Tree Planting in France.

The French thoroughly appreciate the
advantages to be derived from system
attic tree planting. Tracts of sand have
been covered with pine forests, and the
word Iande, borrowed, as it is thought,
from the German, is losing its meaning
Of waste" Till a century ago large
portion of the forest of Eontainebleau
consisted OF bare sand hills, but the
planting OF pines was begun, variety
capable of outstanding the severest
winters was eventually found, and mill
ions of trees now diffuse healthy and
agreeable odors. besides furnishing tim
Der and fuel. The decomposed tir needle
moreover, gradually form crust OF veg
etable mold, permitting the growth Of
trees and shrubs less able than the pine
to live on air. The Department of the
Landes, once barren region, with sand
so loose that people had to walk on stills,
Is covered with pines, and the problem of
draining the subsoil has been solved, as
described in Edmund About's story of
"Maitre Pierre" The losses by fire and
anxiety to produce something more re-
muneratlve than pine are now, however,
inducing schemes of artificial fertiliZa-
ton. In many French watering places
dunes have been transformed into
woods, thus holding out to seaside Wis
ltorS the attraction of agreea bic shade
and change from monotonous beach.
Shifting sands have been prevented
from extending inland. In some cases
dunes have been acquired by companies,
which, after planting them, have cut
them up into building lots, and have
seen them dotted with villas. Else

ADJUSTMENTS

ness the very beautiful spectacle and
comedy, THE Veteran" 1t is rich in
Oriental costumery, spirited in its mill
tary phase, romantic in it's plot. loves

strong as Animal, the Arabian Princess,
and Mr.. Hosmer as Colonel Delmar ap-
pears In new line of character, proving
his broad versatility. Miss Jackson's
widow is very much Of success, and
establishes the exceeding cleverness of
this young actress. Miss Weidman has
very agreeable part and assumes it with
good taste. Mr.. Higgins Irish Grand
Nizier is an exceedingly grotesque and
laughable bit of low comedy work. His
brogue ls too broad and thick, but the
action of the part in his hands is admir-
able. The closing scene in the hall of
thousand lights, with its scores of in
candescent electric colored lights burst
ing from lilies; the assault Of the French
troops and the fall of the walls of the Sui
tan's palace make up one of the most
effective spectacular scenes ever put upon
the Opera-house stage. The same play

ton of seats for the Sadie Martinot en-
gagement of Friday night. Supported
by Max Figman she is to appear in 'The
Passport" One San Francisco paper
said of her: miss Martinot is a come
dienne proper of the very higher class;
indeed, 1t Is no exaggeration TO say that
she IS the best comedienne now on the
stage" One critic of good judgment
says: II cannot recall now another
woman who could present with such re-
hned and dainty effect, or such delicious
grace and humor, the vagaries of lady
whose memory Is so treacherous she eau
not remember her maiden name, and
who has the most naive and ingenious
view OF most serious situations" "The
Passport is clever comedy, clean
piece OF work OF the English pattern. Its
dialogues are as numerous as its COM
plications. Miss Martinot has all the
personal attractions; she dresses beauti-
fully; everything about her is refine
menJ and dellcacy, and her voice and
manner are charming. All those ele-
ments she uses with artistic skill, never
presenting them as anything but acces-
sories of the woman she is playing.
The San Francisco Chronicle last De-
cember said OF the actress: "It is so
pleasant to meet with this kind of come
dienne; to be exhilarated by character
which has not breath of suggestiveness
or CLINT of coarseness. The part is
light; that is where Miss Martinot is SO
exceptional; she is as light and feathery
as the part. Her little gestures, her
natural methods in speech and busi-
ness, are catching. She does not put
forth the taintest effort to make an effect,
but she makes it surely. 1t is kind of
pleasure which one has not been able to
derive from any performance of the kind
we have had in long time. The piece is
we'll acted all through. Mr.. Figman is a
clever light comedian, little more flex-
ible than most of the late specimens OF
his kind We have seen."

LIFE WITHOUT INDIA RUBBER.
The Myriad Uses to Which the Rubber

Tree Are Applied.
In our own day it really seems as if we
couldn't possibly get on without India
rubber and gutta percha. Though both
are OF comparatively recent introduction,
the number OF purposes TO which they are
applied Is so immense that our civiliZa-
ton without them would at least be very
different from the form in which we
know it. To lump a few miscellaneous
examples IN single paragra Db-without
these two submarine cables would be
almost impossible, telegraphy would as
sumo many unlike notifications, go
loshes would not exist, waterproofs and
macklntoshes would be beautiful dream,

Elastic, in the sense in which the ladies
use the word, for tying hats or making
garters, would never have been evolved:
tobacco pouches would still be of silk or
leather; our combs would be of horn, and
our buttons, paper knives, penholders
and pipes much dearer than at present
AS Tor machinery, where would it be
without India rubber cinctures and
tubes and cups and valves and buffers !?
" mere would engineering be without the
endless minute application of the elastic
gum? Where would surgery be without
the innumerable devices, the syringes
and squIrts, the belts and bandages, of
which India rubber forms the sole and.
as 1t seems to us now, Indispensable basis?

When we go to the dentist, which is
