Seeing Plants Grow

Hereward Darlington, in Leslie's
 The "Crescograph" Is an iinstrum ent which shows us the actual rate of cate that the plant appears to grow before ones eyes, The result is that the effects upon the plant of certain Chemicals, etc, can be seen at once, and we no longer have to wait for weeks, or even days, to see what these effects are. Thus, certain poisons or stimulants can be seen to affect the plant. and the right antidote can be applied at once-in the case of pos- ems. The importance of this to prac- teal agriculture will doubtless prove very great. The instrument is the in- vention of Dr. Chunder Bose of Cal cutta, who has been experime nting along these lines for number of years, and who is also famous for his studies on the fatigue of metals" The few instrument is so delicate that 1t is equivalent to magnifying the high est powers of the microscope 100, 900 times. It is rather simple in appear nee.

The journal Avanti has even published an elaborate plan for the phases through which the revolution will pass.

 Rome, April 9.-Arctic explorat tion and shooting the savage polar bear have no allurement at present for the Duke of the Abruzzi, who is now en- gagged in the equally scientific, if less hazardous task of Investigating the commercial and agricultural possibili- ties of the Benadir colony East Af- rica, with a view to making 1t source Of income for Italy. and even eventual ly of rendering that country independ- enc of other nations for her supplies Of cotton and cereals.
 The Duke, in addition, intendssto ex- plore the sources of the Uebi Scebel river, which rising in the high plateaus toward Abyssinia. passes through the Italian colonies to the sea. and, it is believed, can easily be rem dered navigable for small boats. be- sides being invaluable as a source of irrigation for extensive agricultural

Czechs and Poles at Odds

Lucian Swift Kirtland, in Leslie's
 Certain transformation has allowed and encouraged the Tetchen question be- tween the Poles and the Czechs to be-
 come almost as bitter as the Plume tion as have had the Italians in their
 fear of strong Jugo-Slav state From any point of view, unless the growing spirit of hatred continues until it be- comes ineradicable. it is obviously to the advantage of both Poland and Czecho- Slovakia that each state should become strong and prosperous
 Of course the Poles did stir up the Czech anger by holding elections to the
 Warsaw diet in the disputed area, and the Czechs without the patience to ask for an explanation did start a petty war and lives were lost on both sides by the folly. But unless the states are able to forget this error they will find them selves with larger errors on their hands to remember
 I went to the plebiscite region more or less convinced of the Czech Tide of the argument, and l still believe that there are sound economic reasons why the mines which are within the present Czech lines should be available to the industries of that state without foreign complication; and it will be an unfortun- atc SiludlloH II d snort section Of the Czecho-Slovak railway should have to cut into the Polish state with all the accompanying customs troubles How ever was not on a commission to in quire deeply into the economic problem nor to determine the proportions of the population, nor the legitimacy of their right to vote, and so-called historical reasons leave Americans cold
 The thing that does interest Americans IS the reality that Europe is
 on anarchy and bankruptcy, and that we are being called upon to step in and help ou. put II Europe does not get down to work and help herself no va can give will serve farther than to staye OFT the evil day. With such a belief. to see heritage of hatred created between these two new states is a far more real tragedy to the world than can be any questions of territorial or economic loss II we are called upon to help breathe ilie into these new states, our first job must be to make them get together and to help each other.

Famous Portrait of Wordsworth

 The portrait of William Wordsworth. which hangs in the library of the Uni, versity Of Pennsylvania, stands among the real beginnings of an intellectuaI union between England and America which has done much for the fortunes of both countries It was painted by Henry

 a speclal mission to England to paint the picture.
 i The relations between Professor Reed
 and the great English poet had been
 marked by sincere admiration and faith full discipeship on the part of Reed. and
 by a cordial appreciation on the part of Wordsworth, who realized that the spir- l itual influence of his poetry was being fostered and disseminated in this coun-
 try by the efforts of his friend. No other
 American scholar had. up to that time,
 so keeniy appreciated the practical sig
