Plant strength is wonderful. If the
roots of the delicate maidenhaiS fern
have not sufficient room they will
break the pot In which the plant
grows. Blades Of grass will force the
curbstones between which they spring
up out Of their place, and in single

been known to lift a large stone. In
deed, plants are on record as having
broken the hardest rocks. The island
Of Aldabra, to the northwest Of NADIA

the action Of the mangroves that grow
along the foot Of the cliffs. They eat
their way into the rock in all direc-

the waves force their way. In time
they will probably reduce the island

Writing on an Egg.
Hand a friend a hard boiled egg
with the request that it be infinitely
examined. After he has satisfied HIM
self that the egg is of the ordinary
kind you tell him to break Off the shell,
and, much to his establishment, he will
discover his name plainly written on
the white Of the egg.
There is previous preparation, but
1t is very simple. Dissolve one ounce
of alum In a half pint of vinegar.
Take small pointed brush and out
line whatever you desire on the shell
of the egg. Let 1t dry thoroughly and
then boil the egg for about fifteen min
utes. If these directions are carried
out all tracings Of the writing will
have disappeared from the outside Of

ed open it will plainly show on the

Des Moines, Dec. 24.-Preparations
are already being made at the state
house for the special session Of the

chamber are undergoing thorough
cleaning. keys for each desk in the two

committee rooms are being put in order
Apparently all that remains to assure

Leaders here express the faith that
the solons will not be diverted from
the purpose Of the special session to
any marked degree, which, as every
one knows, Is to consider war legisla-
ton. Nor should there be any en-
couragement Of those who would In
terpret war legislation too broadly and
try to bring in under that head matters
which are only indirectly related to the
winning of the war, 1t Is pointed out.
May Avoid FactionaIisn.
However, the fear Is expressed that
it would be but natural for many OF
the solons to propose other legislation
or to come to the special sessin with
immature ideas as to the legislation
essential.
As constituted at It's regular session
last winter the Thirty-seventh general
assembly was divided into two camps
SO long as legislation proposed at the
special session. however, does not bear
the imprint of any selfish individuas
purpose 1t is predicted there will be no
factional division.
The history of special legislative
sessions the country over Is that they
continue far longer than had been ex-
pected. Governor Harding will urge
and will recommend that the special
session does not-last over ten to twelve
days. However the governor has no
control over the body except veto
power on bills and this can rot In any
way affect the length Of the term un-
less the governor should assert that
he would veto any measures passed
except strictly war measures.
