The Water Tree.

NJ. Ducharte recently made known to the French Academy of Sciences the re- suits of an experiment made by M Max ime Lecomte in Congo upon tree of the genus Musenga. Upon making incislon in the trunk of it and placing pail at the foot of the tree, more than ten quarts of pure water collected in thirteen hours. The gorillas, it seems. are in the habit of slaking their thirst at these hidden foun- tains. and regulate the flow at will by pulling off different sized branches. Many years ago Dr. Wallich found in the province of Martaban, Africa, plant be- longing to the same natural order, whose soft and porous wood discharged. when wounded very large quantity of pure and tasteless fluid, which was quite wholesome. and was used as beverage by the natives. This plant was named by pr Wallich the water vine, and has been placed in the genus Phytocrene which signifies plant fountain" These plants form remarkable exception to the usual character of the order, which embraces species that produce milky juice-such. for example as the COW tree, or Palo de Naca of South America, which yields
 copious supply of a rich and wholesome milk as good that of the cow, and used for the same purpose. Opinion.

MURDER IN CAROLINE.
\ Fourteen Year Old School
Girl Outraged and Killed.

Fourteen-yearold Sallie Dean. Of
Harmony, Caroline County, started to
school one day last week but never got
there. When she failed to return
home on time, search was made and
she was found in thicket about half
way between her home and school with
her throat cut. For several DAYS the
authorities were unable TO ascertain by
whom the awful crime was committed.
Finally detectives were called in. A
young blacksmith named Price volun.
teered to help the detectives. He had
lots of theories TO advance and dreamed
how the murder was committed. The
detectives soon realized Price was the
murderer himself, so they arrested him.
He declared himself innocent, but since
he has been taken to Baltimore for
safe keeping admits he was connected
with the crime but claims that Grant
Corchran, young school teacher, lead
HIM into an attempt TO assault the girl
and when the girl threatened to tell on
them Cochran cut her throat with a
razor which he took from Prices vest
pocket rs he kneeIed beside his victim.
Corchran has been arrested and carried
to Baltimore. Hedenies any knowledge
OF the crime. He is modest, gentle
manly fellow and the people of Caroline
county believe he is entirely innocent.
He is the son Of Solomon Corchran
who was deputy postmaster at Salisbury
about ten years ago, and shortly after.
ward moved to Caroline. There is
little doubt but what Price will hang
for his brutal crime. He is of good
family and has been married about one
year. On Thursday Corchran was
released from custody by order of the
States Attorney.
