A P. Anderson, of the State Uni
versity of Minnesota, by long series
of experiments, finds the pumpkin
does most ofits growing after 7 o'clock
in the evening, and diminishes it's act
ivity as the sun rises and begins to
act upon the leaves. From 9 o'clock
in the morning until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon the weight of the fruit d.
minishes, owing to the evaporation of
water from the leaves of the plant.
The general results show that when
the fruit grows most the vine grows
least, and vice versa.
Bishop Thomas, one of the first
white men to stand on the cliff of the
falls of the Redwood, and who con-
firmed class here in 1898, died of
consumption at Salina, Kansas, last
Saturday evening. Bishop Thomas
came up into the Minnesota valley in
the eos and struck the falls of the
Redwood with his party at that time.
When here last he recalled a
prediction that he then made: II
stand on spot which is destined to
be one of the prettiest spots in the
garden of Minnesota at some future
time"
Members of the Chautauqua circle
and few invited friends enjoyed an
Emerson programme at S. J. Races,
last Monday evening. Miss Beecher
opened with a biographical sketch full
of interest, and was followed by Judge
Bowers, who read extracts from En-
erson's lecture on Plato, whom he
characterized as Emerson's ideal man.
Mr.. Race concluded with observations
on Emerson's literary work, embody
ing citations from his poems, in the
} absence of Mr.. Sinclair, to whom En-
: erson's poetry had been assigned. The
president voiced the sentiment of the
: circle in saying that he liked Mr..
8 Races translation of Emerson better
e than reading it in the original. The
s next meeting of the circle will be with
S Mrs. Beecher.
