crop were mapped out yesterday at

FLOWERS
GROW NICELY ON
BURNED OFF LAND
SCIENTISTS SAY FOREST FIRES
HAVE EFFECT OF REVIVING
DORMANT SEEDS.

A remarkable fact in connection |
with forest fires is that after their |
occurrence different vegetation
springs up, says the London Globe.
Thus after the burning of the larg-
err timber trees in Australia there
grows crop of wattles-yarious
species OF acacia-even in places
where none have been known with
in the memory of man.
In the case of scrub fire which
has swept away the underground,
leaving the forest trees still alive,
but with bare and blackened trunks,
the plant to spring up is the wara-
tab. The waratah has been said to
be the handsomest wild flower in
the world. In its brilliant color
it seems reflection of the fire
which caused it's birth. A traveller
through the bush writes of 1t:
"Among the charred trees little
tongues of flame seem to lick. They
are the waratahs, each plant bear
ing on stem six feet high single
burning red flower shaped like a
heart and the size of mans closed
fist. Imagine many hundreds of red
stamens, greater in size than those
of the tiger lily. packed closely to-
gether to make heart shape and
you have the Australian waratah.
Some interesting experiments re-
Gently carried out in Australia by
Prof Ewert of Victoria have sug-
gested to him possible explana-
ton of the above remarkable phe-
nomenon.
Experimenting with seeds OF
acacia so or so years old he has
found that these will terminate Il
the hard coverings are previously
softened or oiled,
In the case of the Australian for
est fires, Prof Ewart think tina
the alkaline abe produced by The
fire may act on the hardened Goa
of the waffle seeds lying on thu
ground and soften them. Or tn,
heat may partly char these sam'
hardened seed coats. In either cas-
the seed is able to terminate. Thu
the idea seems to be that the GOV

that the embryo cannot penetrat

SACRAMENTO RIVER
REACHES Low MARK;
SHIPPERS ALARMED

SACRAMENTO Feb. 13.-Unless
there is an immediate fall of snow
in the Sierra Nevadas, the Sacra-
mento river is likely this summer
TO fall far below the low water
mark of all previous years and
become unnavigable to large por-
ton of the boats now sailing the
stream From present indications
the coming summer will be worse
than that of 1910, when lack OF
water greatly impeded navigation.
In that year the river reached its
lowest stage in thirty years-or
since record has been kept by the
United States weather bureau. On
September 10, 1910 the water
registered feet l inch in depth
and practically all the larger boats
& perienced difficulty in getting
over sandbars, which ehOked the
stream at intervals.
Shippers Alarmed.
The condition is grave. 1t is wor-
rying boat captains and shippers
who will be yitally affected If the
river becomes impossible. This year
has been abnormal. There is less
snow in the mountains than ever
before and there have been nc
warm rains following heavy snow
storms which have annually swell
ed the volume of water in the
river during December, January and
February and cleansed the channe
of sand. Even in 1910, which wen
down on the records as the wors
year in the history of navigation
on the river. the channel had beel
cleared of bars to a certain exten
by floods and freshets early in tn,
yea.
According to a telegraphie re
port received by Observer Taylo
at the local office of the weathe
bureau there was 2S inches o
snow at the summit yesterda,
morning. Last year at this tim
there was IL or IA feet at thi
point No snow remains on tn
ground below the 5OO0-foot altitud
mark
River Dropping.
The fact that the supply. instea
Of growing larger, is rapidly d
minishing, makes the situatio
more alarming. The days are gel
ting longer, and the sun hottei
and the snow is rapidly melting
Unless a storm of large proportion
relieves the situation within tn
next few weeks. according to Oh
server Taylor. the snow supply wi
be the only feeders to the Sacr;
mento river and its tributaries.
At the present time the rive
is lower than for many years. tn

Bill Would Be Beaten.

The passage OF a bill repeating the
tolls exemption provision of the law also
would be practically impossible. It Is
stated The arbitration treaty with
Great Britain, ratified in 1906 provides
that disputes between the two countries
shall be submitted TO arbitration through
an agreement made by the president,
with the advice and consent Of the sem
ate"
While treaties specifically require a
two thirds vote for ratification, many
senators believe an agreement under an
only a ma jority vote. Should diplomatic
greemcnts with Great Britain fall TO
settle the disputed question. It Is believed
they nevertheless "ill delay matters so
that an arbitration agreement could not
come UP for final consideration IN the
senate until after the Democra tic admin
istration has como Into power.

of arbitration for adjustment has be-
come matter OF study among mem

Although that course was recommended
by Secretary OF War Stimson, I'm his
annual report senators who were strong
~ identified with the fight against eX-
emption last August stated today that
they knew of no contemplated bill or
amendment to repeal that portion of the
law,
A strong sentiment exists In the SEN
ate for a final submission TO arbitration
ss to the respective rights Of Great
Britain and the United States at the
canal Leading senators who Endorsed
this sentiment. however, expressed the
belief today that IL would be impossible
to secure even a majority Of the senate
in support OF an arbitration agreement
II the president should finally submit
such an agreement for approval.
