SUES THE ALLEMANNIA.
Merchants National Gets a Harvest
er Works Note.

er Works Note.
The Merchants National bank has
sued the Allemannia bank and Maurice
Auerbach, as it's receiver, and the wal
ter A. Wood Harvester works, and
Frank A. Seymour, Albert Lindeke and
P. s. Macgowan, as receivers thereon,
to secure the payment Of $4,575.11 on a
promissory note for $5,000 given by the
Wood Harvester works to the Allie
MAMMA bank in 1894, and in 1896 as
signed and indorsed to the plaintiff by
the Allemannia bank.
The complaint alleges that In July,
1894, the Wood Harvester works bor-
rowed $4,000 from the Allemannia panH
and gave the latter it's promissory note
for that amount; that the Wood Har-
yester works also deposited with the
Allemannia bank various notes aggre-
eating over $4,000 to be held by the
bank merely as collateral for the $1,000
note It is further alleged that from
time to time the Wood Harvester works
paid on account Of Its $1,000 note, the
sum of $4.57517 to the Allenannia bank.
but that the bank instead Of credbting
the payment on the note simply de-
posted it to a special account with the
harvester works. Subsequently the AL
lemannia bank assigned the note to the
plaintiff bank and the complaint al
leges that it was assured at the time
Of such assignment that the note nad
not been paid. The plaintiff therefore
asks that the receiver Of the Alle-
mamma bank be directed to pay over
to it the $4575.17 received from the
Walter A. Wood Harvester works as
part payment Of its note for $1,000.
In his answer to the complaint. Re-
ceiver Auerbach admits that, prior to
his appointment as receiver, the bank
had received $4.575.17 from the Wood
Harvester works. but that the money
so received was mingled with the other
assets Of the bank and never came into
his possession as receiver.

Pm lncombustibIe Tree.

A Government report from Colom-
bia contains description of q tree,
known as the thaparro, which is said
to possess the quality of being fire
proof. It grows on the vast plains OF
Colombia and the north of South
America, called savannas, extensive
districts which are parched with heat
except during the rainy season.
It has long been the custom to clear
the ground for the new vegetation
which springs up so. luxuriantly on
these plains after the rainy season by
means of fres-.and such fires, miles
in extent, kindled By the herdsmen,
destroy everything in the shape of
vegetation, except.the chapparo tree,
which survives to afford welcome
shade in an almost treeless region.
It is a small tree, seldom growing
to more than twenty feet in heig ght,
with girth of about three feet, and it
owes it's protection from fire to the ma
ture of its hard, thick bark. The
bark lies on the trunk in loose layers,
which do not readily conduct heat to
the more delicate parts of the struc-
ture. 1t is general idea among the
natives that this tree grows only
where gold is abundant in the soil be-
low. That it is common in auriferous
districts is indisputable, but there IS
no ground for supposing that it does
not grow elsewhere.-The Manufac-
turar
