Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-09-19

RuMBIINGs from southwark indi-
cate that there Is anger deep and
dire at Darlington because of the
TRlBUNE's complaint that the people
OF that town failed to reciprocate, at
our recent fair, the generous treat
ment they have time and again re-
ceived from Mineral Point. 1t Il re-
ported that the TRIBUNE Is to be
"brought to bar" by the Darlington
papers this week, and that we are to
be confronted with the fact that there
were oeer "A hundred tickets sold at
Darlington station for Mineral Point
during the week of our fair, whereas
the TRIBUNE stated the number OF
tickets sold there to have been icss
than one hundred. We await the
fall of the deinollshing thunderbolts
with becoming awe-.let 'em come.
Our devoted hend Is bowed to meet
the blast.

Frost, and Plant Damage.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
What causes frost, and what Is the diff
ference between frosted and frozen
plants?
Are frosts heavier and more damaging
TO vegetation On a clear still, dry night
Tor day. than under damp or moist con-
ditions Of the atmosphere or ground?
Some planters and tobacconists contend
that the late frost did more damage in
the same vicinity on low grounds than on
high land-to all appearances; others that
1t was worse on dry land than in other
places, and others still that frost shows
most on vegetation that is greenest, and
least on that with the least sap. Hence
these queries. ID. i. i.
The frost that forms on plants Is due
to the fact that the plant gives up its
own heat until its surface has cooled
down to the freezing point. and often
times below the freezing point. when the
moisture In the adjacent air. and that
which escapes from the pores Of the plant.
is condensed and frozen upon IT. II the
air Is very dry, so that the plant has to
cool down much below the freezing point
before the moisture OF the air can con-
dense, then we have frozen plant with
out any white frost on the surface. The
freezing Is more opt to occur on clear.
still, dry night than under moist condi-
lions of the atmosphere or ground, but
the quantity Of white frost deposited is
not so great in very dry air as in moist
seasons.
The damage done to plants by frost or
freeze depends upon the stage Of growth
of the plant and the quantity OF sap
within It. In interior climates more dam
age Is done In the low lands than on the
high lands. partly because the plants are
more tender and partly because the cold
air sinks into the low lands and the
freezing IL more severe. So much de-
ponds upon the condition Of the plant and
the nature Of its surroundings that 1t may
easily happen that some dry places will
suffer more than other moist places, but
in general the plants. or branches or
leaves having most sap suffer the most.

Parliamentary Point.


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
VIII you please give your decision on
the following question, with authority
quoted to sustain it,:
Section Of Article z OF the bylaws
OF a certain lodge says that upon the
death Of the wife of brother In GOOD
standing the brother shall be paid $50
from the funds of the lodge. y member
offers to amend this bylaw by striking
out $50 and inserting $50. After lying on
the table for TWO weeks, according 10
the laws Of the lodge, the amendment
comes up for action. II. offers to amend
this amendment by striking out $50 and
inserting $40. After discussion OF TINS
amendment the question Is put, ana tne
$40 amendment is lost. The presiding OH
Ger announces that the so amendment Is
lost, and proceeds 10 put the question
on the original amendment. without first
asking Are you ready for the question:
In the mean time 9. has risen to dis
cuss the original amendment; but j.
calls C. to order. and says that the origi-
nal amendment Is not debatable. II.
claims that It is, but the presidng-ofiicer
decides against him. and puts the ques-
ton, thus cutting off debate or the Offer
ing of Substitute.
What is the law on the subject?
Respectfully, II.
Our correspondent says that when the
question on agreeing to the amendment
to the bylaw, which was to strike out $50
and insert so. came up, a motion was made
to amend the amendment by substituting
$40 for $50, and this amendment was lost
The question should have been then on
agreeing to strike out $50 and insert $50.
and the pres!ding-officer need not have
asked. Are you ready for the question:
before he put it. II no one is occupying
the floor. or wishes to occupy 1t, the pre-
siding officer naturally puts the question.
He had a right to decide that the origi-
nal amendment was not debatable, and
in the absence of an appeal and an over.
ruling of the Chair his decision stands.
In cases where an original amendment
is not debatable all incidental questions
arising after 1t is stated should be de-
cided and settled. whether on appeal or
otherwise, without debate.

MMDIvXCIX Is not written in the u.s.

So MMlM, while 1t might. by the law
