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 gioba- tor, so minute that millions of it could be put in a wine glass, which is seen to whirl like a 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 a tendril with draw itself after having located itself in a 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 a French company in 1879, and in 1881 bought the original cession. After this company had sunk $260 100000 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 war the French offered to sell to the United States for $40OOO.OOO. and the pur- chase was made in January. 1902.
 The canal includes deep artificial canyon nine miles long; a 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- trol of the Chagres river and fOrtitica- tion of the entrances. The canal was opened for navigation August 15. 1914. It is fl F miles long and has channel ranging from 300 to 1000 feet wide.

THE GARDEN

What wond rous life is this l leadi Ripe apples drop about my head; The luscious clusters of the vine Upon my mouth do crush their wine The nectarine, and curious peach, Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling melons. as I pass, InSnared with flowers I fall on grass Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure Iess Withdraws into its happin ess: The mind. that ocean where each kind Does straight it's own resemblance find Yet it creates, transcending these, Far other worlds, and other seas Annihilating all that's made To green thought in a green shaoe. 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, it sits and sings Then whets and claps it's silver wings And, till prepared for longer flight, Waves in it's plumes the various light. While man there walked without mate; After a place so pure and sweet, What other help could yet be meet? But twas beyond a mortal's share To wander solitary there; Two paradises are in one To live in Paradise alone. How wei! the skillful gardener drew Of flowers, and herbs, this dial new Where, from above the milder sun Does through a fragrant zodiac run And, it works. the industrious bee Computes its time as we'll we. How could such sweet and welcome Be reckon'd but with herbs and flowers.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head. ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do fol them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N: r.. you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

OF INTEREST TO POULTRY GROWERS

Some f1ocks 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 f1ocks may escape rOup when all the birds belonging to a near neigh bor are affected. Consumption, scrof- ula, bronchitis, asthma and such dis eases are surely transmitted to the off, spring as in the cases of other anil mals. 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, it de- notes some organic weakness. and if it 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 f1ocks. It is safer to avoid using any birds for breeding pur- poses that have at any time been sick with contagious disease. and by so doing the flock will in a few years be hardy and the difficulties lessened.
