A DeUghtful llranch of Science With Which to Become Acquainted. ; They are a difficult brauch to study, for the descriptions are shrouded in a i mysterious language that needs an un abridged dictionary to translate it, and ! a good microscope is necessary if one wishes to examine their internal struo- I ture and spores. But they are a delight- J ful and easy branch of science to be come acquainted with by observation. They are to be fountf all the year l round on stones and fence rails and on trees. They are easy to mount and are so fascinatingly ugly or beautiful that they make an interesting collection. In almost any wild bit of country there are from 50 to 70 kinds to be found, and even in the most civilized place, at one’s own hearth, there are sure to bo seven or eight species growing on the sticks of wood laid for the fire. They are so like and yet unlike that they sharpen the powers of comparison and observation I until one feels that the keen bladed ! knife and pocket lens, which are con ' stant companions in a lichen ramble, i are dull compared with one’s owui ■ bright mind. Lichens—and, by the way, they are pronounced li-kens, not litch-ens—grow in three ways, which can be easily dis tinguished at a glance. There are crus taceous lichens that grow close to a stone or bark and have no leafy part, but arc simply a few warts or dots or a stain. There are foliaceous lichens that lie fiat. They are green or brown or yellow leathery plants that are something like leaves, and that have brown or red or pink disks on them, and there are fruti cose lichens that grow upright like lit tle shrubby bushes, with bright col ored knobs. Go to any birch tree, and there will be seen within a stained circle some cu rious little black marks like elfin hiero glyphs. They are the fruit spots of a common lichen called, very appropriate ly, Graphis scripta. Almost any tree one visits will have some irregular cir cular stains upon it, especially if the bark is quite smooth, and in tho center there will be some brow’n or black or W’hite specks. It is easy to collect such crustaceous lichens by slicing off a thin strip of the bark, largo enough to show the outline of the stain, and by writing the name of tho tree from which it was taken on the bark, but it is quite a dis- I ferent matter when one sits down beside | a bowlder.—New York Independent ■ SENATOR VANCE MET THE ISSUE. But the Reporter Failed to Get a Big “Scoop** All the Same. “I once had an experience,” said an old newspaper man at the Press club to a reporter, ‘‘with the late Senator Vance which I shall never forget It was during Crisp’s first contest for the speak ership, and, as you all probably remem ber, every newspaper man in town was i hustling for inside news. The sources I of this, as usual in such cases, were very I few, and Senator Vance, who was act ing in the capacity of an advisor to the nominating caucus, had to spend most of his time dodging journalists. “So wary did he become that he dis continued taking his lunch in the senate restaurant and had it served in a com mittee room. One day, however, 1 caught a glimpse of him passing through one of the lower corridors on the house side. Determined not to let him escape me, I at once hastened forward, and in the most innocent manner possible be gan asking him about his health, which ! was rather bad at the time. He answer ed all my questions in the kindest manner possible and was about to leave when I said: ” ‘Oh, by the W’ay, senator, who do you think will get the nomination?’ “ ‘I don’t know exactly, ’ he replied, ‘but they will have to fight if they want to win. ’ ‘‘Certain now of my information, I began to see the letter I was going to re i ceive from the home office, after they had published my big scoop, telling me i in the most flattering terms that the paper had decided to raise my salary on j account of my good work. ‘‘ ‘Which side, senator?’ I asked, al ; most in a w’hisper for fear some one j would be lurking in the dark recesses , and hear the reply which was to make mo the most noted hustler for news in the ranks of journalism. “ ‘Both sides,’ he replied as he disap peared in the door of a committee room. ‘‘And the letter that I looked for never came. ” —Washington Times.

The Mexican Ag&ve, The Mexican agave is a vegetable growth used in making an intoxicating wine. According to a tradition of the ! country, it was the first plant God made. ' Another species of the agave is used for the same purpose as soap, its leaves I when broken and rubbed together pro | ducing a cleansing lather. It is also I employed in poisoning fish to be eaten, I this poison, like so many others, having i no effect upon the person who eats the fish. —St Louis Post-Dispatch.
