STORIES TOLD BY OLD TREES.
Their Rings Tell Of Wet and Dry
seasons n Hundred Years Ago

Rings Tell of Wet md Dry
Seasons n Hundred Years Ago..
It has been found that the rings OF
growth visible In the trunks of trees
have a far more interesting story to
tell than has usually been supposed.
Everybody knows they indicate the
unmber of years that the tree has
lived, says the New York Advertiser,
but J. Keuchler Of Texas has recently
made experiments and observations
which seem to show that trees carry
in their trunks a record Of the weather
conditions that have prevailed during
the successive years of their growth.
Several trees, each more than 10
years old, were felled, and the order
and relative width of the rings OF
growth In their trunks were found to
agree exactly. The fact showed that
all the trees had experienced the same
stimulation in certain years and the
same retardation in other years. AS
Stunning that the most rapid growth had
occurred in wet years and the least
rapid in dry years, it was concluded
that out of the 1874 years covered by
the life Of the trees sixty had been
Try wet. six. extremely wet, eighteen
wet, seventeen average as to the sup
ply of moisture, nineteen dry, eight
very dry and six extremely dry. But
when the records of the rainfall, run
ming back as far as 1910, were consult
ed it was found that they did not all
agree with the record of the trees.
Still it could not be denied that the
rings in the trunks. told a true story of
the weather influences which had at
! fected the trees in successive years.
The conclusion was, therefore, reached
that the record of the rings contained
more than a mere index of the annual
rainfall; that it showed what the char
acter of the eason had as to sum
shine, temperature, evaporation, reg
ularity of the supply of moisture and
the like; in short, that the trees con-
tainel indelibly imprinted in their
trunks more than 100 years of natures
history which we might completely de-
cipher If we could but look upon the
face Of nature from a trees point of

Are Romantic Marriages Prudent!
Marriage in the old world is general
ly a matter Of arrangement; is conduct
ed, more or less financially, on the bas-
of what is called common-sense.
Marriage usually results in the New
World from personal affinity, from
some intense form of emotionalism, in
dependent of material conditions or
'avoring circumstances. We Ameri-
cans are more romantic, connubially,
than any other people under the sun.
We are gradually less so as the repub-
lie ages, but we are still inclined to
consult u feelings rather than our
reason in choosing mates.
Romance is an excellent thing in ma
trimony, but it may be carried too far
In determining the question. When it
survives matrimony, and is found to be
a large ingredient in it's composition
after years Of continuance, it Is az
beautiful as it is c~ommendable. 1t is
