WALKING FERN GROWS HERE
Is Native of the United States and Is
Found as Far West as State
of Kansas.

The walking fern. some specimens
of which have been installed at the
Children's Museum of the Brooklyn
institute, is native of the United
States. 1t found in certain localities
of the eastern states and westward to
Kansas, usually growing on moscow
cred rocks, or near the bases of cliffs.
Because of its peculiar manner of
growth, it has been given Latin names
meaning "fruit-dot" and roofing leaf
writes Miss NJ. S. Draper in the Chill
dren's Museum News.
The fronds, when fully developed
are from six to twelve or fifteen
inches long, their tips reaching down
into the moss or creviees of the rocks,
where they develop young plants of
two or three tiny fronds. At later
stage, mass of fine rootlets forms
and holds the little rosette in posi-
ton. After several months, the long
frond to which the little plant is at
tached becomes withered. and the
young fern sends out fronds which
produce new plants. 1t is said that
in a few years a single plant under
favorable conditions will develop into
a whole colony.

STALE WORDS PLEASE SOME
Many Writers Seem to Take Great De-
light in Using Threadoare Phrases
at Every Opportunity.

There is a style of mind which can
not express itself except in stale and
threadbare, words and phrases, re-
marks a writer in the Knickerbocker
Press. The more ancient and outworn
the language, the better it pleases
such folk. To them all brides are
blushing, all banknotes crisp, all ciN-
zens prominent. To them the by-and-
by is ever sweet; their tones are
musty. their decorations tasty and
every fire is confiagration if not a
holocaust. J. Pluvius makes rain for
them, their sun is Old Sol, their flu
ture dim and distant and their tomb
silent. Bids fair" makes them chortle
in glee. They are best pleased, too,
when they can clap quotation marks
around word or phrase, to set it off
with the JUNCTION that makes u born
gossip's infections a torture to manly
ears.
Bromides was the name Gelett Bur-
CESS gave to these unhappy fragments
of language, overworked until their
savos has gone from them But Bur-

a bromide. since the bromide have
taken it up and made a bromidom

he kept only few books. One of

before. he turned to Bartlett. If he

Divorces in Canada.

Canada,s divorce court is never en-
tered except by members of the
wealthy elass-and not frequently by
them. Only four TO six divorces are
granted in Canada annually. There
is no record of a poor man ever get
ting a divorce in the Dominion, it is
said The average cost of a divorce
in Canada is $4,000 and the decree is
granted for only one offense-marital
infidelty. The legislature at Ottawa
appoints a divorce committee each
session and all cases are settled by
this committee. There is no appeal to
a divorce action. Those living in the
western part of the Dominion have
to pay much more for decree than
those living in the east because of the
heavier travelling expenses.
