Observers in many Of the small cities
blessed with shade trees have noticed
that those trees near electric lights have
been bliGhted by something, and for the
lack of some more apparent cause, the
trouble is ascribed to the electric lights.
The local arboriculturists say that the
trees need darkness rs much as men need
sleep. There seems TO be some reason
in supposing that the nearness of the
electric lights is the cause of the droop-
ing of the trees, forsimilar trees, not ex-
posed to any other illumination than
that OF the sun, have not been affected
in that way and are bright and strong. =
