ACTION OF THE RAIN.
The Wonderful Factor II Is In tn
nisfnfoOraffo. - Doot~

The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the
DfstntegratiOn of Rocks.
The rain falling on the rocks sinks
into every crack and crevice, carrying
with it into these assures surface mate
rial which has been degraded by the
weather and thus affording a matrix
sufficient to start the growth of vege-
tation and afterward to maintain the
plants. The fibers and roots of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life, growing and expanding, act
as wedges to split up the surface Of
the rock and to commence the process
OF wearing away. From this quality
OF destruction large class Of plants
derive the name of saxifrages, or rock
breakers, from their roots penetrating
into the minute assures In search Of
water and so assisting In the process
OF disintegration. In winter the water
collected In the hollows and crevices
becomes frozen and, expanding as 1t
changes into ice, acts like a charge of
blasting material in breaking up the
rock. The pieces thus detached be-
come further disintegrated by frost
and weather and, being rolled over and
over and rubbed against each other as
they are carried away down the noun
tain torrents, are ground gradually
smaller and smaller till from frag-
ments Of rock they become powders,
then pebbles and finally sand. As the
mountain stream merges into the riv-
er the pebbles and coarse sand con-
tnue to be rolled along the bottom of
the channel, while the ragillaceous par
ticles and salts become mingled with
the water and flow on with 1t either In
suspension or solution.
While this disintegrating process is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed to the sea are suf-
fering degradation by a similar proc
ess and are also being worn away by
the 1ncessant action Of the waves of
the ocean beating on them and attack
ing them not only with the impact of
the water, but also with the fragments
broken on, which, dashed against the
face from which they have eroded, are
thus used as implements Of destruc-
ton

FEDERAL CONTROL
Of INSURANCE
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OF MA
TIONAL LAW.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 9.-Raiph w,
Breckenridge of Omaha, chairman OF
the committee on insurance OF the
American Bar association, has com
pleted the report of that committee
which is to be presented to the annual
convention at Narragansett Pier
which will be held August % to 25
The report makes five specific recon-
mendations, as follows:
First-Legislation by congress pro
viding for the supervision of insur
ance
Second-The repeal of all valued
policy laws.
Third-a Uniform fire policy, the
term of which shall be specifically de-
fined.
Fourth-The repeal of all retalitory
tax laws.
Fifth-Stricter Incorporation laws
in the several states as to effect the
creation of insurance companies; and
federal statute prohibiting the use
of the mails to all persons, 5associa-
tons or corporations transacting the
business of insurance in disregard OF
state or federal regulations.
President Roosevelt is quoted as
having said to the committee that he
is very much in favor of federal SUI
pervision of insurance.
The committee would require re
ports to a governmental department
showing the amount of money collect
ed, for what purposes used; showing
honest management and the protec
ton of policy holders.
w. F. Vance of Virginia, a member
of the committee, is ordered to pre-
sent a minority report in which he
will differ with the committee, not on
its general findings, but on the propo
Sition that there is mo constitutional
obstacle existing to the inauguration
of federal insurance business. Wild
cat companies are strongly criticised
and the report says that state laws
denying companies the right to defend
against death claims in suicide cases,
encourages self-destruction.

The generous rainfall which came
last night and early this morning will
be gratefully accepted by farmers and
others generally, but to Ole Simonson,
who lives On a farm about two miles
north of Stoughton, the lightning
which accompanied the first part of
the storm proved disaster. Shortly
after 8 o'clock a bolt of lightning
struck hay barn on the old John At
klnson farm, owned by Ole Simonson,
and the barn and contents were en-
tirely destroyed. The barn was filled
with the recent harvest and the loss
will reach $4,000, it il estimated
The fire made a brilliant illumina-
ton in the southern sky and it was so
bright as to cause people in Madison
to fear that buildings at the county
fair grounds or at Lakeside were being
destroyed The Judgment of other OBJ
servers was that the fire was in the
vicinity of Mcfarland.
The rain will prove a blessing to
dying lawns, parched gardens and de-

PF|STER TO SEEK
AN EARLY TRIAL
MAKES A FORMAL STATEMENT
AFTER CONFERENCE WITH
ATTORNEYS.

Milwaukee, Aug. 9.-Charles F. PTS
ter spent part of yesterday at his Of
fee in the Herman building in consul
tation with Attorneys George Lines of
this city and Thomas NJ Kearney of
Racine.
After the conference the attorneys
authorized the following statement:
CAS- soon as Judge Brace returns
to the city, Mr.. Pfister will appear and
request to be arraigned and enter his
plea of mot guilty to the indictment.
He will then ask that the charge
against him be set down for trial at
the earliest possible day. This re-
quest will be made not alone because
of Mr. Pfsters constitutional right to
have his character cleared from the
unjust aspersions cast upon him, but
also because the charge against Mr..
Pfster is one which, if true, renders
him unfit to occupy the positions of
trust in connection with the business
interests Of this city which he now
holds, and the thousands of people
who have reposed, and still do repose,
confidence in him have right to learn
at the earliest possible moment wheth-
or that confidence has been misplaced.
'Mr. Pfister wishes it stated in the
most emphatic terms that he did not
steal the sum of $4,000 from the Wis
consin Rendering company, or any
other sum, and that he did not use
that amount of money, or any other
amount of money received from the
company for any unlawful purpose"
