electric street railways. Their foliage
begins to turn brown and drop early
In August. to bud and even to blossom

all the more striking since the trees ON
the opposite side of the tramway show
no such erratic inclInatiOns. They be-
have like ordinary trees, losing their
foliage in the late fall and not putting
forth fresh blossoms until the spring
After advancing all kinds OF theories
the botanists have at length come to
believe that the cause Of the novel dis
