Sees Composition as
Erodicotor of Slang

Composition is the most effective
means of Graduating slang. says Ram
say Macdonald, former prime minis
ter of England
youths practiced in writing down
their thoughts will very rarely prac-
tice slang for their conversation" he
declared. "Slang is one of the most
certain signs of decadent minds. It is
not only murder of good English, but
1t murders truth itself.
"The use Of slang is a fraud upon
yourself You imagine you are clever
and impressive, but as a matter of
fact you are exactly the opposite. II
Is fraud on your friends because
you mislead them. You pretend to
eel them what you are thinking when
as a matter Of fact you are doing
nothing Of the kind. 1t is the resort
Of the lazy and slovenly."

Nel0 Scientific Light
on Plant Intelligence

An intoxicated carrot has convinced
Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, the British
plant Psychologist, that plants have
Intelligence.
Sir Jagadis is more than ever con-
sinced that trees fall In love just as
human beings do, as a result of his
latest experiments. The intelligence
IF plants, he says, approaches the In
stinctive intelligence OF the lower
forms of animals. He bases his con-
illusions on observation OF the injec-
ton Of alcohol, chloroform, carbonic
acid and other chemicals into living
plants. He also has looked into ar
0oreal am0urs on the spot.
Trees apparently select other trees
nearby as objects Of affection. Sir
Jagadis said in an interview. Trees
thus smitten send out tendrils to en-
fold the objects Of their affection.
BY injections. Sir Jagadis said he
was able to make a carrot drunk or
to make It lose consciousness. Plant
hbers really are muscles, he contends.

Row Diamonds Not Costly

Diamonds are sold at an average
price of SIC a carat at the mines IN
South Africa, while purchasers pay
from fifteen to twenty times as much
for the cut gem in this country. The
rarity of fine stones, an expert says,
Is but one factor In the high price
The great amount of hIgh-grade labor
expended to turn the raw stone into
a finished gem is the main item.
The cutting process involves the
constant risk OF spelling the entire
stone. A first step consists In cleav-
ing the specimen with the grain and
requires grea. care and skin. Small
ends are recut into brilllants, while
the gem itself Is faceted on top and
bottom.
The next process involves the lap
ping Of the remaining facets, which
requires more time than the cutting and
causes the stone to lose from one to
two-thirds OF its weight.-Popular Me
