Trees That Die When Hen Live Near Them

The deaths Of nearly all the pine
trees in Asbury Park give rise to al in

it is true that this trco is so wild by ma
ture that it will not endure dOmcstica-

in the sand close to the seastcre of
which this seems to be tine. Asbury
Park is built upon former sea beach
extending three miles inland to the edge
of the great forest that reaches from Ea-
tontown, back Of Long Branch, to Cane
May. This forest is called THE Pines, ="
because of the prcpondcrancc Of pine
trees in it, the other trees that are p,en-
tiful there being mainly oaks of four
varictica, with few magnolias, tulips,
sassafras and hickory trees and hollieS
and laurcls.
The pines still flourish in the woods
behind Asbury Park, but in the town a
large fraction Of the few that remain
| are sicily and dying. Thousands have
died and been cut down since the tree
embowered town was built in the woods
! q quarter Of century ago. The viii
| layers say they die because it kills them
to have hrman beings walk beside them.
i'Ihey say that even i'll the forest the
pines that stand beside the footpaths are
the first to die. Others credit their de.
struction in the village to the shaking
of the earth by the heavy trolley cars
aud steam railway trains, and still 9th.
ers declare that manuring. watering
and topsoilirg the sandy ground is what
has done the damage. The truth is yet
to BE determined. but certain it is that
