THE VALUE OF TREEs.-The value
of trees in sanitary point of view in
large and overcrowded cities can scars
cely be over-estimated. Apart from the
sense of relief and GOODNESS which they
impart, their value as purifiers of the
atmosphere is almost incredible. 1t
has been calculated that good-sized
elm, plane, or lime tree will produce
seven million leaves, having united
area of two hundred thousand square
feet. The influence of such large sur-
face in the absorption of deleterious
gases and the exhalation of oxygen
must, therefore, be of immense benefit
in overcrowded and unhealthy districts.
In London. and in all large cities. there
exists great number OF waste spots in
which one or more trees could be plant,
ed to advantage in every way. In this
respect, at all events, they manage
things better in France, and indeed iu
most continental cities, where the
boulev.rds are kept cool in summer
and warm in winter, owing the infu~
ence which trees have in modifying
temperature. In addition, trees tend
by absorption to purify the soil be-
meath as well as the atmosphere above
them. One great cause of failure in
the introduction of trees in London
hitherto has risen from the want of
knowledge as to the particular species
which would thrive best in a smoky
city. 1t is now we'll known that the
plane and other deciduous trees of the
same family are the most suitable, as
they not only expose large leaf sur-
face TO the atmosphere, but, by she'd
ding their bark annually they throw off
the result of smoke, acids, and other
poisonous fumes which, by accamula.
ton, would be fatal to the British oak
or other trees ola slower growth, and
apparently more hardy nature. A
society for planting trees in the wide
streets and waste places of cities might
accomplish as beneficial results as the
excellent institution which supplies
drinking fountains for the retreshment
of man and beast.
