Edison Phonograph
Throughout the history of sound reproduction Mr. Edison
has blazed the trail. Every important step has been con-
ceived first in his mind. He is the acknowledged master
of acoustics throughout the world. His recent triumph is
the Blue Amberol Record.
It came, after countless experiments, with all its strength of vol..
ume, sweetness of quality and lasting endurance. To bring out the
remarkable tone of this new
record demanded a new repro-
ducer. He invented it --the
Diamond - Point Reproducer.
With it there is none of the an-
noyance of changing the needle
after each record. The diamond

MOTIONS OF PLANTS.
Some Forms of Vegetable Life Have
the Power of Choice.
One of the Oiler distinctions between
vegetable stud animal life is that ani-
mals halve power of choice and of 'Vol-
untary motion, while vegetables and
!,halts grow only mechanically by nat-
ural law. But the microscope seems to
;chow that many vegetable forms can
move as easily as can animals.
There is a plant (',1110(1 Volvox globe -
tor, so minute that millions of it coilld
be put in a wineglass, waic'h is seen
to whirl like a top across the field of
the microscope. Some plants, found in
our pontis, µMee are still more minute,
wove babitually, as with an apparent
purpose.
Darwin,. who, gave closer study than
any other naturalist to climbing plants,
stated that these seemed to exercise
the liberty of choice. Their tendrils, -
In climbing over pieces of wood with
holes, will try oue hole after another
until they dud one that pleases them.
lie saw one tendril withdraw itself
after having located Itself in a hole for
thirty-six hours.
Other plants will run a long way
over the ground, refusing to climb the
trees in their path until they come to a
peculiar species of tree, to which they
at once cling.-Elarper"s Weekly.
and a few days later the doctor w' 1
summoned for using armorial bear -
tugs without a license.
Since then many people have been
summoned for wearing rings on whic'1
designs were cut, and for using note-
paper bearing arms,
Strangely enough, although every•
one is held liable to license duty in
connection with their use, the law
gives no definition as to what consti-
tutes "armorial bearings, crests, or
ensigns."
The Inland Revenue authorities,
ho .-ever, construe the term "armorial
bearings" as follows:
"A 'bearing' is, properly speaking,
a device or charge depicted on. a
shield or coat of arms. A 'crest' is a
figure or device placea on a 'wreath,'
or anything resembling a 'wreath,'
'Ensign' is a general term for any
distinguishing mark or bearing." Ac-
cording to the same authorities, ci-
phers, monograms, medals, and mas-
sive emblems are not "armorial bear-
ings,"
The cost for c.rmorial bearings on
vehicles is £2 2s. a year, but the cost
for use on anything apart from, ve-
hides is a guinea.
One may possess goods marked
with armorial bearizi gs, but may not
use them. One very novel point has
not yet been settled --whether a per-
son who buys old china, silver, fur-
niture, and so on, having armorial
bearings upon them is liable to pay
the license. •
Everything, it seems, depends upon
whether the person oevnin g the goods
uses them or merely keeps them as
curios,
Many people who collect curios may
have in their possession old plate,
chairs, books, china, or even pictures,
bearing coats of arms. It would be
reducing the law to absurdity to pre-
tend that a man was liable to pay a;
guinea for an antique article bearing
some sort of cre . which he may have
picked up on the Continent, or else-
where, in his travels. If, however,
such artibles could be proved7to be Jr
use the owner would be liable.
Misuse of the Dictionary.
Since the time of Jobnson the dic-
tionaries have attempted to record the
pronunciations. prevalent among the
best speakers of t' nglisb In their gen-
eration.. That they should dictate pro-
11u11(•iation was, of rotirse, as ridiculous
as it would have been futile. But, as
in the case of Caesar, the honor of dic-
tators seems to _have been thrust upon
thein. 'Those who found themselves
wallowing in the sltingll of despond be-
cause of conflicting pronunciations
appealed to the dictionary as' their ar-
biter and protector, and for their fu-
ture safety exalted it to the position
uP n despot. 'i'lius, while nobody
senrrhe's the dictionary to avoid those
words which it stigmatizes as slang,
the pronunciation fiend is continually
devouring its pages lest he commit the
nnpnr(lonable sin of uttering a sellable
not sauc•tiolied lly l:t; authority. -Rob-
ert J. Menner in the Atlantic Monthly.

off the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, has a

The inhabitants are mostly shepherd;
of large flocks of sheen. The oldest
man of the village is in his sevc..-

The reason. they were built in such a
