A Linden Trcs of Peculiar Form, tho Ro-

TIE determined and successful eff
forts that have been made TO save fine
trees in Central park, New York. mt
points were they are especially needed
have resulted in the production of
many vegetable curiosities. One of
the most interesting of these is a
linden in the northern part of the
park. The tree stands on what APP
pears to be an artificial mound, at the
junction OF n footpath with that por-
ton of the drive directly below the
Block house. The perils of youth
had evidently threatened at various
times to destroy the tree, for the trunk
gives evidence of an early cleft. But
the lfee was of sturdy constitution,
and three great limbs sprang from the
injured trunk, while dozen or more
small ones clustered about the three
great branches. The result is trunk
fourteen or fifteen inches in diameter
at the ground, only fifteen or twenty
inches long, and swelling at tho forks
to fully two feet in diameter. Mean
while the great roots clutch the mound
on which the tree stands as with the
grip of a great hand Outwardly the
tree Is perfect conc of dense foliage,
and it seems u thorough type Of
vegetable health. "

Fermentation Points.

Punctuation points are comparative
ly modern. Only the period is more
than 500 years old. The colon IA re-
puted to date from 14s5, the comma
about 1920, tho semicolon about 1877,
and others have been gradually added.
It is obvious, then, that writing,
printing and other photographic arts
might dispense in our day with many
of their marks OF punctuation and lose
nothing Of the sense.
