Lively Senatorial Fight.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The Michi.
gan Senatorial fight is growing warm
here. There has been a mysterious
meeting lately of the Michigan delega.
ton that may produce sensation. 1t
is developed that the defeat Oh Burrows
in the late Congressional fight results
from the alleged treachery of one
Thornton Clark, in the Interior De.
partment, who started a paper at
Kalamazoo and allowed it to 90 into
the hands of Others, who at once
started bitter anti. Burrows and pro.
Ferry campaign. The paper suspended
the day after election. Burrows laid
the matter before Ferry recently, and
asked his co-operation in getting
Thornton removed. Ferry at first de-
INJURED, but finally told Burrows to
go to Secretary Teller and inform him
that Thornton's removal was demanded
in the name of the entire Michigan
delegation, and he could add that SEN
ator Ferry indorsed tho demand. Bur
rows made the visit. Teller said he
was convinced that Thsrnton ought to
be removed on the ground Of treachery,
but was embarrassed because Senator
Fe ry had called upsn him tho day be.

advised him to see Ferry again, but not

An encounter between British mounted

The Suez canal was occupied by the British

The Daily Swelling OF Plants.

With delicate means of measurement
Herr Kraus Las recently proved the ex
istence OF q phenomenon in all plant
organs, which is connected with Their
variable water content, and consists in g
periodical swelling aud contraction in
the twenty-four hours. Leaves, ETC.,
decrease in thickness from the early
morning till the afternoon. when they
begin to swell again, attaining greater
size by night than by day this is well
seen IN agave, aloe ard the like); sini.
larly with buds, flowers, green cones,
fruits, etc and with stems and branches.
Herr Kaiser has before proved such o
period in trunks of trees, and Herr
Kraus shows that both wood and bark
share In 1t, Independently or unitedly.
The various experiments of Herr
kraus-removal of foliage, watering,
shutting out light. etc.-lead to expla-
nation of the phenomena by the vary
ing reciprocal action of those factors
which bring water into the plant and
those which carry it away. By night
only the water absorbing activity of the
parts below ground operates, by day
the water consuming activity of the
parts above ground beside The water
consuming activity depends mainly on
the foliage and on light (removal of
leaves or of light stops contraction) and
consists essentially in Transportation.
Herr Kraus states that when plant is
wa cred these things occur: In a short
time, less than an hour, the stem be-
gins to swell; both wood and bark take
part in this, the wood always first. The
swelling progresses at pretty quick
rate. upward of several meters per Sec
ond. After some time. perhaps an hour,
contraction gradually recurs. The con.
traction began at an upper part of an
acacia after ten minutes, whereas the
swelling at the lower part continued
fifty minutes. This shows that the con-
traction is due to the activity of the
foliage, and is gradually extending
downward.

A Ride on the Back of q Catfish.

In the early days of Rome, about
forty years ago, poor widow, Mrs.
Parks, occupied rude hebitation about
sixteen feet square, constructed of
rough poles, on the site where DR..
Gregory's residence now stands. This
poor woman had two children, the
elder stout, robust giil about eighteen
years OF age, Martha by name the
other was @ boy of seven. One day
Martha, who took in washing to help
support the family, went to the spring
near the house, on the banks of the
Etowah river, to do some washing her
mother was with her. On arriving at
the spring, which is only few feet
from the river, she noticed an enormous
catfish lying in the cool branch OF the
spsing in water nearly deep enough to
float the fish. A batteau was fastened
to tree near by, and, stepping into
the boat, she seized paddle, and
quick as thought dealt the monster
fish a blow on the head, which
stunned it, and the little boy, Scruggs
Parks, jumped into the stream and
seized the fish, but in his excitement
and attempts to secure the prize he
thrust both hands into the gill of the
fish. The gills closed on them with a
vioe-like-erip, and the fish, in founder
ing about with the boy, at length struck
water deep enough to support him, and
with head to the river with mighty
effort shot into the stream with the
speed of an arrow, the boy on his back
A moment of terrible anguish and sus-
pense to the poor sister, who was
helpless observer OF all that was pass
ing, and the cal sh landed high and
dry on an island some sixty or seventy
feet distant from the shore, with the
boy in fainting, frightened and half
drowned condition. The cries of the
sister soon brought men upon the
scene, who took the boat and in few
minutes landed fish and boy on the
shore OF the river. The .fish weighed
sixty-Aye pounds.

BarbaritiGs of Modern War.

The history of bombarding towns
| affords an instance of actual deteriora
tlon In the usages Of modern warfare.
Regular or simple bombardment, that
is, of town indiscriminately and not
merely of its fortresses, has now become
the established practice. Yet what did
Vattel say in the middle of the last
century? cat present we generally
content ourselves with batteripg the
ramparts aud defenses of place. To
destroy town with bombs and ied-
hoS balls is an extremity to which we
do not proceed without cogent reasons. -
What said Vanban still earlier? "The
fire must be directed simply at the de
fenses and batteries of place =
and not against the houses" Then let
| us remember the English bombardment
of Copenhagen in 1907, when the
cathedral and three hundred houses
were destroyed the German lombard
ment of Strasburg in 1870, where
rltied mortars were used for the first
time, and the famous library and
picture gallery destroyed; and the Ger.
man bombardment of Paris, about which,
strangely enough, even the military
conscience of the Germans was struck,
so that in the highest circles doubt,
about the propriety of such proceed
ing at one time prevailed from q moral
uoint of view. With respect again to
sacred or public buildings, warfare
tends to become Increasingly destrnct
i've. 1t was the rule in Greek warfare
to spare sacred buildings; and the
Romans frequently spared sacred and
other buildings, as Marcellus, for in
stance, at Syracuse. Yet when The
French ravaged the Palatinate in 1859
they not only set fire to the cathedrals
but sacked the tombs OF the ancient
emperors at Spie:s. Frederick H.

forces destroyed the capitol at Wash

Vattel had said lin language but which
repeated the language of Polybius and
Cicero): 1--WE ought to spare those
edifices which do honor to human
society, and do not contribute TO the

The Trouble In Egypt.

General Sir Garnet Wolseley, commander
of the British forces in Egypt, arrived at
Alexandria on the transport Calabria, with
the Household cavalry on board, and imme-
diately took charge of operations.
A dispatch from Alexandria states that the
sultan of Turkey peremptorily ordered Arab
Pasha to lay down his arms.
Natives from Kafr-el-Dwar report that
Arab Pasha called a meeting of the Ulema
doctors of law and obtained from them a
fetwa deposing the sultan, and naming the
sheriff of Mecca as caliph. Arab, they say,
is also organizing the Bedouins, and has ap.
pointed commanders for those at Charkies
and at Garbieh in Upper Egypt.
Two DEGREES of the khedive have been pro-
mulgated. One authorizes the British ad-
miral and the commander of the troops to
occupy such points on the Isthmus of Suez
as they consider useful for military opera
tions against the rebels, and invites the
Egyptian authorities to acquaint the inhab-
itants, particularly the canal employees, with
the decree. The other authorizes the British
authorities TO prevent the importation of
coal and munitions of war along the coast.
