PLANTS HAVE
NglIVOUS SYSTEM
allESPOND TO :EXTERNAL' FORCES
LIKE HUMAN 'BEINGS: .
Intoxiated by Alcohol, Stupified by
• Chloroform, Degeneration; Through
Laziness.
A series of investigations made by
Professor Jagadis Chunderf Bose, an
Indian scientist, of Calcutta, has re-
sulted in revelations of such far-
reaching scientific importance that it
May be doubted whether even this
distinction now holds good. The bar-
rier between the life -phenomena -of
plants and animals is thrown down.
Evep the commonest vegetable proves,
to be sensitive. Professor Boes has
shown that plants have what may
truthfully be called a nervous sys-
tem—of a simple type, to be sure,
but still a nervous system. The dis-
covery is of momentous interest.
Psychology deals with consciousness;
but without -nerves, without some
means of receiving impressions of
stcams and eunthine, heat and cold,
there can be no- consciousness. Pro-
. lessor Bose by no means holds that
plants have anything like the intel-
ligence of animals, but he has cer;
thinly demonstrated that they re-
spond to external forces, not as so
many living machines, but as sen-
tient organisms. By his extraordin-
ary methods of enquiry he proves
that they are affected in a Very hu-
man way when stimulated from with-
out. They are benuinbed by cold in-
toxicated by alcohol, suffocated by
foul air, wearied by excessive work,
•stupified by anaesthetics, excited by
electric currents, stung by physical
blows, exhilarated in sunshine, de-
pressed in the rain, and killed by pois-
ons. or violence. In a word, they are
responsive or irresponsive under the
same conditions and in the same man-
ner as a human being, sometimes to a
greater and sometimes to a lesser de-
gree. •
No Dead Matter.
Although he is a native of India,
there is not a trace of Oriental inys-
stcim Dr. Bose, nor of that curious
,mixture of occultism and metaphysics
which we associate with the East.
It was soon after his graduation
from Cambridge that Dr. Bose began
the researches Which have resulted
in giving an entirely new aspect to
various phenomena associated with
life. At first he was concerned, not
with living things, but with inorganic
matter—gross, dead, brute matter, as
it imed to be called. That was in
the days when wireless telegraphy
was still a dream, when Marconi was
just beginning to experiment.
If wireless telegraphy was to be-
come a commercial reality, something
better than this eoherer was needed
—something that was self -recovering,
like a human eye. To discover that
something involved a sturdy of the
whole theory of colierer action. Why
was it necessary to tap the glass tube
containing the iron particles?
To answer that question Dr. Bose
began a painstaking investigation. He
found that the iron particles of the
coherer grew weary; they were ac-
tually fatigued because of overstrain;
they had to be revived, and a tap
(a. stimulus, in other words) revived
them. That discovery prompted him
to study over substances. Matter
proved to strangely capricious. He -;
examined it as a biologist examines a
muscle or nerve—electrically. A
piece of animal tissue that is dead
reacts differently from a piece that is
alive. There is an electric twitch
when the living muscle or nerve is
excited, a twitch that can be seen
with the aid of a galvanometer—a
delicate detector of electric currents.
A dead tissue, on the other hand, gives
no response. Tested thus, D. Bose
found matter curiously alive in a real
and not in a figurative sense. He
froze metals, and they became torpid
like an icy muscle; he poisoned them
and then cured them; he narcotized
theen and afterword revived thetn;"he'
pinched them, and they responded
electrically like living flesh; he sub-
jected them .to ceaseless blows, and
they grew tired and irAsponsive; he
allowed thein to rest, and the ability
to respond revived. He .performed
hundreds 4 experiments which prov-
ed inorganic matter is net dead.
First of all, Dr. Bose, set about the
;invention of new insPruments—de-
vices of' unprecedented sensitiveness.
If plants are to lay bare their se-
crets, they must be given the means
of expreseing themselves. In a broad
sense, that is what Dr. Bose has done.
His ingenious recorders are pens of
incredible lightness with which lilies
or cabbages may write down their im-
pressions of the outer world in a
script that we can understand. Use
these instruments 'intelligently, and
vegetation, hitherto mute, will whis-
per its story.
Plants Sensitive.
Enabled to express itself, a plant is
found responsive to all the stimuli
that cause an animal muscle to con-
tract. A• blow -will make a: muscle
twitch; a plant will also twitch when
struck. A 'prink or cut will cause
both vegetal and animal tissue to give
either a mechanical or an electrical
twitch. Pinch a cauliflower stalk
with tweezers, and a reflecting gal-
vanometer—a detector ,• of currents
which, in this instance, may be con-
sidered an electrical substitute for a
brain—can be made to move a beam
of light many feet on a screen and
thus to visualize the stalk's wincing
and recovery.
In order to show that there is a
perfect analogy between beating ani-
mal and beating plant tissues, Dr.
Bose subjects his plants to all the
test that biologists apply to animals,
and few more that he himself con-
ceives. A heart is slowed down bY
either, the biologists say '1"I too
must experiment with either," de-
cides the doctor. He places his plant
in a chamber, and blows in some ether
vapor mixed with air. The plant re-
cords its -exaltation. It has been af-
fected just as if it were human.
Stronger ether vapor is admitted. The
leaflets slow down just as does a
heart under the influence of an an-
esthetic. Will the leaflets stop alto-
gether if too much ether vapor is
poured into its chamber? The heart
will, we kpow. The doctor tests the
plant. For a minute or two the leaf-
lets waver uncertainly; then they stop
—the plant is quite still. Fresh
air is blown into the chamber, and
the effect is magical. Very slowly
the leaflet begins to move, and once
more the record is traced on the glass
plate, weakly and uncertain at first,
but gathering strength as the plant
drinks in each new whiff of arms-
pheric oxygen.
Chloroform has an even more pro-
nounced effect than either. If a slight
excess is administered, the leaflets
stop altogether. The leaflet may
even be killed. Sometimes it takes
as long as half an hour to revive a
telegraph -plant that has been thor-
oughly chloroformed.
Think for a moment cif the signifi-
cance of these experiments. We have
been taught to believe that automat-
ically pulsating tissues draw their
energy from within, and to call this
energy "vital force," If a beating
leaf can be arrested and started again
Simply by- controlling external forces,
t is evidently •abitird to explain its
apparent automotic action by means
of an internal vital fora. Dr. Bose
offer, a new and more plausible the-
ory, one that accounts for all spon-
taneous mamments by the action of
external forces only. A plant is the
plaything of light, electricity, wind,
and rain—of all nature's forces. Like
the ,currents, drugs, and gases em -

RULES GENERALS
WITH IRON HAND
GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS IS A
STATCT DISCIPLINARIAN.
a
Rough Military Discipline for Men
of High Rank Pleases
the Soldiers.
The Grand Duke Nicholas is the
most powerful and beloved figure in
Russia to -day.
Strong of will, determined of pur
pose, the grand duke has not the re-
putation of being a man of enormous
intellectual ability; nor does he pre-
tend to make the plans that govern
the movements of- Russian armies.
He is suirounded by men of military
training and ability whose superior-
ity in their own lines he is the first
to recognize. .
One cf his 'most important duties
is to sit at general headquarters and
keep order among his various 'gen-
erals, whose views are often discord-
ant, to see that plans determined
upon by the general staff are carried
out, even by those who oppose them.
His high position in the imperial
family enables him to treat even gen-
erals with rough military discipline
which alone can maintain order
among the temperamental Slays. The
stern manner with which the grand
duke treats officers of high standing,
who have failed in their duty has en-
deared him to the rank and file of
the army, for the Russian soldier in
this war has felt the heavy hand of
his superiors and likes to know that
these same men are subject to the
same discipline.
Severe on Vodka. •
Many are the stories current about
the grand duke's disciplinary methods
He favored, at the beginning of the
war, the prohibition of the sale of
vodka, and he has been particularly
severe with those officers who have
broken the rule and preferred the
pleasures of revelry to the harsh
duties and dangers of the firing line.
Nicholas frequently makes unex-
pected visits to cities in Poland ne:ta
the front. On one of these visits in
Warsaw he is said to have gone to a
restaurant whete vodka and wine
were secretly sold. Here he found in
a private room carousing several of-
ficers who should have been at the
front. He ordered their arrest, and
that night presided over a court-
martial which condemned them to
die on the morrow. With his own
hands he tore their shoulder straps
from their uniforms.
"You have disgraced your uni-
forms; prepare to die," lie said.
On the following morning he sent
for them.
"I have suspended your sentence,"
he said. "Go to your positions at the
front and each of you return with
the cross of St. George, or do not re-
turn at all."
Punishes by Death.
When the 10th army corps was cut
up on the Grodno front in East Prus-
sia the grand duke sent for the gen-
eral in command, and is said to have
struck him across his face and tom'
off his shoulder straps.
At the time the Germans started
their now famous drive from Cracow,
Gen. Radko Dimitrieff, the celebrated
Bulgarian soldier, was in command of
the Russian forces opposing this ad-
vaace. It is said that to supply
the troops in the Carpathians am-
munition had been taken from the
army of Dimitriefi, so that his troops
had only forty rounds of small arm
ammunition fcr each man. A gen-
eral commanding an army corps re-
fused to obey an order of Gen. Dim-
itrieff en the ground that he did not
have enough ammunition. ,The re-
sult was the capture of 75,000 Rus-
sian soldiers. Immediately the grand
duke went to Galicia to preside over
the court-martial which tried and
condemned to death the general who
had disobeyed orders.
While the imperial leader does not
actually work out the war liking of
the Russian army he does- influence
the general ideas' that control Rus-
sian strategy. It is -even said -that the
ultra -conservative and' defensive
tendencies of Gen. DueskY led finally
to a breach between him and the grand
duke which caused the general's re-
tirement from the command,of the
armies in Poland.
This story is merely a rumor. The
official statement is that Gen. Russ-
ky was suffering from an incurable
disease said could not longer bear the
great strain of his work. Gen. Russ-
ky is said to be a scholar, lie is a
small man, wears glasses, and cer-
tainly looks 'more like a scholar than
a soldier.

The Elderly Safety Phi.
The ▪ safety pin and the hook and
eye are generally supposed to be mod-
ern inventions. The former, in fact,
has been credited to Queen Vietoria.
She may have improved upon it, but
certainly she is not entitled to the dis-
tinction of having invented it. Numer-
ous specimens of the useful contriv-
ance have been found in theruins of
Cote. Both the safety pins and the
hook and eye now in the museum
were made at leastnine hundred years
before Christ. Some are made of
bronze, but amber or some other ma-
terial was often used on the more, ela-
borate pins. Some Were even made
of finely wrought gold.

LIONELVALTER
ROTHSCHILD
PREFERS 200 TO MS,FATHER'S
' FORTUNE.
New Baron Show'ed So Little Interest
in Finance Was Left Only
$25,000 a Year.
Would you sacrifice an inheritance
of $50,000,000 for the Imre of a few
bugs and animals? Would you be
chasing rare specimens of zebras and
oStriches and fleas about the world
when a few hours a day spent in
chasing the elusive dollar in London
would have assured you a fortune
that would make all except a handful
of men throughout the world jealous ?
Of course, you wouldn't; yet there
is a man in London who ha done all
this and does not regret it. He is
Lionel Walter Rothschild, the new
Rothschild, and because he would not
'concern himself with exchange and
finance and company promotion and
the other pastimes of the financial
world, but spent his waking hours
among his unexcelled collection of
animals at Tring, .in Hertfordshire,
his late father has cut him off with
a paltry $25,000 a year, leaving the
rest of his gigantic fortune and th,e
partnership in the immensely .power-
ful House of Rothchild to his second
son. '
It was the new baron whe acquired
an island in the Pacific Ocean for the
sole 'purpose oY breeding giant tor-
toises of which the Tring zoo boasts
some remarkable specimens. He it
was who issued a wonderful book on
extinct birds a few years ago, which
it cost $100,000 and many years of
labor to produce.
• Enthesiast in Fleas.
He it was who sent a scientist to
the Cannibal Islands to ransack them
at the risk of his life for rare sped -
mens of beasts; birds, and bugs and
wile offered $5,000 for a perfect sped -
men of the Arctic flea and actually
paid that sum for a rare butterfly
from Eucador, and whose collection of
such strange things as birds of para-
dise, baboons, and, deep sea fishes is
known to be unique.
It has been common knowledge for
years that the new head of the
Rothchild family knew little and cared
less about the ins and outs of the fam-
ous banking business in New
Square. It is hard, however, to im-
agine a Rothchild without at least
some aptitude for the business of
money getting, and they were pro-
bably wrong who fancied that when
the Hon. Walter came to St. Swith-
in's lane it was to buy a Himalayan
bear, a wildcat or a rather expensive
hawk eagle.
But few persons outside of the
Eothschilds family could have antici-
pated the bombshell of the late Lord
Rothschild's will, for out of his enor-
mous fortune, the heir to the title
received a legacy of only $25,000 a
year, or exactly one-half of what be
is said to spend yearly in the upkeep
of his famous zoo (his mother receiv-
ed $500,000 in a lump).
Has Other Millions.
Second thoughts, however, make it
plain that this explanation of a truly
amazing last will and testament will
not hold water, for not only has the
new head of the Rothschild bank
shared to the full in the zoological en-
thusiasm of his brother, but he has
taken the lead in the queerest of all
the Hon. Walter's naturalistic activi-
ties—namely, the systematic collec-
tion of every known kind of flea that
vexes the animal kingdom—to the
latter's benefit, as David Harum
steadfastly believed. The 10,000
fleas of all forms and sizes in the
museum at Tring Park are, in fact,
the property of the Hon. Charles, but
the fact remains that, unlike his eld-
er brother, he had' not been obsessed
by his devotion to natural history,
but for years has been one of the
most active and capable members of
the firm of which he is now the head.
The late Lord Rothschild took pains
to explain in his will, moreover, that
his legacy to his eldest son was so
comparatively small for the reason
the latter already had received annui-
ties both by his great -great and his
great-uncle—annuities that are be-
lieved to have made him many times
a millionaire. The new Lord Roths-
child, at 46, M an apparently a con-
firmed bachelor.

British forts are broad, circular gal-
leries, well ventilated, and fitted with

tening galleries," because, in times of
siege, they are guarded by relays of
expert listeners, who keep their ears
pricked up for the pick and shovel of
the enemy.

That is the Usual Condition of Per-
sons Afflicted With Anaemia,
Anaemia is the medical term, 'for
poor watery," blood. It may arise from
a variety Of causes, such as lack of
exercise, hard study,' improperly ven-
tilated rooms or workshops, poor
digestion, etc. The, chief, symptoms
are extreme pallor ,of the face and
gums, rapid 'breathing and palpita-
tion of the heart after slight exertion,
headaches, dizziness and a tendency
to hysteria, swelling of the feet and
limbs and a distaste for food. All
these symptoms may not be present,
but any of them indicate anaemia
which should be promptly treated
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
Pills make new, rich blood which
stimulates and strengthens every or-
gan and every part of the body. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have made them -
ands of anaemic people bright, active
and strong. The following is one of
the many cures. Mrs. Phillips, wife
of Rev. W. E. Phillips, Princeton, Ont.,
says: "Some years, ago, while living
with my parents in England I fell
yictim of anaemia. The usual compli-
cations set in and soon I became but
a shadow of my former self. MY
mother, who had been a former nurse
of many years experience, tried all
that her knowledge sugiested; tonics
Of variouk kinds were tried, and
three doctors' did their best for me,
but Without avail, and a continued
gradual decline and death was look-
ed for.
"Later my parents decided to join
my brothers in Canada, and it was
confidently expected that the ocean
voyage, new climate and new cond
dons would cure me. For a time
did experience temporary benefit, bu
was -soon as ill again as ever. I wa
literally bloodless, and the extrem
pallor and generally hopeless appea
ance of my condition called fort
many experiences of sympathy fro
friends whom we made in our ne
home in Acton, Ont. Later a frien
urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pin
Pills, and although in a conditio

CANADA'S FIRE LOSS.
In ExceSs of That of Any Country in
the World.
At a recent meeting of the Berlin,
Ont., Board of Trade the following
facts were brought' out in a resolu-
tion Placed on recordie,
The fire loss per capita in Canada
is 'greatly in except of that of any
other civilized country in the _world,

With a correspondingly high rate of
insurance premium; and in the past
ten years the dverage annual loss in
ten Canadian cities from Halifax to
cents per head as against an aver-
age annual loss of $3.55 per head in
ten aCndian cities from Halifax to
Vancouver, with an average rate of
premium in the 'British cities of but
22 cents per $100 of insured value
egainst an average of $1.46 in Can-
adian cities.
The fire losses of $14,000,000 paid
by Canadian companies in 1913 would
at the British rate of premium, be
'reduced to $2,300,000, thus bringing
about an annual saving of nearly
$12,00,000, which, in every, decade,
would alnglint, with compound in-
terst, to more than the Dominion GeV -
comment's contribution thus far ,for
war purposes; it being equally true
that this huge sum represents per-
haps less than half of the annual
losses directly or indirectly resulting
from fire, thus justly representing us
in the eyes of European countries, on
the one hand, as a nation of incen-
diaries, and, on the other, is absolute
incoMpetents, and fully authorizing
the verdict that the result is not only
t a national criminal waste, but also a
s "burning shame."
In the United States though their
rate of loss is considerably lower
h than Canada's, the National Fire Pro-
tection Association of that country,
d in a recent report, referred to their
"reckless and unceasing waste" as an
n "impoverishment of the nation."
Our own losses are continually de -
o plored and lamented, not only by our
o insurance companies, but by the pub-
lic generally, and remedial action is
continually urged along Provincial
o t lines, as yet without avail.
The Canadian Commission of Con-
• servation has achieved excellent re -
suits in the conservation of our na-
tional waterpowers in the great re-
.
r duction of forest fires along our
e railways, has initiated a movement
h for conservation on broad national
xi lines for city planning, and has
sought out and applied means to con-
serve our national resources in other
directions, thus making it inclispen-
y sible that they have, the organization
to take up this most important and
directly beneficial feature of nation-
al conservation with every prospect of
' success.
The Berlin Board of Trade request-
ed the Canadian Commission of Con-
servation to take up this matter as a
_ special department of its work with
expert assistance for formulating re-
commendations to' -the different 'Pro-
vinces, and directing an effort in
Canada to approximate gradually to
the European standard; and concert,
ed action in a movement of this kind
is more likely to bring results.
For Mothers and Fathers.
mothers, fathers, teach your coil
dren stability, the value of sticking to
it. From their early years instill
into them how important it is that
they should learn patience and thor-
oughness. Teach them to be thor-
ough at their games, at- their home
lessons, and, above all, let them learn
that to. succeed in anything they
must first plod patiently through
drudgery. Those who want to skip
drudgery and leap at once into doing
more important things should be
checked in early life. The worker
hi real life who has won a good posi-
OM has generally done so by first
passing through a lot of irksome
tasks. So teach your children when
they are young the importance of do-
ing little things' well, and tell them
that in time this will lead them to ac-
complish big things. Children, as a
rule, are impatient, and do not like
drudgery. But if they are taught
that insignificant things well done
may lead to much bigger things later
on they will be learning a lesson
which will one day be of great value
to them.

Butterflies and Guns.
In a recent lecture on modern artil-
lery at the Royal Institution, in Lon-
don, Lieut. Col. A. G. Hadeock com-
pared the life of the big guns now in
use in the British navy to the life of
a butterfly that is born, lives its full
span, and dies of old age'all within
the space of twenty-four hours. It
takes from ten to twelve months to
make a fourteen -inch gun. Its "life,"
properly speaking, is the length of
time that it in in actual use. When
not in use i'is merely a dead mass of
metal. According to Colonel Had -
cock, if it Were possible to make the
gun "live" all the time, by Sending an
Incessant stream of projectiles
through it, it would "die" of old age— '
in other words, would be worn out—
in twelve seconds.
One way to improve the memory is
to assume for a moment that you
have everything you want.

A German Mistake.
Speaking of, the means by which
the Kaiser and his War Lords seek
to hoodwink his own p,a.ople as well
as other nations, Dr. Miller says:—
"Their -lying has not even been self -
consistent. To the multitude Britain
is represented as a warlike power
leagued with others, as warlike as her-
self to ruin Germay. To those who
have adopted the- Prussian faith Brit-
ain is represented as decadent, sunk
in luxury and exhausted, every mem-
her of whose empire, India first of
all; will throw off her hated yoke as
soon as she is attacked. The contra-
diction between these two representa-
tions must sooner or later become ob-
vious even to Germans."
One day two laborers were discuss-
ing the wisdom of the present gener-
ation. Said one: "We be wiser than
our fathers was, and they was wiser
than their father was." The second
one, after pondering a while and gaz-
ing at his companion, replied: "Well,
Garge, what a fele thy grandfather
must a' been."

You Can Be Brave.
When you cannot be happy you
can be brave. There are things no-
body can enjoy, especially, aches,
pains, disappointments, unkindnessept
and things of that sort. Nobody ex-
'peets that you 'boys and girls can be
just as happy over your troubles as
you are over your blessings. But
that does not excuse you for fretting
and whimpering just as soon as
things go wrong. If you cannot be
happy you can be brave.

all aeroplanes look very much alike,
