THE WESTERN TRANSPORTATION QUESTION:
The Chicago Tribune puts the whole matter
of Western grain transportation in a nutshell
when it says 'the question is simply matter
of expense. If grain can be brought to
Chicago from st. Louis and delivered in New
York for less money than it can be by way Of
New Orleans and the ocean, not bushel
would ever 60 down the river; while if grain
can be taken more cheaplY from Chicago to
New York via st. Louis and New Orleans, 1t
will go that way" This is practical way of
stating the case. The result remains In the
hands Of the railroads and transportation COM
panies, the commission merchants and ware
house men interested in having the grain
shipments Of the West reach the seaboard at
New York via Buffalo or via st. Louis. 1t is
entirely question of cheap rates, and those
interested should govern themselves accord
ingly.

This extraordinary case has been adjourned
until to-day. On Wednesday Marshal Tooker's
evidence was given, comprising all the testi-
mony offered by the prosecution The two
photographers who were examined for the de-
fence admitted that they did not know how the
pictures were taken, although they had inves-
tigated the process. Ex-Judge Edmonds and
Mr. Paul Bremond testified that they believed
the pictures were produced by spiritual agency.
Mr. Bremond had never seen spirit. 81 am

wish was" But he had heard spirit voices.

lifetime, also in their grave Dress" but, he
added, 81 don't know that ever saw a spirit
without clothes" The other day at a court in
Brooklyn, at the trial of case in which was
an action in policy of insurance, he saw
standing up behind the jury the spirit of
man who told me he was the one whose life and
death were involved in the policy.
The appearance of the spirit was shadowy and
transparent, and could see material objects
through It.; the first spirit ever saw was that
of Judge Talmadge Of the Supreme Court; l
saw through it," The ex-Judge is manifestly
indisposed to cry "humhag," as Scrooge cried
in Dickens Christmas Carol" when he saw
the ghost of old Marley, who ''was dead as
door nail" Judge Edmonds is not incredu-
lous, like Scrooge, who fought against his
senses, even while che looked the phantom
through and through, and saw it standing be-
fore him." The counsel for the defence of
Mumler ought to engage Mr.. vandenhoff to

The Roots Of Plants.

In his work entitled " How Crops Grow"
S. ". Johnson says:
The quantity Of roots usually attached to
any plant is usually far greater than can be
estimated by roughly lifting them from the
soil. To cxtricate the roots Of wheat or
clover, for example, from the earth COM
~plcteiy, is q matter Of no little difficulty.
Schubart has made the most satisfactory OBJ
]servntions we possess on the roots OF several
important crops, growing in the field. He
separated them from the soil by the follow
ing cxpcdicnt An excavation was made
in the field to the depth Of ak feet, and Il
stream of water was directed against the
vertical wall of soil until it was washed
away. so that the roots of the plants grow
inr in it were laid bare. The roots thus ex-
posed in Il field of rye, in one Of beans, and
in q bed OF garden peas, presented the ap-
pcarancc Of a mat, r felt OF white tibres
to depth of aboutf3m feet from tic surface
Of the ground.
The roots of winter wheat he observed as
deep as seven feet, in & light 5uhsoil, forty
seven days after sowing. The depth Of The
roots of winter wheat, winter rye, and win
ter COLA. az well as Of clover, was three to

two years oil clover were but four inches
longer. The quantity Of roots per cent. Of
the entire plant in the dry state was found {:
Winter wheat, examined the last day Of
April, 10 per cent; winter wheat, May, 22
per cent; winter rye, examined last day o.
April, 81 per cent; peas, examined at the
time OF blossom, 81 per cent. llellrlcgel
carefully examined the radicutinn nf bar
lev and oats, and, for this purpose, raised
plants in large glass pots and separated their
roots from the soil by careful washing with
water. He observed that directly from the
ba : of the stem twenty 10 thirty roots
branch of sideways and downward.
These roots at their point of issue have o
diameter of l-25 Of an inch, but q little
lower the diameter dim;nishcs to about LOO
of an inch. Retaining this diameter, they
pass downward, dividing and branching to
a certain depth. From these main roots
branch out innumcrablc side roots which
branch again and so on, filling every creyice
and pore CT the soil. 70 ascertain the total
length Of root he weighed and astertaiucd
the length Of selected average proportions.
Weighing then the entire root system, he
calculated the entire length. He estimated
the length of the roots Of > vigorous barley
plant OF l2S feet, and that OF an cat plant
at $50 feet. he found q small bulk of good
fine soil suticed for this developmcnt-l-40
cubic foot answered for q barley plant, l-32
cubic foot for an oat plant. In-these ex-
periments Ilcllriegel observed also that the
quality of the soil influenced the develop
mcnt. In rich porous garden soil, q barley
plant produced l26 feet of roots but in q
c~oarse-grained compacted soil, q similar
| plant had but 50 feet of roots.

CAPTAIN THOMAS F. OwENs.-We learn
from the Richmond papers that Colonel
William L. Cameron has resigned his posi-
ton as secretary to Governor Walker, and
that he will be succeeded at the beginning
Of next year by our townsman Captain
Thomas F. Owens.
We regret very much that we have lost
Captain Owens from our midst-a man uni
versally beloved by our fcllow-citizens. We
cannot well afford to dispense with such
men but it can't be helped, and so we con-
sole ourselves with the knowledge that the
loss to Norfolk will be a gain to Richmond.
Our Governor will also secure the services
of a gentleman of great business capacity,
most widely known throughout Virginia,
and one Of the most popular men in the
Commonwealth.
While Captain Owens is no politician, he
has been n warm supporter Of reconstruc-
ton, and from the first he advocated the
New Movement az the only means by
which restoration could be attained. He
is one of the very best men for the position
to which he has been appointed, and
Governor Walker has shown great judgment
in b~estowing it upon a gentleman in every
respect so eminently qualified for it,
