TREE PLANTING IN AUTUMN HAVING
planted many thousands of fruit trees, in,
gliding peach, pear, apple. ounce, cherry,
and that in different states. north and
south, we are unhestatingly of the opinion
that much less percentage of trees die
when planted in the fall than when planted
in the spring. The reasons are Obvious
on reflection. The ground is usually put
in better order. The soil becomes
settled around the trees, while the soluble
portions of the soil settle down around the
roots ready to be assimilated on the frs,
motion of the sap in the early spring.
The trees get the benefit of the first effort
at growth and advance their rootlcts so
far that there is little danger of the hot
weather of summer; when the trees
planted in the spring having made but
little. comparative, growth, usually feel
the trying effect of July and August suns.
There is no necessity for the expensive
work of stalking and tying. so much talked
of by writers without practical experience.
We have never staked Il tree set in autumn
never lost one. IT. however, trees are
secured too lac for fall planting thew
should be heeled in and planted rs early
as possible in the spring. Correspondent,
in Ohio Farmer.

A RECENT ERrPTI0N OF yESIyITS.

The new cone. when | saw it. was pour
ing out vast volumes of smoke and steam.
deto nations occurred at frequent intervals.
and loud noises as if of the lava surging
within the crater. At intervals. also. the
smoke was intensely Illuminated. ~ If the
lava had leaped up within the cone. The
cone discharged a perpetual shower ot red
hpt-pieces of lava of more or less cindcry
character. and certainly to a height far cN-
ceeding the 80 or 30 metri' of Prof. Pal
mieri. 1t is difficult to Judge of height,
under such circumstances. but MANY of the
fragrants appeared to be projected TO a
height equal TO that of an ordinary sky
rocket. The elected masses nearly all fell
on one side of the cone. and helped to raise
it, Occasionally. however. Il sudden
burst would come which scattered the red
hot masses in all directions. We APP
preached as near a. we could 10 the cone.
and stood upon the bank of ciudcrs in
contact with it, and not dozen yards
from its vomiting crater. showers of red
hot stones were projected from the crater.
many of which fell into it again. and the
rest, for the most part, on the side remote
from us. There came a sudden burst
however, which shook the ground under
our feet and scattered red-hot masses in
all directions. 4 piece weighing four
ounces fell within six feet OF where | was
standing, and the guide ran up to It and
pressed "A copper coin upon its still soft
surface. 4 few minutes later "A piece of
red-hot lava, weighing at least seven times
as much rs the preceding. fell within four
feet of me, and | promptly retired to a
safer distance. Fifteen days before guide
had been killed by falling red-hot stone
from the crater. The projectiles from the
crater are donbly dangerous. because YOU
cannot dodge" them. They donot come
down straight like cricket-ball, but way
er in their fight like a boomerang. In the
case of the larger of the two masses which
fell so near to me, | had not only time he
fore it fell to watch in the air above my
head. but also to speculate n to where it
would fall Judging by its position when
about 40 feet from the ground it would GER
tainlv, thought, fall behind; moment
later it swerved and fell about four feet in
front of me. The cone, with its lurid
smoke and loud detonalions, and showers
of red-hot stones. presented a most iasci-
mating spectacle. What then must be the
effect when the whole great cone OF
Vesuvius is in like condition ?-Nat,llr.
