HOW THE FLOWERS GET
THEIR VARIOUS COLORS
Many students have doubtless ob
served that one of the commonest
flower colors Is a sort of purplish pink
that often just misses becoming a
distinct rose or a decided red; As a
matter of fact, good reds anti pinks
are comparatively rare in any flora,
and the reason for this is coming to
be well understood.
The normal color of the pigment
v hieh produces both red and blue
flowers is this same purplish pink.
When the sap of the plant is alkaline
this purplish pink turns blue, and
when it is acid the fllowers become
pink or red. When this is realized
several other peculiarities of flower
colo r become intelligible. For in
stance, there are many blue flowers,
such as he lungwort, which are pink
in the bud. As the flowers open and
oxidation processes reduce the acidity !
of the cell sap, the pink of necessity
become blue. This also explains why
so many blue flowers have pink count- j
erparts, or the reverse.
Let a strain with a tendency to
acid cell sap appear in a race of blue
flowers and its blossoms are likely to
become pink or red. The rose-colored
variety of the common New England
aster may be explained in this way.1
There are also many white flowers
that are pink either at the beginning
or end of their period of bloom. Ap
ple blossoms and the flowers of the
white trillium and cotton will come
to mind in this connection.
We do not, however, have to depend
upon Instances like these. Almost any
pink or blue plant juice may be used |
to demonstrate the facts. Any one
who will boil the color from a purple
cabbage may turn the juice blue by
the addition of a few drops of am
monia or a little baking soda, and re
store the original pink color by ad
ding a few drops of vinegar or other
acid. Beet juice and most of the fruit
juices act in the same way, and it is
therefore not surprising to find that
the familiar litmus paper so common
ly used in testing for acids and alkalis
is made by dipping strips oi paper in
the juice of certain lichens.
Many pink flowers may be turned
blue 'by exposing them to the fumes
of ammonia for a few minutes, and
blue flowers become pink when ex
posed to acids. In making tliese ex
periments, however, one is often as
tonished to find the color change pro
duced in neither pink nor blue, but
green—a fact which opens up other
avenues of speculation, but in all of
which we discover how cleverly na
ure produces a variey of effects with
almost identical materials.

GERMAN WOMEN POLICE.

“the watch on the Spree,” has been
organized for night duty. The major
ity of the women in the corps belong
to the working classes or gymnasium
instructors. All are of powerful build
and are physically able to cope with
almost any lawbreaker. The women
have designed their own uniforms.
Each member is accompanied by a
dog when on duty. They work in two
shifts, one from 6 at night to mid
night and the other from midnight to
6 in the morning.

INVENTS AN ENGINE I
THAT RUNS ITSELF
An engine that runp itself on its
own power, developing energy to op
erate the most powerful machinery
is the invention of T. F. Adams, of
Joplin, Mo. Tlie engine has been
thoroughly tpsted and proved a suc
cess in every way. Mr. Adams has al
ready had many yffers—one from
eastern capitalists for $50,000 for all
rights to the invention.
Adams is an old railroad engineer
and has been working for five years
on his self-operating engine. The en
gine is run on compressed air, making
ltd own pressure as It runs. The ex
haust from the cylinders returns thru
a series of eight-port automatic valves
to a large steel pressure tank. This
tank is a double affair, there being a
smaller tank within the larger. An
air space of six inches Intervenes be
tween the two tanks. Into the air
space the exhaust from the cylinders
is forced, the action being such that
the nitrogen gases are separated from
the oxygen, and forming a lighter gas
rises to the top of the tank, at the ,
same time creating a pressure which
forces the fresh air down thru the
inner tank and thence back into the
engine, which is operated by this pres
sure.

INVENTS VIBRO-VIOLIN.
A violin with six strings—two in
side—has been invented and patented
by J. Henry Rice of Dallas, Texas, an
amateur violinist. He calls the in
vention he “vibro-violin.” The ad
litional strings are "E” and "G,” which
are stretched over a tone bar in the
sounding box. They may be tuned
in tone with the outer strings by the
manipulation of tension pegs in the
heel of the instrument.
“If a certain amount of music Is
made by four strings on a violin, why
should not that music be increased in
carrying power and improved in melo
dy by two extra strings?” asked Rice.
The theory involved in this question
caused him to invent the vibro-violin.
He has made a number of the instru
ments and said the tone is improved
greatly by the extra strings, probably
50 per cent.
