CURIOUS FLORIDA HERB.
Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants

Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Anss
and Other Insects.
Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or cafnlV-
orous plants, but it is doubtful If many
know we have any such plants grow
ing right here in Southern Florida.
Nevertheless there is plant, or rather
herb. growing here which is really in
sectivorous.
It is likely that on account Oh its
heinc extremely small it has escaped
attention. In fact. it seems to nave
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find it classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the en-
fire plant including the flowers, is or
a deep rich red color 1t rarely reaches
height of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves are

deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When

WINS FIGHT OVER
ASPHALT STREET
FOND DU LAC PROPERTY OWNER
VICTORIOUS AFTER PAVEMENT

Supreme Court Finds for Plaintiff Who
Charges Fraud Against Barber
Company.
CASE IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.

MADISON, Wis. March 81 Spe-
cial. &c. V. McMillen and other prop
erty owners in Fond du Lac have won
out in a long fight against the city and
the Barber Asphalt Paving company, ac-
cording to a decision handed down by
the supreme court today.
Their victory comes rather late, how
ever, as the pavement which they en-
joined the city from laying has been
down for over a year. What action will
be taken now is a matter of conjecture
Fraud Is Alleged.
When the city let the contract for an
asphalt pavement to the Barber com.
pany, Mcmillan, acting for himself and
other property owners, asked for an IN,
Junction on the ground that there mad
been fraud in the transaction.
Among other allegations was one tha'
the company had given rebates to the
property owners on Sheboygan street
who secured in order to secure the con
tract and that the city had no right tc
charge for pavement after he had paid
for an old block pavement.
Judge Fowler was unable to try the
case in the circuit court of Fond du Lac
county and he called i'll Judge O'Neill OF
Jackson county. The plaintiffs objected tc
Judge O'Neill and the case was then
tried by Judge Martin Lueck of Juneau

THE WORD "WINTER."

Said to Have Originally Indicated
wctncss, Not Goodness.
There is prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win
ter that signifies cold, and the sea-
son is usually associated with the idea
of low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little OF
winter as we understand it, while
there was a great deal Of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that it is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given US the word.
The word winter" rs we use it, IS
found with but slight notifications IN
all the branches Of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea Of wetnesS aSso-
ciated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root Of the word we
find "wad," with the Specification Of to
well, to wash out, to motsten or make
wet Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions OF
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out Of it, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad' is in the Sanskrit
as "udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has
''waeter," and in Latin we have "un-
da," wave, from which we get our Gin
undate.'
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the ''w" into ''y,'' and have
winter" IN Icelandic it is ''vetir,"
and the old high German has win
tar" and it is winter" in German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata," which means
wet So it has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth OF the
root on which all of the different words
in a dozen languages have grown
