The Trees Of Paris,

Paris is probably the only city in tho
world which has trees that bloom twice
year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are 1000 Of them
planted in the squares and along the
boulevards, and 10000 buttonwoods.
The trees in Paris are numbered, just
like the people, the cabs, the animals.
the lampposts aud the matches. These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for about five years, and only
some Of them have made practice of
it. These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part Of July, and all the leaves
fall off. A month or SO afterward they
all come out into flower again and little
green leaves shoot forth continually rn-
til they are nipped by the first frost.
There is a reason for this, and the sci
entists. worked over the matter for u
long time to be able to explain it.
Briefly and unscientifically the trees
lose their leaves because they are at.
tackled by a little fungus which is blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still full of sap, they start to put forth
leaves all over again.

of these remarks and noticing the great

without showing any surprise, he spoke
to one Of the walters in a low tone.
At the moment when the German tri.

Lontlo:, bridge,

The Britons themselves were quite
unable to construct q bridge Of any kind
unless in the primitive methods observ.
ed at Post bridge aud Two bridges, on
Dartmoor. by slab of stone laid across
two bowlders. The work. therefore, was
certainly undertaken T. Roman engi.
neers. We have. in the next place, to in.
quire what kind of bridge was built at
that time by the Romans. They built
bridges Of wood and of stone. Many Of
these stone bridges still remain; in 9TH
or cases the pieces Of hewn stone still
remain. The bridge over the Thames,
however, was of wood. This is proved
by the fact that had it been of the solid
Roman construction in stone the piers
would be still remaining; also by the
fact that London had to be contented
with wooden bridge till the year
1176, when the first bridge of stone was
commenced.
Considerations as to the comparative
insignifcanceo of London in the first cen.
tury, as to the absence of stone in the
neighborhood and as to the plentiful
supply Of the best wood in the world
from the forests north of the city con.
firm the theory that the bridge was built
Of wood. We have only, therefore, to
learn how Roman engineers built
bridges of wood elsewhere in order to
know how they built bridge of wood
over the Thames. Mall Gazette.
