CARE For THE TREEs.-We notice
that the leaves of some of the orna-
mental trees about the village are
shriyeling up, evidently for want OF
sufficient water. 1t really seems a
pity, after parties have been to the
expense and trouble of procuring
arees and coaxing them to grow in
this sun-parched country, that these
beaatifers OF the place should be al
lowed to perish. Give the ground a
good soaking around the trees. A
little water applied soon evaporates
from the heated earth, without pene-
trating to the roots OF tree.

-MagnetO-electric machines moved
by power, and intended for the illumin-
alton al large rooms, have recently been
much improved in Germany. Those Of
the most recent construction cost about
500, and require less than 100 foot
pounds Of power To drive them, so that
a single horsepower can drive from 80
10 30 such machines. Four such ma
chimes placed in separate small room
have recently been applied tofeed four
suitably placed lamps in the large mills
Of Messrs. Hermann, Ducommum K
Steinlein, in Mulhausen, Germany. Tn
room lighted is nearly 100 by 200 feet,
while each lamp gives as much light as
100 Carcel lamps or 500 standard can
dies; the four electric lamps therefore
give more light that 5000 candles.
while this is accomplished at total cost
II 70 cents per hour. The total cost Of
the whole arrangement only amounted
TO $1,000.
