The government, it was an
nounced here last night, will have
no definite figures regarding the

officials have completed their
work OF gathering in the names Of

1t was also announced that the

will not be Forthcoming until the
governors of those territories have
completed their preparations"
In spite of spasmodic moves
against the draft in various parts
of the country, mostly by paci-

abetted by anarchists, there is no
sign OF any wide spread or organ
lied opposition to the draft mea-

realizing that by this means only
can a sufficient number of men
be raised in a fair and just man

PLANTS THRIVE
 LEAVES OF BOOKS
(Salt Lake Tribune)

CSalt Lake Trlbune)
 We have all heard of the worms that live in books and do so much damage, but until recently it was not known that books also have plants which thrive inside their covers. AS French scientist has discovered, most books show traces of plant life is consider able enough to constitute a veritable miniature botanical garden.
 The plant life in books shows itself in the form of tiny yellowish, black or reddish spots, which we so often see on the pages of both new and old vol umes. The plants are nothing more or less than a low form of mushrooms which sometimes envelop themselves with a protective covering and, when mashed by pressure of the sides of the books, secrete the colored liquid which spreads through the page
 The necessity for finding out the cause of these diScolorations was an urgent one. Paper manufacturers have long been complaining that even the highest grades of paper would often show spots after having been incor- porated into valuable book. After a short time the colored spots would spread on the leaves and greatly re- duce the intrinsic value of the volume.
 pr. Pierre See has not only proved that these spots are plant formations, but he has even been able to trans plant them and make them grow so that they can be distinguished as com mon forms of fungus.
 In making his researches Dr. See became new kind of gardener, sys- tematically cuitivating the fungi which caused the paper spots. He wanted to have the material in which he raised these plants as free from bacteria as possible, so that only the plants which he introduced would be the ones to grow. He utilized carrots, potatoes, Hcorice, paper, wood and many other things on which to raise these plants in miniature hothouses. The most successful growths were ob- tained on licorice roots.
 First, he thoroughly sterilized the licorice and the glass covering. When the glass covering became cool again he placed fragment from the center of one of the sopts found in books on licorice with a sterilized platinum rod He then sealed the bottle and kept it at a normal temperature.
 The plant developed rapidly until at the end of six Wseks it completely cov- cred the licorice Then it was a sim pie matter for botanists to identify it and to set about ways to prevent it's getting a foothold in the paper used in books and stationery.
