CONTINUE TO CLAIM TRACT
Anneke JAMS Heirs Still confiden,
They Are Entitled to Trinity
Church Property.

Though the New York State Court
OF Appeals outlawed the Anneke Jams
heirs claim to the Trinity church
tract in New York city as long ago as
1856, and again in 1881, the claim still
persists in the minds of some of Mrs
JAMS thousands of descendants.
The various litigations attacking the
Trinity church title were all based on
technical Irregularities in grants Of
eonveyances, such as the absence of
a seal or signature, or on allegations
that the grantors themselves had no
title. The defense has been adverse
possession and the statute of nmita-
ton.
The streets laid out by Trinity
Church corporation in the JAMS tract
were named after leading men in the
church-Vesey, after Rev. William
Vesey, the rector; Barclay, after Rev.
Mr.. Barclay, who succeeded Vesey as
rector; Murray, after a distinguished
lawyer and officer of the church; War
rem, after Sir Peter Warren, command
er of the British naval forces at the
station, who married Miss Delaney
of New York city; Chambers, after
John Chambers, lawyer, born in New
York city, and leader In civil and
church affairs.

Human Body,Is Composed
rs to so Per Ceus W0.s

People think that their bodies are.
literally, among their most solid pos
sessions. But the human body is COM
posed largely of water, the average
proportion being from 70 to 80 per
cent. We are three-fourths water,
even including our brains.
have heard people speak Of per
son as having "a fluid mind" They
did not realize how close they came to
the literal truth. From head to foot,
all of us are so fluid" that 1t seems
almost a miracle when we continue
intact, year after year, apparently as
solid as ever.
solid as the years go by; that old peo-
pie really are, as we call them, with
cred and dried up. But they are not
"drier." Human beings grow even
less dry as age comes on. 1t is es-
timated that the water content of the
body in old age is from S1.2 to S4.s
per cent, as compared with from IS to
SO per cent in earlier life. So the
common expression, "a dried-up old
man." has no basis in fact.
If the amount of water content il
the body is reduced by only 10 per
cent, /. results in very serious disor-
ders. If it is reduced 20 per cent
death is almost certain to follow.
There have been cases where per
son has survived beyond this point
but loss of % per cent is, I believe
limit beyond which human beings
cannot live.-American Magazine.

Says Coffee Fruit Is
Similar to a Cherry

ut Is doubtful if in all nature there
10 a more cunningly devised food
package than the fruit of the coffee
tree" says William II. Ukers in "All
About Coffee" (the Tea and Coffee
Journal company, New York;. He
describes it infinitely as follows:
"The coffee fruit is very like
cherry. though somewhat elongated
and having in its upper end small
umbilicus But mark with what In
genuity the package has been con-
structed. The outer wrapping is a
thin, gossamerlike skin which incloses
a soft pulp, sweetish to the taste, but
OF mucilaginous consistency. This
pulp in turn is wrapped about the
inner seal. called the parchment be-
cause of its tough texture.
The parchment incloses the magic
bean in its last wrapping, delicate
silver-colored skin, not unlike fine
spun silk or the sheerest of tissue
paper And this last wrapping is so
tenacious, so true to its guardianship
function, that no amount of rough
treatment can dislodge it altogether;
for parts of it cling to the bean even
In the roasting and grinding pro-
cesses."

Nordic Race Is Rapidly
Disappearin0 In Europ1

A shifting Of peoples has been 20
ing on In Europe for generations, and
since medieval times the lower classes
and races have expanded at the ex-
pense of the upper classes, 30 that
many countries which formerly had
large Nordic populations, such a
Spain and Italy and the provinces Of
the old Austrian empire, are almost
stripped of their Nordic blood. France,
which all through medieval times
down to within century ago was
very Nordic, has reached a point
where the Nordic population has
shrunk to hopeless minority In the
nation. Germany lis feeling the re-
placement of Nordic by Alpine bloof
cry severely. and many Of her fore
inost thinkers regard her a. almost
lost to the Nordic race. The sfeat
French anthropologist, De Lapouge,
stated in conversation with the writer
that Germany of today Is not nearly
so Nordic as France was at the time
OF the religious wars. The case of
England. still overwhelmingly Nordic,
Is also serious one, because the In
dustrial revolution there Gas well as
In other European countries) has led
to great expansion of the nom Nor

FUNGI AIDS POTATOES GROWTH
Tubers and Orchids Owe Their Ex.
tstence TO Tiny ParasitIcsi
Plants.

Common potatoes and beautiful or
chids owe their existence to queer
partnerships with tiny fungus plants
DR.. George 81. f. Nuttail, director Of
Molteno institute for research In par
histology Of Cambridge university,
pointed out in an address here.
When potato plants are raised from
ICED tubers are not formed upon the
soots unless they are invaded by q
microscopic fungus. In soil free from
the fungl, tuberization does not DC
eur. In the case of many orchids the
seed will not terminate without the
assistance of fungi.
DIR. Nuttall said that this condition
Of partnership life may be regarded
as balancing between two extremes
complete immunity and deadly in
fective disease. 1t probably originated
as conflict In which one of the part
ners was parasite on the other, but
IN course Of time ended in mutual
adaptation 1t Is by no means 50 rare
phenomenon as was formerly sup
posed. he explained. In some cases
the microscopic partner becomes q
permanent inhabitant OF the cells Of
the host plant or animal, and may
even be transmitted from host to host

Natives Have Wonderful
System of Storing Wafe,

There are many ways Of storing wa

seems to be the most wonderful.
But for the tebeldy tree, Darfurites
would perish from drought. These
great trees grow In hollows, in which
the rain collects during the wet sea-

August.
The enormous trunks are hollow. As
soon as the rain begins the natives
gather up the water In leather bags
An expert climber goes up the tree

tight
Each little group Of "tukls" (huts)
possesses Its own trees. And on their
contents the people live throughout

Inc teDeldy tree Is fruitful source
OF trouble. Many tribal fights are
waged solely because a man from one
village Is believed to have been seen
climbing the trees of another. The
trees belonging to village, or group
