How a Plant Ha. Travelled.

Less than l25 years ago the little
plant known to the botanists as Le-
pachys columnaris was only known to
inhabit a small section of country in
the very southern portion of Louisi-
ana. Some time later it was reported
as occurring sparingly along the Cana
dian river, and later still on the Arkan-
saS. Since that time it has slowly
spread north, west and east, even to
the very source of the Missouri. over
into the British possessions and is now
said to be creeping along the Saskatch-
avian toward Hudson bay. How n
plant which originated in a warm eli
mate could accustom itself to such
changes is another of natures mys-
teries.-St Louis Republic.

The New Orleans Picayune prints n
table of the land barons of Louisiana
and their holdings of unimproved tim

appears that alien syndicates, compa-

100000 acres. One syndicate claims
100000 acres, several possess 100000
and more and holdings of from &C. 900
to $4,000 acres are not uncommon.
Most of this land is owned in the west
ern states, but to capitalists Of New
York and Philadelphia several hun
dred thousand acres belong.
The Picayune explains that origin
ally the United States owned all of
the lands in Louisiana other than those
which al the time OF the cession bv
France were held by private persons
or corporations. subsequently what
were known as swamp lands, I'll at is to
say, lands that were subject TO tidal
overflow from the sea or were annu-
ally flooded by the Mississippi, became
the property of the state, with the
provision thatit should. sell them for
the purpose of raising a fund to build
levees, A considerable territory, con-
