Rose Tree Ten Centuries Old.

Last winter 1t was said that the
famous one-thousand-year-o!d rose
tree Of Hildesheim was dying, and the
quaint old town made famous by
Bishop Bernwald 800 years ago was
greatly dismayed at the news. Great
care was taken of it. however, and it
has safely survived the winter and the
changcablc months of spring, and is
now as flourishing as ever, and ever
putting forth fresh shoots. There can
be no doubt that the roots, If not the
actual stem, are at least 800 years old.
This was proved conclusively by Hum
bOldt. who was greatly interested in
the matter, and who went carefully
through many old manuscripts to see
if there were any truth in the story.
Documents dating from the eleventh
century state that when Bishop Hen
clio rebuilt the Cathedral in 1O55-1O61,
after it was burnt down, he inclosed
the roots Of the tree within a vault.
which still exists, and upon this vault
he constructed the crypt, spreading out
the branches upon it's outer walls. The
vault was especially constructed so
that this might be done without in
terfcling with the growth of the
branches in any way. In 1849 the stem
was 22k feet high and the branches
covered about 80 feet of the external
wall. Since then it has been cut and
trimmed a good deal to make it more
hardy and to prevent the threatened
decay.

rhe Wonderful Power Will Ee Gold for
8 Cents q Gallon-An Immense Plant
Being Established In New xork
City.

Pushcart vendors will soon sell liquid

house will have its own cooling ap-
paratus. A plant capable Of turning out
1900 gallons OF liquid air daily has
been established in West Thirty-third
street, and a company expects to put
the discovery on the market in a short
time as a commercial product. The air
is produced with comparative cheap
ness, and will be sold as a r%efrigerant
and as a source of power. The pro-
moters of this new novelty gave a pub
lie exhibition yesterday of their ap-
p~aratus, and demonstrated that they
could produce air much cheaper thar
any one else. The apparatus for pro-
ducing the air is the Ostergren-Burger
process. While the system follows
Tripler's invention in the main, the

interesting line of work have invented
a motor for utilizing the stored energy
OF the liquid air and hope for a patent
within a few weeks. Already they
have a tiny turbine operated by a jet
OF vaporized liquid, and this turbine
drives a fan. Rooms occupied by peo-
pie can thus be conveniently cooled.
1t is thought that by using the liquefy-
ing apparatus in place CT an ammonia :.
plant cold storage may be had as
cheaply as by any other method. 1t
has been a puzzling matter hitherto to
put liquid air in a convenient shape
for transportation. 1t was found to be
unsafe to inclose it in sealed recepta-
Giles, because evaporation was sure to
a place, and the pressure which
would thus be exerted from the
interior upon the walls of the con-
tanning vessel would be %ruinous. But
a plan has been devised for obviating
this difficulty. yet without allowing ex-
pensive waste. A vessel that has
double metallic walls holds the fluid,
and the air which evaporates on es-
Gaping from the inner receptacle flows
out between the two metallic walls,
but 1t is kept there under pressure. 4
safety valve prevents any serious ten
sion, and yet discourages the volatlliz-
ing process. The vessel described is
lnclosed in a much larger one Of wicker
or similar material, and excelsior ia
packed between it and the outside
walls OF the reservoir. In these recep-
tacles the company will put the air on
the market at a low igure.-Pittsburg

1897, and who has, as yet, made no set

though there lacks $994.66 of having been
paid to the treasurer the full sum OF
$4200.9S. the amount Of the taxes which
were committed to Bickford for collec-
ton.
AS near as can he learned Bickford
left town Dec. %, and since that time
nothing has been seen or heard Of him.
Henry NJ. Cole, the first selectman, told
a News correspondent that BickfOrd was
short $500 or 500 on his collections. He
said that the last that had been heard of
Bickford was on Dec. %, when he Is said
to have gone to Clinton, where he paid
his dues in the Odd Fellows Lodge and
then he said he was going to California.
Charles E. Sherman, the town treas
urerr. and one Of the bondsmen of Bick,,
ford, said steps had been taken toward
ford
Lorenzo Baxter, the second bondsman
Of Bickford, said he had not the slightest
doubt but B;ckford had gone away with
the money which belonged to the town.
Selectman Cole said that the selectmen
would call on the -bondsmen to make the
loss good If Bickford does not show up
and give an account of the money which
he is short. Thus far the bondsmen have
kept the matter quiet, hoping that they
might be able to locate Bickford.

An Auburn man who owns stable in
Lewiston. has one more horse on his
hands than he needs. And the worst
of it is he can't get rid Of 1t. The owner
Of the horse hired stable room OF the
Auburn man and several weeks ago ne
suddenly left town. Among the credi-
tors was the Auburn man whose bill
for rent of stable was at the time more
than the value of the horse. The horse
was left to the mercy Of the Auburn
man and is still in his possession. Since
the debtors departure the Auburn
mans bill has grown rapidly because
Of the fact that he has since boarded
the horse while before he only gave it
stable room. He is at a loss to know
how to get rid of the horse. He can't
sell it or give it away because 1t isn't
his; he thought to turn 1t into the
streets but was told by an agent Of the
society with a long name that he would
be arrested forthwith for cruelty to
animals. The agent OF this society con-
suited legal advise which was that he
had no right to kill the horse. The Au-
burn man dislikes to bring suit in the
regular process of law for this will
only add to his financial, burdens be-
cause his bill is already more than
double the value Of the horse. He IS
hoping that the poor debtor will come
round before long and square accounts.
Meantime he is trying to find way
out OF his troubles.
