebody slips in quietly and
remarks that cayenne pepper is an
admirable remedy for mice. All you
have to do is to scatter the pepper
about the mouse runs and the base
boards, and then let the sleek little
nuisances sneeZe their condemned
heads of.
A man heard about this new
cure some time ago. He tried it.
He says that after he had gone to
bed he could hear the mice gently
sneezing all about the house, and for
a time it was soothing But even
the snee2e of mouse can get on
your nerves, and when the man tired
of the gentle "kcrchoos" he finally
arose in wrath and his pajamas and
stumbled downstairs and brushed
up the scattered pepper and flung it
in the ash barrel, and then went back
to bed and sneezed out two lights of
glass and blew a crayon portrait of
his maiden aunt clear down the back
stairs and half way through the
china closet.
Pepper for mice may be welcome
diversion from the war news, but
that's all If is

Our First Canal.

The first canal opened in the United
States for the transportation of pas
sengers and merchandise was the Mid
dleSeX canal, from Boston to Lowell, in
1904 Colonel L. Baldwin, the engi-
neer, removed the first turf Sept. 10,
1894. The canal was thirty feet wide
and four feet deep, had twenty locks,
seven aqueducts and fifty bridges. The
route was from the Merrimac river,
near what is now MiddleseX village,
through the Billerica and Concord riy-
ers to the Shawsheen river, through
Wilmington and Woburn to the Mystic
river and through Medford to Charles
town.
Until 1886 the canal fourished, but
with the building of the Lowell and
Boston and the Lowell and Nashua
railroads about twO-thirds of the bust
ness of the canal was diverted to the
railroads, and the canal never paid aft
erward. 1t was built for $4,000, but
in 1859 the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts issued q decree declaring the
franchise forfeited through disuse. The
ruins Of the locks and aQueducts are
still to be seen along the route.

CRABS" Gliding into the black gal
ieries Of coal mines and hating at
crevice in the wall from which issues
the distant ring Of pick and shovel,
the crab lets out a flexible tentacle "a
steel cable for perhaps 200 or 300 feet,
drawing it back presently with a car
Of coal in tow. Feeling into the holes,
first on one side, then on the other, 1t
moves along and never fails to secure
it's prey. Finally, with a dozen or
more cars in its wake, It proceeds to
the shaft or outlet and delivers its
booty to the crusher.
These crabs operate by trolley con-
ductors. They run through the main
passa ges Of the mine. Each crab Is
furnished with an electrically operat-
ed drum, on which are carried 200 or 300
feet of steel cable. This is hauled into
the side passages or drifts by a man
who couples the end to loaded car,
then gives a signal, and the crab does
the rest.-George Frederick Stratton
