An Ohio farmer, who lately took
pains to carefully watch the movements
of large flock of blackbirds at work in
his cornfields, discovered that instead of
eating the corn the birds were industri-
ously hunting for the corn-worm. In
every case where he examined an ear
on which a blackbird had worked he
found marks of the worm, but no worm.
This he concluded was strong circum-
stantial evidence that the birds were
doing him almost invaluable service in
stead of an injury.

Last April George Karr came to this city
from Parsons, Kan, and with J. E. West
lake and Matt Bradley opened the Clipper
Club and Sample Rooms, which soon be-
came the most popular resort of the kind
here. Last month he sold out his interest
in the business to his partners. Since then
he has been drinking and gambling heavily.
Last night, while in Respondent mood
from heavy losses the night before, he
walked to the bridge spanning the Rio
Grande, just below the city, and, after
passing the gate-keeper's house, deliber-
ately put pistol to his right temple and
fired, the ball crashing through his brain,
causing instant death. The gate-kesper
heard the shot, but supposing it was some
one shooting into the air, paid no attention.
This morning at six O'Clock teamsters com
ing into town found the body lying on the
further end of the bridge, pistol at his
side with one empty Gambler. His watch
and Jewelry were on his person unmolested.
karr was most popular young man and
had number of friends who are shocked
at his suicide. His wife is the daughter of
prominent railroad gentleman who is in
terested in the First National Bank, Deni-
son, Tex; also, large stakeholder in
leading bank in st. Louis. The Coroner's
jury this morning found that deceased
came to his death from gunshot wound,

that on the preceding day Frank James wss
seen walking about the streets of Gallatin,
accompanied by his wife and by his sister,
Mrs. Allen Palmer, attending to some busi-
ness in various stores there. The stats-
ment was also made that the prisoner was
not accompanied by guard. An official
OF the court stated that Mr.. Comber said
that while Frank James was doing this
colored man, who had taken some goods
from store, was doing penal service with
a ball and chain attached to him. As no
representative of Sheriff Crosier was present
nothing in explanation of his side of the
matter was said. It is said that James
health demands that he be exercised at

Measuring the Age of Trees.

The counting of the rings added by
exogenous trees every year to their cir
conferences can only, without risk of
great error, be applied to trees cut down
in their prime, and hence is useless
for the older trees which are hollow and
decayed. Trees, moreover, often de-
Velop themselves so unequally from
their center that, as in the case of a
specimen in the museum at Kew, there
may be about two hundred and fifty
rings on one side to fifty on the other.
Perhaps the largest number of rings
that has ever been counted was in the
case of an oak felled in 1912, where
they amounted to seven hundred and
ten; but De Candol1e, who mentions
this, adds that three hundred years
were added to this number as probably
covering the remaining rings which it
was no longer possible to count. This
instance may be taken to illustrate how
unsatisfactory this mode of reckoning
really is for all but trees of comparative
" youthful age.
The external girth measurement is tor
these reasons the best we can have,
being especially applicable where the
date of a tree S introduction into coun-
try or of its planting is definitely fixed,
since it enables us to argue from the
individual specimen or from number
of specimens, not with certainty, but
within certain limits of variability, to
the rate of growth of that tree as a
species. In these measurements of
trees OF century Or more in age, such
as are given abundantly in Loudon's
:" Arboretum," lies our best guide,
though even then the growth in subse-
quent ages must remain matter of con-
lecture. The difficulty is to reduce this
conjectural quantity to the limits of
probability; for, given the ascertained
growth OF the first century, how shall
we estimate the diminished growth Of
later centuries? The best way would
seem to be to take the ascertained
growth OF the first century, and then to
make, say. the third Of it the average
growth OF every century. Thus, il We
We're to take twelve feet as the ascer-
tanned growth of an oak in its first
century, four feet would be it's constant
average rate, and we might conjecture
that an oak of forty feet was about
Thousand years old. But clearly it
might be much less; for the reason for
taking the third is not SO much that it
= more probable average than the
hall, as that it is obviously less likely to
err on the side Of excess of rapidity.-
