cases Of ths village Of Wellington vs. E.
W. Adams and y. d, Felt were called for
trial. L. G. Johnston for defense and
Webber and Haskell for the village. The
attorneys for the town claimed that an
agreement had been broken by the at
torney for the defense. Dispositions had
been taken In Cleveland as to the standing
OF certain witnesses that had been called
in the case, and they, the plaintiff sup
posed that was all of the testimony that
was TO be introduced In that direction but
on day Of trial additional witnesses had
been called to testify on the same point
and therefore requested a continuance for
at least two weeks TO meet It.. Mr.. Johns
ton said he did not so understand Il, but
would do nothing TO stand in the way Of
bringing out the points Of the case and
therefore consented to the continuance.
After this was arranged, Mr.. Johnston
made motion to dismiss the actions ON
the ground Of insufIciency Of the affldavits,
which the court took under advisement.

In his recent published discourse before the
British association, Professor 7. C. Bonney
makes an effort to ascertain whether it is pos
sible to trace the foundation stones of the
earths crust, those materials which were laid
down in times before the waters had rested
upon its surface and were therefore deposited
from the primitive molten mass.
Professor Slater, in The Pittsburg Dispatch,
says; Most geologists are now of the opinion
that all the crystalline rocks Of the earth s
surface such as the GRANTEES and syenites,
were originally deposited from water, and
owe their peculiar present condition to
changes which have led to the crystallization
Of their materials and TO the consequent
effacement Of their original indications of
water action.
Professor Bonney endeavors to establish
the fact that the cider crystalline rocks indi-
cate time when the rocks were formed with
out the action of water, when they were de-
posted by cooling from the fiery mass Of the
planet. Among the many interesting points
of a purely technical nature he makes one
suggestion which is OF general interest He
suggests that such rocks would have been
formed under very great pressure, for the
reason that at that time, the waters be-
ing in the state of vapor, the pressure upon
the surface OF the earth would have amount
ed to $40 atmospheres, or a weight equal to
that OF 4,000 feet of average rock.-New
York Telegram.

Danger In the DIilk.

In a thoughtful article in The American
Agriculturist DR.. Frederick Z. Rice, the
veterinary expert Of Albany, formerly OF
Connecticut, in very plain words points out
the actual danger of tuberculosis which con-
fronts people who drink milk, in other words,
every one. First showing the prevalence OF
consumption, 2S of every 100 dying of the
disease, he passes on to the physical condition
of COWS, showing by statistics that 10 per
cent. of American COWS have the disease,
Jersey cattle especially being subject to it,
and showing indications Of the disease in even
greater number of cases. London beef, it
is stated by experts, is so per cent. tubercu-
lous, while the beef of Texas, the only state
collating statistics on the subject, shows a
percentage Of 2S per cent. tuberculous beef.
The fact that consumption does not exist in
countries where the COW is absent, as among
the Esquimaux and on the steppes Of Russia,
is suggestive. Excellent authority is quoted
to show the identity CT the human and the
bovine tubercle, and Gerlach, q German vet
erinarian, in 1868 proved that the disease may
be transmitted to man through the milk OF q
cow.
The conclusion of the whole matter is that
more precautions should be taken by the state
to put tuberculous cattle under the ban The
disease should be stamped out, and veterlna-
rians shonld be kept busy by the state ferret
ing out the disease; and when found heroic
measures should be used in destroying the
cause. For years the world has been looking
for cure for consumption. Ii the authori-
ties cited in the article are trustworthy, the
cause of the disease lies at our very doors;
and the superiority of prevention over cure is
proverbial New Haven Palladium.

In the Wrong Pew.

William Pitt Murray is member OF
the chamber of commerce Broadway
bridge committee. and as the committee
was to hold meeting yesterday after
noon he was duly on hand at the APP
pointed time. In fact he was a little
ahead of time, and as usual, in hurry.
The Contractors and Builders associa-
ton was holding an important execu-
tive meeting in the chamber of com
merce chamber, to which no one but
members were admitted. William Pitt,
under the impression that it was his
committee that was in session, rushed
In and seated himself directly in front
of the chairman. His appearance put a
sudden stop to proceedings. The
chairman'S face assumed cholerlc
hue, and he began to stammer some
thing wholly unintelligible. 1t would
not do to ask Hon. William Pitt Murray
to get out, and it would hardly do to
continue the proceedings while he was
not a member. Finally somebody pro-
posed to elect him honorary member
and then he tumbled to the fact that he
had stepped into the wrong pew. He
was elected honorary member Just the
same, after which he apologiZed for his
Intrusion, and retired to hunt up his
nMn meeting.

A PLANTS MIGRATION.

A Colorado Weed Follows the
Beetle on His Travels to the
East.
One of the most remarkable instances
of the apparent migration of plant, as
if to keep company with an insect, is
the removal of the homely plant which
botanists call solanum rostratum from
the vicinity of the Rocky mountains
eastward.
About The year 1867, says the Youths
Companion, the farmers of the Missis-
sipi Valley began to be aware of new
pest in their fields, whose ravages were
becoming alarming. A stocky, gaudily-
striped beetle, which multiplied at an
alarming rate, had begun to devour
their potato vines. Nothing could stay
or exterminate the plague. The pota-
toes, deprived of their vines, rotted in
the ground and an important crop was
lost.
This beetle naturally received from
the farmers the name of ''potato bug"
1t was found to have begun an eastward
N arch from the uncultivated strip of
Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas.
and it has consequently since been
known as the Colorado potato beetle.
1t was found that in the region of its
origin, this beetle had fed upon solanum
rostratum, plant belonging to the
same genus as potato. Doubtless the
insect had been quite content with this
article of food. But some settler
planted field of potatoes and the
beetle at once fell in love with them.
Migrating eastward in eager search of
its new food, the Colorado beetle multi
piled with astonishing rapidity. In a
few years it had covered the whole cOun-
try, and had devastated the potato fields
clear to the Atlantic coast. Then some
of the BEETLES, or their eggs, were car
ried in vessels across the ocean. and the
insect began new career in the Old
World, for it spread over the British
Isles and the continent of Europe.
All this because someone had planted
potato field in Colorado. But what
about the solanum r0stratum, SO heart
lessly abandoned by it's ola friend? One
would suppose that, left free of the de-
vOuring attentions of the beetle, it
would have been content to stay where
it was, but this has not been the case.
The weed seems to have set out imme-
dIately on journey in search OF the
beetle.
The prevailing direction of plant mi
grafton IN this country is westward.
With the settlement of the country, the
plants of Europe and of Eastern Amer
lea tend to crowd out the native vegeta-
ton of the West. But the solanum
proves an exception to the rule. Appar-
emily it believes that it's destiny is to be
eaten; nothing but the potato beetle will
eat it. and so it comes East to find that
insect. 1t has spread over cultivated
lands in Texas and Missouri, and last
summer Prof. L. U. Pammel found it
growing at Watertown, Wis.
Wherever it goes it is troublesome
weed and seems to increase in size as it
comes eastward.

PRINCE RUSSELL REBUKED.
He Cannot Examine Col. Crosby
Before Trial of the Libel Suit.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-An application
on behalf of Russell B. Harrison for the
examination of Col. Schuyler Crosby,
who is suing Mr.. Harrison for 100000
for alleged libel, before trial, for the
purpose of having his answer, was
denied to-day by Judge Ingraham.
Among the questions Mr.. Harrison
sought to put are: What the colonel's
financial condition was at the time of
the publication of the alleged libel,
April 50, 1887. and during the preced-
ing winter; where he lived and under
what circumstances for several years
prior to that time: what and where his
business was; with whom he associated;
what females he met and associated
with; with whom and how he spent his
time, and what were his habits of life;
whether Col. Crosby is married; wheth-
er he and his wife have lived together
since marriage, and are now living to-
gether, and if so what part of the time
they have lived apart; if they are living
apart what the reasons are, and wheth-
er divorce proceedings have been pend
ing and are now pending, and also all
allegations made in the alleged libelous
publication,
