BotanistS and entomologists know
that dead swamp, or dead tree, stand
ing near living trees is a source of peril
to them by furnishing Il refuge and
breeding-place for timber-borers and
other Injurious insects. Trees as we'll
as men, need hygienic surroundings.
In Mexico and our Southwestern

Two writers in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, Messrs. Garrett and
Iceberg, offer evidence that there is Il,
progressive drying of the climate on the!
Pacific coast Atno very remote period
some of the arid plains of eastern Ore
Son were evidently covered with for
ests of trees resembling existing spa-
cieS nearer the coast. Mr.. Garrett thinks
that with the clearing away of the pres
ent forests the end Of the redwood as Il
source of lumber will be at hand, be-
cause existing conditions do not favor
its growth.
The London Optician reproduceS the

In France, Mons. Lcboyer trying to
solve the problem of how to make pho
tographS permanent and free from all
change. has reSOrted to the plan of
firing" them in Il furnace upon enam-
eled stone. lie finds that the best stone
for the purpose is the basalt found in
prlsms in the extinct volcanic district
of central France. This rock. which is
extremely hard and fine grained. re-
ceiveS the enamel without cracks. The
Photographic film is deposited on the
enameled surface, and after the photo

the image becomes unalterably incor-

At the latest annual meeting of the
Geological Society of America Prof. |.
{. Russell called attention tOthe recent
discovery that many of the swampS.
and lakes in the southern peninsula of:
Michigan are rich in calcareous mari.
suitable for making Portland cement,
Although partly composed of shells. the,
Michigan mari Is principally chemi-'
cal precipitate which is still being
formed. The precise method of its for
nation is not yet understood The sup
ply is practically ineXhaustible. Large
cement works have lately been con
Structed. others are In contemplation.
and Prof. Russell says that Michigan
can easily take Il leading place in that
industry.

The first census returns to come in
Ilast ten years has been in the Border
land about the big citics-iust outside
lthe heart of the town, but not far
enough to be in the country. The troll
ley car is probably responsible for this
development. 1t has made possible the
thick pe0pling of land which was for
,merly too far out for the homes of per-
sons whose daily work was in the city.
Anything that reduces the pressure
upon land in the great cities is to be
welcomed, for fresh air and sunlight
are the prime nrcesSarieS of life.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, September 6.-Wheat
broke badly early to-day, but partially
recovered later on the export business,
October closing Zee under yesterday.
Corn closed &c higher and oats 15c
lower.
Provisions at the close were un-
changed to 10c lower.
Wheat opened steady; October I'M
changed at 1890, and soon after with
the market touched 74c on moderate
general demand. This. however, prov
ed to be the highest price OF the day.
Receipts were heavy and there appear
ed TO be every prospect OF their con-
tinuance for some time. There was a
good outside demand but it was not
sufficient to absorb the offerings which
soon began pouring into the pit. Not
until October had touched 7234c did the
line show any signs OF improvement.
A good export demand was brought out
by the slump, and this was the main
influence in the rally TO 1880 which
followed. The close was steady, Octo-
Der 1ac under yesterday Seaboard
clearances in wheat and flour were 3l0,-
600 bushels New York reported II
loads taken for export. Sales here
were 200, 900 bushels Primary receipts
aggregated 1,247 900 bushels, compared
with i,154 900 bushels the correspond
ing day last year Minneapolis and
Duluth reported sos cars. against 343
last week and TH year ago. Local
receipts were 4S3 cars, "a of contract
grade.
Corn was quiet but firm. Firm cables
and light country offerings were the
sustaining factors. Receipts here were
346 cars. October sold between 3Sc and
$685. @3Sisc. and closed 1sc higher at
Ss1sc.
Cats ruled dull and absolutely bare
of any speculative interest The abb
sence CT the usual early offerings by
receivers was a noticeable feature. Oc-
tober sold between 21as and 21Ac, clos
ing &c lower at 21Ae. Receipts were
413 cars.
Provisions were quiet and easier.
The cash demand was still excellent,
but throughout the session there was a
moderate, general liquidation. Heavy
hog receipts had a depressing effect.
October pork sold between $3.50 and
S1O9T15. and closed 1oc lower at 5000;
October lard between s5.621s and $3.50,
closing 7l2Q1ec lower at ss.65G6 .6Tiir;
and October ribs between s705 and
$40. with the close unchanged at sT.05.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 80 cars; corn, $40 cars; oats,
345 cars; hogs. $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

did want the city to involve itself in
so much debt at present, and the matter
dropped. Just the feeling now is hard
to learn, owing to the lack of interest
shown, but as the time comes nearer
for the next Council meeting it is most
likely that the people will become
more aroused. The present city build
ing is a poor one, and If the citizens
think they can afford to build new
one allow them to render the decision.
