The Ascent of Tree San

The problem of the ascent of sap in
trees, an English botanist points out.
Is yet unsolved. 1t appears that in the
highest trees the total pressure would
be nearly 100 atmospheres, and as we
cannot suppose that leaves can exert
so intense osmotic suction, the only
theory at all probable is that the living
cells exert some sort of pumping &C

COUNTY HELD TO PAY.
Bridge Accident Suit in Iowa Sets
Precedent.

Precedent.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Oct ga
jury at Montezuma, Poweshiek county
has Just awarded Joseph Slaughter
$4,000 damages against the county OF
Jasper, from whence the case was
transferred on a change of venue. The
outcome is important from the fact
the case is one of more than half
dozen growing out of the same acct
dent, and in which the aggregate dam
ages demanded amount to more than
$4,000
Slaughter and others were taking a
heavy traction engine across bridge
which spanned a small stream near
Newton. The engine went through
and one man, Clarence Campbell, was
killed while Joseph Slaughter was so
badly injured that he has since been
paralyzed from the waist down. Sever
al others were hurt or suffered prop
erty losses.
If the verdict is sustained in the SUI
preme court the county having given
notice of appeal, and the other cases
follow the precedent, Jasper county
stands to pay a large sum in damages
and costs. The county in it's appeal,
will contend it had no better means of
knowing whether the bridge was safe
than the plaintiff did, while the latter
will contend that the average life of
such a bridge is tx years. whereas the
one in question mad been in use nine
years. Campbells parents will sue for
$4,000 and Slaughters parents will ask
$4,000 on the ground that they have
been deprived of his services.

FOR A SPECIAL WATER COMMITS

Prefers n State Water COmmiss,on-EI-
poets 4 Police Reorganization Bill
and Says Generally the City Admins
tration Can Get Anything In Reason.

Gov, Higgins was in town yesterday.
While he was here he said that this city
could depend on the present session OF the
Legislature TO pass any reasonable bills
which might he demAnd ed by the admin
istration He was not prepared to say,
however, what the chances were for the
passing OF the bills already sent TO Albany,
bills. for instance, affecting water supply,
the police and the municipal lighting plant.
He was dsinolined TO predict what would
become OF these bills, for the reason. he said
that it would seem like prejudgipg matters
which would come to him after action by
the Legislature.
He did indicate, though. that he was
not In favor OF Mayor McClelan's bill for
the appointment OF a water commission
10 condemn land in any part Of the State
for new water supplies for this city. Il
am in favor he said. of a State water
commission because this water question
not only affects the CITY, but the whole
State OF New York
Il think 1t would be wiser to pass bill
for the creation OF a State commission TO
recommend the apporionment OF the water
supply sources among the populous centres
II the city can find sources within the city
limits let 1t 20 head and develop them but
| think il would be hardly fair to allow the
city. to injure sources which may be properly
regarded as belonging to some other part OF
tho State"
Gov. Higgins said that nothing had
been definitely determined upon with
regard Co the suggestions for changes
in the Raines Hotel law. and he made a
similar reply when asked az to the pos
sibility Of the passage OF Mayor McClellan's
municipal lighting plant bill and OF the
appointment OF an investigating com
mittee to go into the lighting situation
in this city
With regard to the police the Governor
said that there was no doubt that out OF
the great amount Of discussion that was
going on there would be born bill for the
reorganization Of the force which would
prove satisfactory to the city.
