With two vacancies to bs filled In the
councllmanlc representation from the Plrst
ward there Is n promising opening for the
aspirants for official honors who drew sta-
at-hoino checks In the recent election. And
that they arc losing no time In getting Into
line Is a natural consequence. Although
the race Is but a day or two old , there nro
half a dozen candidates In the field , and
every day adds to the number.
When the only vacancy In sight was that
which was expected to follow the resigna
tion of Judge Gordon , there WAV but llttlo
open contest for the plac ? . It was the gen
eral Impression that Ike Unseal ! had his
fences plugged up air tight , And that It
would bo useless for any other man to enter
the tacc. Hut since the death of Council
man Dullols there has been a decided boom
In the councllmanlc mnrkn. Hero Is a
softer thing by several degrees than taking
one's chances and spending money In the
primaries and nt the election. Although
an appointed councilman cm only hold the
ofllco until the next general election , the
candidates llgurc that an election for an
other term will follow ns a natural consequence
quence , and look upon the appointment a ?
good for a three years' term , atway. )
It Is also noticeable that one or two ot
the men who are mentioned as Dullols1
successor are men who would not ordinarily
bo candidates for the council. They would
not consent ta allow themselves to be
dragged through a campaign on n party
ticket , but would be willing to accept the.
olllco I'lnce there Is an opportunity to get It
without expelIcnclng tli3 attendant miseries
of groveling In ward politics.
It goes without saying that ttrnet Stuht
Is a candidate for the place. Sttihl has been
n candidate for pretty nearly everthing that
was In sight for ) cars past , and ho Is going
for this as the chance of his life. Pete
Hack U < laying wires In the Interests of his
hi other , A M Hack , Pete Is barred out
himself b ) clmiter limitation , but ho Is
not willing to let the counc'lminlc ' seat go
out of the family. Frank Dandhauer was
the competitor of DuBols In the primaries
and his friends are pushing him for the
vacancy , with some prospects of success II.
12. Patrick , a toutlislder who has not been
n cimlldatc for the olllce , Is another mm
who Is making an open race for the pos'tlon.
The business men hava a candidate In the
person of Joseph Harkci , who Is said to
be willing to accept the honor.
In connection with this mibjcct there Is a
very Interesting story current which may be
n pointer to several people. It la relited that
one ot the local'Vlervish leaders who put In
about three months hustling for Hroatch
during the ' 'recpht campaign made up his
m'nd ' that he Would like to get back Into the
council. He figured that that ought to be
easy If Droatch's ante-election promises
amounted to1 Anything , so ho hunted up the
prospective'mdyor and spoke of his ambi
tion. He approached the next maor with
*
all the confidence In the world , but when he
made k.nowii hlsj business he was surprised
to receive what'Glaus Hubbard would call
the "frozen * faca. " Broatch opined that he
cculd not do anything for him and changed
the subject. The aspirant refused to be so
easily dlsp6"56'd of , however , and when he
demanded an explanation Broatch caustically

Hint.
Mr. Silas AVoodmanido Is a remnrkabl }
iBseil rurallst. v\lth knotty joints nnd n
vvcatlior-bcnl n visage , who tills a Inrd farm
at Preston City hamlet , In the hard-shell ,
democratic town of Preston , near Norwich ,
Conn , writes a correspondent ot the Now
York Sun. Ho never had ridden on a rail
road trnln befor ? , but alwajs had walked It ,
or journcjed aleut the country by team. Hu
toltl lila folks , however , that he Kiies'ed he'd
chance It this time and see what the thlncs
vvcro like , anyhow.
Ho wanted to make nlslt to some rela
tions at Harrison's , n cluster of farm houses ,
n Kiocery and postolllce combined , and sev
eral pairs of bars In the lonesome pasture
lantl about the dark , wooded mount of Mam-
acoke , two ml Ira north ot this city. So ho
bought a ticket for that place and took the
first train that cime along at the Norwich
statlo'i. Unwlttlnglj he had boarded nn e\-
prosu that palls through Harrison's at n forty-
mllo-.ui-liour gait ; but Silas vvas too much
concerned with the Jumping sceneiy and
gallivanting telegraph pales along the track
to ask any iiiic-stlntis about the train or Its
ultimate or Intermediate goals He just clung
to the car beat and carpet bag as the train
ripped on. Neither was he much surprised
when , snorting and roar In 4 , the train whooped
Into Harrison's , cleft It In twain In a jiffy
and sped out of the ixmthcrn end of It like
all possessed. All that he rcall/cd distinctly
vvas the fact that It vvas now high time to
alight. Unaccomtomcd to the habits of ex
press trains , he Jumped to the conclusion that
It vvas his day for jumping and that It Is the
rule aboard ' xpress trains for passengers ? to
get off on the fly. He acted on the conviction
at once. Gathering up his carpet big ho
made a rush to the car platform , where an
astonished brakeman was screwing a wheel
to the flying track , and , without a word ,
plunged str.ilght out Into the cpcn. Air.
Woodmanse ? Is not well up on Inertia , Initial
velocity and such things , and he had no Idea
how much latent momentum there vvas bottled
up In hlln. The momentum vvas there , all
the same , end the horrified train hand ob
served him fblng along , nearly flush with
him un the platform for a while , but In time
Silas came down.
He hit hard the sandy soil of old Mama-
coke plain , valho and all , anil raised such
, i rumpus as might bo expected from a 10-
Inch solid shot. The brakeman svveirs that
Silas revolved twice In the ulr and scvui
times after coming down. At any rate. It
Is certain that ho struck on his head , one
shoulder , and both feet Just about simul
taneously , his grab bag , Silas still clutchIng -
Ing It , whbzlng around and marking spoke-
lct'3 ' wheels In the air. Then he went on ,
end over end. In stlck-of-cord-wooil fashion ,
and came down again with a thud on both
feet , facing south. He hurriedly reversed
hin self with acrobatic dexUrt ! > , flnally sat
down on his back , and In that more sen
sible posture fckated more than two rods
over sand and scanty herbage Into a clump
of huckleberry busliei'
Meanwhile the train hand who had grasp ° d
the Intent of Silas's demonstration too tard
ily to grapple with him , sent a clamorous
slgral to the engineer of the train to hold
up , but the express had drawn away rapidly ,
and vvas just rounding a bend of the track
vheii the brakeman , gating backward feni-
fully , saw Silas , then about hull ilown on
the northern horizon , right himself on hit )
feet. The hrakeman noticed that Silas hnd
forced his head through his hat , that his
coat , slltted up th ? back , was draped about
his head , and that one trouaer's leg had
been shoved up about Silas's thigh. Fur
thermore , he remarked that the old man
seemed to b chewing Fand. Silas still had
his tarpot bag , anil that , too , appeared to
be loaded with sand
As was shown later , however , Silas Wooil-
mansee was all tight , and sound na a rock.
Silas ait down a moment and took b'cath
Ho removed his mussed collar from h's'rlght '
bootl'g. and put It on , poured most of the
sand out of Ills valise , uhook himself , and
set oft 'cross lots to the door of his relatives
"Waal , " ho lomarked afterward , ' "taint EO

don. As 'tly , I didn't losa mor'n half a mll
en account & ' thet slide , I reckon"
On hla way through the paitureo It oc
curred to Mr. Woodmanseo eventually that ,
possiuiy , tna express mignt nave been guilty
of an offense , no more heinous , perhaps , than
a. breach of etiquette , In dumping him at the
foot of Mnmacoke not that he was "rani
mud , not nt all ; " but ho "actllly was pre
vailed. " Later , In the home of his relative. . ' ,
ho found partis-ins v.ho helped him nurse his
grosvlng tesentment nnd even advised him to
"hov the law on the express ) ; " but It Is not
prcbjblo that Mr. Woodmnnsea will Institute
n cult for damages against the New London
Northern inllroad. The relatives , In fact ,
appear to ba more excited over tha eplpodf
than Is Sllao himself. When Silas arrived at
their home the woman of the house throw up
her hands In astonlsl ment , and exclaimed :
"What , In tlmt , Sllao , hev ye ben dewln'
with yerself ? Was It the down train that
rede over ye ? "
Silas rarely speaks hastily , He strode Into
the housa , placed his precious vallra careful ! }
In a corner of ths- room , and remarked con-
cluolvely ;
"Gol darn the peaky thing ! " meaning rail-
roaJ trains In general "I've no furder use
fur ther go ) darn things ! "
Mi. Wcodmauseo In 70 yeara eld ; neverthe
less , four Jioura later , having csmpleted lile
vlB't nt Hanlson's , ho bade his friends good-

To Darwin Is due not the dl covory ot
the dispersion of feeds by birds , but the
particular attention which he directed to It.
There are so many things In nature which
occur In the simplest manner , as Darwin Is
always emlenvoilng to shous. . Though
there Is much In nntui.il history which la
still complex , sijs the Now York Times ,
s3iuo of the solutions of former vexed prob-
Inn- * astonish us when wo du not go too tar
out of the way to dlsco\er the teasous
Darwin examined the foot of a water fowl.
Ho scraptd off the caked mud , 01 dirt , and
he then put the dirt In a garden pot , with
all precautions , so that nothing els ? could
b ? present , lie hud Ju ? t sit and three-quarter
ounces of mud , and lo' ' 517 plants germinated
That e\porliu'iit , n crucial one , showed con
clusively how there was dispersion of species
by means ot fruits ami weds. It was the
water fowl which was ths transporting
medium. Hut It Is not alone by means of a
bird wading In the toft 007.0 of a pond and
vvlt'glng Its way to another pond , with Its
f et holding the seeds of water plant * , that
dlrperslon takes place. il'td ' may eat reeds
anil these seeds may b taken undigested
from their crop , or voided , with the germs
still alive , ami propagation of species be
again carrlcvl on. Man ) } em ago a wild
goosi was killed at the mouth of the St
Lawience , ami from Its distended crop a
few grain ? of a pecullai-looklng seed were
taken. In a haphazard > some of thes >
bceds were planted , and a very r < maikable
spEc'cs ' of wheat was giown.
In the second part ot a comprehensive volume -
umo having for tltlo "Tho Natural Hlstor ) of
1'lints , " translitul fiom the German of
Anton Kerncron Mnrllaun , the celebrated
professor of botany In this University of Vi
enna , the author demotes several chapteis to
this most Interesting subject , the dispersing
of Bpnclos by thti wind , by the water and b >
means of anltmls. It may bo remembered
t'ow hnpplly Mr. Hamilton Gibson has treated
this matter , principally In rcgiril to our own

Strangcli enough , there are some of the
llchen'i which call upon the watci for their
better dispersion and even nsK the help of
the wind. What Is called Lecanorn esculcnta
makes this double call. It Is a plant growing
on the steppes , and some of the species are
found In the Sahara and the deserts of
Algeria , where there Is hardly any
rain. It grows on the stones , having the
greatest liking for limestone. When ripe
It has a yellowish gray crust , and when the
crust Is broken tha Inside looks farlm-
ceous. The ripened emits break off and
then a portion rolls on Itself. These loose
pieces are then casllv blown about by the
wind. AH they arc not heavy , iinny of
them are carried away Into the air liv a
heavy blast of wind. Then they lodge ,
when the wind , ceases , on the stones. The
rain comes after the dry season , moves
them many miles further , so that , left on
the stones , they may grow again. As often
as not the manna lichen Is found service
able us food for man , and this Is specially
the cise , says Prof , von Mnrllnun , "In the
steppe region and the high lands of South
west Asia , where the manna lichen Is ui'd
as a substitute for corn In years of famlno. "
That farinaceous part Is taken and made
Into bread. Manna then no longer falls
from heaven. It was formerly believed that
the biblical manna sent to the Israelites
in their Journey through the Holy Land
was the sap of a , tamarisk , but on a sweet ,
Insipid substance , with a very slight pro
portion of starchy matter In It , the Jews
would have starved. As we know , the
manna of the apothecary Is slightly purga
tive. Wo have then every reason to sup
pose that It WAS this lichen which fur
nlsihed food to the wandering Israelites.
Nothing can be more beautiful than the
adjustment of the spores of the horsetail
( Equlsetum telmateja ) to Its requirements.
According to circumstances , when It Is
ready to propagnte Its kind , It adapts
two forms , or shows powers of adapta
tion. As the plant ripens , the spores
take on tivo at mi , which are f tinned
something llko a crois. Then the wind
catches these wings of the spore and cairlcs
It off. Say the fporo falls In a dry place
It would wither and dry there. It does not
want to become a fixture and steille. It I ?
Intent on the preservation of Its life , It
awaits another puff of the wind. It Is
picked up and away It calls In tha air. Out
the next time It falls It Is on moist ground
At once the new condition of moisture null ! '
It. The four windmill sails absorb the moist
ure and at ones begin to cell themselves up
The aerial possibility Is no longer required
It becomes Immovable , la rooted to the soil ,
and In time the spore grows , and so there arc
new horsetails.
There la a pretty nuthod of movement , In
which gravity Is not only used , but the pat
ent plant absolutely lowers down a young
one attaching It by a icpe or filament and
letting It go at the right time. The dstaih-
ment and distribution of the sprout and off-
shootu of nnny species of the hous > leek
( sempcrvlvum ) are of this marvelous charac
ter.

Offshcoto ef some plants seem to look di
rectly to such assistance no animals can
give. They are th ? Mamlllarlas ot Mexico
They drop their offshoots and have them
covered with brlstlea and barbs. Any ani
mal , Have a horse or an ox , Is certain to
get one of the burrs In his paws. As It la a
most Inconvenient appendage , after the ani
mal has llrnped on a HUie ways ho at one-
proceeds to g t rid of the burr. That Is the
opportunity of the inamlllarlaj. It has ( .ought

Ulrds do not alone lend themselves as cai-

The conclusion which the observer arrives
nt , when examining the seeds of plants , Is
thnt the action of nature Is a double one.
First , she does all she can to protect the
seeds , nnd , secondly , constructs them so that
