Fossil Plants

DECENT discoveries In fossil
~ plants have thrown new
light on the origin Of Towering
plants and viii be Of great aid
to the science OF botany.
Botany is one OF the gcloncos
that proves the great agc OF life
upon the earth. Until Darwin
wrote his Origin OF Species"
systems Of botany were based on
the idea that all plants were
created in one day about 6 200
years ago.
Botany now proves that plant
life existed upon tho earth hun
dreds Of thousands Of years be-
fore anti-evolulionists believe tho
world existed. It Is named from
a Creek word meaning herb"
Some sort Of botanical ISnowI-
edge has been used by all raccs,
even the oldest In ancient
Chaldea and Egypt there were
gardeners and botanists. In
Greece, at the dawn OF written
records there was n guild, or la
Dor union, Of "root-cuttora,"
whose members, under definite
rules, collected useful and
medicinal herbs.

Pirates Not All

"V0U do not have to capture all the
rum pirates All that is needed is
to make their business Improbable"
Thus advises Mr.. Chester H. Rowell, and.
at first think, it sounds like complete vic
tory over old Demon Rum. But
In proportion as you capture the pirates
the business Of those at large becomes
more profitable Also, the pirates are not
the only element. There's the home
brewer. He must be educated up to moral
reform and respect of law, process always
requiring almost unlimited time in respect
of anything which man believes he has
right to have.
Successful prohibition, in the final
analysis, depends upon control of two
human desires - the savage desire for
much money and the ugly desire of men
to do as they like, regardless of the COM
mon good. You have to do something
more than capture the professional pirates.

It's IN the Thinking

THoMAS EDISON. deaf has n phiIos-
i ophy, in respect to his affliction, that
is fine He says that it has given him n
certain sort of seclusion, encouraging n
habit of close hard thinking; and so he
refuses to let the doctors spoil him as
he is.
Ordinarily a person minus one Of the
senses is very apt to become selfrcentered
and narrow-minded 1t depends upon
how far the thinking goes. This is true
even as to people carrying the greatest
of losses in blindness.
It seems very unfortunate and unfair
that man like Edison, who has done
such wonderful things to delight the hear
ing of others, should be deaf. But Edison
is happy in his auricular seclusion, hav-
ing kept his mind broad and open Besides,
he has a mighty fine wife to do his hear

II has been two or three years

The fire did not come In from
the forest with a rush and a
roar A spark blown from the
burning timbes dropped In the
Bindling wood on the porch Of the
hotel Those passing al that time
gave the alarm and the japanese
proprietor began rushing wildly
about removing his household
goods and calling for help
TIRcLiNG around the hillside
" about the hote, were nc other
Japanese houses. whose owners
all worked In the nearby saw
mills. The women began fran
ucaliy removing their children
and then the furniture. The
youngsters were huddled 10.
gether UP on the hill and the
furniture was piled here and
there.
Soon the hotel was gone and
the fire was eating away al the
nearest dwelling. There was no
water or help other than a feeble
bucket brigade. One after nm
other the houses went. The chill
dren were moved farther back.
