Now Plants Breathe.

Plants have two experiences common to all living things, although they have none of the senses possessed by ani- mals. They breathe the air and per ypire. The leaves and stems of plants correspond to the respiratory organs of animals, and 1t is by this means the plants take in the air. Plants are chiefly water absorbed from the earth. Of the % per cent solid matter the principal constituent IS carbon, nearly all of which is absorbed from the at mosphere by the action of minute bod les contained in the green leaves. Plants also absorb oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen from the atmosphere through their leaves and also through their roots. All contribute to building up the organic structure of the plant, Used up moisture is given off by plants through their leaves, Just as animals perspire through the pores of their skins. Calculations made as to the amount of water thus perspired by plants show that the sunlOwer, only three and one-half feet high, gives off as much moisture as q man.

A Startlinn Hat.

A lady's hat which would no doubt create as great a sensation today as 1t did at the time of Its first appearance in 1852 was that worn by Blanche de Bourbon, queen of Castile, wife of Pe- ter the Cruel. It cost f35 and was made In Paris. The hat Itself was composed of dc chypre and relieved with great pearls, garnets and enamel work. Children, carved In the whitest of ivory, were depicted picking acOrns of pearls from the oak and scattering them to the swine below. Birds were singing in the trees, and at the foot were bees stealing honey from the flowers sprtnging up from the verdure. London Mail.

ARTILLERY IN ACTION
 ON LOWER YUKON

Dawson News: Arrivals on the steamer Alaska, which got in yes terday afternoon from the lower river, bring news of a shooting scrape which is reported to have taken place about July 16 at Beav- CT, 8 point below Fort Yukon, near the mouth of the Chandalar. Accord ing to the story, a prospector known as "Argo Bill" Henderson called Cu another prospector to apologize over some previous af- fair. Brace was in his cabin, and "Argo" knocked. Then, according to he report, Brace opened the door, and, seeing Henderson was there, waited for no explanation, but immediatel'- slammed the door, Then it is alleged, the "dander" of NIr. Argo Bill was riIed and he for with drew a hOwitzer and began bom5ardment' of the Brace castle. The first shot, it is said, passed through the door and struck Brace in the head, but as Brace was wear ing an old tOque or night cap, the ball in some way glanced and fol- lowed around Braces head and did no more harm than scar the scalp Brace immediately opened the door after the shot was fired and grappled with Argo, and took away the gun, whereupOn hostilt- ties ceased,
 Henderson, it is said, was intoXi- catcd at the time, and possibly felt the matter would be allowed to blow over. But the news of the 'af- far was carried down river to the authorities, and deputy marshal was sent out by way of Circle with authority to arrest Henderson. On arrival of the marshal at Beaver he fouul Henderson had gone to Koyukuk, where, it was said, he has claims let out on lays. It was understood he was going there to collect the sum due him.

GirIs' Banks ln Germany.

There Is kind of savings bank for girls fin Germany which might well be initiated in this country. On the birth of a girl the parents can insure her in one of these banks for sum that will give the child on the completion of her eighteenth year a small capital to start in life with, to follow her profes- sion or finish her studies or to serve as a dover In the event of her mar riuge. The annual premium is a fix ed sum and comparatively light and scarcely proves a burden. It certainly must prove q great help to a girl when she arrives at the age of discretion to find herself mistress of a snug little fund of her own. - St. Louis Globe Democrat

He Ate His Own Words.

Not long ago the punishment for H. bel In Russia was the requirement that the Hbeler literally eat his own words. A man who published small volume redecting on the unlimited power of the sovereign was seized, tried in q summary way and condemned to con- sume the objectionable words. In one of the public streets the book was sev- cred from It's binding, the margins cut off, the leaves rolled up one by one and fed to the unfortunate author. A sur geon was in attendance to pronounce upon the number possible to give with out endangerlng his life, but he is re- ported to have set the limit at some thing like 200.

DREDGE AT CIRCLE
 AVERAGES 2,OOO YARDS

The dredge being operated on Mammoth creek by the c. J. Berry Dredge company is proving a sue cess. During the month of June, up to the night of the 27th, the dredge had handled an average of 2,Q0O yards of dirt per day With the dirt running a little less than a dollar to the foot, that would mean a cleanup, for the time that the dredge worked, of approximate ly S4O,OOO.

Feedino by Law,

4 law to punish by imprisonment per sons found guilty of overlooking was actually promulgated in France during the reign of Charles K. when the cost of living reached an unconsciOnable height, It was then ordained that no person should eat more than three courses at a meal, the amount to be served at each course being also pre- scribed. Heavy fines were imposed for any breach of this law.-pall Mali GRZette.

RECKONING TO Us, BUT WE
 WON'T LOOK

issued in BuenOs Aires, says the Portland Telegram, We learn that German imports have fallen off S+ per cent, Belgium 92 per cent, Aus triau g1 per cent and English Il per cent. But that is not all we may learn. Incredible as it may seem, during the period to which :fese figures apply imports from the United States were ' per cent l,ss than for the similar period last preceding.
 Here is another fact gIeamed from the same report. The bust- ness interests of Bueuos Aires have heard a great deal about a pro- posed trade propaganda to originate in the United States for the pur- pose of filling the gap created by the failing off Of European i'm ports. They have been very much interested ill what they have heard; bur their interest is on the waue because nothing has materjalized. so far there has been nothing to it but rumor.
 One ocner item from the report is worthy of note. French eu- terprise has not beel idle in Bra gil. A group of French capitalists have formed a syndicate and es- abolished headquarters at BueuOs Aires. These 'Freuchmeu have be- gun to look after the business that offers ia that city and the territory tributary thereto. They have been well received by the Brazilians; and their business ventures already are prOspering beyond expectations. It is iutimated that this French eu- terplise is but the forerunuer of a more largely organized and more general French effort to get a good share of the South American trade
 And yet We of the United States are smart and great and rich and at peace. We have been conscious for years that We need to bring about closer trade relations be tween South American nations and this country, We have witnessed how Germans and EnglLshmen and Freuchueu and other Europeans have proIited by that trade, which all of them save the Freuchmen have now reltnquished. But smart ness and greatness and wealth have not done anything for Us in the south American direction. We know that riches and future com merciaI aggraudizement are there if We would only go after them; but we are like the southern back woods "hoosier" who is bashful at the strangers dinner table - we wouldn't choose any. thank you"
 There is a screw loose in the collective intelligence Of American business. Individually there is no brighter or shrewder man on the face Of the earth than the Ameri- can blsiness man; but when it comes to concerted action that is necessary to the invasion Of this South American field, it is either a case of the American business man losing his nerve, or is diverted by | some proffered enterprise that | seems to him to be of greater i'm mediat- promise.
 With regard to South America, American business has shown the | lack cf the pioneering quality; and l f the present war should not be ! Of long duration American business will have failed to profit by the | splendid opportunities offered in those countries.

Of the war stirred 1t to action.
1t managed to secure the ear Of the
Gar. who. despite all reports to the
contrary. has always been in favor Of
Parliamentary forms OF government
analogous to those in Great Britain.
1t is said to have given the Emperor
10 understand that II he permitted the

dissolution OF the Duma its members
would continue to sit elsewhere than
in the Duma palace and TO exercise
their legislative mandates as represen-
tatives Of the people. After taking all
things into consideration the Emperor,
prompted also probably by his own
personal political inclinations, has
given way to the Duma.
The first use that the Duma made
Of its new fiedged power was to or
garize a legislative committee or
Council Of National Defence. In order
that 1t might not be regarded as too ex-
clusively political several eminent men
In various walks in life-miiitary,

champion Of the Duma majority and
Of the Council of National Defence.
One Of the first things that the coun-
Gil did. and which went far to convey
a demonstration of its power. was its
insistence on the removal of Gen.
Sukhomlinoff from the post Of Minister
OF War. The Generalissimo Grand
Duke Nicholas and his principal lieu
tenants in the field had given as the
reason for the retirement Of the Rus
sian armies from western Poland, and
for the abandonment OF their hard won
conquests In Germany and in Austria,
the terrible shortage of ammunition.
The Council Of National Defence de-
termined ~thereupon to find out who
was responsible for this deficiency, and,
unable to find any other scapegoat.
saddled the blame upon the Minister
of War.
