 The German fleet has vanished While in being it violated every rule of honorable warfare On the sea. Its career was marked by cruelty and cowardice. It's fate is a tragedy of shame.

Facts About New Plant World.

A new plant world, though one of few forms, is opened up by pr. Pierce Sees botanical investigation of llbra- ries. The spots appearing on the pa- per of old volumes, or those kept In damp places, are found to be due to various fungi and to represent q cer- tain number of species In different stages of growth, cOlors and cOndi- tlons. The microscope shows the ordi- nary spot to be made up of dark cen tral nucleus, which is the mycelium or vegetative portion of the plant, sur rounded by q lighter zone Colored by the secretions of the organism. Plants still living have been transplanted to gelatine, licorice, potatoes or other suitable soil, and from the grOwths so obtained in three to six weeks the va rlOus kinds have been identihed. As reported to the Paris Academy of Sci- ences, about 20 different species have been so far isolated. The mOlds are not all introduced Into the books or paper, but in some cases their germs appear to have been present in the pa- per materials, even in the raw fiber itself.
