Status of Cedar Rapids Strike.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, May S.-The strike
of machinists on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern continues with
out change. The men who struck
have been organized into a union and
are being given substantial assistance.
More than $1,000 a week is being dis
tributed among them. The men say
that the tiremen and switchmen on the
Cedar Rapids system are ready to go
out in sympathy with them if it is
necessary for the success of their
strike and they assert that they will
be able to hold out until the company
complies with their demands. The
officials of the company assert that
they have secured $50 new men since
the beginning Of the strike and that
they are not hampered by the strikers.

What proved to be a happy deliv-
erance from death occurred at the
farm home of Jacob Bauer, three or
four miles southeast of town, last
Friday morning. Mrs. Bauer had
gone down into the cave to skim
the milk for the calves, and by the
way that cave is a very deep and
wide one, and is covered with a
ponderous weight of dirt and brick
and timbers, and the good lady had
finished her task, came on the out
side and was turning around to
close the door. when, with a ire
mendous crash, the whole top and
sides of the cave fell in. Had Mrs.
Bauer been but a few moments
later in coming out OF the cave, she
must certainly have been crushed
into an unrecognizable mass, for
her husband informs us that the
debris was piled so high that no
human hand could have reached
her in time to have saved her life.
1t was a happy ~deliverance from
death, and her friends are exceed
ingly glad of it.

SCIENCE NOTES.

DR.. A. d. Waller states in a recent
paper, that he is able to tell whether
a bean is alive by its peculiar response
to electric stimulus. If dead it fails
to respond. His method of distin-
gushing is to place the bean between
d pair of moist electrodes and sending
an electric discharge through the
same. After the impulse the bean
electrodes are connected to a sensi-
tive galvanometer, and If the bean is
alive it will give a relatively strong
discharge, usually in the direction of
the stimulus. Sometimes the test kills
the bean, but sometimes it may be
made to grow. The electric current
from the bean may gradually diminish
during half an hour after a sudden
rise at the beginning. This experiment
gives an opportunity to approach the
problem of the relation Of life and eiec-
tricity from a new standpoint. The
peculiar manifestations and the vari-
GUS forms of energy into which cleo
tricity can be transformed have given
the hope that there may be a close
relationship between this subtle ener-
gy and life force

FREEZING in Plants.

In Science ]. B. Dandeno finds that
at the maximum density of water the
water in the cell of plant begins to
expand while the cell wall continues
to contract as cooling goes on. This
contraction will extrude water into the
intercellular spaces. When the freez-
ing point is reached the water in the
intercullular spaces freezes first be-
cause less dense than the contents
OF the cell. The capitalization out
side the cell gives off latent heat which
tends to keep the eek contents from
freezing for a considerable time. FL
nally also the cell contents may be
frozen. but only after nearly all the
water has been expressed into the In
tercellular spaces.

MIDDLEsEX BANKING COMPANY
A Good Record for the Past Eight
Years:

A Good Record for the Fast Eight
Years.
During the years 1898 to 1900, inclu-
sive, the Middlesex Banking company
of Middletown, has met maturlties of
principal amounting to more than 49,
600 600 and of interest amounting to
more than So 100000, promptly upon pre-
sentation of the bonds and coupons rep
resentine that amount, or upon call for
payment before maturity. OF the lat
ter the amount so called by the com
pany has been in excess of 81. 800, 900.
During this period of eight years there
have been offered for sale non-matured
obligations of the company estimated at
at least 81 100000, such offerings hav-
ing been induced by the financial needs
of the owners, the settlement of estates
or the conditions of panic existing dur
ing a par. Of this period
Although many of these offerings
have been pressed upon the market by
the needs or fears of owners, and al
though the price has not been sustained
or supported except by the reputation
and record of the company, the discount
from the face value of the bonds so sold
has represented, on the average, so far
as can be learned, only fair commits
sion to the brokers negotiating the
sales, and a market has been found for
the bonds.
