bridge between four and five miles south
OF Lincoln, Neb., shortly after 10 O clock
last Thursday night Eight persons are
known to have been killed and five were
burned to death The train, which was
local, composed Of an engine and
combination car, went over the bridge,
the coach being suspended on the trestle,
and only two passengers and brakeman,
who We're in the end of the coach are in

unfortunate if this old feud is to be con
tinued in the Seventh district. The Re

CURIOUS PLANT PROPAGATION.
How Branches are Removed From the
Parent stem.

IAreDt STEM
Some very curious processes forprop-
Agation are practiced at the public gar
oens. One consists in cutting with a
knife around a branch or a plant. One
might imagine, says the Washington
Star. that the intention was 20 kill
the branch. but such is by no means
the obiec; in view. The cut having
been made. piece of wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch
nj the point. Beneath this protection
.he sap exudeS FROM the wound. and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few DAYS the branch is cut away from
the parent stem. being then itself a
complete plant. with roots already to
put in a pot.
This plan is adopted with plants OF
slow growth, because one plant may
thus be split up into hall a dozen OF
more Of good SIZE, instead of waiting
for seeding or little slip TO develop
A modification of the same process
consists in placing q small pot full o.
earth around the cut place on The
branch. fastening il in position. WheI
roots have developed the branch is Gu
off Just below the pot and new plan
is produced. II the gardener choose
to take the trouble he can make sep
arate plant ont of every bud on a tree
In fact. an eminent botanist has SAT-
that every tree is a village, each but
being an individual.

To the South Pole.

Dr. John Murray's proposed expe-
dition to the South pole is attracting
favorable attention in Europe. 1t is
more than fifty years since James
Ross. after discovering Victoria,
penetrated to the 18th degree south
latitude, and since then, with the
exception OF the Challenger, hardly
a vessel has gone that way. The
present proposal is indirectly due to
the reports brought back by couple
of Scotch whalers which in 1891
went southwark OF Cape Horn in
their search for fresh hunting
grounds. Dr. Murray believes in
the existence at the South pole Of a
continent as: large as Australia. in
which are to be studied the two
great phenomena Of glaciat;on and
volcanic action.
