Planting Trees In Groves.

The gradual determination of our ma
tive forest trees should lead us TO take
some interest i'll making good, so far as
we can, this wholesale slaughter. There
are many farms in all sections Of this
country where small groves OF trees in
digenous TO the soil and climate might
be planted in locations practically of no
value for any other purpose. In addi-
tion to the native forest trees there are
many varieties of nut trees which would
do we'll in the localities indicated. and
be in time source of profit as well.
In many sections Of the country maple
groves may be planted with profit. a
grove of 80 trees Will not occupy much
more than quarter of an acre of
ground and will produce from 200 to
$50 pounds Of maple sugar annually,
worth on an average 10 cents per
pound; this is TO say nothing of the
advantages of such a grove for shade, for
wind breaks and for the purpose of
equalizing moisture and temperature.
A grove OF maple trees could be planted
on every farm where the tree will
thrive which is % acres on more in ex-
tent, and the ground occupied will new
er be missed. Such grove in the pas
ture would be of sufficient benefit to the
cows to pay for setting ii out, even if
no other returns were possible.

The Popular Science News states that
an exhaustive series of experiments has
recently been carefully made by Pro
fessor Atkinson to determine the exact
action of the Roentgen rays on growing
plants. The results. unfortunately, are
of q very negative character. He found
that though plant tissues absorb the
Roentgen rays quite freely there is 10
marked influence on the growing parts.
There are no visible external injuries
even when the parts are exposed at close
range large part of the time during
several days
This is the more remarkable since
the general impression Is that the rays,
even with comparatively short expo
sures, are injurious TO the human it's

toxic or turning influence on plants

China Decoration.

1t is of course we'll known that in
the present method of insuring the finest
results in decorating china not only are
silver and gold and iron the principal
materials from which the paints are ob-
tanned for the purpose, but that pecul-
lar process, not so generally under
stood. has TO be resorted to in order to
extract the available medium from the
metal. Thus in the case Of gold this
curious and interesting process is spe-
cially illustrated. A IS goldpiece is
placed in graduated glass and upon
it is poured an ounce and half of aqua
regina compound of equal volumes of
chlorohydric and nitric acids-which
dissolves the gold, by the next day the
metal and acid forming a chloride of
gold. On the gold being entirely dis
solved there appears small deposit of
white powder in the bottom of the glass,
which is chloride of silver from the
alloy in the gold. The solution of gold
is carefully poured off into another YES
sci 30 get rid of this deposit of silver.
1t is then diluted with water aud pro-
sulphate of iron added to effect pre-
cipitation. Immediately the liquid be-
comes cloudad, and the gold. in the
form of a light powder, begins to fall
to the bottom of the glass. On the
liquid being poured off and the gold
powder washed several times with clear
water it is drained and placed in shall
low plate before a fire to dry, after
which the powder is ground or rubbed
down and mixed with a preparation Of
oil called fux. This is the primary ma
terial for the beautiful carmine. puppies

FLOWER THIEVES
They are Begir ming to Get ir
Their Work Early in the
Season.

The flower thieves are already be-
ginning to get in their work and are
making themselves unbearably OBJ
noxious, especially in the eastern part
of town where the flower beds have
been plundered to an alarming extent
This is a crime that should be ferreted
out by the police with as much dill
gence as any other crime and when
caught the thieves should be severely
dealt with. Last night flower vandals
entered yard on north fourteenth
street and completely stripped beau
tiful bed of hyacinths and tulips that
had just been opened by yesterday g
sunshine. pulling the plants up by the
roots and otherwise destroying the
appearance of the bed. Numerous
thefts of like nature are common, not
only in the eastern part of the city, but
everywhere, and active steps should
be taken to stop this kind Of work. Ii

prizes more than another it is her

exercise it with good Judgment and
