uPRusH OF THE SAP.
Force Is Exsrts In lts Mysterious Flow
Through the Plants. y

Force Il Exsrts in lie Mysterious Flow
Through the Plants. y
Even now the causes which underlie
the great upward dow Of sapsin the
spring are not completely Understood
That the movement Is accompanied by
considerable force has been demon
strated in remarkable manner.
II. the spring season. when the sap is
rising with great vigor, the stem Of a
grapevine was cut right across. With
as little loss OF time as possible piece
Of bladder was tied over the surface Of
the wounded part. AS fixed the blad-
der was In state Of collapse, but it
did not remain In this condition long
Within half an hour 1t was obvious
that it contained good deal Of liquid.
As time went on the amount Of fluid
matter increased SO much that the
bladder was quite full. Two hours
after fixing the bladder was so dis
tended that it was lifted right up. An
hour later the pressure had increased
to such a degree that the bladder
burst, being unable to stand the strain
any longer.
In this connection It is Interesting to
recall the experiment of Dutrochet,
also with grapevine stem. In this
case a bent tube containing mercury
was affixed to the cut stem in such a
manner that any fluid coming from the
plant would have to lift the column Of
quicksilver. In one of his experiments
it was shown that the sap raised the
column Of mercury to the height of
thirty inches. Dutrochet calculated
that in such case the force exercised
by the sap was FIVE times greater than
that Of the blood in the crural artery
Of the horse. 1t requires no student of
anatomy to appreciate the force of this
Observation-Disclosures American.

A Habit Stanley Had.

1t was remarked Of the late Sir II. M.
Stanley during his last visit to New
York that he stood all the time with
bis back to the wall during receptions
instead of standing out where people
would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley laughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
in Africa-that Stanley always stood
with his back against tree or bar
ricade of some sort when brought in
contact with the savages, and it had
become such habit with him that he
took that position no matter where he
was.

 When questioned regarding the appointment this morning, MT. Wa,Ker said: "I was advised that the nominations had been made. I do not know wl..--. me appointments have yet been confirmed in the Sen ate, although the Empire dispatch suggests this. I am naturally much gratfied and consider that the ap- pointments, if made, are recogni- ton of the service of this office in matters which for the last six years because of the situation in Alaska re- garding the coal lands and other public lands, have been of vital inter- est to the public and of close con- cern in the department of the inte- rior.

1.-THE DEVIL" WILL BE AT
 LIBERTY THEATRE TONIGHT

"The Devil" in five parts, newest n the series of Mutual Masterpieces, s a production which accords in ev- cry way with the Mutual Film Cor poration's recently announced policy of providing the public with "bet1er motion pictures" This remarkabi., drama, while it is based in part on Franz Molnars drama, is so greatly elaborated and so handsomely O. duced by Thomas H. Ince of the New York Motion Picture Corporation. that it bears only resemblance to the speaking stage version of the Hungarian playwright's work. From the early drawing room scenes, where the Devil disso1ves in and out of the picture apparently at will, to the marvellous. pictures showing the nelh- CT regions at the close of the final part, the hand of real genius is vis- ible.
 "The Devil" shows how the life of Harry Lang, noted young portrait painter, was affected by Isabella, the young and beautiful wife of wealthy Alfred Zanden. To allay gossip con- meeting their names Zanden commits sions Lang to paint Isabella's bust portrait and takes his wife to Lang s studio himself. When they come Lang gets Milli, his model and mistress, out of the way. Zanden leaves his wife there and while she is draping shawl around her nude bosom the Devil appears out of thin air, declar- ing that ne is Dr. Miller, who has say ed Lang's life and fortune.
 When Isabella announces Lang engagement to marry Elsa, her friend, the Devil appears at the party, con- vinces Lang that Isabella is naked save for her coat and watches tbfnl quarrel when he dares her to remove it. She does so, revealing herself fully dressed. Later the Devil per suades Isabella to write Lang a letter saying she is leaving her husband for him. He promises to deliver the note
 The following day, before Isabella arrives at Lang's studio, the Devil in- duces Milli to tell Elsa of Lang's un- faithfulness. This she does, and the two girls depart together. When Isa' bella comes the Devil watches her and Lang making love and departs for hell. There he tells the sinners he has ruined that they may expect no mercy expect from God.
 The remarkable star. cast which in- terprets this drama includes Bessie Barriscale, Edward Connolly, Arthur Maude, Rhea Mitchell, Clara Williams and J. Barney Sherry.

CHANGERS Endorse
SNELLENBURG PLAN

One Of the interesting features OF
the afternoon session of Pomona

ment given the market proposition of

Market street merchant. Mr.. Smell
lenhurg, was before the grangers per-
sonally. He showed them the plans
he has worked out for market i'm

cussed them.
The delegates showed how keenly
they are interested in the PROPOSE
tion by the many questions they
asked After going into it thoroughly.
they heartily endorsed the plans and
will do all in their power to make the
proposition a reality.
The discussion brought out many
valuable suggestions which Mr.. Smell
lenburg was glad to receive. Previous
to this ihe plan had been endorsed at
the County Farm Bureau meetings
and other organizations, but it is felt
that nobody in the county with
which grangers are affiliated carries
quite as much influence as that Of
Pomona Grange. IL represents all

total membership Of hundreds Of the
