exceedingly beautiful; its business

no Mtge jawed politicians were holding
up the exquisite iron gates; no oflice
seekers were sprinkling the yard With
mug language and tobacco juice; the
plmyas more than respectable—it was
attractive.
In this palace of King Demos there
are stateapartments most richly be- ,
decked; there are a drawing room. a
dinosroom, a banquet room, and 1 know ‘
not what, and these apartments are
used on festive occasions when official
citydom is expected to disport itself to
the credit of the community—which

thousand representatives comes to join‘
in the gayety.
The mayor of Glasgow is called the
lord provost. He is chosen for three
years at nothing a year. He is expect—
ed to live in some state and hospitality
and to uphold the gentle dignity of the
town. It costs him from $10,000 to
$15,000 or $20,000 annually to do this,
as circumstances serve. Obviously it is
easier for a rich man than it is for
camel to enter the provostship of Glas-
gow. But the Gluswegians propose
that if the camel be not available, then
shall not . the rich man have it all his
own way. They talk now of endowi‘ng .
the provostship, so that the some use-
essarily spent upon splendor may hence~
forth come from the public purse. But
they do not propose to give the lord
provost a salary. His services must be
gratuitous as before.
Glasgow is a solid looking town.
Every building is of stone, after the
Scotch way. One rarely secs brick in
Scotland. The ribs of the hills are dug
out for building withai, so that a
Scotch town seems built to endure.
Wherever you go you find stone stairs
in the buildings of Glasgow.
The difference between British build-
ing and American is not more marked
than in this matter of stone stairways
and brick partition walls—dwelling
houses, I mean, as well as warehouses.
Deeming it necessary to prevent the
construction of sky cleaving buildings.
which shut out light, air and every-
thing but ugliness, the Glasgow folk

which we have not. The municipality
has constructed a number of bath:
houses, fitted with huge white tiled
swimming tanks, each holding from
80,000 to 100,000 gallonsof water. The
water is kept at atemperaturo of '70 dc-
grees. These baths are open day and
evening throughout the year. The ad—
mission to these baths is 4 cents per per-
son. Half a million bathvrs use those
tanks in a year. Connected with the
bath buildings are \vashhousos where

Heliotropism is thepeculiar property
shown by many plants, notably the
sunflower, of always turning towa‘r d the
sun. in the case of seedlings the phe-
nomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded in growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side. Professor
Romaues has experimented with an in-
termittent light. such as that of an
electric spark discharge, upon mustard
seedlings. and has found that the helic-
troplc effect produced in this way is far
greater than that caused by the sun or
any ,hor form of light. Strange to
lay, owsver. this abnormal influence
is unaccompanied by the generation of
phlorophyil, the green coloring matter
in plants which requires sunshine for
its proper production-«Pall Mall Ga-
