Characteristics Of plants.

Times at which different plants
open and shut their petals have been
investigated, and 1t IL commonly
found that the hour varies according
to the amount Of moisture in the air.
The main thing is to protect the pol
len from invading moisture, and since
some plants, such as the pimpernel,
promptly close their petals on the near
approach Of rain they serve as wealth
or glasses. Some plants seem to believe
in a short days work, the plmpernel,

ing and closing at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon, the goatsbeard on the

THE COUNTIES MAY CONTEST
Pima and Santa Cruz Counties Likely to Oppose Payment of Interest on Narrow Gauge Bonds

The Tucson Star states that the boards of supervisors of Pima and Santa Cruz counties held a joint ses- sion in Tucson last Friday, and dis cusSed the several issues affecting the two counties in the narrow gauge bond matter.
 The narrow gauge bOndholders now claim interest on these bonds from Julyl, 1883, to and including the 18th of January, 1903. It is the conten- ton of the supervisors that inasmuch as these bonds were lifeleSs until vali- dated by the act of congress of June, 1896, there certainly ought to be no in- tereSt charged prior to the latter date. | is also thought that the board Of loan commissioners has exceeded its powers in granting the order requiring that levy be made for raising funds for the satisfaction of this entire bond issue. II that should prove to be the case, it is more than likely that 500, 900 would be saved to the two counties by a proper legal resistance of the order. Roscoe Dale, district attorney of Pima county, will leave for the east shortly and will consult New York attorneys of prominence in bond litigations on this point.
 The question of retaining Mark Smith to endeavor to geta bill through congress to compel the government to reimburse the counties of Pima and Santa Cruz for losses sustained in the matter of these bonds also came before i the joint meeting. It was stated that ! Mr. Smith was willing to enter into a l contract with the board under which he would make the effort entirely at his own expense and in the event that he was unsuccessful the counties would pay him nothing. In the event of MT. Smith securing the passage of the de. sired act, the counties would pay him 2 per cent of the amount saved. Ac. ton on this proposition was deferred pending the report of District Attor, ney Dale after his return from New | York.
