Starch in Leaves.
It is now proved, beyond a doubt,
that starch is formed in the leaves ol‘
plants by the action of chlorophyl,
the green coloring matter, and prob-
ably of light.
A simple experiment for showing
this has been devised by M. Deherain,
a French chemist, and it is based on,
the well-known fact that starch forms
abluc pigment with iodine. As the
starch which is made in the leaves by
day IS removed to the interior parts of
the plant during the night, the experi-
mentshould be made in the early
iiorning before sunrise.
A leaf on a growing plant. by prefer—
ence the Aristoloohta 55.23710, is plucell
between two sheets of black paper
Which are quite opaque and fixed
there by gum arable. The upper l'oil
should have letters or a figure cut in
it by way or a stencil, so that the
parts of the leaf thus uncovered may
be exposed to the daylight. After
several hours Of this exposure the leaf
is culled, the foils removed by warm
paternand the leaf bleached by steep-
Ins it in boiling alcohol, which takes
, away the chlorophyl. If now the leaf
be dlpped in tincture of iodine the
Starch formed in it will show itself by

The Home of Music Boxes.
Geneva, noted for its manufacture
of all kinds of ingenious toys, has for
one of its chief industries the making
of music boxes. An American, who
visited one of the factories where this
work is carried on, thus describes its
processes:
“The different parts are made by
men who are expert in those parts,
and they do nothing else year in and
year out. The music is marked on
the cylinder by a. man who has served
several years of apprenticeship. An-
other man inserts in the marked
places pegs which have been filed to a
uniform length. The comb or set of
teeth which strikes the pegs and
makes thesound is arranged by a
man who does nothing else. The
cylinder is then revolved to see that
every peg produces a proper tone.
The most delicate work of all is the
revising of each peg. It is done by
aworkman who has a good car for
music. He sees that each peg is in
its proper place and bent at the cor-
rectangle. When the instrument is
in its case an expert examines it to
see that the time is perfect and good.
The best workmen—those who mark
the cylinder and adjust the pegs-—
earn a dollar and eighty cents a day,
after serving an apprenticeship of ten
or twelve years. An ordinary work-
man earns a dollar a day.—-—Ram’s
Horn.
A “llmle Dienagerie on the Spot.
Mr. Bill Sowell, of Sylvester, Ga,
comes to the front with a big snake
story, says the Atlanta Constitution.
While the facts as narrated belong to
the suspicious snake variety, yet Mr.
Sowell says that they are none the less
true. , He says that while Mr. Serve
Jenkins was driving along the road,
he came upon a large rattlesnake and
killed it. It had eleven rattles and a
button. In passing the house of his
brother-in-law, near by, Mr. Jenkins
told him of what he had done, and the
former went down to look at the
snake. When he got there, however,
he found another large rattler near
the dead one, and while looking
around for a stick with which to anni-
hilate snake No. 2, a huge mocassin
crawled out of the grass and coiled up
in position.
It was an exciting time, but secur-
ing a. stout stick, the gentleman
cleaned up the reptile band in good
shape and left them all dead upon the
field.
The next day Mr. Jenkins’ son Staf-
ford, in driving along the same road,
discovered a half grown alligator on
the spot where the serpents had been
slain the day before. Stafford alighted,
and, constructed a lasso out of a piece
of rope that he had with him, threw it
over the ’gator’s head and captured
him.
A Creditor of the Queen.
An old lady, nicely dressed, walked
up to C nstable Downey, of the
Windsor Station, recently, and taking
him by the buttonhole said in a tense
whisper: “Is the queen here?”
“NO, madam,” said the constable,
“the queen is in England.”
“Well, I thought she was here,” re-
plied the old lady. “Do you know,
young man, that the queen owes me
money?”
",No, madam.”
“Well, she does, and that’s what
I’m here for. The queen and I went
to school together. I lent her money
when she had very little of it, poor
thing, and now I want her to pay me
back.”
The constable telephoned to the Gen-
tral Station and asked if they had .
any inquiries there for a missing
lady, says a Montreal paper. They
had, and a policeman was sent for,
who, pretending that he was bringing
her to the queen, restored her to her
friends.
The old lady was a little simple and
had wandered away from her friends,
who live in the West End.
