How much water does a. plant
drink in a given number 01' hours
under given conditions is a question
which has puzzled botanists for
some time. Dr. B. E. Livingston.
professor at plant. physiology ol' the
Johns Hopkins University. and J. D.
\Vilson, an associate. have develop-
ed a. device designed to ansvicr the
problem.
it is a glass bottle with a. rubber
cork. through which two holes are
made. Through one of these holes
a. cutting of the plant is inserted.
where it remains until it has put
forth leaves and roots. the latter in
the water with which the bottle is

glass tutu: tilled with water is placed
in the second hole in the cork. the
tube marked to measure the water
with which it is ii ed. At the roots
ot‘ the. plant take up tho water in
the bottle that. in the tube dimin-
ishes and thus the measurement is'
made.
Varied Tests Described.
Dr. Livingston says that the dif-
ference betwrcn the quantity of wa-
ter consumed by the plant in sun;
light. as compared with the amount
is consumes in a shady spot can he
sccnvat oncv- and the difference be-
tween the quantity consumed by one

consumed by another order. The
experiments thus far have

tilizers is also measured by placing‘
them in the water and watching the ‘
growth of the plant.
From this experiment it is hoped E
to go further and to perfect exists:
which may be attached to the roots 1
of growing trees and plants to meas—
ure. how much water they use. in wr— .
tual conditions. The gauge which
the doctor and Mr. \Vilson have nsctl

experiment on cuttings.
How They Drink.

plants and trees got the largest pail

Dr. Livingston was not willing to .
discuss in detail the practical ampli-
cation of this “l’otometor.” as tho
measurcr is called. But he said that
it might in future be possible to use ‘

question, with an apology and Judge
Cavcrly ordered it. stricken out.
"He asked a question and saw the
answer was going to hurt him," Mr.
Crowe said in reference to Darrow.
Dr. Patrick linslmkcn.
The State's first alicnist Dr. Hugh
T. Patrick of Chicago, having assert-
ed his belief that Nathan F. Leopold.
.lr., and Richard Loeb were sane
when they kidnaped and killed Rob-
ert Franks, was on the witness stand
lor further cross-examination when
the hearing to fix punishment or the
two youths was resumed for the
‘ twenty-first day before Judge Cav-
crly.
' Benjamin Bachrach of the defense
counsel resumed questioning Dr. Pat
rick about his examination of Leo-
pold in the office of Robert E.
Crowc, State’s attorney. The question
concerned chiefly the subject or the
"psychology of birds." which ‘Dr.
Patrick said had been discussed.
, "There was. some conversation
about the psychology at man. of
animals .and of human behavior. and
the question or where instinct cepsed
and reason begun and how each
was controued.” said the doctor. "I
don't think there was any particu-
lar subject outfide that range. He
selected the subjects.
"This sort. of conversation. of
course," he went on, "would not
.throw considerable light on the men-
tal processes. But. it was exceeding-
ly well adapted to bring out certain
things. It was well adapted to ascer-
taining his mental concentration. his
ability to hold a. conversation in the
presence of other people. It was on
excellent opportunity to see how log-
ical his mind was, an opportunity to
learn to a considerable degree his
use of language and memory.
“Leopold did not seem at all ex-
cited and was quite cool and collect-
ed." said Dr. Patrick.
“When Mr. Crows took charge of
the proceedings. was there anything
else talked about. except on the
subjects you have heretofore in-
dicated?" asked Mr. Bachrach.
"I could not really tell. I took no
notes at the time. except possibly
one or two things. but I jottcd them
down afterwards." ma the doctor.
Reading from his notes, Dr. Pa.-
trick continued:
“Leopold was responsive, al-
though very inaccessible. Emotion—
ally normal in discussion. Seemed
quite susceptible to flattery.”
"Did you ever in your life make
an examinations: to a. mental con-
dition under such conditions?" ask-
ed Mr. Bachmcm. »
“I think not." replied Dr. Patrick.

again?" almost gasped the doctor.
“Yes. as minutely as you can."
urged Mr. Bachrach.
Dr. Patrick again told the story
of the kidnapping and killing of
Bobby Franks.
Progressing to the notes or the
conversations he had with the
slayer-s, Dr. Patrick rend:
"Leopold made a stntement that.
Mr. Crows ind told him he could
tell the whole story or the crime
without any reservations and that
Mr. Crowe would protect him and
take cure of him. Mr. Crows
denied that he had made any such
statement."
Other notes the
were:

You can easily clear your home of flies and mosquitoes. You can also sit out of
doors—on porches or in automobiles or motor boats or canoes by using a harmless
and easily operated spray gun. Many ladies now spray their stockings before sit—

spray gun is now frequently carried in automobiles and by beach parties as well as.
on porches and indoors. '3
