the return of strikers to work in
the Great Western shops last
night and the discharge of the
non-unionists. As soon as the
.non-union men employed in the
shops heard that settlement had
been affected they at once called
for their time and started for the
depot, only to be met by an angry
crowd of the strikers and town
sympathizers, beaten, dubbed
and chased like 80 many dogs.
The strikers all along have been

parties have been arrested. 10

cient to kill lesves, greatly facili-
tate their coloration by causing au
increase within them of normal
chemical ferment, which attacks
the color compounds or color gen,
orator in the cells. We are find.
ing that the oxidation of these
color compounds by the ferment
causes the various shades OF color,
especially the puppies, oranges,
etc. The yellows are normally
present in the lesf.
Autumn leaves containing
sugar, such as the naples, sumacs,
gums, etc, easily oxodize, and
thus form the rich reds, purples
and violsts so beautiful to the eve.
That is why these, especially the
hard naples, give the most beau-
tlful autumn leaves. Autumnal
oak leaves do not attract admira-
tlon because they contain much
tannin. The oxidation Of tannic
acid is dirty brown. Leaves which
die quickly do not give autumnal
colors."
The most gorgeous autumn
leaves, according to Mr. Woods,
are produced by long-drawn-out
fall, whose days gradually cool
from summer heat to winter snow.
But if the frost should come early
and the weather should be un-
even we need not expect the true
autumnal splendors. a heavy,
sudden and early frost would kill
all leaves alike and turn them to
a monotonous brown.
Crimson aud scarlet autumn
leaves, the most beautiful of all,
are more abundant in the cooler
parts of this country than else

beautlfy only the landscape of
their native cline.
The East is much more produce
tive of beautiful autumn tints than
is the West, according to botan-
lists. Their explanation for this

East has its beneficial effects.
