GOV. P|NCHOT OF
 PENN. HAS FIGHT
Dismissed Commissioner But
 Latter Will Contest Power

Philadelphia, Aug 6 R>-Turther developments, with the possibility of requests for injunctions from the courts, were awaited today as the result of Governor Pinchot's action yesterday in summarily removing Public Service Commissioner $. Ray Shelby and the refusal of Shelby and Commissioner James $. Benn, oust- ed last Thursday, to quit notwith- standing the executive order.
 Mir, Shelby was dismissed in a telegram from the governor after he refused to resign as requested in a letter from the executive. He stated publicly at hearing before the commission here that he would con- tinue his duties with the body and would ignore the governors custer.
 As in the case of Commissioner Benn no charges were filed against MT. Shelby, the governor passing his action on the authority vested in him by the state constitution.
 Mir. Shelby did not make public the text of the governors letter re- questing his resignation, nor his formal reply refusing to relinquish the s10,o00 a year position. He raid the original letter and his reply, which should reach the governors office today, would have to come from the executive,
 Eriapdo nP Mfr GboIh,, hnIiryo,J 1, would assume the same position as Mir. Benn, who has withdrawn from sitting with the commission in fare rate hearings, but has written Chair man W. D. B. Ainey, refusing 10 rec ognize the governors legal right to remove him without filing charges, and offering services 10 perform any official duties connected with the of- flee of commissioner.
 Mir. Shelby continued to sit with the commission several hours after receiving the request for his resigna- ton, but withdrew after learning of the governors telegram, announc- ing his summary dismissal.
 Mir. Shelby's successor has not been selected. Dr. Clyde l.. King, sec retary of the commonwealth, was appointed 10 succeed Benn. but he had not yet assumed his new duties.

How Sap Runs"

THE true explanation Of how sap
runs" up through rhe tree is
based on the process known as
osmosis and depends also upon the
concentration OF cell sap. This. says
Scientific American, is Il statement
made recently by G. +. korstian. as
sociate silviculturis:. United States
Forest Service.
Osmosis Is a process by which So
buttons of different density. when
separated by a porous membrane.
tend to mix and to attain the same
degree of concentrat ton by movement
in both directions through a mem
brane. In osmosiS the stronger
movement is, for q time. from the
weaker to the stronger solution. Thus.
IL bladder partly filed with a strong
solution of common salt is placed in
a vessel of pure water. or in weak
salt solution. the bladder will gradu-
ally fill and become greatly distended
If the walls are strong enough. a
pressure of many hundreds of pounds
per square inch may he developed.
This Is an example of osmotic pres
sure. II is really due to the pulling
power of the substance in the solu-
ton upon the water outside of the
bladder. After some time the weaker
movement from within the bladder to
the outside reduces the pressure and
finally. a state of equilibrium is
reached
The cells of root hair of a plant
, act in much the same way as the
bladder just described An impor-
tant difference between osmosis as 1t
occurs in inorganic or lifeless sub
stances and in organic substances is
that living cell is lined with proto-
plasm, and protoplasm has a strong
affinity for water. This affinity causes
1t to resist the outward movement of
water from the cell
In order to draw moisture from tn
soil. the root hair must contain a
solution of higher concentra ton than
| the soil water contains. When the
ground is wet the soil solution usu-
ally is weak, but when the ground is
dry the solution may become so high
ly concentrated that the root cells
cannot absorb it, This is especia lly
the case If the soil contains large
quantities of soluble salts
Usually, however, the root cells are
taking in water from the outside.
This tends to weaken the solution
within them. and these cells in turn
give up water to adjoining cells con-
tanning higher concentration of soil
solution. Thus. water moves from
cell to cell until it reaches a system
OF long. tubular cells or vessels
through which it is forced. largely by
/ osmot1c pressure. up the stem.
Starting from the other end of the
system the action is somewhat as
! foliows: Leaf cells, by losing water
or by manufacturing carbohydrates
increase the density of their sap. Inn
mediately they draw upon neishbor-
ing cells containing a weaker soIu-
tion, thus automatically increasing
| the concentration of the latter. These
In turn draw on the cells beyond. and
| mus the osmotic equilibrium is upset
| all along the line.
