Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable until noon: They then be-
come adverse and remain so for the
balance of the day. In the morning
the signs denote success for all OBJ
servances and regular customs of a
Sunday. Later on they indicate a
critical attitude, combined with a
large measure of doubt and misgiv-
ing. This condition can be counter
acted by will power and participa-
ton in family or social amenities.

realizing your advantages in this re-
spect. are disposed to rely more upon
words than actions. You have the
affection of many friends. but few
Of them respect you and without re-
spect there cannot be confidence.
Your ability is unouestiohed. Your
resourcefulness is ever. in evidence.
You. however, justify everything you
do by the assurance that the end

convincing to you, but 1t does not
carry conviction to others.
In your heart affairs you are tickle,
without meaning to be so. You are
q victim of many infatuations. each
one Of which looms up before you as
the real thing, but of all OF which,
after time you tire and grow weary.
This, of course, does not spell happi-
ness In home life. the only safe basis
for which is mutual faith and con-

SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Linnaeus.

| In the full tide OF Spring, on this
day. was born a man whose birthday
will certainly never be the occasion
| for any holidays, but one who ought
| always to be remembered by all
| flower lovers-Karl Won Lime. the
| great botanist. whom we know better
| under his scholarly name. Carolus
Linnaeus.
In 1907. in a country town in
| Sweden. Linnaeus first saw light. and
when but child OF 10 he had such a
passion for flowers that he was known
as the little botanist ''--Linnaeus
who was to grow into the big hotanist.
the great botanist. the greatest. in
some ways, that ever lived.
In his days the science of botany
was in the hands of pedantic old men,
who wrote dull and superstitious
treatises or plants and generally
made the science so obscure that no.
body cared to study it.. Into this un.
enlightened world the sunny mind of
Linnaeus came like beam Of light,
simplifying. clarifying. Where other
men had studied plants only in dark.
musty studies. Linnaeus went to the
woods and fields and gardens. His
famous trip through Lapland was in
way the first modern scientific ex-
ploration journey. Instead Of reading
what Aristotle had said about plants
1000 years before. Linnaeus went to
see for himself. His knowledge of dead
languages was indifferent; his knowl-
edge of living, breathing plants was
matchless.
He is running botany" said one of
the old pedants, but 1t was Linnseus
who first put life into that delightful
science. We are apt to resent the fact
that he gave plants Latin names. but
we ought to be thankful that he gave
them only two names apiece. Prede.
cessors had given each one string
of 20 or 80.
Nor was Linnaeus' work bounded
by the limits Of his native land. He
never Travelled widely, but he raised
up around him a host of enthusiastic
students and admirers in other lands.
He was in constant correspondence
with many Americans. and these
friends sent him plants. so that the
flowers OF the original 13 colonies
were fairly we'll known to him when
he set himself down to the task of
naming and describing all the species
of plants then known in the world. OF
course. he came nowhere near finish
ing the task. but he had freed botany
from the letters of scholasticism, and
from that day il became possible for
amateurs as we'll as professionals to
study plants.
We see him in his old age. an apple.
checked old man, young enough to
dance a polka with the country lassies
still. old enough to enjoy his huge old
pipe and the wisdom and mellowness
Of his years. All honor, then. on this
day to Linnaeus, who was. II not the
greatest of all botanists. at least the
first of the moderns, a true scientist
and a true lover of nature.

and brooding and having q grand old
time weeping.
They admit that in the bright morn
ing light many OF their fears seem
groundless. but still they can't forget
the brilliant ideas which came to
them at IL the night before.
1t was at Just ten minutes past
IL the other night that Anne sud
denly gave a. start. shook herself and
thought. NOW. Andy acted mighty
funny when he met that Johns girl

And then she had her second brain

unfaithful he might be. II only he
didn't care for me. I've always
thought he was just kidding. but what

acted awfully chummy for ffrst

while he runs around on the sly. meet

getting all about me-"
! Anne went on like this for two hours.
at the end of which time she had a
crying fit and drifted off to troubled
dreams.
Next morning she was inclined to
laugh at her fears Of the previous
night. But that little suspicion, that
fear formed in the midnight hour, re-
maineo fixed in her mind. And Of
course, looking for trouble she found
plenty. Found lots of evidence that
| pointed TO Andy's unfaithfuiness.
1t all came out in the quarrel that
finally took place.
Bitterness and sorrow and jealousy
resulted from the tiny thought that
kept Anne awake one night.
You girls haven't any idea how
much your ight-brooding affects your
lives.
Many a girl goes to bed in the hap
piest frame of mind. and just as she s
drifting off to sleep. suddenly inquiries.
Now what did he mean when he said
that today?"
And there in the dark it seems TO
her that he meant something sinister.
threatening, sarcastic, nasty and in
sulting-she puts the worse possible
Interpretation on whatever she re-
members.
II is a wise plan to push thoughts
out of your mind when they come
clamoring to keep you from sleep.
No matter how peacefully you may
start thinking over certain incidents.
the midnight hour will turn your
thoughts somber. will darken your
mind, and hatch horried doubts and
fears.
Very in the daytime II you must
worry. then at least you'll have a
clear idea of what you're worrying
about.

Bacteria are generally thought of
with a shudder because they cause
human disease and death. This is
true only of few bacteria, however.
and life on this earth could not go on
without bacteria as they keep the
fertility of the soil up and aid us
humans in digestion In fact 1t has
been thought that bacteria. minute as
they are, might have been the orig
inal life forms and even have drifted
about from star to star. bringing life.
for they can grow without sunlight.
can endure intense heat and intense
cold, both of which they might en-.
counter in stellar space. and can in
some cases feed or subsist on raw
chemical elements (Which no other
living thing can). such as iron.
sulphur nitrogen: some can also live
without air. and we know there is no
air between the stars.
Now what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. Oxygen. due to its great weight, IL
found chiefly near the earth; hence at
great attitudes il is hard to breathe
for lack of oxygen. and sensation of
sitting is produced in heart and
lungs.
9 The earth's atmosphere is too
rarened at 10 miles TO support human
life long: at so miles 1t is practically
non-existent. but probably faint traces
of air might be found at 100 miles.
3. Gravity Is most active on the sur
face Of the earth, less so at high alti.
tudes.
4. Einstein believes that gravity as
notion of pull" toward the earth
is relative to the speed of our rota
ton; if the world spun round so times
as fast everything would gravitate
away from the earth; in other words,
we would fall up. not down.
5. No gravity would be felt by O
body in the wider spaces between the
stars.
6. The gravitational pull of the sun
is great enough to keep the earth ro-
tating around 1t. but the speed Of our
rotation is centrifugal from the sun.
which keeps us from falling into the
sun.

ments were understood to be on their
way from Montreal under Gen. Bene-
dict Arnold and Maj. SherbuYne.
Maj. Butterfield surrendered how
ever. on the 18th. on the condition
that his men should not be put in the
hands Of the savages. or their bag
gage plundered. The surrender was
made before any injuries had been
done to the garrison, and despite the
facts that the enemy had no cannon
that the garrison was amply provided
with provisions and ammunition and
that reinforcements were near at
hand.
Immediately after the surrender the
Americans, contrary to agreement
were intrusted to the custody of the
savages. who plundered their baggage
and stripped them of their clothing.
On the goth Mai Sherburne. when
| miles from the Cedars with a rescue
party OF 100, encountered 500 of the
enemy. and was forced to surrender
after a fight lasting one hour. His
party was also put under the custody
of the Indians. then led to join Ma j.
Butterfield's force and stripped OF
baggage and apparel
1t is rumored that another feature
| OF the surrender was that an ex-
cha nge OF prisoners was to be made.
but with the condition that the ex-
changed Americans should agree never
again to bear arms against the
British.
