Plants That C;ve Feat.

We do not, as rule, think Of plants
as giving out heat, yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
of temperature. Most remarkable In
this respect are certain kinds of Arum.
Just at the opening Of the flower In
these cases there is a great liberation
Of heat. This is due to the fact that
the respiration, or breathing, Is at
such times very vigorous. Some very
interesting experiments have been car
ried out In connection with these
Arums by means Of placing a Their
mometer just inside the spathe. One
of the most remarkable cases was that
Of a species growing on the Mediter-
ranean coast and known as Arum
Italicum. The temperature of the air
was 60 degrees at the time Of the ex-

From Emerie to America.

From Emeric TO America
The transformations that take place
In q name as it passes through differ
emit languages can only be accounted
for by carelessness in transmission.
One would scarcely expect the name of
Emeric, the name Of a pious Hun
garian prince of the eleventh century,
who was made a saint, to take the
form of Amerigo In Italian and OF
Amery and Emery in English. The
name In German, but little changed
from the original, is Emmerich. This
obscure Hungarian saint has been
person of consequence in this world,
for from his name has come that or
this great continent. In the fifteenth
century, in the Italian form of Amer1-
go, it was bestowed upon an Italian
navigator Surnamed VeSpucci, and this
continent, by still further mutilatton
of the name, came to be known as
America. When King Stephen Of Hun
gary was choosing a name for his son
he could scarcely have imagined that
the name chosen was to be the parent
of the word America and that poor old
Christopher Columbus was thereby to
be despoiled Of a recognition that Is
far from being compensated for by the

The struggle for success uses up

than any other thing. Fighting to keep

Especially in middle age, at forty or

comes worry, nervous breakdown, neu-
rasthenia. The entire system feels the
result of the nervous strain. The diges-
