Though nobody has right to prescribe
the books for another to read, direction

Plant Young Trees.

Il has often been said that as soon as you
can excite a personal interest in the plant
ing of trees the forestry question will settle
itself. One Of the mistakes too frequently
made is, however, the announcement Of
the idea that it takes centuries to get trees
large enough for timber purposes.
If properly planted and properly cared
for, as they ought TO be in a well ordered
forest plantation, growth is extremely rap
id, and good timber trees could be obtained
within a quarter of a century Near where
this paragraph is written there is a speci-

10 years since a seed, which is4 feet 6inches
in circumference, and an American elm

get profitable forests In very short time

Sirius and rs Companions.

In Astronomische Nachrichten DR.. Auw-

recent instrumental investigations. twill
be remembered that from irregularity in
the motion Of this star. DIR. Auwers deter
mined some years previous TO Alvin Clark s
discovery Of its companion that such a com
panion must exist, but observation Of it
was obliged to await the increase in the size
of the telescopes. Adopting the recent de-
termination of the parallax Of Sirius, de
termination made by Gill and Elkin, DR..
Auwers finds that Sirius and its companion
are respectively 2.2o and i.0i times heavier
than the sun, that they are about l, ,S00,0O0.-
coo miles apart, and that the time of revo-
luton about each other is de4 years. The

A Noted singer In society.

Catalani gifted songstress and lovely

knowledge nor culture, and her ignorance
sometimes made her stumble into ludicrous
mistakes One Of her greatest triumphs in
London was the singing Of "God Save the
King" The town went mad over her rem
dering OF the national anthem. Two hun
dred guineas were paid her for singing il
once. But she always sang it "God shave
the King"
At the court Of saxe-Weimar she noticed
the marked attention paid TO gentleman
Of majestic appearance.
"Who is that" she asked.
THAT, madam, is the celebrated Goethe"
was the reply.
"Goethe-GoetheY" asked the puzzled
singer, to whom music was the only pro-
fession that brought celebrity. "On what
instrument does he play"
HE is the renowned author Of the 'Sor-
rows OF Werther,' madam"
"Oh, yes, l remember"
Then, abruptly addressing the great man,
she said with fascinating vivacity, "Oh,
