Silent Lawyers.

It is almost Il maxim nowadays that
lawyers real Importance ut the bar
Is in inverse ratio to his prominence
in the papers The truth is that law
yers of great Importance seldom now
adays appear in court. In the old days
the great lawyer was the eloquent
lawyer; today the great LAWYER is the
silent one. Then bar regulations were
made literally at the bar. Today they
are made III the offices Of the sky
scrapers neighboring on Wall street.
In England Il visit any day to the law
courts will be repaid by the sight OF
some famous Il. G. assisting the court
in a dramatization of the trial chapter
from "Alice In Wonderland" But you
might prowl for Il month within the
precincts of the New York courthouse
without encountering lawyer whose
name would signify anything remark
able to the historian of the New York
bar.-.Amer;t IN Magazine.

How Roots Penetrate Hard Ground.
The extreme tips of delicate root
are protected by sheath set with
minute scales. which as 1t Is worn
away by friction against the soil Is as
constantly replaced. so that it acts
as a wedge and the root thread Is car
ried down uninjured. Another aid to
penetration lies in the provision where
by the root as it pushes downward In
search Of nourishmcnt exercises
slightly spiral. screwlike motion which
worms it's tip into the ground. An
other important agent is the ac.d cell
sap, which exudes on to and dissolves
to some extent the rock or hard soil.
This may be tested by placing a small
piece of polished marble in a pot in
which a plant Is set and covering 1t
with earth. After some weeks the
marble will be found to have been cor
roded by the continuous action Of this

VETERANS WIN OUT
Chicago Work Horse Parade Will
Not eB held On Memorial
Day This Year.

Chicago, May 2I.-The Grand Army
of the Republic is victorious The
work horse parade promoters have
surrendered
Memorial day is once more the ex-
elusive property Of the G. A. R..
Neither Percherons nor mules, six
horse teams nor delivery wagons will
share the boulevards with marching
veterans. Citizens who line the curbs
and fill the windows along the route
of the parade on May 80 will pay their
tribute to preservers of the union un-
distracted by the c1atter Of heavy
wheels, the shouts of drivers, and the
flutter OF blue ribbons.
Directors of the Work Horse Parade
association met late yesterday after
noon and voted to postpone the 1911
parade. It will be held on the Satur-
day afternoon following Memorial
day. This action was determined up
on at the conclusion of an hours con-
ference. Various posts of the G. A.
r. will be notified today.

filter PLANT
IS UNDER way.
coNsRETE WORK ON BASIN COM.
MENcED; PILE DRIVER PLAc-
-. ING PILlNG.

The construction Of the new Ultra.
tion system at the waterworks
plant Is well under way, the first
layer Of the concrete work having been
practically completed. Up until now
the work has been the placing OF false
framework, preparatory to the task of
placing the huge amount of concrete
in position. The foundation layer is
nished and a large force Of carpen-
ters is at work building frames for
the next layer. The construction Of
this mass of stone and cement will re-
Quire several months before being
completed.
The pile driver just outside the
building is driving the piling for the
sedimentation basin, but this work
has practically just commenced. A car
load of piling has been placed on the
ground. It will require several days be-
fore it Is all driven home. The sedi-
mentation basin will be about 60x80
feet. The water Is first run into this
and allowed to settle and from there
carried into the filter plant. After the
water comes from the filter all in ex-
cess of what Is required for the pumps
is run across the race into the clear
water basin, which will hold over
100000 gallons. This is the supply
station and supplies the pumps when
the demand Is greater than the filter
can produce. This clear water basin
has been excavated and high embank-
ments completed and graded, ready for
the reception of the rip rapping which
will be started In short time.

Chicago, May A buying STAN.
pede in the wheat crowd at the board
Of trade .-->:. resulted in putting up
the price Of May delivery more than
two cents bushel The rush started
because of continued purchases in the
face of bearish news. Popular opin-
ion finally decided that the buying was
for famous speculator who has not
recently been prominent in the pit.
Startled shorts tried to cover, and
found decided scarcity of sellers.
May offerings were practically scant.
1t was not until that month had been
run up two cents that supplies were
Forthcoming. The idea that corn
spectators were long on May wheat
has had good deal to do with an in
quiry by the board Of trade directors
into charges of irregularity which
threatened to result in the expulsion
of more than one trader of wide prom
inence
The closing figures for May wheat,
50 cents, were at the top point of the
day, exactly two and one-half higher
than twenty-four hours before. The
July option showed at the end of the
day rise Of only three-fourths cent,
but closed firm at SS7a.
