PAGE FOUR 'ANCESTOR OF GARDEN GREENS Jtt Cabbage a Weed That Growa Wild Near Dover and Some- . ft time la Eaten. j If you are walking on tlie chalk fcllffs near Dover you may notice a tail weed with pale yellow (lowers Which begins to blooin In Mny and con tinues to do so right through the suni ner. It grows about two feet high and has leaves of a deep green tinged With yellow and purple. This homely looking plant Is the ea cabbage, and is actually the ances tor of all our garden greens, cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli and the various kales. It Is, or was, very common on the Dover cliffs and Is sometimes col lected and the leaves stripped olf and tolled. Many of the vegetables we cultivate In our gardens come from the coast, where their ancestors still grow wild, ays London Tit-Hits. The sea licet grows In many places on the shore, and lias green blossoms and thick, wuvy leaves. Hut the thick, red, fleshy root lias been obtained only by centuries of cultivation. 1 Sea kale is purely a maritime plant, lend this is proved by the fact (hat a little salt not too much is an excel lent fertilizer for the cultivated va riety. j Celery grows wild on marshy ground px the shores of salt-water estuaries nd asparagus Is a native of similar land. Hoth these, when grown In gar dens, can he stimulated with a little salt. ! TThe sea pea is not a common plant, Jiut may be found In places growing in sunny banks a little above hlgh Jlde mark. It has butterfly shaped fclooms and Its pods contain pons which, If small, are quite pleasant to the taste. HERE'S USEFUL GAS LIGHTER Rod Tipped with Iron Alloy That Emits Sparks When It Is Rubbed. ( An eminent scientist discovered eome years ago that u certain iron alloy on being lightly rubbed with a Jlle, would emit intensive sparks that Instantly Ignite gas. The practical application of this discovery consists of a metal rod hold lug on Its top a little piece of this silloy. On the lower end of the rod la a button which on being pressed, rubs the alloy against a rough sur face, and the spurk Is emitted. Up right and inverted lumps may thus be Ignited.

BRIEF INFORMATION The first meerschaum pipe was made 200 years ago by a Hungarian shoemaker, who was a clever wood carver. Three women In the United States are Insured for more than $1,000,000 each. A new wood for the manufacture of baseball bats is being imported from Cuba. Mrs. Theodore Parker of Tncoma became n grandmother when she was thlrt.v-tlvp years old. lighter. The alloy Is fastened on the end of the lower leg which, on being pressed upward, rubs against a ver tical roughened surface. In releasing the hand pressure the lower leg jumps back to its original position by means of the springlike action of the rod, thus causing the ulloy to spark vio lently. It is even possible to light gas lamps ut the top of masts, merely by turning the cock, a slight gas pres sure starting a mechanism to light It. The alloy itself is practically inde structible and very cheap Dignity Respected. Among the less familiar stories about Charles M.
