Transplanting Trees.

IN transplanting young trees it is not
advisable to trim too closely. Only so
much top should be taken as will partially
equaliZe the mutilation of the root And
in forest and ornamental deciduOus trees,
the cutting to bare poles or nearly so, is
barbarous in the extreme. Many die out
right under this practice, and those which
survive struggle precariously for years
Without leaves there can be no root
growth, and the root growth is in proper,
ton to the eafsurface.
More trees have been killed by severe
top pruning than by leaving the top alto
gether intact. With plenty of moisture,
Immediately the leaves start, the new root
growth is formed, and with plenty of
tibrous roots, there is really no need of
cutting the top, except to bring the tree
into shape, save in large sized trees where
the top is altogether disproportioned to
the root. In this case, careful cutting
back is of decided benefit The great Sc
cret in transplanting is, bringing the
fibrous roots into close contact with moist
earth, and thorough mulching thereafter.

Sap'Suckers.

AT meeting Of the Society of Natural
History of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, held at Lansing, Mich, Mr.. F. C.
Wells stated that he had recently dissected
quite number of sap-suckers (picus 7ub-
escens) and had found in their stomachs.
in some cases twenty Larvae of the apple
tree borer, and that the average found in
all was nine; that is good proof of their
usefulness. DR.. Kidzie said he had seen
where sap-suckers had pecked into a
sound and healthy maple tree, where
there appeared to be no insects, and he
thought they were after sap. He re.
marked that the holes that they pecked
were always in a row running round the
tree. Dr. Miles thought that the reason
of this was that they were following up
the trail Of some insect. Prof Cook
suggested that in the case of the maple
tree, the insect was the large headed Dor
er, which works at the heart, and does
not affect the apparent healthfulness of
the tree. 1t is generally believed that
this bird, which is so universally con-
demned, is really benefit.

Curious Story about a Hawk.

CURIOUS incident occurred few DAYS
since short distance from this CITY. One
OF our Well-known merchants had gone
out on visit to friend, at whose house
there was bright little boy, and one day,
to please the child, he manufactured a
very large kite, and as the wind was
strong enough, the kite was raised at
once. After it had gone up nearly half a
mile, large crowd of country people
collected to admire it, as such magnifi
cent toy had never been seen in that sec
ton before. While the spectators were
admlring it, very large hawk was seen
to fly slowly out of a neighboring grove
and go directly toward the kite. The
hawk approached within few feet of the
strange looking object, and then circled
about under it for perhaps five minutes,
when he flew just above it and again cir
cled around several times Suddenly he
lowered directly over the kite, and after
looking at it intently for a short time,
darted downwards, and striking the paper,
passed directly through the kite, coming
out on the under side. After this strange
experience which no doubt puzzled the
hawk vastly, he flew off short distance
tor reflection, but still keeping the kite in
view. Not being disposed to give it up
SO, he quickly returned to the charge, and
this time fastened on the lOHg string of
rags that was used as a tail to the kite
which he tore and scattered in the air in a
savage manner. Finding, however no re
sistance on the part of the kite, he became
disguised or scared, and flew away toward
the woods from whence he came. The
gentleman says that whenever the hawk
made an attack he would retreat a little,
as If he expected the strange bird was go
ing to return the assault -BaZtiu0re

4 Theory for the Distant Future,

IHE time Is coming when there will be
no more shtpwrecks, when ocean steamers
will not sink or disappear, and when
coasters need no longer fear the dread lee
shore. 1t will not be this year or next
but it some time will be, if we can credit
recent article by Prot. Wincheu of
Michigan. 1t appears-or rather it is,
though it does not yet appear-that the
waters of the earth are drying up. The
earth is cooling, the water works its way
deeper and deeper into the crust each year,
and in the course of time il will all be
soaked up without evaporation; ocean and
atmosphere alike will be drawn into the
cold embrace Of the earth, which will be
left frozen desert, floating through space
throughout all time, like an empty Ship
in the Arctic seas. His theory is that as
order came out of chaos by the cooling of
the exterior of the melted masses, so this
same process is to continue to the end. He

The Marine Force OF Spain.

Apropos of Spain, the report of Cap.
tain James Forney, of the Marine Corps
whom Secretary Robson sent over to Eu-
rope to inspect the relative strength and
efficiency of the shipboard soldiers OF the
leading nations, shows that Spain has
10000 MAJ ines, and the marine corps Is
the highest branch of her service, the Off
GERS being uniformly selected from the no
bility and the corps trained in colleges al
Cadiz and Madrid. This large marine
force is less efficient at present than be-
fore the revolution, the officers having be
come trading politicians it 8 the second
marine force, however. in the world, Great
Britain having 1900 and the United
States only 5000 The Spanish marines
are divided between the infantry and ar,
tillery service. Thus Spain is twice a:
strong in ships as we, and has more thar
three to one of ship military. Captain
Forney visited the Cadiz Barracks only 9
few months ago. General Sherman
whose report has been'seen to-day, shows
that our army, like our navy, is down te
twenty i've regiments and companies o.
fifty-nine men maximum, making less thar
$1,000 troops in the regular army. These
considerations bode no help at present Il
