Nitrogen from the Air.

Prof. William 0. Atwater, in a lecture
before the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, referred to this difficult problem
as follows:
In regard to the question whether plants
obtain any considerable quantity of nitro
gen from the air, or are restricted to the
supply available to their roots in the soil,
Professor AtWater said that for fifty years
these problems have been discussed, and
during that time chemists have been en-
d~eavOring TO solve them by experiments.
For a long period a negative answer to
both these questions seemed probable, but
of late the tendency of research has been
in the other direction. The lecturer re-
ferred to some experiments of his own of
which 2n account was given in the Ameri-
can Chemical Journal three years ago,
which pointed in this direction, and a
year and a half ago an account was given
in the same journal of further experiments
which confirmed the results of the former
ones. The following conclusions were
drawn from the facts observed in these ex.
periments
The experimental testimony regarding
the acquisition of atmospheric nitrogen by
plants is conflicting. But the evidence
against it which comes from the laboratO-
ry and green house is based upon expert.

The Metlakahtla Difficulty.

1--WE find in the Commons Debates, just
to. hand, the full text of Sir John Mac.
dDnald'S remarks in reply to Sir Richard
Cartwright on the Metlakahtla troubles.
The superintendent General of Indian
Affairs said l think the hon. gentleman
will find all the particulars in. the annual
report. 1t is a very unfortunate affair al.
together, but it is quite beyond the con-
troll of the Dominion Government. Mr.,
Duncan first went there as a lay reader,
sent by the Church Missionary Society of
England. He has been very successful,
he is a man of great administrative abil-
ity, and he really made an exceptionally
good settlement there. He employed
those Indians in the pursuits of white
men, especially in tanning and similar
pursuits. The OdiWm theOIOgioum arose
there, which is the most uncomfortable of
all sorts of animosities.
Sir Richard Cartwright-Worse than

Sir John A. Macdonald have seen a
good deal of that Odium, and it is GER,
tainly a very different thing from Chris.

peculiar views on religious matters, and
severed himself from the church
in which he had been. 1t seems

Successful transplantatiOn Ofnerve
from rabbit to man.

Much interest has been excited by the
successful transportation OF nerve from a
rabbit to man. The operation was per-
formed by DR.. Gersung, of Vienna, and
the patient was DR.. Won Fleischl, Professor
of Physiology in the University of that
city. Sixteen years ago DR.. Won Fleischl
accidentally wounded himself while con-
Quoting a p~OSt-mOrtem examination, and
the consequent severe inflammation of his
right arm aud hand led ultimately to the
= loss of the terminal joint of his thumb.
The end of the stump having become pain
FIJI, amputatiOn somewhat further back
was performed. This was followed by the
Z" formation of "neuromata." In the hope
/. Of obtaining relief be underwent several
~fruitless operations. Ultimately, DR..
na1Gersung suggested that the nerves might
8 be repaired, and the missing portions re-
~ placed, by means Of fresh nerve taken
from d rabbit. The Times of Tuesday
gives the following account OF the opera
|-tion :-''Just as there is nothing special
in any individual human nerve, and as any
lone of them would be capable of discharg-
ing the duty of any other, so it may be
assumed, there is no difference between
:: tie e~ndOwments of the nerves of man and
tiOse Of the lower animals, which fulfil
identical functions in an identical manner.
Il u w GCS L1RS OIOANS ACOhCAO bhNO
the nerve of an animal, if IA piece could be
obtained of the proper size and length,
and if tranSplaItation and union could be
successfully effected, would suffice to make
good any loss of nerve in man; and, i'll the
present instance, which is, we believe, the
first of the kind on record, not only have
the transformation and union been success
full, but the new piece of nerve seems to
have overcome the tendency of the Old to
undergo degeneration of structure at its
divided extremity. A portion, six cen
timetreS iii length, OF the great nerve of
a rabbits thigh was selected, and was so
removed from the freshly killed animal rs
to include the natural bifurCation of the
main trunk into two branches. The di-
vided:stem was secured 10y stitches to the
stump of the nerve in Prof. Won FleiSChl's
arm, aud the ends of The branches were
secured in like manner to the nerve ter
limitations which remained in his fingers,
and which were rendered useless by their
separation from the trunk to which they
belonged. The whole operation, as a
matter of course, WAS conducted witt
strict adherence to those principles Of an
tiseptiC surgery without which failure
would have been more than likely but, by
the observance of which, union, almost
anywhere or of any thing, can with a near
approach to certainty be secured. The
wound healed kindly, the tranSplanted
nerve soon became at home in its new
position; and already, after the lapse of
a little more than two months, it is repOr.
ted that sensation is returning to the fin
gers. At the same time there has been no
return of pain, Int no fresh indication of
tire development Of neuromata, so that
hope of an absolutely successful issue may
now with some confidence be ~entertaintA.'

ony, Sir James Douglas granted a patent
to the Missionary Society, or to the bishop
as representing the society, of two acres
of land. The Missionary Society sent a
clergyman there. | think the bishop went
there himself. That was resisted by the
Indians and by Mr.. Duncan. He set him
self up to oppose the use of those two
acres by the English Church bishop. The
British Columbia government said: We
must sustain the law, these two acres were
a Grown grant to the church, and they
must be allowed to be in peaceful possess
sion of them. The animosity became
very great, and the Indians took up the
quarrel. | may say that the Indians are
not by any means unanimous in regard to
this, but a majority followed Mr.. Duncan.
A very considerable minority, however,
adhered to the system established by the
Church Missionary Society, and a most
unwholesome state of things arose. They
began to pull down the houses and Mr..
Duncan, according to the report of
law officers, broke the law. | may say
that when | was in England [ tried to
mediate and to nave matters settled. l

Missionary society. Mr.. Duncan was i'll

society, | would recommend his appoint
ment as Indian agent for the northeast
coast. He seemed inclined at one time
to take it up, but in some way or other
We could not come to terms. Then, / am
sorry to say, Mr.. Duncan took the eX-
IRENE step OF advising the Indians to
resist the laying out of their reserves, III
siSting that the country belonged to the
Indians, and that they had never sur
rendered anything. Well, he carried
that INTO practice, and refused to allow
the surveyors to lay out reserves, | may
say that Mr., O'Reilly was sent there
with intimatiou that both the Dominion
and the Provincial governments desired
that the most liberal terms should be
made with the Indians, but they would
not listen to anything. Mr.. Duncan
then, finding that the British Columbia
government were resolved to carry ont
the law, induced the Indians to go with
him to Alaska, and they commenced, in
the most WantOn way, to pull down the
buildings and improvements at MetIakaht-
la, and Some of the materials they car
ried off to Alaska. They made a complete
waste of the whole thing, in fact there
was a sort of civII war in that settlement.
[ believe the Indians, a good many of
them, repented going to Alaska, because
they had not found everything c0uleur de
rose there, and they are returning in
small parties to Metlakahtla. 1t is a
g%reviouS thing, because Mr.. Duncan Ger
tainly did great service when he first went
there, but he had been so long governing
the Indians in that whole region like a
dictator, that he could not submit to the
law Victoria COlOnjSt.

The Saving Grace Of WaterwOrks.

The following letter from Seguin shows
how the waterworks there saved the most
valuable block in the city from destruction
by fire. and but for the watsrworks here
during the recent fire, the losses would no
doubt have reached $4,000:

G. NJ. HOLMES, esq.,, San Marcos, Tex.
My Dear Sir and Friend-A fire broke
out yesterday evening in the law office Of
w. r. Neal, over Tips & Terrell's hardware
store. The entire block would have burned
down had it not been for the winter works.
In less than one minute after the alarm was
given stream of water at the Northwest
corner of the court house square was thrown
upon the building. In very short time
another was throwing water from tho one
III front of Mr.. Burgess house. A third was
soon throwing water on the rear Of tho
building from the hydrant in front of the
truck house. OF course the fire was soon
under control.
1 wish yop could have been here to have
heard the public expressions toward the wa
ter works, l think 1t would have done you
good. Everybody spoke in the higest praise.
aud il is q fact acknowledged by oil that
more money was saved to the city yesterday
than the entire amount that viii be paid to
the water works for 20 years. There will
be no trouble hereafter from the city to
meet its payments in cash. I feel good my
self oyer the matter. With kindest regards
to your good lady, l am Your Friend,

Free schools Of Hays County

We iind IN the other county papers the
following table. which We copy as matter
OF general interest II will be noticed that
our city public schools are not included in
the table, they being under the exclusive
Jurisdiction OF the city. To complete the
statistics therefore wo will state that the
scholastic population OF our city is 40,
being vastly larger than any SGT down in
the table. or this, 335 are white and
1875 colored. Tho amount appropriated for
both Is $3.50,

der the incubus of the old community sys-
TEN, now utterly condemned md ropudiated
by all intelligent educators. Under an i'm
proved system tho schools would be fewer
In number but more efficient, Some Of the
schools Ia the table arc eolored, but are not
designated ~ such.
It seems to us an explanation Is needed
as to communities Nos. II and 90 in the
table, the first being styled "San Marcos
colored," the other simply "Sn Marcos"
The fact IL, as we aro informed, that both are
outside of San Marcos, the ono representing
a colorod school community distinct from
the city colored school, the other COM
munity of whites who continue to send to
Coronal Institute Tho table, going out
without explanation to places where the
facts are unknown, would naturally give
the idea that these were the only public
schools belonging to San Marcos aud thus
greatly damage the reputation of the city
abroad. The two communities designated,
having no connection with San Marcos.
should obviously each have different name.
