Why the I.tayes Turn.

! Why the Leaves Turn.
- tti.ssAna
knows why leaves change their color in thu
fall, remarks aal e,niucut botanist. 1.-THE
common and od-fushioned ldea IS that NIL
this field aud golden glory we see now is
caused by frosts. A true and scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the causes of the colorng Of
leaves would neeessitate a too long AMI intri-
cate discussion Stated briefly and in proper
languaae, those causes are these; Tie green
natter IN the tissue Of a leaf is composed OF
two colors, red and ,blue.. Wien the sap
eeasess TO How in the tail ,-and tae natural
growth ii the tree ceases, oxidation Of the
tissues takes place. Under certain conditions
the green OF The leaf changes to red, under
different conditions it takes on Il yellow or
brown tint The difference in color is due tie
constituents of the green tissue and TO the
varying conditions Of the climate, exposure
and soil A dry cold climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that is damp
and VAIN This is the reason that our
American autumns are SO much more gorge
GUS than those Of England. There are severa
things about leaves that even science cannot
explain For instance, why one or two trees
growing side by side, of the same age and
having the same exposure, should take on
brilliant red in the fall and the other should
turn yellow; or why one branch of tree
should be highly colored and the rest of the
tree have only a yellow tint, are ques lions
that are as impossible to answer as why one
member of family should be perfectly healthy
and the other sickly. Naples and oaks havo
the brightest colors.'

Too Much Far Not ling.

An Iowa editor hits it about right in
this way; 1.-The press endurss the affection
of deadheadism from the stage, society, ind
vlduas and corporations. 1t IS expected to
give strength to the weak, eyes to the blind,
clothes to the naked, bread to the hungry,
ETC. 1t is asked to cover up infrmties hide
weaknesses, wink at quacks and aatter the
vain. 1t is, in short, to be all things to men;
and if it locks for any reward it is denounced
as mean and sordid. There is no interest un-
der the whole heavens that is expected to give
so much to society without pay or thanks as
tae press

"IF l were one of the pensioners
dropped" said a Californian lawyer,
in Washington on pleasure trip, "by
reason of the reversal of the construct
ion placed npon the disability not of
service origin" clause of the act of
1890 by Gen. Raum and ex-Secretary
Noble, | should appeal to the courts
for the proper construction Of that
law. do not pretend to say which
is right, but certainly both cannot be.
Ex-Secretary Noble is, l think, a bet
ter lawyer than Secretary Hoke Smith
and Gen Raum's reputation as law
yer is good, if not quite so high as
that Of Judge Lochren, his successor
at the head of the Pension office.
Noble and Raum put one construct
ion on this law and Smith and Loch-
ren another that is directly contrary.
Now the courts should be given a
whack at it."

SUMMER RESORT PROPERTY.

There are three gentlemen IN this
city two from Washington and one
from Indiana, who are capitalists and
are looking for investments in East
Tennessee dirt, not town property,
but "resort" and timber and mineral
lands.
There may be two dozen others
here on the same purpose, but tiree
are known. By "resort property is
is meant a section of unsual attractive
ness in the way of mountain scenery,
mineral springs, woodland, cloudland,
ETC., where there is a view of ever
changing beauty and the air is pure,
dry and invigorating; where every
condition is conducive to health and
twenty year addition to ones natural
life, just such place as tourist or a
summer home seeker is looking for,
where there is hunting and fishing;
where fresh milk, rich cream, delicious
butter, vegetables are furnished fresh
everyday; where nights are ever cool
and delicious and cause one to sleep
as the righteous should sleep.
/
There are ten thousand places in
East Tennessee and the poorest of
them would, if properly located by it
self in some of the northern pararie
states, be made famous as a resort for
a thousand miles in every direction.
1t is plain enough that East Ten
nessee is on the verge OF resort
boom, said well-known citizen yes
terday, while talking of the Tate's
springs reported sale. The special
attraction is that it is found to be a
latitude where summer resort can
be made more profitable than a north
ern resort, in that it can be made
an attractive winter resort, thus Civ
ing business of twelve months in
the year instead Of five.
The -Four Seasons hotel is the idea,
that everyone knows that the Ashc-
vile hotels do great business the
year round.
Northern capitalists are finding
these special features of East Tennes-
see out and it is not on special effort
of ours either.
AS to the present "stringenCy,'
there is far less actual stringency than
the public supposes. CAPITALISTS are
said to be making worlds of inquiries
but are trying to take advantage Of
the stringency racket to secure as
good terms as possible. That is all
right if they can work it, but it is very
apparent there is still plenty of money
seeking Investment. Knoxville Jour
nal.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-06-28

THERE were a number of Demo
Gratis last week in Washington, in
cluding several Congressman, who
are in open rebellion against so much
of the Chicago Democratic platform
as declared protection to be unconsti-
tutional. These Democrats not only
believe protection to be constitutional,
but that it is absolutely essential to
to the preservation of industries al
ready well established in the United
States, not to mention new ones.
They are citizens of Louisiana engaged
in sugar planting and they were there
to impress upon Mr.. Cleveland and
other Democrats who are to have a
hand in preparing the new tariff bill
the necessity for putting tariff of e
or two cents pound upon foreign
sugar, if the present bounty upon
Domestic sugar is to be abolished.
From the above it will be seen that
there will we Democrats fighting for
protection, as well as Democrats
fighting for free trade when Congress
takes up the tariff question.
