Microscope Reveals Many
Vegetable Forms Can Move
As Easily as Can Animals

One Of the chief distinctions be-
tween vegetable and animal life is that
animals have power of choice and Of
voluntary motion, while vegetables and
plants grow only mechanically by
natural law. But the microscope seems
to show that many vegetable forms
can move as easily as can animals.
There is a plant called Volvox globa-
tor so minute that millions of ii could
be put In wine glass, which is seen
to whirl like top across the field of
the microscope. Some plants found in
our ponds, which are still more minute
move habitually, as with an apparent
purpose.
Scientists who have given closer
study than others to climbing plants
state that these seem to exercise the
liberty of choice. Their tendrils, In
climbing over pieces of wood with
holes, will try one hole after another
until they find one that pleases them.
One investigator saw tendril with
draw itself after having located itself
In hole for 36 hours.

Panama Canal, Opened for
Navigation in 1914, Dates
Back Into the Seventies

The Panama canal dates back to the
seventies. Ferdinand de Lesseps,
flushed with the success of the Suez
canal, organized French company In
1879, and in 1881 bought the original
cession. After this company had sunk
$260,O00,000 in the venture and given
up, new company was formed in
1894. Twelve miles of navigable canal
were built by the French, when lack
of funds and scandals concerning the
management and expenditures made
further progress impossible.
After the Spanish-American war the
French offered to sell to the United
States for $4O00O,O0O, and the pur-
chase was made in January, 1902.
The canal includes deep artificial
canyon nine miles long; dozen huge
docks each containing more solid
concrete than there is in the great
pyramids of Cheops, forty-seven pairs
Of steel gates, each as broad and as
tall as a six-story building; the con-
troll of the Chagres river and fortifica-
ton of the entrances. The canal was
opened for navigation August Is, 1914.
1t Is Al " miles long and has channel
ranging from 300 to 1000 feet wide.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

Some fiocks are never thrifty. Dis
ease seems to appear without appar-
ent cause, and the slightest exposure
leads to roup or something allied to
It, Whole fiocks may escape roup when
all the birds belonging to near neigh
Dor are affected. Consumption, scrof-
ula, bronchitis, asthma and such dis
eases are surely transmitted to the off
spring as In the cases of other ami
mails. There is not enough attention
given the selection Of fowls with the
view of preventing disease and avoid
ing the liability Of hereditary trans
mission.
When roup appears in flock, 1t de-
notes some organic weakness, and If 1t
spreads rapidly to all the members Of
the flock, the indication is that the
members are Of the same family, and
more readily susceptible to disease
than some other fiocks. 1t is safer to
avoid using any birds for breeding pur-
poses that have at any time been sick
with a contagious disease, and by so
doing the flock will in a few years be
hardy and the difficulties lessened.

Radium paint Is not the only thing

just invented a decidedly complicated
device for so doing.
In the first place, you must wear a
motorists glove; then you attach your
watch TO the back of the cuff; next
you adjust the bulb and shade so the
watch is Illuminated. A battery is
tucked in the side of the glove and

So the rainbow children dressed up
In their best clothes.
Some of them wore green and some
Of them wore pink and some Of them
wore blue and some of them wore diff
fernt shades Of the same color.
Then they went forth, and the ones
who were dressed alike all stood to-
gether, and those who were dressed In
different shades of the same color
stood at the end Of row.
And they all said together:
Mother Rainbow, will we dow
"Ah, yes, my beautiful Ones" said
Mother Rainbow. you rejoice my
heart. We will call on our friends at
once. Let us start"
So they knocked on the top Of a
mountain, and they said: "Hello, any
one out?'
OF course they wouldn't ask IL any
one was in, for they weren't going in
anywhere--they were going out And
they wanted to stay out.
Mr.. Sun cane peeping behind the
army of raindrops who are the chill

said:
"Hello, beautiful rainbow, and all

they all look in their exquisite, per-

THE GARDEN

What wond'rous life is this I lead
Ripe apples drop about my head:
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarne, and curious peach,
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons. as I pass,
Insnared with flowers, I fall on grass.
Meanwhile the mind. from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet IT creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas.
Annihilating all that's made,
To a green thought in a green shade.
Here at the fountains sliding foot
Or at some fruit trees messy root,
Casting the body's vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide;
There, like bird II sits and sings,
Then whets and claps its silver wings.
And, till prepared for longer flight,
Waves in its plumes the various light.
Such was the happy garden state.
While man there walked without a mate
After a place so pure and sweet,
What other help could yet be meet?
But twas beyond a mortals share
To wander solitary there;
Two paradises are In one,
To live In Paradise alone.
How well the slSillful gardener drew
OF flowers, and herbs, this dial new,
Where, from above, the milder sun
Does through fragrant zodiac rum
And, as it works. the industrious bee
Computes Its time as well as we!
How could such sweet and welcome
hours
Be reckOn'd but with herbs and flowers.

French Women Taken for
Wives by Allied Soldiers

Much attention has been called to
the number Of American soldiers that
have married French girls, number
estimated as high as 100000. This
gives a slight idea of the wholesale
exodus Of French women as brides Of
the fighting men of the allied nations,
for not only Americans but British,
colonials, Italians, Belgians and Por-
tuguese as well have carried off
French brides. The Portuguese lega-
ton says 5000 Portuguese soldiers
have contracted marriages with
French women.

Rainbow said. 1--WE have come first Of

we think, to pay call on the lake, too.
1--WE had no sooner knocked to see
If you were all out from the top Of

''The lake would love to see YOU"
said Mr.. Sun. "Do pay it visit"
So Mother Rainbow and her children
bent down until they touched the lake
and they rested on the lake, and they
said:
Lovely, cool water which in the
summer rests those who are weary
and warm and refreshing, we greet
you. And lovely lake, which gives wa
