It VIII Remain Whole While Wood
Rots Away.
1t does not seem to have been noted
that bark resists the destructive power
of the elements to a much greater de-
gree than the woody substance. An
interesting illustration of this came
before the writer recently. A large
block of greenhouses was erected some
twenty-five years ago, and on piece OF
ground on which had been grown large
quantities of Usage orange plants, the
roots of which penetrated deeply in the
ground. On the removal of these green
houses recently, these old roots Of the
Usage orange were found to be still in
existence SO far as the bark which en-
closed them was concerned-but the
wood which the bark enclosed had de-
cayed entirely away, leaving huge
lengths of bark-like hollow pipes
pushing through the clay. 1t fur
nished new thought as to the man
ner in which water is conveyed
through the soil--hollowed roots, o
rather roots represented by the BAR
furnishing excellent conduits by whic
water can easily pass to great depth
in the ground.

Near Cheltenhnm, England. is
small village named Chosen. and there
one Sunday IN the little church
preached a new vicar. Possibly in in
nocence, or it may be to please the
good village folk, he gave out as ms
text the words:
"And make all thy chosen people
joyful"
Before he had time to begin his SER

THE SKELETON OF AN EXTINCT MONSTER
spraying gait, like lizard or
crocodile. The head is much like that
of a salamander, or even frog.
1t is very difficult to say what the
animal itself was most like, but 1t
probably was amphibious. Altogether
it is strange and now wholly extinct
type, with n resemblance to q sala-
mander, and yet in some ways aping a
mammal or modern quadruped. 1t
belongs to an ancient period of the
worlds history, the period OF the
Trias, or New Red Sandstone. and has
been named Pariasaurus Baini. II
was found in the Karoo formation,
near Tamboer Fonticn.

Is interpreted by the statisticians to
mean that the city has gained In the
last year about hundred Thousand

their taxes. These figures, too, are
borne out by the reports for last year

increases with the population. Inc

Abraham Ridgeway, near RED Hl!

killed while dressing in his room for
church. The particulars are meaSfe
but a hoy, Louis Hartman, who was IN
the room with Ridgeway, says he was
rubbing up the weapon when IT was dis
charged, the ball entering Ridgewly' S
heart and producing instant death. Hart
man said subsequently that the pistol
was I'm Ridgeway's hands when IT eX-
ploded. The bereaved father has asked
for a warrant for the boy, but it is be-
lievcd that the affair was purely acci-
dental.

oyster men have claimed that the fisheries
Of the sound were the Joint possession OF
the citizens Of the two states, claim
that has OF late years been disputed at
the cannon's mouth by Virginia. Judge
Huges read the decision.
The petitions OF Wharton ana Nelson
were disallowed and the prisoners remand
ed to the custody OF the sheriff OF Ac-
conlac county
The opinion held that the Pocomoke
river does not include Pocomoke Sound or
bay. and support this view by reference 10
the Black-Jenkins award. The SOUND IS
ninety-fve miles I'm area and contains the
most valuable oyster beds in the oyster
bearing waters Of Maryland and Virginia.
The question arose IN the United states

Virginia upon the petitions Of w. W

Virginia and who were brought into court

In the Potomac river the common right

MARYLAND oystermen have claimed the
same right In the Pocomoke. In con-
sequence they have sailed ovel the line
fixed by the Black-Jenkins commission
I'm 1877. and have been fought back 10y
the Virginia oyster police. When cap
tured they have been fined before Nir-
einIa courts. Notwithstanding the fact
that they held that citizens of each
state. under the compact Of 1885. had The
right 10 be tried In their own State courts.
The bloody collisions between oystermen
I'm the Pocomoke became so frequent
that the States were forced TO take con-
troll OF them.

Of the United States would be accepted

by Attorney General Poe. Had the
