Mig Trees of California Serve ms Such
to the Surrounding
Country.

"Why," II will be asked, "are the big
/ tree groves always found on well-wa-
tered spots?" Simply because big
trees give rise TO strea ms, says John
Muir, in Atlantic. 1t IS a mistake 10
suppose that the water is the cause
Of the groves being there. On the CON
trary, the groves are the cause of the
water being there. The roots of this
immense tree fill the ground, forming
sponge which boards the bounty Of
the clouds and sends it forth in clear
perennial streams instead Of allowing
it TO rush headlong in short-lived, de-
structive foods. Evaporation is also
checked and the air kept still in the
shady sequoia depths, while thirsty
robber winds are shut out. The
value Of these forests in storing and
dispensing he bounty Of the mountain
clouds is infinitely greater than lum-
Der or sheep. TO the dwellers of the
plain. dependent on irrigation. the big
tree is a tree of life, a neyer-faiIing
spring, sending living water to the low
lands all through he hot rainless sum-
mer. For every grove cut down
stream is dried up, Therefore all Cali
fornia Is crying: Save the trees Of
the fountains." nor. judging by the
signs Of the times, Is it likely that the
cry will cease until the salvation Of all
that is left Of Seuuoia Gigantea is sure.

Honor to the State.

One of the youngest instructors of the
University Of Minnesota has given the
institution the highest scientific honor it
has. received in years
Harold L. Lyon, instructor in botany,
by good fortune and hard work has es-
tablished the position of nelumbo, or
sacred bean, Minnesota's largest water
lilly, in the plant world. In so doing he
has overthrown the classification of the
French school of systematic botany,
which includes the most learned botan-
lists Of the world.
The nelumbo is cream colored water
lily. of the largest variety in Minnesota.
1t is otherwise known as tie sac. ed bean.
1t is found in abundance Al 4Aalstead' 8
Bay, Lake Minnetonka, and it is from
this place that the university obtains it's
specimens. The plant has always
puzzled scientists. for. owing to certain
peculiarities which it possesses in early
stages of growth, it has not been classi-
fled satisfactorily.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct 3o.-Leon F.
Czolgosz' body has lost its identity
in the dust of the tomb. Not many
hours time has elapsed since the as
sassin of President Mckinley, defiant
to the last, was led to the electrocu-
ton chair and executed for his crime.
But in this short time acids have
done their work upon the remains of
the assassin and there is not vestige
of his flesh or bone remaining in the
unmarked grave in the prison ceme-
terry about which guards keep silent
but unrelenting vigil.
Such is the fate of the despised an
archist, who on September 6, less than
two months ago, shot down the presi-
dent of the nation at the Buffalo ex-
position. His clothing has been
burned and there survives only the
letters he received in prison, which
will be kept as clews to anarchists,
and the record that he paid the laws
extreme penalty after short incar-
ceration in a condemned mans cell.

Big Fire Policy.

The Northern Pacific yesterday receiv-
ed from the railway underwriters one of
the largest insurance policies ever writ
ten in the United States. Its total was
S13. 100000. 1t is the largest single policy
the company ever gave. In addition to
the above, the company has also insured,
out of its own fund, a large amount of
property. the total being about Sc, 600, 900,
making a total insurance just provided
for of $4,000, ,0OO
The insurance covers all property which
is destroyable by fire, and includes roll
ing stock, merchandise in transit, ware
houses. depot buildings. shops. round
houses. etc. Insurance on railroad prop
erty is considered a good risk, conse-
quently the amount paid in premiums
was comparatively low.
The Northern Pacific's insurance fund
at the close Of the last fiscal year, June
20. 1901. was S578.326, an increase over the
preceding year of $52.391.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Attorney General Douglas Makes a
Ruling.
He Holds that the Death of John S. Pills.
bury Does Not Create Vacancy
in Board of Regents.

Attorney General Douglas has ruled
that the death of former Governor John
S. Pillsbury has created no vacancy on
the board of regents of the state uni
yersity. The opinion was given at the
request of Governor Van SAINT, and in It
Mr.. Douglas says:
The general purpose of the legislature
was to, honor Mr.. Pillsbury by making
him life member of this board. In
stead of passing separate enactment
to accomplish this purpose, the legisla-
ture amended the then existing law Great
ing the board, and thereby made Mr.
Pillsbury an honorary member having the
same powers as other MEMBERS and in
cidentally changed the total number to
thirteen.
The second paragraph provides spe-
cfhcally for the appointment of nine
other members not specially designated
in the act. If the act is construed as con-
tinuing the total number of thirteen
members after the death of Mr. Pills
bury, the provision referred to authoriz-
ing the appointment of nine members for
a specific term, of necessity must be con-
strued as authorizing the appointment of
ten members, one of whom shall serve
for another and different term than pro-
vided by the act in question. The clause
in the act quoted. to-wit:
Whenever a vacancy therein occurs
for any cause the same shall be filled
for the unexpfred term in the same man
ner,' can have no reference whatever, in
my judgment. to the term of Mr. Pills
bury, which the legislature provided
should continue during his good pleasure
If this clause is given any effect what
ever, 1t must be deemed as having refer
ence to the power of the legislature,
which is supreme in the premises y
