w.lslno For the Lightning.

Curious Information on the habits of
the big trees ofCalifornia is given in one
Of John Muir's books. "These big trees"
he says, "seem to be immortal unless
they are destroyed by accident. There
Is no absolute limit to the existence Of
any tree. Death Is due to accident, not,
as that Of animals, to the wearing out
of organs. Only the leaves die Of old
age Their fall Is foretold In their
structure. But the leaves are renewed
every year, and so also are the essen
tial organs-wood, roots, bark. buds.
"Most of the Sierra trees die of dis
ease, insects, fungi, etc, but nothing
hurts the big tree" adds the distin-
guished naturalist. x never saw one
that was sick or showed the slightest
sign of decay. Barring accidents, 1t
seems to be immortal 1t is curious
fact that all the very old sequoias had
lost their heads by lightning strokes.

But Of all living things the sequoia is
perhaps the only one able to wait long

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Many Matters Of Importance Pertain.
Ing to the cIty's Welfare Dis
cussed In Open Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
City Council was held last night, and
the meeting was called to order by
Mayor Harris. All aldermen except
Mr.. Wilson, who is out OF the city,
were present.
Mr.. G. e. jenkins being present
the Council expressed itself in readi-
ness to hear what he might have to
say. Mr.. Jenkins said THAT he was
there to represent Chemical Co. No
2 in requesting that the right hall
of the fire station be partitioned off
and assigntd to them for their chem
ical engine. He said that arrange
ments for keeping this automobile
chemical engine were about complete
and that the Company was going to
donate 1t to the city. Owing to the
fact that the proposed alteration will
somewhat Inconvenience the present
occupants Of the station, the matter
was referred to Mr. Levy of the fire
committee to Investigate.
L. M. Hewitt petitioned the Council
for rate on water for the bottom
road. He stated the interurban was
willing to pay for all water it had
used at any rate and computation
deemed just by the Council. The
Council expressed itstlf as willing to
make him the same rate as was
made to other commercial enterprises
using large quantities of water.
Mr.. Hewitt called the attention OF
the Council to the fact that a num-
Der of weeks ago, he and Mr.. Gam
mil had applied for a gas franchise,
but had been put off by the Council
without an answer, either favorably
OF otherwise.
Mr.. Hewitt, when he originally ap-
piled for the franchise, set forth in
writing the points embodied in the
franchise which he wished the Coun-
Gil to grant him. The matter was
referred to the ordinance committee
who tackled a number of amendments
and riders to the proposed franchise.
The amended document was turned
over to the city secretary, but was
lost by him, SO he reports. Mr.. Hew-
1t said that he had copy of the
original petition, and Alderman Wick
stated that he had retained copy of
the amendments. The Council in
structed them to put the two togeth-
er, submit it for inspection, and it
would be granted.

Fountain representing the interests
of the development company. They
claim that the increased valuation Of
taxable property and the revenue de-
rived from the line would pay for II.
The Council, however, seriously
doubted the value of the proposition,
and stated that they preferred to ex-
tend the lines in populated sections
Of the city where consumption is GER
tain and the people need and are en-
titled to water. The Council, upon
motion of Alderman Haswell, deferr-
ed the matter until the next regular
monthly meeting.
The company then petitioned that
the name of Wheelock Street be
changed to Oak Grove Avenue. The
Council granted the request, as no
expense is entailed on the city.
A petition was heard by the Coun-
Gil to open North Regent Street along
the H. & T. C. near the oil mill. The
Council will take steps to have this
done, if the necessary property can
be acquired.

ware Co. for the City Health Depart

Council, and referred to DR.. Hunni-

The item was $17.25 for four trash
cans. The Council failed to see where
the four cans contributed to the
health of the city, as the city has al
ready placed sufficient number of
trash cans on the streets.
A bill from A. s. Adams for thir-
teen days work supervising the con-
struction of the storm sewer at $3.50
per day was also tabled, and the
mayor stated that he refused to o. K
1t. The Council agreed that ten per
cent Of the value of the materials
used on the job would be enough,
since the Westrumite Co. agreed to
take the job at that price. Mr.. Ad-
ans turned in the extra bill on the
grounds that his contract of engineer
ing supervision for three per cent,
and the actual acting of foreman on
the job, were different propositions.
Since the Council agreed that the 10
per cent was reasonable. and custom

Badness.

Men get bald more frequently than
women, according to DR.. Guelpa Of
Paris, because they wear hard. heavy
hats, they cut their hair too short and
they eat more than women. Dr. Guel-
pa says the scalp is like soil and the
hair Hike the Vegetation that grows upon
It When the scalp is neglected the
hair does not grow and its roots die,
Just as grass dies when the soil Is
poor A heavy, hard hat constricts
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp. Clipping the hair short leaves
its tender roots at the mercy OF cold,
heat and dust. The oil that exudes
from around the roots Of the hairs and
keeps them nourished is coagulated by
the cold and chokes up the matrix In
which the hair Is formed.-New York
