How Gas Smothers Plants.

From an investigation of the poison
ing of park vegetation near gas works,
1t appears that the green coloring mat
ter in plants is affected and gradual
ly disappears. With the soil charged
with gas, asphyxiation, through lack
of oxygen in the roots, checks assimila-
ton and the formation of new sub.
stance in the plant cells. The first
change to be noticed is a drying Of
the edges of leaves and other green
parts, and the lessening of transpir-
alton thus caused gives an accumula.
ton of water that tends to rot and
kill the stalk at the base.

Animals That Never Eat.

Have you ever realized what a num-
Der of scientific appliances have been
named after animals? And a yoI
furnish an explanation?
A mechanic puts his work upon a
horse, or buck, and he punches or
bends it by a convenient bear. Hoist
ing is done by a crab. a convenient cat
is part of the outfit Of a shop crane,
and a kit of tools Is ever at hand.
A crow helps to straighten work, a
Jack to lift it; a mule pulley helps to
drive machinery which a donkey en-
CINE turns. A fish connects parts end
to end, shells are used all over, while
a worm does quiet but powerful work.

Erivan, some thirty miles away to the
north, or from the frontier mountain
slopes away to the south, call 1t by a
variety of anne If they are Ar
menians they call it "Massis; ;" if
Turks, "Aghri Dagh," and if Persians,
"Koh-i-Nuh," or the Mountain of

mountains, or, rather, there is n vast
mass out of which rise two peaks,
their bases continent at a height of
$500 feet their SUBMITS about seven
