Why Leaves Change Color.

from 81. Nicholas.
Despite the commences OF autumn
coloring. we do not yet know. the full
meaning OF autumn colors Of leaves. We
do know, that late in the summer the
tree is preparing for the leaf fall by
drawing the valuable substances OF the
leaf into the stem. 1t also ceases 10
make chlorophyll tthe green substance of
the leaf which aids In the making of the
plants food, and this gradually fades
away in the bright light. BY fading, 1t
exposes to view any other colors In the
leaf: and all leaves contain yellow col
oring matters called xanthophyll (whose
function is not KNOWN. and it Is these
which give the yellow color to autumn
leaves.
The red is formed differently: in bright
light and cool temperature q new sub
stance, called erythrophyll is made from
sugar and tannin in the leaf cells, and
that has red color. A brown substance
is also sometimes formed. and. besides.
ti}e skeleton OF the leaf itself turns
brown as the leaf dies. 1t is the various
combinations OF these substances that
give the many shades of autumn colors.
Some students think these colors are a
useful protection TO the living proto-
plasm Qife materially Of the leaf after
the green disappears protecting il
against the fun blaze of light which IS
injurious: but others think the coIors
have no use AT all. but are simply the in
cidental chemical results OF the proc
csses in the ripening and dying leaf.

Augustus A. Busch, who recently pur-
chase the old home of Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant in the Gravois road, ST. Louis
county, known throughout the country as
the Grant farm. has converted il into a
model game preserve. The old home OF
the general the famous log cabin. after
being knocked and carried around the
country for. exhibition, has been returned
to its former site and occupies a position
on the farm overlooking the tiravois
road. 1t will he thrown open 10 the pub
lie as a museum.
1t Is Busch's intention to collect as
many Grant relics as possible and re-
store them to the cabin. The little struc-
ture is intact and just as Gen. Grant left
1t. except that few logs have been cut
out of an inside partition.
The old springhouse, where the gen
eral kept his butter. eggs. milk and. it
is rumored, his liquor. which was said
to be the best found in the state. has
been preserved in its entirety. A fence Of
musket barrels that saw service In the
civil war surrounds the cabin. veteran
who served under Grant is caretaker.
To the right of the cabin and a short
distance away stands the former home
of Mrs. Grant, q two-story stone house
typical OF that period. The large barns
and other buildings put up afterward un-
der the personal supervision of Gen.
Grant are In their original state.

WANTS PRESIDENTIAL ORDER
SEEKING TO RESTORE BINDERS
TO THE ELIGIBILITY LIST.
Former President Feensy Declares
That Discharged Competent EN-
ployes Suffer Undeserviugly.

A committee representing the Civic Bet
terment Association will be appointed ia
cooperate with James L. Feeney. former
president Of the Bookbinders Union. In
his efforts to have an executive order Is
sued placing the discharged employees OF
the bindery OF the government printing
ONCE on the eligible list Of the civil serv-
Ice. It was asserted at recent meeting
Of the association that grave injustice
had been done" the employees in ques-
ton.
Mr.. Feeney was at the White House
yesterday endeavoring to have President
Taft take up the matter for consideration.
At the Presidents request Mr.. Feeney
will put the matter in writing to be pre-
scented to Mr.. Taft upon his return to
this city. 1t is said other organizations.
the several hundred men and women in
volved. will take action in the matter.
In discussing the matter today Mr..
Feeney said:
There is no reason why the discharged
men and women who were let out of the
government printing Office during the
Sullings' regime should not be renstated
or placed In a position on the eligible
list. TO be reinstated when the govern
ment needs their services. President Nc
he permitted the employees OF the ONCE
discharged by Public Printer Benedict to
be reinstated without an examination.
''It does not seem right or just for the
government 10 discharge competent, ex-
peFienced bookbinders and expert women
workers who have had many years of ex-
perience on government binding. and then
deprive them OF chance to be rein
stated in their old positions when their
services are needed. According to law
they were eligible for reinstatement for
one year only and then their names were
permanently dropped from the rolls. A
large number OF them could not pass at
this time a civil service examination. al
though thoroughly qualified In their re-
spective branches OF the bookbindins
trade. Their many years experience on
government work units them for work
in outside shops or other lines of bust
ness, and a large number have been re-
duced to destitution and poverty. We are
not asking at this time for the reinstate-
ment Of the discharged employees as the
work at the government printing ONCE
would not permit that. simply to make
them eligible for appointment In case the
ONCE needs their services. l believe when
President Taft considers the matter he
will find there is justice In the propo-
RitiOn."

Deceased Lost Life While Employed
on Construction Of New Senate
Office Building.

Mrs. Rosabelle Saunders. administrative
of the estate Of her Husband. James Saun-
ders. has been awarded a verdict for
$4,000 damages against James Stevens by
a jury in Circuit Court No. l, before JUS
tice Stafford.
The action was brought to recover dam
ages for the death Of Thomas Saunders
January p, 1908 Saunders was employed
as hosting engineer on the new Senate
Office building, in the construction OF
which the defendant was subcontractor
for the marble work. 1t was contended
by the plaintiff that In setting the balus-

the use Of bowels in fastening the top OF
the railing to the balusters, and that as a
result of such direction the railing was
left In loose and dangerous condition
and liable to fall from its place and injure
those who were employed on the building
and on the ground hereunder.
Railing Slips From Place.
After the stone had been set. 1t was
testified. one of the employees, on orders
to land another stone which was being
hoisted on the building, climbed over the
balustrade. upon which the ratings had
been freshly set. and in so doing one OF

him instantly. The colored helper, in fall
ing a distance of seventy feet. caught

ground without any injuries except iacer.
atoms to his hands.
The defendant contended that the negli-
eence of the colored helper in climbing
over the railing had caused the injury
The court however, instructed the Jury
that if ii found from the evidence that by
reason of the instruction of Stevens rep
resentative the stone was negligently
laid and certain bowels which were to be
used i'm the construction Were omitted,
and that thereby the stone became liable
to fall from its place and was dangerous,
that the negligence of the helper In climb
ing over it would not absolve or release
the contra c;or from his act in negiigently
setting the stone.

At an alumni meeting out east last
week. a college president spoke. and here
is something he said:

mad. They spurn education and culture
and turn to business. They leave school
too soon, and the women remain to be
educated. and for what? II 1t continues

That will be a deplorable fate indeed.

new BUILDING REGULATIONS
PLANS TO IMPROVE LIGHT AND
VENTILATION.
Draft Of Bill Submitted by Acting
Engineer Commissioner Kelly
for Homes Commission.

Capt. William Kelly. acting Engineer
Commissioner. has submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners the tentative draft OF
an amendment to the building regulations
governing the light and ventilation OF
buildings. The draft will be submitted to
the Presidents homes commission and to
the commission to revise the building
regulations, for suggestions and changes
and when their ideas are embodied the
proposed regulations will be taken up by
the District Commissioners with a view
to their adoption.
The essential difference between the pro-
posed regulation and the one now exist
ing is i'm the size of rear yard required.
The old regulation requires a rear yard
ten feet wide for a building twenty feet
high. such rear yard 10 increase six inches
with each additional foot In height of
building The proposed regulation re
quires the same sized rear yards for lots
that are over one hundred feet deep. For
lois less than one hundred feet deep the
rear yard shall start with ten feet, and
after a heiga. Of twenty-five feet above
the first-f1oor level shall increase at TIE
rate of three inches for each additional
foot i'm height of building. II a side yard
Is provided, five feet wide for a building
twenty-five feet or less In height, the side
ward increasing in width three inches for
each foot in height Of building over
twenty-five feet. then and in consideration
of such a side yard, the rear yard need
be only five feet wide TO a height of
twenty five feet above the first-foor level.
and increasing above that point at the
rate OF three inches for each additional
foot in height of buildinG-this regardless
Of the depth Of lot.
The other changes in the regulations arc
made mainly foc the purpose of making
the intent of the regulations more clean
and for carrying out the idea OF increas
ing the open spaces required with the
height of building in the proportions
stated above for rear and side yards The
proposed regulation goes into more deta0
In regard TO the restrictions on buildings
facing upon alleys and courts.

Session Late Yesterday.

The society was in session at the Ra-
leigh Hotel yesterday afternoon and last
evening. There were q number OF papers
read on alcohol and alcoholism and the
best means Of legally controlling the use
and abuse Of the liquid. All the speakers
took the stand first assumed by the So
ciety many years ago-that alcoholism is
disease and should be treated as SUCH
1t was pointed out also that the indus
trial salvation of the south depended on
controlling the sale OF alcoholic beverages
One Of the papers was by DR.. H. o.
Marcy. former president Of the American
Medical Association. He spoke particu-
iarly Of the temperance movement In the
south and said that the wave of reform
favoring the control or suppression of
dealing In alcoholic drinks is not
fad nor mere sentimentality. 1t is a
recognition of the perils Of the drug in
increasing the difficulties OF home life and
good government. He said that alcoholic
drinks are the most potent cause of de-
generacy and disease and the industrial
progress of the south would be seriously
hampered II the traffic were not controlled
and curtailed.
