• H»Ht» That Qlvt Heat.
„ „Wfe dq ttot, as <1 hile, think of plants
as giving put heat, yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
of temperature. Most remarkable In
this respect are certain kinds of Arum.
Just at the opening of tho flower In
these cases there is a great liberation
of heat This is due to the fact that
the respiration, or breathing. Is at
auch times very rigorous. Some very
Interesting experiments have been car
ried out in connection with these
Arums by means of placing a ther
mometer Just inside the spatlie. One
of the most remarkable cases was that
of a species growing on the Mediter
ranean coast and known as Arum
Itallcum. The temperuture of the air
was 00 degrees at the time of the ex
periment. That Inside the spntbe was
110 degrees. At that time the blos
soms, which when expanded are prac
tically scentless, gave out a fragrance
suggestive of Wine. It Is said that
plants of this type aro particularly
common In Mexico.—St. Nicholas.
Profects In Francs.
Mayors are appoliited In Franco in
much the same way as In England,
but the prefect is a permanent gov
ernment official, with infinitely greater
power and of much more importance.
He Is the supreme head of a depart
ment—of which there are eighty-six—
and It Is his duty to see that the laws
passed in Faris are carried out prop
erly In every commune of bis depart
ment He has control over the po
lice and even over the military should
their services be required In nn Indus
trial or political dispute. lie sees that
the taxes are collected, and every pub
lic improvement scheme is submitted
to him in order that he may decide
by whom the cost should be borne.
The post «>f prefect is well paid and
often leads to higher tilings. For in
stance, M. Paul Cambon held three
prefectures before he was given a dip
lomatic post.—Londou Spectator.
•'A Thief of Health."
"The man who coughs or sneezes In
your presence without covering his
mouth with a handkerchief Is n thief,"
the bulletin of the St. IxjuIs health de
partment says.
"He Is a thief of heullli and com
fort," continues the bulletin. "Of
course he does not know it. and he
does not mean to injure his friends
and companions, but he dues that very
thing every time he coughs "r sneezes
without protecting his mouth and nose
with his handkerchief.
"Watch the people who nre a 111 Ic ted
and take note of how few persons use
a handkerchief when sneezing or cough
ing. They scatter grip germs In of
fices, workshops, stores, aud within
twenty-four to forty-eight hours thou
sands of persons nre Infected. Nobody
seems to think it worth while to use
a handkerchief."
Conclusive.
On one occasion Herr Stelnltz, the
famous chess master, was discussing
political economy with a distinguished
professor In England, and the Mal
thuslau theory came up. After the
usual arguments the veteran chess
player thus wound up the controversy:
"It's all nonsense what they say.
Tou tell me a poor man has no right
to hare a large family. You say his
doing so Is not honest. Is a positive In
Jury to his country and to humanity. I
tell you you are wrong, and I'll prove
It. My father was a i>oor man—a very
poor man. My father was an honest
man—a very honest man. Well, he had
thirteen children, and I. Wilhelm
Stelnltz, the chess champion of the
world, I am the thirteenth!"
Gamest Fighters.
Sparrows are proverbially pugna
cious. Sometimes a tree will be a
Bparrow battleground, and for ten min
utes It w-lll be as lively as a dog fight
Probably the finest fighter in the
world, quadruped or biped. Is the game
cock. He Is a match for anything his
size In the world if he gets a fair field
and no favor. He Is as quick as a flash
of lightning, and his spurs nre terrible
wea 110ns, quite as effective as a pair of
bayonets, and used much more scien
tifically and forcefully.—London Tele
graph.
John Adams' inauguration.
John Adams, the second president
saw more persons weeping at his Inau
guration than he had ever seen at any
funeral and said of it:
"Whether it was because of the loss
of a beloved president or the accession
of an unpopular one, I cannot say."
