A New Thing in San Francisco.


San Francisco is happy. A tree has
been discovered which finds nutriment
in its thin and sterile soil, or in the sand
where there Is no soil of any kind, -four
ishes through its parching drouehts.
springs back with a triumphant recover
after all its branches have been held
streaming steadily eastward all day long
and every day before the stiff zephyrs
from the sea, and shakes from its sharp
lanceolate leaves the gray alkaline dust
which collects in an. unsightly coating
over all other vegetation, tits the gum
tree which is crowned with this cluster
of rare virtues even when beset with the
most trying Occidental conditions; not
the particular gum tree celebrated in
song as the haunt of the disingenuous
opossum, but another eucalyptus recently
domesticated. And now the young CITY
proposes to plant and decorate herself
with living green. Indeed she has al
ready begun, and although the expert
mont is only three. years old, the local
editor asserts VIGOROUSLY "there are
actually trees in San Francisco" The
gum trees are growing. They will arrest
the malaria that walketh at midnight
and shatter the force of the wind that
wasteth at monday. They will beautify
the city, and mitigate the. dust plague,
and stand as barricades-the papers say
so-against the sweep Of devastating
fires. Unfortunately they will cast a
shade when the sun shines, and sunshine
is what every San Franciscan wants to
battle in when he gets the chance.

The kindergarten system educates
the eyes and fingers, and does not stain
the brains of children, and consequently
a thousand things may be said in favor
of it; but the little ones ought not to
be poisoned. A little girl in Brookline,
Mass, carried home from school the
other day a package of fancy papers,
specially prepared to be woven into
mats. It fell under her fathers eve
and his suspicious were aroused. He
sent several small pieces of bright green
paper to Professor Babcock with a re-.
quest that he would make tests for
arsenic. The chemist pronounced the
color an arsenical copper green, and re.
marked that it would be very poisonous
If taken internally, or if the dust were
inhaled. He said emphatically that no
ona would be justified in plading such a
dangerous plaything in the hands of
children, and that there was no necessity
for the use of such Poisons for coloring
paper, as there wore harmless greens well
known to manufaotnre1s which could be
substituted fo] thsn.
