NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Three Its Brought Against the Com
pany TO Prevent the Issue of New
Second Mortgage Bonds.

New YORK, October "a Three suits
were brought against the Northern Pa
ciic Company to-day by Dunning, Ed.
sail, Hart & Fowler, and Anderson &
Rowland. The object of the suits is to
prevent the issue of the new second
mortgages. The ground taken is that
the original act of incorporation prohib-
its the company from making
any mortgage or issuing any con-
struction bonds without the con-
sent of congress. Congress gave its
consent in 1870 that the company might
issue construction bonds and secure
them by mortgage. Under that consent
Jay Cookies mortgages were made, which
we're subsequently foreclosed. The po-
sition taken by plaintiffs is that the au-
thority of congress once exercised was
exhausted and could not be repealed.
The order to show cause with stay
was granted in two suits and argu-
ments are to be heard November
lst. The officers of the company say
the suit brought by j. j. Bradley, who
says he is the holder of common stock,
is of no Importance. He asks that the
company be enioined from issuing bonds
or making mortgages until congress
gives its consent. This consent was
given long ago, and Bradley has no
standing. He had 200 shares OF common
stock transferred to him on Saturday to
bring suit,

WHY THEY DESERT.

p. : j.. Il I q q E.
An examination OF the reports made
by department commanders to the sec
retary of war, on the. cause of ldeser-
tions fromlthe army, shows the follow.
ing principal causes: First, insufficient
quantity of, and want of variety in food;
second, the great amount of manual
labor required to be performed by en-
listed men; third. insufficient pay;
fourth, partiality in the administration
of Justice; fifth, stringency of the regu-
lations governing guard duty; sixth,
the enlistment of bad men in the ser.
vice. A majority of the department
commanders express the opinion that
the operation of these causes could be
. in alarge measure reduced without add
ing materially to the cost of the army.
1t ia thought that the increase in pay
recommended by the general of the
army, from $15 to SIG per month, com
bined with revision of the rations,
would of itself largely do away with
the first and third causes named.

PLANTS IN HOUSES.

Most people imagine that house
plants poison the air of room by the
exhalation of carbonic acid during the
night. That this is popular fallacy,
and that il, should be speedily consigned
to the well-peopled limbo of "vulgar
errors," was demonstrated not long
since by Prof. Kedrie, of the Michigan
Agricultural College. To make the test
as conclusive as possible, instead of TAX,
ing the air from room containing few
plants only, the professor gathered il
from the college greenhouse. where
more than 5000 plants were growing.
Tho room had been closed for more
than twelve hours, and if the plants ex-
hailed carbonic acid to an injurious ex-
tent the analysis of air from such a room
would certainly have disclosed the fact.
Three specimens of this imprisoned air
were gathered shortly before sunrise,
from different parts Of the room, the an
al7sls of which gave All, 4, 4, parts OF
carboniclacid in l0,O 900 of air, or an av-
erage of 4.03 in 10000, while the outside
air contained parts in 10, 900.

COLOR TEACHING IN SCHOOLS

T. Z s"- 3 4 . -
The numerous examinations made by
experts the past few years have shown
that about four in a hundred males are
more or less color blind. whilst the de-
feet is rare among females, only about
one-fourth of one per cent. having been
found lacking in the chromatic sense.
This exemption is not attributable to
their greater familiarity, with colors, but
it Is by the best authorities considered
as simply sexual difference. The ex.
animation and the study of the color
sense have, brought into notice the fact
that the othe- ninety-six out of "a hun
dred males, who have normal color
sense, are yet quite ignorant as to col
ors and color, names. This ignorance
has now been admitted and recognized
by all those who need knowledge of
colors in the industries of practical life.
Professor ,Yirchow complained of it bit
/, terlyiihia public. lecture on education,
and urged the necessity of systematic
color teaching in every term of school
life. The report to the Boston school
board by DR.. Jetfries, of his examination
of some twenty-eight thousand schol-
ars, entirely substantiates the experience
OF his fellow experts in other parts of
the world. In consequence, the atten-
ton of the Boston educational authori-
ties has been directed to the question
of color teaching for some three years
past, and finally the school board has
decided to introduce some systematic
teaching in the primary department.
The school board has adopted the color
chart Of DR.. Hugo Maguus, as arranged
by Or. Jetfries for use in the United
States, as the simplest and most practi-
cal for primary coler teaching.

A Rich Convent.
(Cor. New York Sun.]

lCor. New York Sun. r-.4fas.. f-
The Convent of the Holy Trinity is
the richest in Russia. During the Cri-
mean war, like the Kief convent, it lent
the czar 100000 rubles. But, unlike
the Kietf convent, it cares nothing about
the money; its Golfers are better filled
than those of the treasury. st, Ser
glus founded this convent in the four
teenth century, while Russia was yet
groaning under the Tartar yoke. In
stead of plain structure Sergius built
fortress with heavy cannon. His
brethren were experienced swordsmen
and gupners. 1t WAS st. Sergius who
induced the Moscow prince, Dmitry, to
try to throw off the Tartar yoke. The
Fartars suffered bloody defeat, yet
their yoke rested upon Russia for over
a century more, and the Convent of the
Holy Trinity was repeatedly besieged
by the pagan hordes. But it was never
taken. The black-hooded ganners were
too much for the Tartars, armed only
with bows and arrows. Many times the
Moscow court sought refuge within the
walls OF the Holy rinity convent.
During the interresnum, the convent as
sumed supreme authority over the coun-
Try. In the ichurchyard of the convent
there are the graves. of many schema
monks who in this world wore princely
crowns. In the olden times Russian
monarchs toward the end of their lives
used to enter the convent, renounce the
world, and change their names. They
seemed to fear to appear before the AL
mighty with the names they had borne
and in the glittering robes they had
worn during almost all their lives. ssa4E
Now the monks OF the convent Of The
Holy Trinity have no need OF swords or
tam IN. They no longer do anything
but plaar and solicit gifts, Their relig-
ious services are brilliant and imposing,
and their singing is wonderful, but their
solicitation is ex'ortion.
