The D. calif ornica grows in the N. part of California, chiefly in the district around Mount Shasta. It is found in boggy places, on the slopes of mountains. It entraps in- sects, which are attracted to the curious pitcher or hood at the extremity of the tubular leaves; and, once inside, are pre- vented by the fine hairs which point downward from again returning. The larva of a small moth, Xanthoptem semi- crocea, preys on the plant, and that of a dipterous insect, Sarcophaga sarracenise, feeds on the dead insects which it in- closes. DARMSTADT (darm'stat) , a town in Germany; capital of the republic of Hesse, in a sandy plain, on the Darm, 15 miles S. of Frankfort. It consists of an old and a new town. The former, which is the business part of the town, is very poorly built; the houses are old, and the streets narrow and gloomy. The new town is laid out with great regularity, and has handsome squares and houses. Among the remarkable buildings are the old palace (with a library of 500,000 vol- umes and 4,000 MSS., a picture gallery, and a rich museum of natural history) , the Roman Catholic Church, and the Rat- haus or town-hall built in 1580. Darm- stadt before the World War had iron foundries, breweries, etc. Pop. about 90,000. DARNEL, the popular name for Lolium tenulentum, which some suppose to be the Infelix lolium of Vergil and the zizania or tares of Scripture. It was be- lieved by the ancients to be poisonous and narcotic. It is common in cornfields. It has culms one to two feet high, the spike being like that of Triticum repens, the wheat-grass or couch-grass. DARNLEY, HENRY STUART, LORD, son of the Earl of Lennox and Lady Margaret Douglas, a niece of Henry VIII., and by her first marriage queen of James IV.; born 1541. In 1565 he was married to Mary Queen of Scots. It was an unfortunate match. Dislike developed open hatred, which the murder of Rizzio, to which Darnley was a party, served to increase. After Mary gave birth to a son, subsequently James VI, Darnley was seized at Glasgow with smallpox, from which he had barely re- covered when Mary visited him, and had him conveyed to an isolated house called Kirk of Field, close to the Edinburgh city walls. This dwelling, which belonged to a retainer of Bothwell's, the rapidly ris- ing favorite, was blown into the air with gunpowder, Feb. 10, 1567. The dead bodies of the king and his page were found in a field at a distance of 80 yards from the house, quite free from any mark which such an explosion would cause. Strong circumstantial evidence points to Bothwell as the murderer, and to Mary as an accomplice in the crime. DARROW, CLARENCE S., an Amer- ican lawyer, born in Kinsman, O., in 1857. He was educated in the public schools of Ohio and after studying law was admitted to the bar in 1875.

He was chief counsel of the anthracite miners in the anthracite coal strike arbitration in 1902-1903. He was also counsel in the Debs strike case and in a large number of labor injunc- tion and labor conspiracy cases, taking the side of labor. He served in the Illi- nois State Legislature in 1902. He won special prominence as counsel for the McNamara brothers in the Los Angeles "Times" dynamite case in 1911. He was counsel for Eugene V. Debs for con- spiring to hinder the operation of the draft law in 1917. He was the author of a volume of essays and many pamphlets on social and economic questions. DARTER.
