Barlexcorn,s Last Fable

Can whisky bottle be cut at the bot tom, the contents changed with inferior liuuor as a substitute, and the bottle sealed up again with melted glass?
 According to William c. Shepherd. in the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' maga- zine conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes, sleutnS of the secret service who are moonshine and bottle experts of the first order, say that this change cannot be made. He gives this story of how the tapping bot tie scare started among men with ten dency to talk to bartenders It was a clever whisky salesman who started thai story about tapping the bottom of bot tles.' this sleuth told me. His firm used handmade bottles, which are smooth or the bottom. One day, in a big barroom if Nebraska, he noticed that the bottom oi a bottle which contained the goods Of 2 competitor was rough and looked as il it had been cut and revealed. He called the attention of the saloon keeper to ths appearance of the bottle. He talker loudly so that a number of customers heard him

1 You Can Watch Plants GroW
 With Wonderful DeUice }of Noted Hindoo SaUant
By CRossLEY DAVIES

London, February 12.-(Special)-Re- markable instruments that measure the throbbings of a leaf and record the death spasms of plant have been invented py famous eastern scientist. With an ac- curacy that is measured Tn hundred thousandths of an inch, the new instru' rnents gauge plant reactions to stimu- lants, anaesthetics and poisons. By re- ducing the somewhat haphazard use or commercial fertilizers to the basis of ex- act science the application of the new plant knowledge, thus made available to us, is expected to prove of the highest importance to agriculture and hence % the worlds food supply
 The man whose inventions have laid open to the world the intimate life story of plants ard trees, is Sir Jagadis Chan dra Bose, C. I. E., c. s. l., whom the London Times has hailed as the most eminent man of science modern India has produced" Most of his work has been done at the Bose Research institute in Calcutta, which he dedicated to his country in 1917. Although the invention he perfected there are expected to prove worth millions, he has taken out no pat ents on them. ''The spirit of our Indian culture.Y he says, demands that we

 There was also the very curious case of the praying palm of Bengal. De- cause this tree at one time of the day bows in an attitude of devotion and at another time holds it's head erect, 1t has been credited by many in India with miraculous power. Investigations by SIT Jagadis solved the mystery of the tree action. He found that 1t was due to us sense of temperature.
 But the most practical result of the discoveries made possible by the cresee- eraph-apart from It's scientific vaAe which is mainly in the revelations of the fundamental analogies between the re- actions of plants and animals Is the power of modification In the growth oi plants at which 1t hints. By the use of this invention, the life-activity of the plant is made subject to the Will Of the experimenter. By it the effect of stimu, Iating agents can be gauged and the plants growth auickened or retarded, a'

TRI-STATE MEETING
 OF MEMBERS B. |. [.
All-Day Meeting at Frater- nal Hall TOday-Ladies
 to Serve Meals

The regular fifth Sunday tri-state meet ing of members of the Brotherhood of To- comotive Engineers in Alabama, Gedr- gia and Florida will be held in Fraternal Eall today, under the auspices of Di- visions 15e, SsS. 432 and 43s, Birmingham divisions of the brotherhood.
 The programme provides for the busi- ness session to begin promptly this morn- ing at 10 o'clock lunch at noon, afternoon business session, dinner at o'clock and evening business session. Lunch and dhn- ner. which has been among the most en- joyab1e features of these meetings, will be served by Division 169. auxiliary to t5S brotherhod, which consists of the wives and daughters of the engineers and is headed by Mrs. c. W. Milican, president and Mrs. E. A. Schmidt, secretary
 The meeting will be attended by inter national grand officers and general chair men of the lines in the southeastern ter rtory. Notables among these are John Welch of Atlanta, who has the following distinction in brotherhood circles: Intro duced the resolution in the 1908 Columbus, O., convention authorizing construction of the brotherhood building in Cleveland, O., which is the biggest and most modern of- fee building in that city, and in which the grand office is located; has been a member and chairman of the Soard or trustees of the Engineers International Insurance Association for several years; general chairman of the brotherhood on the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad for quarter of a century, and one of the best storytellers in the brother hood; and J. I. Whiddon, general chair man of the southern system, who is the oldest general chairman from point Of service in the brotherhood, and is recog- nized as being the father of the brother hood on that system.
 Among the several questions of vital importance that will be explained and tNs- cussed is the application of the time and one-half for overtime award, and it's ef- and the general chairmen, and the duties fest on arbtraries by the grand officers of an absent voter to vote under the Ala bama absentee voting law will be eX- plained in detail by the chairman of the brotherhood's s Alabama state Legislative board Charles K. Hall, which was passed during the 1919 session of the legislature
 The power and influence of these meet ine@s is expected to be instrumental 1n guiding the future policy of the brother hood as the purpose of of all matters af' fecting the engineers and concrete express sions thereon by the rank and file.
 The committee of arrangements, head ed by J. E. Marler, chairman, and J. C DeHoll, secretary, have left nothing un' done to make the meeting a biz su&ess All members of the brotherhood are In vited to attend.

 Recently he described his work at the India office in London. Arthur J. Bal four one of the ablest statesmen the British Empire has produced in genera ton, and F. $. Montagu, British seere- tary of state for India, were among his hearers. In introducing Sir Jagadis, MT, Balfour pointed out that the eastern savant was well known both in the east and west and that his contributions to original science were of the greatest in- terest and importance. When the lecture was ended, Mir Balfour said 'The lec- ture has been most interesting. The lec- turer has touched upon themes which he has spent years in inv yestigating and in regard to which he has made discoveries of profound interest-discoveries that ex- cite our curiosity even more perhaps than they satisfy it. That is as it should be. What we wish above all things is not to reach the end of knowledge. but always to be progressing. always to feel that each new step in our progress opens out unexpected vistas into the unknown, which it may be our fortune or the for

Secretary Lane "peddles"
the following in his annual
report which ought to tickle
the oil operator:
The oil industry is more distinctly
American han any Of the great basic
industries 1t has been the creation o
no one class or group, but of many
kinds the hardy, keen eyed prospector
with nose for oil, who spent his
months upon the deserts and up in the
mountains searching for seepages and
tracing them to their source; the rough
and two-fsted driller, a man generally
of unusual physical streng tn, who han
died the great tools of his trade; the
yenturesome wildcatter, part prospec-
tor, part promoter, part operator, the
marine of the industry, soldier and sal
lor, too; the geologist. who thru his
study of the anatomy of the earthcrust,
could map the pools and sands almost
as if he saw them; the inventor; the
chemist with still and furnace; the gen
ius who found that oil would run in d
pipe; these and many more, in most of
the sciences and nearly all of the crafts,
have created this great American in
dustry. If they are permitted they
will reveal the world supply of oil; and
upon that supply the industries of our
country will come to be increasingly
dependent year by year.
