Concerning Natural Death.

"Under normal conditions most COM
plex animals have characteristic and
rather sharply defined duration Of life.
But one-celled animals, which repro
duce by fission, are apparently I'm
mortal unless life II stopped by what
may be called an accident, for as tho
cell divides In half. neither part may
be called the parent, and both halves
VIII go on reproducing. And by tax
Ing cuttings from Q plant a part Of
the original may be kept living indefl-
nitely by repeated cuttings, while the
parent plant dies at the close of its
usual duration Of life. Thus 1t would
appear" concludes writer In tho
Journal Of Heredity, shat natural
death is connected only with organ
isms which are composed of different
organs which are inseparable."

Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immemorial China has

for ages was like an oasis Of flowers

World.
In this oasis grew the arts of the
bronze and stone worker, Of the silk
maker and embroiderer. Of the potter.
Of the painter on silk. Of the poet.

But China was not named the How-
cry kingdom because Of these flowers
Of the mind. Her fora Is one Of the
most luxuriant In the world. II Is es-
timated to consist Of some 1900 spe-
cies. 5000 Of which are known and one
half Of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the fora of China, II Is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became skilled
and honored profession.

Making HAY

Hay ranks third In value to all
crops In this country being exceed
cd only by corn and wheat, The
average quality Ia inferior. not more
than 10 per cent grading as choice,
The improper methods In curing are
responsible to a great extent for this
loss. The stage OF growth at which
the crop IL cut and the manner OF
curing arr the prime factors In d.
termining quality.
Four-ffths OF the proticn content
Of alfalfa and clover plants Ia con-
tained In the leaves. consequently II
Is Of the greatest Importance TO cut
and cure hay In such manner rs
to preserve the leaves. Alfalfa
should be cut as soon as the new
shoots begin TO appear above the sur.
face OF the ground. and before they
get tall enough TO he cut OF with the
mower. Clover should be cut when
in full bloom or Just after that stage.
and vetch when the first pods are
about half formed. II Ia not best 10
cut the hay crop when Il II wet
With rain or dew. The moisture will
dry on much faster when the plant
II standing. Cut In the morning as
soon AS the dew II on and rake In
the afternoon: or cut IN the after
noon and rake the next day as soon
as the curing process is under way.
The greater part OF the curing should
be done In the windrow or cock.
Those who have not already cpi
their alfalfa arc little behind In
order TO get the best results .:om
the crop. There will not only ne n
considerable loss from the leaves
shattering on from the lower parts
OF the. stem. but many of the new
shoots that would otherwise produce
the second crop will be cut on and
thus diminish the second crop.

LITTLE SOUNDS THAT DISTURB

Uncanny like; gh0stly; uncomfortable.
You had not thought much about the
family, one way or another, when the
family was present. Accepted the FAM
lily as matter Of course. and went
about your way. Sat down after the
evening meal and read the newspaper |;
paid no attention to the swishing Of n
curtain, nor to the whispering Of the
wind, nor to the creaking that forever
takes place about a house. Nothing
disturbed you, when the family was at
home. but now, with the family away.
everything disturbs you-and startles
you.
There IL nothing to fear, Of course.
You are not afraid; II 10 not that. But
a. you sit there alone. reading. and .
shutter rattles a little. how II startles
you. says a writer In the Columbus
Dispatch. The furnace clicks, az fur
naces will, and you wonder what It is
In the basement. A vine scrapes the
lattice at the back door. and II sounds
for all the world like burglar trying
to unlock the door. You know II is
not a burglar; you are not afraid, un-
derstand. But. some way, every little
noise about the house startles and
astounds you.
And then you get up to go to bed.

cesmepeIl,.n odessa.

Odessa, recently entered by German
troops. furnishes the most remarkable
instance In Europe Of rapid growth.
like that Of the mushroom cities Of the
New World. Founded In 1794 on the
site Of a small Turkish fortress which
had been taken by the Russians a few
years previously. II does not possess a
single building which by any stretch
Of imagination could be described as
old. The city as well AZ the port owes
its origin to a Frenchman named DE
Ribas. an ofIicer In the Russian army
who had led the attack on the Turkish
stronghold. French influence Is strong,
and there are important commercial
French and British colonies. Italians,
Greeks. Bulgnrians, Tartars, Armc-
mans, Georginns, and other rnces In
addition to the Jews and Russians
make up the population Of this cosmo-
politan city.
