nishes interesting facts in regard to the
comet discovered by Barnard last Sep
TENDER. He says the comet has now lost
all its tail, and continueds-"The comet
was subject to much strnin and stress in
passing that part of its orbit nearest the
sun and it is 10Y showing the effect of
these forces in the following way:-Its
body is evidently becoming disintegrated
and fragments are seen to be streaming
behind. the comet in the form of a tail,
directed not from but toward the sun.
"This mass of matter was measured by
Barnard on July III, and his measures
show that its least possible length is
430, 600 miles, and It's least possible dia.
meter 144,Oe0 miles, SO that fragments
which have already broken off from this
comet amount to at least seventy quad
rillion cubic miles. The comet itself is
still fairly bright. and were it not for the
fragments which are seen to follow it
would seem to be in perfectly normal
condition. AS it is, we know it must
have lost an immense quantity of original
substance. This Is an interesting case to
astronomers, as it shows the effect Of the
enormous forces to which every comet IS
subject at the time of its perihelion pas
sage, while the phenomenon forms an in
teresting commentary on the text that
comets, even the stoutest of them, must
be shortlived things. ~ Washington Star.

The value of Frat Trees.


"a good fruit tree is worth fifty dol
lars" we heard an old farmer say re-
Gently. If this is true, an orchard OF one
acre, containing fifty trees, should in
crease the value of the farm upon which
it is situated by the pleasant sum of
s. 00-less, of course, the original value
of that individual acre. While it might
be difficult to find q purchaser who would
accept this valuation, my experience
inclines me to the belief that the farmers
assertion was not far from right. A
money yield of three dollars per annum
from each tree would give SIX per cent.
| upon This capitalized value. tits a poor
tree that will not average this, even allow
ing for of years, and of years are not SO
| frequent as to alternate regularly with
the bearing mes. A healthy tree, prop
erly cared for, will give a crop two years
out of three that will pay for harvesting.
| Occasionally q tree will give a crop that
| will pay the interest for many years In
one. a
An Early Richmond cherry tree paid
| me last year IS, beside the fruit used at
home, which was sufficient to pay entire
cost of gathering. From a sweet cherry
tree this year ] sold three and one-half
| bushels at 80 per busheL
Two Chickasaw plum trees, growing SO
closely together that their branches
intertwine as IL they were one tree, the
two covering a space of about five hum
bred square feet, frequently pay $40 in a
season, which would be at the rate of
over $500 per acre.
A pear tree near by yields ten bushels
in a good season, and 81 per bushel is not
an unusual price. Three early apple
| trees his scissors gave over fifty bushels,
which sold at from eighty cents to 81. 20
per bushel. The trees were SO full that I
had to picking while yet very
green, to save the limbs from breaking.
Yet the same trees last year gave Il crop
that paid more than six per cent. upon q
value of $50 each.-AmcTtcdn AgrtcultaT-

OF his characteristic appeals, directed
straight at the hearts of his hearers. At
one point In his discourse he exclaimed
