Animals' Ability to Learn.
Animals which have never met with
an electric current be<owe sensitive
to it in a marked decree, thereby dfs
owing the theory that Animals pos
seas only traits that are due to natural
selection by a long process of the "sur-
vival of the fittest." This sensitive-
ness is called "palvotropism" and it

Tim# Whan She Should Bo Phllo-
aophical and Prepared for Wise
Old Aga.
There are people today asking with
all appearance of sincerity what &
woman of fifty or more can do, 'l'helr
confining w ork in the home, say these
i bservers, is done. A common sugges.
tion Is that they be utilised in poli-
tics. This suggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do alter fifty
years of life in a business as many
sided and demanding as that of a
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in a business as com-
plicated and uncertain aa politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
is ended at fifty or sixty is fantastic
in the extreme. It only ends there if
she has been blind to the meaning of
her own experiences; if she has never
gone below the surface of her task—
never seen in it anything but physical
duties; has sensed none of its inti-
mate relations to the community, none
of its obligations toward those who
have left her, none of those toward
the oncoming generations. If it ends
there she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous Importance to all
those who belong in her circle or who
touch it of what she makes of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman of fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to a point of
sound philosophy and serenity which
is of the utmost value in the mental
and spiritual development of the
group to which she belongs. Life at
every one of its seven stages has its
peculiar harrowing experiences—hope
mingles witlj uncertainty in youth;
fear and struggle characterize early
manhood; disillusionment, the ques-
tion whether it is worth while, fill the
years from forty to fifty, but resolute
grappling with each period brings one
out almost inevitably into a fine
serene certainty, which cannot but
have Its effect on tLose w ho are young-
er. Ripe old age—cheerful, useful,
find understanding—is one of the
finest influences in the world. We
hang Rembrandt's or Whistler's pic-
ture of his mother on our walls that
we may feel its quieting hand, the
sense of peace and achievement which
the picture carries. We have no bet-
ter illustration of the meaning of old
age.—American Magazine.
TRIUMPH OF GERMAN CHEMIST
Dr. Von Bolton Has Succeeded In Ma-
king Diamonds From Illuminating
Gas.
Dr. W. Von Bolton has been trying
to grow diamonds. At a recent con-
gress of the German Bunsen society
he described the decomposition of il-
luminating gas under the action of so-
dium amalgam, which precipitated the
carbon in the form of black coal and,
it seemed, of diamonds, but these were
in too small quantity to permit of
analysis. Dr. Bolton determined to
obtain a greater quantity by making
diamonds grow on some mother sub-
Btance.
The Scientific American says he
placed 50 grams of 14 per cent, sodi-
um amalgam in a long testing tube,
and coated the upper layer with a di-
luted water-glass solution, over which
he spread amorphous diamond pow-
der. The tube was kept at a temper-
ature of 100 degrees centigrade in a
water bath, after which a slow cur-
rent of moistened illuminating gas
was introduced. The amalgam was
allowed to give oft its mercury vapor
for one month, when very little black
.carbon had been separated, but on
the layer covered with diamond pow-
der many particles of high brilliancy
were found.
The contents of the tube were boiled
in a platinum crucible with a mixture
of fluoric and sulphuric acids. The
microscope revealed that the amor-J
phoug- powder had been converted into
brilliant crystals, true diamonds, still
too small, however, to allow of analy-
sis.
New Use of the Banana.
'There are now in Jamaica six fac-
tories manufacturing banana figs,
chips, meal and flour," said James
McC. Harris of Boston, who recently
returned from Jamaica. "During the
seasons at which the fruit Is cheapest
all of these plants are run at their
maximum capacity. The methods of
drying the fruit are different in dif-
ferent plants, though all resort, I be-
lieve, to a hot air process. It takes
about 400 to 500 pounds of the fruit
to manufacture 100 pounds of meal.
"The banana fig is aa palatable as
the natural fig and resembles it close-
ly in color. It, has replaced the nat-
ural fig In many markets in which It
has been Introduced. The chips ara
sold primarily for breakfast foods,
being made into a porridge. Several
of the manufacturers, who deal in the
European markets, ship the chips to
their mills in those European cities
and have it ground into meal there.
Grist mills, the same kind used for
manufacturing meal from corn, are
used."
