CURIOUS TREES.

Several That Are Valuable, Gigantic nnd
Historic
The largest orange tree in the south
- gigantic specimen which grows out
If the rich soil in Terre Bonne parish,
Louisiana. 1t is fifty feet high aud If
Teen feet in circumference at the base.
It's yield has often been ten thousand
oranges per season.
The 'tallow tree'' of China has a
pith from one inch to two feet in di-
lmeter, according to the size of the
Tree, which is composed of a greasy
wax, which is so highly volatile that
p It often catches fire spont aneously,
consuming the tree to the very ends of
its roots.
The largest oak tree now left stand
ing in England is "Cowthorp's oak"
which is seventy-eight feet in circum-
ference at the ground. The oldest tree
in Britain is Parliamentary oak"
in Clipstone park, London, which is
known to be fifteen hundred years old.
The largest apple tree in New York
state is said to be one standing near
the town of Wilson. 1t was planted in
they year 1915, and it is on record that
it once yielded thirty-thr ee barrels of
apples in a single season.
There are four hundred and thirteen
species of trees found growing within
the limits of the United States. The
curiosity of the whole lot is the black
ironwood, of Florida, which is thirty
per, cent. heavier than water. Well
dried black ironwood will sink in water
almost as quickly as will a bar of lead.
The life tree" of Jamaica is harder
to kill than any other species of wood
growth known to arboriculturists. It
continues to grow and thrive for
months after being uprooted and ex-
posed to the sun.

Macs Rejoinder.

The captain of Cunard liner one day
while crossing the ''herring pond,"
found that his ship was not doing the
speed he considered she ought to, and,
putting on his best frown, he went
down to the room of the chief engineer,
a hard and dry ScotchmaD and an
amateur violfnist. The captain knocked
at the door; the gay chords of Scotch
reel played on a fiddle was the only an
swer to his summons, so he burst the
door open. "Mr. Mac" he Numbered,
''what are you about? 1 am not at all
satisfied with your engines; we go like
snails, SIR" Mr.. Mac made a flourish
with his bow, and, after a jolly chord,
said: "Sair, my engines should hae
been in Liverpool these three days. It's
your slow old ship that's at fault"

Wide Tires for Heavy Wagons.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.


IL is too bad that we have never been able
10 nave a law enacted in Massachusetts, regu-
latlDg the width OF wheel tires. The wear
and tear on the roads would be very much
reduced by providing suitable bearing for
the loads and the strain on the draught ant
mails would be lessened. More than this
everybody using the roads could make bet
tor time or haul heavier loads, owing TO the
improved condition of the highway.
Again the expense of maintenance, which
Is now such charge on the taxpayer, would
be materially reduced.
The action of the narrow tire is to cut into
the roadway. and ruts are soon formed which
grow steadily deeper. On the other hand
with width OF tire appOrtioned To the load
the road Is being constantly rolled and kept
In shape or course IL would be unjust TO
compel tho immediate substitut6n of wide
tires, but a limit of time, say fiv Fears, could
be given for the use of old tires While requir.
ing new or repaired work to conform to the
standard.
The opposition 20 this innovation has been
most bitter, and IL is funny to observe that
those most interested, farmers and teamsters.
have been most strenuous in opposition. An
exception, however, must be made for the
Cape which for years has been anxious for
the remedial legislation TO benefit its sandy
roads.

Tendencies In Fire Insurance.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.


Tho fire insurance companies have been
having things pretty much their own way in
this State, and we might say New England,
for the last year or two. Matters in Boston
and some other sections had come TO a pass
that II was recognized generally that a sharp
advance in rates was essential to the securing z
or insurance protection. In insurance, as in
other things, nothing succeeds like success,
and consequently IL is not strange that the
companies have pushed their Advantage In some
cases rather far. There has grown up in some
quarters a disposition toward arbitrary rule
and regulation. while the rates have not al
ways been adjusted on u comprehensive
equitable plan.
The resembling of the Maine restrictive
legislation gave the companies a magnificent
opportunity To demonstrate their desire TO
meet the public in a liberal spirit by alleviat-
ing the hard conditions imposed during the
struggle with the State. Present profits, how
ever. blinded the members of the New En-
gland Exchange to future conditions, ana the
halting measure of relief adopted by the
majority, after much travail, was, as We have
remarked, not calculated to discourage logis-
lative Interference.
IL is not surprising, therefore, in view OF
the situation, that omlnous mutterings of
popular discomfort are rising which portend
trouble for the companies by and by. We risk
little In saying that measures are likely TO
come before the General Court OF Massachu-
aetts, which il will be very doubtful IL the in
suranco companies defeat. Free trade
in insurance, for instance. is likely 10 become
a slogan.

THE MOrORMAN.

We guess that the men who stand on
the front platforms of the trolley cars OF
the city OF Providence are about as cool.
headed, careful, conscientious and intelli.
gent body OF fellows as are to be found
in any sort OF employment we can think
of.
The motorman on trolley car has a
good deal to do and good deal TO think
about The physical labor OF standing
on the front platform for we don't know
how many hours day, handling brake
and the motor apparatus, is no light job,
and besides that the motorman must be
eternally vigilant, cautious and consider
ate of his car, hes passengers and the
portions of the town through which he is
running and he must always make his
schedule time.
We like to watch the motorman. We
have watched him a good many times.
As rule, he Is a cool chap, and appears
to take things easy. That is, vigilance
has become a sort OF second nature to
him like the pilot of a ship. Erect, alert,
and looking always ahead. Occasionally
he may be OF nervous temperamentyand
bends over his brake with hands firmly
ciutching brake and motor gear, frown
making deep creases in his forehead,
changing his bell desperately at the least
scent of danger ahead. But, whether of
the occasionally nervous disposition or Il
the solid, calm, nervy kind, he is invari-
ably and always attending strictly TO
business. We have yet to see motorman
on a Providence trolley car doing any
thing else but attending to business with
an earnestness and persistency that is
wonderful II must be trying job, how
ever much the motorman becomes accus-
toned TO its exactness, and however easy
and without excitement he may seem TO
control his car in passing through a street
crowded with vehicles and foot passengers.
We always rejoice when the car gets out
on bit of easy road when the motorman
may relax and let her hum!
To the kind of men who are on the
front platform OF our trolley cars In Pro-
to the discipline maintained
among them, to their capacity for cool
ness and good judgment and the esprit de
corps that seems TO distinguish the serv-
ice, Is due, we believe, the freedom from
accident which has made the record of
our splendid trolley service notable. Per-
haps, some day, an artificial thing may be
produced that may be hitched to the front
platform OF the trolley car and contribute
to relieve the watchfulness and care of the
motorman. We hope for this, for the
sake of the motorman. But up to date
no car fender that we have seen or read
about can take his place. We feel absolute
confidence in him whether we are riding
In his car or crossing in front of it. He
IS fine fellow and knows his business.
