PLANT HAS CONSTANT MOTION Ao Long aa It Lives the Leavea of Vegetable Growing In India Jerk 8paamodlcally. Perpetual motion machine of the bo tanist Is a plant which grows lit In dia. It is never quiet. Its leaves are dancing day and night, and neither the dead atmosphere of a tropical noon nor the soft breezes of twilight are able to soothe It with their rest ful lullabies. Botanists call it the tele graph plant. Its motions differ from those of the aspen tree, which la the American type ofliimost perpetual motion In na ture. The aspen leaf Is afTected by the lightest breeze, and quivers. The leaves of the telegraph plant, have a sort of jerking motion. Each leaf is divided Uito three leaf lets. The outside pair move up and down in nervous tittle Jumps, as if they were being touched ind shocked by some electric wire. The middle leaflet Isn't quite so lively, but it keeps up a continual motion, nevertheless. The only time the plant la quiet Is ; when It Is dead. It belongs to a big ! family of tropical plants known by ! the name of desmodum. Members of ! this family are characterized by long ! leaves, small flowers and flat Jointed | pods. Crimean War. Russian encroachment upon Turkey | was the direct cause of the Crimean war. For many years previous to 1853, Russia had cast a covetous eye upon Constantinople and the sultan's pos sessions and had contrived in various treaties to lay the foundation of a claim to something like a protectorate over the Christians of the Oreek church in Turkey amounting to three fourths of the sultan's subjects in Eu rope. As early as 1844 Emperor Nich olas had proposed to divide with Britain the Inheritance of the "Sick Man," as he called Turkey, and In 1853 he began to urge his claims in a form which Turkey could not accept without ceasing to remain an inde pendent state. The other great pow ers Intervened as mediators, but in vain, and meantime a Russian army took possession of Moldovia and Wal lacia. After nearly, a year of fruitless diplomacy, negotiations were broken off, and Britain and France agreed to support Turkey by armed interven tion. War was proclaimed against j Russia on March 28, 1854. The wfer j thus undertaken lasted two years. The Fly in the Ointment. Mrs. Higglns, says Answers, was an | incurable grumbler. She grumbled at j everything and everyone. But at last I the vicar thought he had*fQund some thing about which she could make no complaint; the old lady's crop of po tatoes was certainly the finest for miles round. "Ah, for once you must bo well pleased," he said, with a beaming smile, as he met her in the village street. "Everyone's aaying how splen did your potatoes are this year." The old lady glowered at him as she answered : "They're not so poor. But where'* the bad one* for the pigs?" A Woman's Job. ' "Writing," said Mrs. Gertrude Ath erton, the novelist and feminlnist, "is a woman's job. Men ought to do things, not write about them. When j a man does nothing but write his hands get soft and his character, too*' f Mrs. Atberton once nearly fell in love ! with * man who was a writer. But a : thought saved her in time, she con fides to an interviewer. "I thought: 'Good heavens! the man does nothing but sit _on a three-legged stool and wiite little stories all day and peddle them about to the magaxtnes; he night as well be crocheting!' so 1 p promptly recovered."

Unless it does this accurately it is worse than useless, for it is like man you cannot depend upon. Many a man has twenty-five or thirty dollars 4ied up in a watch which is worthless when if he would invest a dollar or two for having it repaired he would get the full value of it.
