FOR DOCTORING OF PLANTS
Engllih Institution of Instruction Is
Declared to Be Easily the Best
In the World '
London possesses the best Institu-
tion for the Instruction of "doctors of
plants” that exists anywhere For
years botany suffered from a too
academic treatment not being
sufficiently In touch with the
practical needs of man but the
labors of the London institution
as well as those of a similar
nature elsew'here bid fair to be of
much benefit to the world In general
The Institution referred to Is the
botanical department of the Imperial
College of Science In South Kensing-
ton where vegetable physiology and
pathology are studied in the most ap-
proved style This department Is
training a new race of “plant doctors”
—young men who will be is well ac-
quainted with plant disease as with
the character and constitution of
plants
The tendency now Is more and more
to study advanced science from the
point of view of its application to In-
dustry There is a great demand for
young men w ho are able to deal with
plant diseases and plant sanitation
This demand is largely In connection
with big tropical and colonial indus-
tries such as rubber sugar tobacco
cinchona and cotton growing It
should be borne in mind when con-
sidering the scope of the London in-
stitution that the sole value of a very
ilarge area of the British colonial pos-
sessions depends entirely on the value
of their vegetable products and that
'millions are lost every year through
preventable causes There Is ample
scope for such work In every country
There is constant trouble with crops
by reason of diseases many of which
ere at prerent only Imperfectly under-
stood The words “plant physiology"
as concerned with the new training
simply mean that the plants are re-
garded as “going concerns"
Lost Mustache While He Slept
Dr Charles Auer of Nyack was a
very angry man when he arrived home
minus his black mustache of which
lie was proud says a dispatch to the
New York Herald Hia loss was dis-
covered when he awoke about six
o'clock !it the camp conducted every
year by the boys of Grace Episcopal
church That Is part of his loss was
discovered this was that some of the
hoys had cut off one-half of bis mus-
tache In the night
Dr Auer Is employed at the Tar-
rytown hospital He visited the camp
with the Rev E L Reed curate of
Grace church and laughingly told the
campers of efforts to persuade him to
cut off his adornment
1 Some of the boys after midnight
crept Into the physician's bunk and
armed with scissors did the dark deed
while the physician slumbered
When Dr Auer discovered what
had happened he obtained a rowboat
and went to Haverstraw a half mile
above the camp where he sought a
' barber and had the job completed
(! No Comma There
’ Even so slight a mistake as the
misplacing of a comma brought sharp
disappointment to a German In a
Cleveland restaurant the other day
The German had come to Cleveland
by way of Paris and while In France
he had become accustomed to eating
horseflesh So when he took up the
menu card at a Superior avenue res-
taurant and read the Item —
“Pot roast — Horseradish Sauce" he
thought he recognized a favorite dish
He told the waiter in a voice heard
by everybody in the vicinity: "Bring
me once some ofT dot pot roast-horse
mit de radish sauce”
Not New to Him
"I met Andrew Lang in London”
said a literary agent of Chicago “I
met him at a luncheon at the Che-
shire Cheese He was very hard on
modern authors
"I spoke to Lang of Winston
Churchill Marie Corelli George
Moore Hall Caine and other famous
novelists but he just pished and
pshawed
“At last I got so angry that I gave
a sarcastic laugh and said to him:
" 'But perhaps Mr Lang you
haven’t read any of our modern fic-
tion ?’
‘“Oh yes’ said he ‘I read it all
40 years ago In Dumas’ ”
Had Paid for Them
"Please wrap up all my purchases”
said the grouchy customer
“Why I’ve done so" replied the gro-
cer “Beg pardon but you haven’t” re-
torted the grouchy customer
"What have 1 left undone up?”
“That thumb of yours you weighed
with the butter also the one you
weighed with the meat Wrap them

BT 20 VOTES
FINAL TABULATION OF OFFICIAL
RETURNS SHOW DRYS LOSE
COURT CONTEST IS LIKELY
Generally Believed That Repeal of
Prohibition Section of Constitu-
tion Will Be Fought In the
Courts — Other Newt
Augusta Maine — Complete official
returns from the special election at
which Maine voted on the question of
repeal of the constitutional prohibitory
amendment as canvassed by the gov-
ernor and council showed a majority
of twenty votes in favor of repeal
Various discrepancies were found in
the official returns as compared with
the tabulations compiled by the secre-
tary of state’s office The latter indi-
cated a majority for repeal of 136
The result of the special election
has been reversed several times and it
soon became evident that the official
count would be required finally to de-
termine the result of the vote For
Beveral days however it has been con-
ceded that the state has gone “wet’’
It is likly that the result will be con-
tested in the courts though no official
notice to that effect has been given It
has been rumored persistently that if
the vote were close an effort would be
made to show fraud In the case of
the contesting factions being drawn
Into a legal battle the matter likely
will be carried up to the United States
supreme court and the actual repeal
of the law delayed several months at
leasL
Some doubt still remains as to the
correctness of the returns and Gover-
nor Plaisted announced that city and
town clerks will be given twenty days
to check the results
The total vote of the state as
shown by the official figures tabulated
is as follows: For repeal 60487
against 60461 majority for repeal 26

face with a crisis equal in gravity to
that following the riots in Barcelona
In 1909 The agitation and the power
of the agitators on the masses have
Increased in proportion to the rigor
of the repressive measures under-
taken by the government
What at its origin apparently pure-
ly a labor movement has now develop-
ed into a revolutionary conflict a com-
mune having actually been proclaimed
at two townB near Valencia At these
places the authorities were driven out
of the districts
The affiliated trades unions have
decided to call a’ general strike
throughout the length and breadth of
Spain and the government abandon-
ing the tone of optimism heretofore
maintained decided upon the drastic
steps of "suspending the constitutional
guarantees'” throughout the country
It was explained however that in
so doing the government did not seek
to persecute the trades unions but it
was made clear that any attempts to
stir up a rebellion would be rigorously
dealt with All meetings have been
forbidden The military authorities
it is stated officially will not assume
control except in extreme cases
This followed reports of violence in
connection with the working men’s
strike which have been called in vari-
ous cities to further the government
