No Two Urdu Nor Kven 1 wo Lrnrrs l.loi-tlr A Ike. It Is said that In individual trees scarcely two leaves can be found ex actly alike. What l true of leaves Is true of seeds, and. Indeed, of every part of a tree. It Is also true of the - :n.r mm . . -. r"b it.- fc'.H. COI.l) AS U K. behavior of trees during Ihelr life ca reer. In ac ri:s e-pe. I il y one may ti.de a remarkable difference In their beha vior. Solne species of acorn will pre serve tlie r vital power without much ilillicully for a couple of years, while others can rarely be found with life after tl few in m t ' s. Some when put Into the earth will remain months be fore sprouting, while others will sprout before they are fairly or of their cups on the trees. The acorns of the live ink of the Sou t li often sprout before lliey fall. Tlie proccs of germinating Is among tlie most remarkable of all American trees. The root pus1 -s out from the acorn tr a distance of many Inches be fore it eiileis the ground, the root then goes Inlo the earth while lie bud or plumule ascends lo form tlie incipient tree trunk. Tlie young tree or the live oak will frequently be distance of six Inches from the acorn. In this respect the behavior of tills species of o.ik cor responds nearly with what Is almost universal In inoiiocolylcdoiious seeds. Aiiotlcr early sprouter Is the com mon white oak. These have not been known lo sprout on the lice. Put they scarcely reach the wound before the little ra.licile prepares to enter the earth. It does not wait to get to the surface of the earth before doing llils. Oil shelves or boxes where there Is some number of them together the w hole will be a mass of roots before a few weeks afler gathering. On the other li.i nd the nut of the burr oak will remain a long time before showing any disposition to sprout. It Is these vary ing characteristics which make rules T.r the transporta'l n of seeds difficult, each kind has to h. -e a method of lls own. So far ns iho two onks ure con cerned.

There are thousands of men who gain i their livelihood by their wits in this business. The tricks of the TeuuesM-o horse traders nre legion, and unless n I man Is accustomed to hnr-.es it is folly I for him to depend iiHin his ow n know j. edge In dealing Willi tlie tri, ksters iti 1 the horse markets of the Stale. When u Tennessee horse trader w ants to make a true-pulling horse ..-ilk. so he can purchase him at a low price, lie mixes caiiiharldes and corrosive suPll unite, and bribes the stable Imy to bat ho the horse's shoulder w til Ihe mix ture, tine of the greatest fraud-, is lo make a good horse appear lame. The professional trader takes a single hair from the tall, puts It through the eye of a needle, lifts the front leg. and presses the skill bet won the outer ami ml. I, lie tendons. Then he shoves (he needle through, cuts off the hair at each end and Ids the foot down. The horse goes lame within twenty minutes. When he desires to make n horse siand by his food aud not eat It, he greases the front (colli and tlie roof of the mouth with beef tallow, and the horse will not eat until its mouth is washed out. A horse Is made to appear badly foundered by tlie fastening of a tine w ire tightly around Its fetlock, between the foot and heel. The wire is never left on over nine hours, or the horse would become permanently lame. Many men buy nice looking nnlnials. but by the time they get the horses home tl Hit these to ho badly allllcied with the heaves. The trader has sim ply lo fore,, half a pound of small shot Into a hmsc's sloinaeli to disguise the heaves. A small quantity of moiled butter poured into the ear of a horse will make the owner think the horse has (he glanders. When n horse goes dead lame III one shoulder Ihe defect Is always disguised by a sin. liar lameness in the other shoulder. This Is done by taking off the shoe and inserting a Ih'iiu between It and the foot. A lame hoise Is nerved lo appear at Its host by a small incision about half way from the knee to the Joint on the outside of the log. At Ihe back part of the shiuboiic Is a small while tendon w hich Is cut off aud the external wound Is closed with u silich. The horse will then walk on the hardest pavement and not limp. White horses are benull II cd with black spots often by Ihe ap plication of powdered lime ii ml litharge lied together. When 11 professional trainer llnds a man who wauls a hand some horse he often produces a star In lis forehead by spreading warm pitch on a piece of coarse towel of Just the size of the star and applying It to the part shaved. The pitch Is left on ror three days, and thou Is washed away with elixir of vitroil mill! the wound is well. The hair that grows out Is w hile. An (dil horse Is made to appear young by filing dow li the teeth ami removing the dark markings with a hot Iron. The depressions over Its eyes are removed by puncturing tlie skin over the cavi ties and tilling them with air from tho mouth, forced lu through a tube. New York Sun. What Ills Uiml Intentions lost.

Every body hoped to see Johnny get his deserts, and a hush of expectancy fell on that car.

Hull bearings and scientific gear are creating a revolution lu motors of all sorts. A new and promising Invention Is Iho liydrocyclc, which Is built on the rataiuaraii principle, with cylinders o galvanized steel tilled with air. A slight rrnniowork connects these two cylinders, and a bicycle enr Is attach ed which drives light pndd'o wheels of eight blades. The sprocket w heel Is set between the pedals In the same way ns the sprocket-wheel nnd chain of the bicycle. The steering gear consists of two small steel rudders, operated by rudder-chnlns connected with the steering gear, somewhat after the fash ion of tlie ordinary bicycle. The hyilroeyclo Is capahlo nf a speed of teu miles an hour without bard work, and as the craft Is so built that It can neither sink nor upset, the pleas, ure and safety of It nre at once nppnr- out. The cylluders ure made with com partments so in-ranged that the frac ture of one will not affect the other. The machine sits lightly ou the water. ran be turned lu almost lu own length. nnd, like the ordinary catamaran, will live lu II sen which would upset a bout of a much Inrger size. It draws but a few Inches of water, Is light, tunti- ngenble nnd novel, a combination of iuulltles that makes It extremely at tractive to those who nro fond of water ports. Those already built will curry five or six hundred pounds, aud are n Imui t ten root lu length of cylinder. Only a few have been built, but the experiments already made nit suffi cient tu satisfy experts thnt the hydro cycle Is one of tliu coining fads, and promises to furnish a great deal of pleusurnble ninuseiueut.
