Stated briefly and in proper language, those causes are these: The green matter in the tissue of a leaf is composed of two colors, red and blue. When the sap ceases to flow in th« autumn, and the natural growth of the tree ceases, oxi- dation cf the tissue takes place. Under certain conditions the green of leaf changes to red; under differ- ent conditions it takes on a yellow or brown tint. This difference in color is due to the differences in the combination of the original con- stituents of the green tissue, and to the varying conditions of climate, exposure and soil. A dry, cold climate produces more brilliant foliage than one that is damp and warm. This is tho reason that onr American autumns are so much more gorgeous than those of England.

It is said that Governor Oglesby will grant the con- demned men a brief respite to prepare themselves for death. The women inmates have been requested by a gaol official to help make the shrouds and caps to be used at the execution. It is also said that the greatest precau- tions are being taken to guard against any en\eute by the Chicigo anarchists, who are much excited over the ap- proaching execution of their convicted* confreres. IT isprbbably a good thing for the- carly riser that he catches the eariy worm—but the worm gets his revenge in tbe fact that early rising isn't healthy.
