Shade Trees in CITY streets.

The New York Times having complained of
the removal OF trees from 59th street. in that
city, the president Of the department of public
parks replies that instructions have been given
to replace all the trees on the different parks
and sidewalks surrounding the same that failed
to stand the winter, by large, we'll grown trees
that have been selected for this purpose, OF the
same size as those now living. 1t Is to be re-
GREETED that, while streets are being laid out In
various directions in Philadelphia, and broad
avenues have been opened between the rural
frontiers and the heart OF the city. no provision
has been made for the planting of shade-trees
along the pavements. On most of the new and
tree is to be seen. Fhe primitive for
est trees having been cut down, there
is no shade for the wayfarer, and they
are bleak and bare, hot In summer, and
exposed to the unbroken fury of the autumnal
and winter winds. Even on Broad street.
the finest promenades in the world, a vandal
warfare has been waged against shade-trees.
Some parts OF it are consequently exposed to
the full blaze OF the suns rays, and cannot be
used as promenade by day Shutters and
doors are blistered with the intense heat of the
sun, and must be reprinted every year. In for
rner times great care was taken by both the
ing OF shade-trees. or late years, In some parts
OF the city, they have rivaled each other in
their destruction. All medical writer's agree
that shaded streets are an essential element to
public health; that trees absorb miasma, purify
the atmosphere, create currents OF air, and pro-
duce refreshing GOODNESS. A tree is never at
rest even in dead calm. 1t is always flutuer-
mosphere around 1t. A special fund ought to be
granted the department OF highways for the
planting OF trees on all new and principal
