Suit For Loss Of Shade Tree.

Quite a novel suit has just been
decided in the Common Pleas
Court of Pittsburg. A gentleman
sued the City Of Allegheny for 81. 500
damages for the loss of a shade tree,
said to have been killed by an cleo
tric light wire. Experts testified
that direct currents might injure the
tree, but in this case an alternating
current was used. The plaintiff tried
to show that the wire had worn into
the woody fibres and sap. He does
not seem to have established his
case for the jury found for the de-
fendant. Experiments will now be
made with alternate and direct cur
rents to determine the effect they
will have on vegetation.

Legend of the MlstIetos.

A myth of the middle ages says
that before the crucifixion of Christ
the mistletoe was a forest tree but
owing to its supplying the wood
for the cross, it fell into disgrace
and became mere parasite as a
lasting memorial of its ignominious
use.
