I fancy you will rove no more at least not soon. Is it not so?" RECORD OF EARLY BOOKS. First English Book Vil Not Printed la Kagland, The first book printed in the Eng lish language wag not printed in Eng land. William Caxton, the English mer cer, carried on business in Bruges. In 1469, he began to translate into English the "Recueil des Hlstolres de Troye,' and to supply the great demand for copies of tbe book he set himself to learn the art of printing. Tbe "Re cueil," tbe first printed English book, probably appeared in .1474, and may have been printed either at Cologne or in Bruges. In 1475 Caxton printed an other work translated from the French. Its title was "Tbe Game and the Playe of the Cheese." This was the second printed English book. Caxton left Bruges in 1476 and set up his press in Westminster, England. Such Is one ac count but other authorities hold that the book on chess was printed at West minster and was the first book printed In England. The Encyclopaedia Brit an n lea says: "At what date Caxton brought his press to England and set it up at Westminster is quite uncertain. It was probably between 1471 and 1477; 1474 ia tbe date of tbe Game and Playe of Cbesse; but tbe tradition that this work was printed in England may not correct" However that may be, It was the second book printed In tbe English language. Montreal Herald and Star. A Remarkable Story. An article in La Science pour Tout, Informs us that a Chilian botanist has discovered a plant that coughs when the slightest particle of dust alights on the surface of one of Its leaves. Strange as this may seem, It Is not at all, for upon sufficient provocation it appears tbe leaf of this same plant turns red and spasmodic tremors pass over it In suceaslon, while It gives out a sound precisely like sneezing. Tbe so-called respiration of plants Is well known to botanists, but when it comes to coughing, blushing and sneezing It would seem that a special examination should be made both of the plant and the botanist reporting the phenomena.
