The Len 9Th of Roots.

A Mr. Schubach made made excava-
tions by the sido OF such plants % the
beet, potato corn, etc, and by playing
n stream Of water against the vertical
bank, was able to expose the roots and
determine their extent, methods of
branching, depth of growth, and many
other valuable facts. Photographs of
these exposed roots have been taken,
50 that the facts about the underground
parts of plants are preserved as pic
lures. The roots thus laid bare, Gin a
field of rye, in one of beans, and in
bed of garden peas, presented the APP
pearance of a mat or felt Of white
fibers, extending to the depth of about
four feet. Roots of wheat sown Sep
TENDER 26th, and uncovered the 26th
of April, had penetrated three and
half feet, and six weeks later about
four feet below the surface. In one
case, in light subsoil, wheat roots
were found as deep as seven feet. The
roots of the wheat in April con-
stituted 40 per cent. OF the whole
plant" The roots of wheat
have been traced below ten feet By
number Of American investigators,
and Prof. johnson states that the
roots of maize, which in rich and
tenacious earth extend but two or
three fGet, have been traced to q
length of ten or even fifteen feet in
light sandy soil" Prof. Atwater, in an
article on the depth of roots, states
that lucern roots make the depth Of
twenty, end even thirty feet. The late
Mr.. Mech. tells of n man in England
who "dug parsnip which measured
thirteen feet six inch in length, but
was unfortunately broken at that
length" The roots Ct larger plants,
such as shrubs and trees, are cores
pondiugly greater in their length. 1t
is not uncommon to find the roots OF
trees running down to the depth OF
fifty feet in soil that is porous. Much
depends upon the character of the
soil and the source of supply OF food,
and especially the disposition of the
soil water. The roots of an elm tree
have been taken from an aqueduct $50
feet from the base of the tree.

The Ohio Elections.

The result of the recent elections in
Ohio is q surprise to both parties. A
happy surprise to the democrats and
disagreeable surprise to the republi-
cans. A democratic tidal wave Of i'm
mense dimensions seems to have swept
over the entire area of the buckeye
state and completely engulfed the re-
publican party. 1t is difficult to trace
the immediate cause of this political
revolution. One eminent gentleman OF
Cincinnati, high in the confidence of
the republican party, asserts that the de-
feat of his party is due to its playing fast
and loose with the prohibition question.
Murst Halstead, also a leader of the
party, declares WITH emphasis that the
stalwarts are to blame for the whole
business. That their disgraceful action
10 Chicago, followed by their fraud in
the state conventions of Penr sylvania
and New York, has Disguised, the voters
and driven them to the democrats.
Ohio is now the only state of import
apce that adheres to October elections,
and is therefore considered of import
ance as affecting the elections in the
states that elect in November. Tne,ef-
feet this year will probably not be as
great as expected, as it will doubtless
be found that the influences at work in
Ohio were of an entirely local char
acter

enjoy the scenery. Finally, overcome
by drowsiness, he fell asleep. In his
waistcoat.pocket he had placed roll
of bills amounting to about $l75, a
small portion of which protruded.
Before doing he had noticed, but paid
no particular attention to, the antics OF
a goat in the immediate vicinity. On
awakening, however, he at once missed
the roll of bills, and brief search re-
vealed the fact that the goat had
distracted the money, shaken it up,
made lunch of several notes, and
utterly ruined most of the remainder

The news has brought CONSERVATION
into the various departments, where
the Ohio idea prevails to considerable
extent. There has been feverish anxi-
ETY. among the clerks from Ohio to
hear something else than reports of
general democratic gains. More than
one of them said taat its effect would
be the loss of New York, the next
house and the next president. The
prospect for thorough clearing out of
the various departments in 1874 is not
contemplated with any degree of pleas
ure by the various occupants thereof.
The election of fourteen, and perhaps
sixteen, democrats in Ohio, ard the
fact that George g. Thompson vii! be
supported by them,for sergeant-at-arm
virtually settles the speakership, in caro-
the coalition movements in the south
fail. Carlisle, of Kentucky, with
Thompson out of his way, would have
been formidable candidate with near
lv thirty votes from Kentucky and
Ohio to start with. The Ohio demo-
Gratis will support Thompson and a
combination formed by the supporters
of Thompson for sergeant with those
of Carlisle for speaker will undoubted-
ly make both the nominees of the
democratic caucus.
