ARE YOUR FLOWERS MUSICAL? Munich Prof»i»»or Intimates Rose* Improve on Do*e of Quiet, Old-Fash-ioned Tune*. London—“ Give your flowers more music. Those lilies will mature rapidly on an hour or two of Beethoven Hoses Improve on a ‘dose' of quiet, oldfashioned turea." This might well be the advice of one amateur gardener to another in the future if a discovery made by Professor Hans Teitgen of Munich is taken seriously. Professor Teitgen states that flowers are sensitive to music and betray their individual natures by expand- ; ing their petals under the Influence ■ of certain melodies. In accordance . with this theory we may expect rosebuds to open and violets to raise their , heads to soft, fairy-like airs, while peonies would take on a deep hue under the fanfare of Wagnei*. On the other hand, flowers may be adversely affected by certain kinds of musk-—lilies, for instance, being jtated to close their petals under the . strains of a frivolous valse tune. An eminent London botanist says ;hat however fantastic Professor Teit- | yen's discovery might appear, there . , pas undoubtedly a good deal in It. "Two distinguished botanists. Ha-r- --! yerlandt and Wager, have demon-; stra-ted that plants have special structures, corresponding to eyes, which are sensitive to light," he said. "This >roves that plants are sensitive to waves of light—as, of course, we know in the opening and shutting |if certain flowers in the day and night. "Why, then, should it not follow as t reasonable proposition that plants i tre sensitive to sound waves? If they | have organs corresponding to eyes, why shouldn’t they possess somestruc- ! ture corresponding to ears? “The different waves of sound — :ake, for instance, a blast on a trombone and the shrill note of a piccolo—have separate lengths of sound wave, and it is possible that they may stimulate or retard the —nwth cf plants. "Wares of sound In ve. of course, a very c< Iderable < ton human beings; 1 < i delicate p’nht the effect is likely t. be far n o e potent." Hour.WORK GOOD FOR 30YS ■ Judge Declares That Washing Dishes i' and Sweeping Floors Would Win Respect for Mothers. I - , Kansas City, Mo. —Fathers and mothers should see that their boys ; have training in washing dishes, sweeping floors and even cooking, just ■ the same as the girls. Judge J. T. , Sims of the Wyandotte county juv- • e"iie court believes. He says this t l rnii.-ea the boys to know their mothers , b»ffer and care more for their homes.

Parent* should mix th® training with good wholesome fun for the boys and | not make the work a bugbear, but in- j ■lst that it be done. When ft boy helps his mother in those thing*. Judge Sims says, he cannot be wholly ; bad It la an asset In after life, too; not. perhaps, l.ccauae a man will bo called upon to do such work, but ft gives him a better understanding of his home life. Judge Sims expressed hfa belief to 60 boy wards of the court who had come to make their weekly reports. He had just paroled Arthur L. Smlt h . fifteen years old. with the injunction that be go home and assist his mothet with the housework. Perhaps because he caught the smile which the other boys greeted Smith after he had re cel-ved his parole Judge Sims favored them with the lecture. Smith had been aken to court by his father. W. L. Smith, a switchman. The father said he was unable to keep the boy home nights because he was at work then and the boy did not pay any attention to his mother. The lad promised to take the place of a girl at home. He. said he desired to learn to do those things, anyway.
