The Vail Estnte.

Miss Anna R. Vail, the widow of N. R..
Vail, who died on March 5, 1888. leaving,
besides his wife, two children, Frederick
N, aged IS years, and Lizzie, aged "a
years, filed petitien in the Superior
Court yesterday asking to have her
monthly allowance of $500 continued.
In her petition she states that her son
Frederick is at college, and that ne re-
quires 800 per month. Her daughter
resides with her. She alleges that no
personal property belongs to the estate
exempt from execution, nor is there any
homestead settled on petitioner, nor has
any property been set apart for her ex-
cept $500 per month for one year from
March 5, 1888. She alleges that the
value of the estate is $4,000, against
which are claims to the amount of SILL
241; but, owing to a depression of the
market, the administrator has found it
impossible to sell any property except at
discount, for which reason it is impos-
sible to close the estate without loss.
She asks for continuance of the allow
ance, as necessary to the support OF her
family.

had announced that the library would
be able to be moved into it's new quar-
ters in about four weeks. The library
rooms will be in the third story of the
new City Hall and will be much more
suitable for the convenience of the public
and of those in charge of the library than
the present quarters. The fact that the
removal of the library is so near at
hand brought up discussion as
to the best method of furnishing
the same, and on motion it
was decided that at the call of President
Dobinson the Board would meet at the
architects Office and consult with him in
relation to the matter. The Librarian
was instructed to send communication
to the City Council requesting that steps
be taken to have the elevator placed in
the new City Hall at once. 1t was stated
that as very large proportion of the Wis
itors to the Library will be children, and
as the rooms are on the third floor, the
elevator will be public necessity, and
that it should be in place when the
library is opened to the public in the new
quarters. This, it was stated, will not
take place until nearly a month after the
books are moved.
A discussion followed on the possibility
of securing funds with which to purchase
books which are needed to make good
library. 1t was admitted that there were
but about 5000 books in the library,
when it should contain from 40, 900 to
10000, to make it credit to
the city. The impossibility of obtaining
any funds from the. city except for the
payment of running expenses was also
admitted, and it was agreed that some
other plan must be adopted. The Lii
brarian was instructed to obtain figures
showing what other libraries are, and,
till the Directors agreed, to suggest plans
for contemplated call upon the citizens
who are interested in the welfare of the
city to furnish funds for the placing Of
the Library on a proper footing The
Board then adjourned, subject to the
call of the Prasident

The Girls, Home.

In answer to an appeal for assistance
issued by the managers of the Girls
Home, Otto Mueller, of Pomona, gave
the sum of 500 yesterday, and B. s..
Coulter, the dry goods man, gave $40.
Much more is needed, and it is expected
from liberal citizens. Mrs. Watson
states that there are now at the asylum,
two girls of and one OF 10 years of
age, for whom she wishes to find homes,
both of them we'll brought-up children.
There is also girl of 18, for whom she
wishes to find employment in family.

Why the Leaves Turn.

Probably not one person in u
thousand knows why leaves change
their color in the fall" remarked
an eminent botanist the other day.
''The common and old fashioned
idea is that all this red and golden
glory we see now is caused by
f'rosts. A true and scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the causes of the
coloring of leaves would neccssl-
tate long and intricate discus
sion. Stated briefly and in proper
language, those causes are these:
The green matter in the tissue of
q leaf is composed of two colors,
red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall, and the
natural growth ofthe tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place,
Under certain conditions The
green ofthe leaf changes to red;
under different conditions it takes
on q yellow or brown stint. This
difference in color is due to the
difference in combination of the
orr ,lnal constituents Of the green
tissue, and to the varying condi-
tions of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate pro-
duces more brilliant foliage than
one that is damp and warm. This
Is the reason that our American
autumns are so much more gor-
geous than those of England.
There are several things about
leaves that even science can not
explain. For instance, why one
oitWo trees growing side by side, |
OF the same age and having the
same exposure, should take on a
brilliant red in the fall and the
other should turn yellow; or why
one branch Of q tree should be
highly colorod and the rest of the
tree have only a yellow tint, are
questions that are as impossible
to answer as Why one member of a
family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest eosors.
