The Age Of Trees.

The age Of trees, provided these reach
exceptional dimensions, is subject upon
which fancy delights to exercise itself,
and there is no traveller, says the Re0ue
ScientifQSte, to whom innkeeperS, guides
and stage coach guards have not narrated
extraordinary things about the age of
trees that were a little out of the COM
mon as regards size. From this point
Of view it ls Of interest to call attention
to the conclusions Of Mr.. Gericke, a Ger
man forester, who asserts that the oldest
trees in Germany, Of which the age has
been ascertained with certainty, are not
more than 500 or $40 years old. It is
the conifers that appear to reach the
most advanced age. Among the group
OF trees with deciduous leaves, the oak
appears to attain the greatest longevity.
Mr.. Gericke mentions one at Aschaffen-
burg 410 years Of age. We know to a
certainty Of beeches 245 years old, of
birches OF from 16O to 200 years, Of
poplars Of 30 years, Of ashes Of 10
years, of elms Of 80 years, and Of alders
Of 145 years. We are here far from the
500, 1000, and 1,5OO years that legend
often attributes to trees; but it must not
be concluded that trees Of 1900 years
cannot exist. What cannot exist is the
authentic proof Of their age as long as

There will be a delegate convention
Of the friends of free silver held in the
city of Topeka on July Is, 1896, at
the hour Of l o'clock p. m., for the
purpose Of electing sixty delegates
at-lsrge and sixty slternstes to the
national Silver convention to be held
at St. Louis, Mo-, oD the 22d Of July,
1896.
Eleven delegates and eleven alter
mates will be selected at large by the
State conventions; and seven delegates
and seven alternstes will be elected by
each Congressional district
The basis of representation in said
State convention will be three delegates
for sach county OF 10000 population or
less; and one additional delegate for
each 1900 excess of population, or major
fraction thereof, as shown by the census
of 1895.

Long Flights of Birds.

The distance which birds travel is mar.
velous, the naturalists say, and laymeu
are inclined to believe them. w. Herbert
Purvis writes to the London Field that
every spring great numbers Of golden
and ringed plover arrive in the Hawaiian
islands, and leave the first week Of May.
The nearest poinvs Of the American
coast 70 which they 60 are in southern
California and the Alaska peninsula,
respectively, about 1000 geographical
miles, and there is no intervening land.
1t may be that the birds drop into the
water to rest occasionally, as ducks do,
during such long Fights, but 1t 10 not
probable. This is the longest regular
flight known to shore birds over the
water, but it is known pretty certainly
that some sea birds fly as a regular thing
much further than this during their
migrations The brant geese, for in
stance, are said 10 nest in Siberia, and to
fly north over the Arctic ocean and
south again TO Cape Hatteras, or there
sbouts and beyond, every year.

Surprising Facts About Cattle.

In the year ITO the weight Of fist
cattle in the London market averaged
only $40 pounds. This, too, at the aver
age age of years, prior to which time
they were not considered az being
marketable. In 1875 this average weight
had increased to nearly 482 pounds. In
1880, l05 years later, the average weight
Of cattle sold on the London market was
$50, almost twice what it was in ITO, and
at that time the average age at which
such beasts were sold was only A years,
as against years at the earlier date.
We have no statistics which show
exactly the average weight OF the fat
cattle Of to-day, but belive that we are
not far from the truth when We say that
it is at least twice what it was in 1880,
and upwards Of four times greater than
it was in ITO
