Cause of Wreck.
The cause of the accident is laid to the
train dispatcher's office. When the en-
gineer of No. IL appeared at Fairfield
be was handed the following order:
run 40 minutes late to Eldon." The
fireman of No. IL declares that they had
clearance orders from Eldon and that
the blame for the wreck was in the is
suance of them from the dispatcher's
Office. At the time of the accident the
trains were running at the rate of about
30 miles an hour. Both engines were
of the large Pacific type, and were de-
molished by the impact, which was ter
rife. Four cars of No. 10 were derailed
and seven damaged, and most of the in
jured were on this train. All the killed
were on No. II, which was also badly
damaged.
A relief train with physicians was
sent to the scene from Eldon and the
injured wereremoved to the latter point.
Traffic was tied up for nearly IL hours.
Several of the injured were able to con
Ainue their journey and these with the
other passengers were detoured over
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
tracks by way of Ottumwa and Eldon.

INTELLIGENT TREES.

In the southwestern part of Mexico, near the edge of the table land which stretches from Mexico City to the Sierra Aadre Mountains, the traveller witnesses frequent changes of vegeta- tion as he ascends and descends the broken plain, from the hardy woods of northern attitudes to the more lux uriant tropical growths. Many odd shapes are displayed and many strange methods of life. Bu" among them all the wild fig trees.
 They show such apparent intelli- gence in their mode of growth and their readiness to meet emergencies, says E. w. Nelson ill the National Geographic Magazine, that it is diff cult not to credit them with powers of vclition.
 In the tropics there is a constant struggle for life among the plants. Seedlings on the ground have a hard .-me to reach an age of comparative safety. Some of the wild figs appear to have learned this fact, and provid, fruit which is eagerly sought by birds. Some of the seeds are thus car ried to the treetops and find Judgment in the aXils of palm fronds, high in air.
 There, sheltered from danger, the seed takes root, and is nourished by the little accumulation of dust and vegetable matter. It sends forth an aerial root, which creeps down the palm, and sometimes coils about the trunk on its way. After the descend ing rootlet has secured itself in the ground, branch, bearing a few leaves, springs from the seed in the palm top. aud vigo, ous growth begins. Then the fig gradually enlarges and encloses the supporting palm-trunk, until it is completely shut in the heart of its foster child and eventually strangled. But the fig, which, had it seeded in the ground, must have died before it reached to sunlight and pure air, is left towering above its neighbors, a sturdy and healthy tree.
