HIS FOUR SCORE YEARS.
ALFRED TENNYsON, THE POET, HAS
PASSED THE BIBLE AGE.
~ Se-e-;1ai is, Y

A Drief biography OF En.}and's Poet
His Chaructcr--Is He tho Greatest Liv-
Ing Poet?
Many people believe Alfred Tcnnyson to
to be at the head Of living poets Not only
is he accorded this rank from his position ms
poet laureate of England, an Office that
has been held by many of the greatest Eng
lisb pocts, but his works are better known
both in England and America than those of
any other living poet.
Yet Tennyson, though living, may be SAID
to be a dead poet. He is an octoscnarian--
his eighteth birthday falling on Aug. G-and
though it may not DC impossible for so old Il
man to write poetry, no man of that age is
likely to look upon the world with that
FRESHNESS of the heart" as Byron declares
Which, out of all the lovely things we see,
Extracts emotions beautiful and new;
and which seems to he essential to the divine
nttlutus
Tennyson was born In 1909, TT Somersby, a
village in Lincolnshire. There were large
families i'll England in those days, and the
poet was one Of twelve children, his father
being a Clergyman. At ~ he went to Trim
ity college and at 20 gained gold medal for
a poem on TiDlbuctoo. He seems to have
chosen poetry as a profession from the start.
But reputation did not come easily Indeed,
Tennyson did work which deserved to mark
him us u coming light in the field of poetry
without attracting especial attention. He
published The May Queen without gaining
much reputation, and the surp, sing part Of
this is that the poem is the simplest and best
adapted to tho great mass of verse readers Of
any of his poems. For years it has touched
the hearts of, not thousands, but millions,
and was calculated to commend itself ut the
time Of lis nppearaMce as well as today.

They tell some good stories about Justice OF
tho Peace Nelson's style of handling the causes
which como into his court for adjudication.
1t is said that when case was on trial there
recently, in which it was alleged by both
plaintiff and defendant that certain witness
had been tampered with, be instructed tho
jury as follows;
''lf you find that tho plaintiff has been
monkeying with the witness you will return
verdict for the defendant, but If you think
1t was tho defendant monkeyed with this
witness you will find for the plaintiff"
Another time, when tho plaintiff failed to
appear at the time set for trial, and the de-
fendant's attorney moved for Judgment IN
his favor, be exclaimed:
"This court will not render any Judgment
until he has been paid his costs-sa. 80, please :"

Making a Dcscrt Productive.

DR.. G. " Poore has told the way in which
the Landes of France have been reclaimed
and made habtable by carrying out the
plans first applied by Bremontier ut about
the beginning OF this century. By reason of
the light character of the sands of the region,
and its exposure to the powerful winds of
the Bay Of Biscay, its drainage presented
special difficulties, which could not be over
come by tho ordinary resources Of engineer
ing. Recognizing that it was useless to con
tend against the forces of nature, Bremon-
tier determined to Try to make use Of them
for the accomplishment of his purpose.
Knowing the virtues OF planting and pro-
noting the growth Of u net work Of roots, he
planted tract of the dunes with peas, which
would grow in the sand and send their roots
to considerable depth, and for more per-
manept effect, with the maritime pine.
The pine seeds were sown mixed with seeds
of tho common broom, whose shrubs might
serve as nurse plants to the infant pines, and
the sowings were made in n direction alright
angles to the prevailing wind. A screen OF
hurdles made of gorse or of plants deeply
driven into tho sand was placed on the wind
ward side Of the seed ground, and tue seed
ground itself was thatched with pine branches
and other suitable material. III the course of
time tho brooms reached their full growth,
"Dllc tuS plutS SOltiuutA w SAo "a oOpPcu
them and crowded them out The maritime
pines have grown we'll and have proved Il
very profitable tree, yielding moderately
good timber and much turpentine, in addi-
ton TO which good business is
dono in charcoal Thus the waste moor
lands on tho shores of the Bay of Biscay
have become OF great commercial value.
Tho railway journey CT four or five hours
from Bordeaux to Bayonno is now made
through long, monotonous pine for
est. Tho cultivation of tho pino improves
| the soil, which is gradually enriched and al
tered in quality by the dead leaves and other
vegetable debris which fall upon it. In some
places clearings havo been made III the for
| ests and vineyards planted.-PopularS Science

TREES FElIED BIT ELECTRICITY.

A woodman's Axe will Boon be . Thing Of
tho Past.
Hitherto machines. for telling trees
have been driven by steam power, but
this is sometimes inconvenient, es-
pecially in thick woods, and electric
power has recently been adopted in the
Galician forests. Usually In such ma
chimes thetrunk is sawed, but in this
case it is drilled. When the wood isof
a soft nature the drill has o sweeping
motion and cuts into the trunk by
means of cutting edges on its sides.
The drill is actuated by an electric mo-
tor mounted. on a carriage, which is
brought up close to the tree and shack
led to it. The motor is capable Of
turning round its verticle axis, and the
drill is geared to it in such a manner
that it can turn through an r Of a
circle and make q sweeping cut into
the trunk.
The first cut made the drill is adj
vanced a few inches and another Sec
ton of the wood removed in the same
way until the trunk is half severed.
It is then stamped to keep the cut
from closing, and the operation contin-
ued until it would be unsafe to 60 On
The remainder is finished by q hand
saw or an axe. The current IL conveyed
to the motor byinsulated leads brought
through the forest from a generator
placed in some convenient site.-Lon-
