TREE GROWS HoARY.



Horse Chestnut Tree.
London Standard: Much interest has
been caused lately by the appearance
of q horse chestnut tree In the Thier-
garten, Berlin. The numerous branches
round the lower part OF the trunk
have q pure white foliage such as is
seen on trees growing in dark places,
where no chlorophyll can develop on
account of want of light. The same
whiteness OF the leaves is noticeable in
few OF the neighboring branches
through the crown to the top. The
singular appearance OF the tree has
been noticed regularly for some years.
This particular tree, 1t seems, had
been attracked by a swarm OF cater
pillars and other creatures of the same
species, and the foliage has already
been destroyed; but still masses of ca
terpillars continued to crawl up and
down the trunk, and finally chung
there in clumps. To preserve the beau

BURNING MOUNTAIN
In Colorado That Has Decn on Fire One

In Colorado That HAS Decn on Fire One
Hundred Years.
Newcastle, Colo, Special to Kansas
City World: A mountain. which has
been on fire for more than 100 years IL
situated just west of here. So close is
1t that Its shadow envelopes the town
at p. m, at this time of the year, and
yet the people hereabouts think no
more of 1t than the beautiful Grand
river which washes the feet OF the huge
pile where the fire has burned 30 long.
To the tenderfoot, however, the gilt
tering patches of deep red fire, where
| It breaks out on the side Of the noun
tain, and is exposed to view. there Is
nothing In all this state quite Its equal
The fire Is fed by big vein OF coal
which the mountain contains. Just
| how the coal became ignited Is not
known. The Oldest resident says 1t
was on fire when he came here, and the
Ute Indians, who once lived in this sec
ton, say 1t was burning many years
before the first white man crossed the
continental divide. The superstition IL
that the coal was ignited b. forest
| fire at an early date in the present CEN
fury. Il has smouldered and steadily
burned until this day. At night when
tho moon is dark is the best time to see
the fire. Then 1t Is that 1t resembles
tho regions OF inferno as given US IN
the word-painting OF Dante. The earth
covering the coal Is loosened by the
heat and falls away, exposing the sheet
OF fire. The escaping gas probably as
sists in stripping OF the rocks and dirt.
and wherever the vein OF coal ap-
| proaches the surface the fire can be
seen. The first fire I saw Tss fully 90
feet square. 1t had peculiar red tint,
while the burning gas coming up at the
base of the coal vein, added bright
blue coloring to the scene. In many
places the surface OF tho mountain has
sunken, showing where the fire has
burned out its course. Efforts have
been made to extinguish the fire. Some
time ago a company which owns a
large amount of coal land here, con-
structed ditch from point several
miles above the mountain into which
It succeeded in turning the water
which goes to form Elk creek. Previ.
ously q shaft had been sunk In the
mountain, and into this shaft the watei

they begin to build cotton mills. and
now each of them has found that q
mistake was made, and they have had
to provide themselves with such
schools or see the money, the millions
of dollars for wages, to officers and
operators for mills, 60 to i'm
ported managers and operatives, who
send what they save back TO their
northern homes. A bill passed the
senate of Mississippi two years ago for
textile school, but it met its death in
the house. That was a sad blow to
the state. The best thing the state
can do will be to repair, as nearly as
lies within It's power, the blow then
struck. This can be done, barring the
two years lost when the legislature
meets, by making an appropriation for
textile school That the Legislature
will do this, IL Is not given to business

In speaking of the Democratic State
convention, which will meet here in
the spring to select delegates to the
national Democratic convention. Gov.
MoLaurin said that, in his opinion,
there was no possible doubt that Mis-
sissippi would send up On overwhelm-
ing Bryan delegation. He docs
not think that there is possibility for
German boom or any other presiden-
tial boom, for that matter, to wean the
people Of the state from the conviction
that Bryan is the logical and necessary
nominee of the party for president.
AS far as the vice presidency is con-
cerned, there seems to be no fixed and
general opinion as to the most avail
able man. Gov. McLaurin is of the
opinion that the coming national con-
vention will practically reaffirm the
Chicago platform with the addition Of
new planks to meet later issues, such
as, for instance, a declaration against
expansion. The state convention will
| probably meet earlier than 1t did four
years ago to select delegates.

the failure Of the marriage and a

had placed her and is still at large.
