NEW TRUSTEES ARE UP
AGAINST HARD PROPOSITION

Special to The Ne'os.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2s.-Chairman
H. s. Sexton, of the general board of
trustees of Mississippi's four largest
educational institutions, was in the
city this morning. Regarding the
openings at the several institutions,
he stated that the educational outlook
for the coming year is very promising
in every respect, the enrolment is
much in excess of that Of former years
and first-class work is expected from
the several faculties.
Mr.. Sexton is never inclined to To-
quacity in discussing the rather her
culean task he has assumed, but an
swers to several specific questions
were promptly forthcoming. When
asked, what do you think Of your
Job, as far as you've got?" he laugh
ingly replied.
''It is simply immense to man who
is a glutton for trouble, but wouldn't
recommend it for any other sort of a
person. "T have been rather amused
at the volume, variety and character
of the correspondence that has piled
up on us since the organization Of the
board, ranging all the way from appli-
cations for professorships from pro-
fessors at some of the German uni
versities to suggestions on how to get
rid of the flies in the kitchen at the
Alcorn A. & M. College,"
/ Mr.. Sexton declined to commit him
self on the practicability of the plan
adopted by the legislature to place all
state educational institutions under
one board of trustees.

you whether the plan is practical

Captain A B. Townshend's book. "a

"Yasak." echoed the sentry on duty.
The foreigner said whatever was

manded the tree.
Here was nice quandary for the
authorities. Evidently it was a most
fearful thing to receive a tree from
abroad, and yet the consignee was
capable of getting some one into very
serious trouble if he did not get his
tree, and he said he must have it with

to Adrianople by the next train, and
the person for whom it was intended
received a notice that "a tree from

So the wretched little Bulgarian tree
had become a Turkish one, brought
from Constantinople. and by that
means it satisfied officialdom and serv-

A PULLING PINE.
Peculiar Tree That Is Something Of =
Mystery to Botanists.

Mystery to Botanists.
Upper California Is the home of
tree that has puzzled botanists Ii is
a pine which will grow only near the
seacoast Its growth is slow. and it
does not attain to great size.
The strange thing about it is that
there are. to all appearances. insur-
mountable difficulties in the way of
the perpetuation of the species. Some
specimens of 1t exist in Kew gardens.
in London They have been carefully
examined by competent authorities.
and all admit that the tree presents
problem unlike anything elsewhere
met with.
This pine produces at regular inter
vals the usual cones containing seeds;
but, strange to say. the cones are so
thoroughly protected that the seeds
cannot be released. The cones are
hard and tightly closed and have
strong overlapping scales.
More extraordinary still is the fact
that the pine, after producing Its al
most invulnerable cones. keeps them
hanging on its branches year after
year. Unless through some peculiar
accident the seeds would apparently
remain attached to the parent tree for
ever. Many Of the cones on the trees
in Kew gardens have been there for
years, as is shown by the size of the
| branches and the formation of the
| bark.
1t has been found that the seed YES
sells which this tree so powerfully re-
tain are so well protected that 1t re-
quires a strong knife with the assist
snce Of a heavy hammer to cut the
cone into sections. No ordinary con-
ditions Of temperature can make a
| cone open. sA.-4' - ssrs 'H'''
The following is the only explana-
ton yet offered that seems to have any
degree of plausibility: The species
may be perpetuated by fire. One who
has studied the tree asserts that moth

fire could compel the cones to release
their seeds. 1t has been found thai
