The Age of Trees.
From L0ngman's Maga1lne.I

The cypress affords an instance where the approximate certainty of it's introduction into England enables us to form some con- clusions with regard to it's attalnable age. The fact of it's being first mentioned in Tur- ner's "Names of Herbs," published in 1548, duced into England before the beginning of that century. But, at all events, the cy- press at Pullman which in 1793 was two feet five inches at three feet from the ground, cannot have been planted there be- fore 1874, the year that Compton, the great introducer of foreign trees into England m the seventeenth century, became Bishop or London That gives growth of about two feet in the first century; but sometimes It aftains 6 higher rate, as In the case or the cypress planted by Michael Angelo at Char treux, which was thirteen feet round in 1917, tying the average rate of oyer four feet in inc first three centuries Now the cypress at Somma, between Lake Maggiore and Milan, for whose sake Napoleon bent the road out of the straight line, is not more than twenty
 three feet in girth, so that the tradition which makes it's planting coeval with Chris tianity would seem doubtful; though if we take three feet as the first century's growth, and take the third as the average, it may eVl- dently have been standing in the time or Cesar, as an old chronicle of Milan IS aVerred to attest. The Lebanon cedar first planted at Lambeth in 1883 was only seven 1ees nine inches (girth measurements alone neeo pc oiven) 1IO years later. Dr. Uvedales cedar,
 planted at Eafield not earlier than 1870, was fifteen feet eight inches when measured in 1Ss5-i. e., 165 years after. And the large cedar at Uxbridge, which was blown down in 179O was 11S years old when Gilpin meas ured it in 1776, and found it to be fifteen feet six inches. We should therefore be justified in assuming twelve feet as the pos sible first csntury's growth of a cedar even in England whence we may test the Proba- bility of the oldest cedars now on Mount Lebanon having been growing there 1n the days of King Solomon. In the year 1696 the traveller Maundren measured one of the lar gest of them and found it to be twelve yards

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The North American Review for October presents an attractive table of contents. Senator N P. Hill writes of ''Gold and SiI- yer as Standards of Value" In ''Some As- poets of Democracy in England" A.

How the Mormon missionaries in Europe delude people is illustrated by the case of Miss Regina Anderson, the young girl res- cued from the Mormons at New York by her sister. Her home near Stockholm, in Swe- den, was visited by a Mormon missionary, who painted to her in the most glowing col- OTIS the advantages she would derive from exchanging her humble lot for home among the Mormons. "He told me-" she says, sthat the weather is Utah was always pleasant, that every kind of fruit grew in the.streets, and that nobody lived there but rich men. 8 great many of whom were unmarried and wanted wives.
