TREES AS HISTORIANS OF
THE PAST.

M. Charles Gros has recently
commenced q note 10 the French
Academy of Sciences on the study
of the yearly rings, shown when
the trunk of q tree is transver<cly
divided. These layers by which,
as is we'll kown, the age Of the
tree may be determined, do not
diminish in relative thickness by
O constant law. In view Of this,
NJ. Gros seeks a cause for the ir-
re 5ul:.riiy, and. it seems, has arri-
we'd ut the conclusion that the da-
ia, mean and extreme, ofmctcoro!-
ogical phenomena, when known
and tabulated, might be compared
year by year with the annual H.
gneous layers formed during such
periods in many different varieties
of trees.
From the comparison it is not
impossible that some interesting
ideas relative to the laws Of devcl-
opment of trees may be obtained.
But, moreover, these laws once
established, the trees in their tnrn
might become precious collections
of ofmeteorological evidence forplace
and times where observations can.
not be made. Les Mondes suggests
rather a striking example Of what
might be learned from ancient
trees, as follows: 'Supposc that
there should be found in Egypt
very old though living tree the or
igin Of which dated back to the
time Of Joseph. If, on cutting the
trunk, the rings corresponding to
that period showed seven thick
and seven thin layers: there would
be tangible evidence of the truth
Of the scriptural tradition Of the
seven years Of plenty and seven
years Of famine, besides Of the i'm.
mediate causes ofhumidity, tempe
rature, etc., to which such phe-
nomena might be due"

Blindness, as we'll as other diseases,
have been attributed to dark, ill-yen-

Legislative.

The Harrisonville Courier is dis
posed to poke fun at the assembled
wisdom of the State:
A bill regulating the ''sctting of
hens" will soon pass the Lower
House of the Missouri Legislature,
but it is said that it will have some
strong opposition in the Senate, and
will hardly get through without hav-
ing fourteen Or fifteen amendments
tackled on TO it. As this bill will be
ono of the most important that has
yet been reported, VIC hope there
will he no unnecessary delay in
making it a law.
The bill provides that no hen, after
she shall have acquired the age Of five
years, shall be compelled to go to set.
ting until she first expresses a de.
sire to do SO by = constant cluckins
when in Q disturbed state, and thai
she shall not be compelled to set on
any eggs not of her own laying, and
then, not OH more than thirty at {
time.
| The bill also provides that rooster.
shall be required, by statutory enact
mcnts, to take the place of q settin:
hen when she desires to visit hcl
neighbors or hunt bugs and worms
| We believe that Mr.. McDaniels, o
Jackson, is the father Of the bill, bu
will not be positive.
