Evaporation From Trees.

II any of my readers next June will
put the end of bough OF some maple,
tree into pint bottle and stop the mouth
of the bottle with wax, SO that no vaDor
may escape, he will see in u few moments
the inside of the bottle become clouded,
and ill about half an hour small drop,
will begin to form on the glass and run
downward to the bottom. And Mt tho
end of several hours ne will discover tina.
he has from twelve to twenty grains of
water deposited in the bottle. And all
this will have been yielded forth from
the two or three leaves on the end of the
twig enclosed In the bottle.
Now, Il mapletrec of eight or ten
inches diameter, well formed and growth.
full, has on the average 25, 900 leaves on
it, and it is a safe computation to say
that such II tree will throw of in thu
space of every twelve hours $40, O01
grains weight of water. Now an acre
will easily contain GOO or 700 such trees.
and as the weight of one pint of water is
1000 grains, troy weight, it will be found
upon calculation that from single acre
OF forest land 1875 gallons OF pure waite,
are thrown off and distributed through
the body of the surrounding atmosphere
In every twelve hours.
If this seems incredible to YOU, can
assure you that it seems SO only because
you have no knowledge of trees. You
probably have been accustomed to look
upon them as collections of unforccfn!
bulk; whereas they are active creatures,
and are forever ut work. In one form OF
another they are always busy and of them
it may truly be said that they not only
adorn the landscape, but they rule tn.
atmosphere. They are thoroughly vital
formations, and are always in action.
They are as full Of sluices and channels Il,
the human body is of veins, and the tidal
movement going on beneath their bark is
one of prodigious force. The amount oil
water that their normal condition dc.
mands for their circulation is so great
that only knowledge can credit it. But.

the conductor entered the car and stood

"Fare, MISS" said the conductor.
The girl blushed. "Jimnie-I mean

"He paid his own fare, not yours"

''But he didn't take ride. He only

"You amt got the price of aFidc. OH

But the meek little Harlem maid, witnj

SPANISH SLEEVES IN STYLE.

Among innovations none is growing
more rapidly into popularity than the
Spanish sleeves, which seem to have
struck the feminine fancy so strongly of
late. The fact that they are very becom-
ing to women of almost any shape has
probably had great deal to do with
their being favorites just now. At all
events, they have gained supremacy in
the world of fashion which they will not
readily lose. They are especially popu-
lar for carriage and travelling mantels,
and are mostly made of expensive large
patterned stuffs. They are certainly
very suitable for the full, pulled dress
sleeves now SO much worn They are close
to the elbow and have several rows of gath
ers before falling down open almost to
the hem of the mantle, and allowing the
undersleevc to be visible. The back of
the mantle is gathered the whole length
in rows exactly corresponding with the
sleeves. Tight-ftting sleeves are GER
tainly dying out. Even where they are
seen they no longer fit the upper arm
closely, but bulge out into high puff
just before the armholc. This shape of
dress sleeve must, of course, influence
those of jackets and mantels, which arc
also not unfrequently made of contrast
ing stuffs, velvet, plush and others

WHY WOMEN WEAR BLACK.

That devottd disciple of Delsartc, Hen
iictta Russell, says that the only woman
who can wear black to advantage is the
one who has black eyes, black hair, and
is fat. Most girls of sixteen could wear
black, but there is always II color that
each person looks better in than in black,
which she thinks should never be worn
in clothes, not even in mourning by
ChristNns. "Why, then, if black is so
bad, is it so generally worm" asks n
writer in the New York C6mmcrcjul i'd
re'fis.r. "Lying north OF Europe on an
