The Sap Of Trees.

Probably nearly nine ont of every
ten believe that sap ascends in the
spring and returns in the fall. Al
though | have never been able to find
anything to the contrary IN any book
l have ever seen, know from long
and careful observation that this is
not so. The sap never descends. 1t
tulhlls Its Office IN causing the growth
Of the leaves and adding another to
the rings which indicate the annual
growth Of the tree. So soon as the
leaves fall the sap begins to reasceud.
THIS can be proved IN various ways.
Any farmer who has cut pile OF hard
wood in November has noticed the
sap flies gathering around the ends Of
the sticks on warm days. They ATE
attracted by the sap, which can be
seen issuing from the ends OF the
sticks, which sap had already begun
to ascend before the sticks were cut.
ANY hunter who has set line of log
traps for sable has noticed the sap
flowing from maple sticks on warm
days IN November. Pmtudges begin
to bud Ia November, and lind some
thing besides dry twlgs, OF they would
not bud But a still more convincing
proof is that In some warm falls | have
known maple syrup to be made aud
sold IN quantities Of several gallons at
time. Pussy willows, whore grow
ing in wet places, often bloom IN warm
November and December. One can sec
that the buds on the horse chestnuts
are swelling in January The sap
which is proved to be present IN all
these cases Is not the sap which went
up in the spring descending, but new
sap, which Is going up. No one ever
speaks of the sap in cornstalk golus
down in the fall 1t has ted the leave.
and matured the corn, and its WORK
ended there; so IN the tree each yr.,r
the sap has finished Its work when th"
leaves have matured, anI new crop
of sap at once begins to take It's place.
OF course, this sap cannot ascend when
the wood is frozen, but whenever the
wood is thawed 1t keeps ascending
Another popular error is that trees
in growing carry their branches up
with them as they grow-or, to make
it palmer, that a limb which is five
feet from the ground will in time be
ten feet. The fact Is that limbs grow
as much lower on the lower siie ~
they do higher on the upper side, and
no more. a limb which is an inch IN
diameter, if 1t grows to be three inches,
will be an inch further from the
ground on the upper side and an inch
nearer on tie under side The forks
or crotches in trees often get TO be
considerably higher from the two
branches which form it growing to-
gether AS they increase IN size. The
top of the tree grows up, but limbs do
not rise above where they are when
they first start out.

Trundle-Bed Town.

Every man who's under seven
Knows a borough much like heaven
With four towers round and tall
lust inside the nursery wall.
All its streets are through and through
Paved with cuttings red and blue.
And boulevard OF white
Runs along its bolster site.
Mother is the borough's queen,
But the only ruling seen
Is her taking tax Of prayer
Nightly from each resident there.
Hushcd and still it is by day,
For the dreams are made that way;
What save silence could devise
All the nishttime's sweet surprise.
Innocence and sleep abide
In this town at eyenude.
Only men devoid Of sin
Having right 10 enter in.
Pillows soft and white and fair
Help to answer mothers prayer
That her men rest snug and sound
While the wheels OF night 20 round.
went up there, years ago.
Every night. loved it so,
And wish knew the way
Up there still at close Of day.

Enid Wave: George Saxton, living
northeast of North Enid, was taken
by surprise Thursday. Several
strangers from Illinois, in company
with several real estate agents Of Per
ry, drove around his place Thursday
evening and upon coming up to the
house inquired the price of the farm.
Mr.. Saxton informed them the place
was not for sale. They insisted on
his placing a price on the same. He
finally said he would take "a, 900 for it.
After little quiet conversation they
remarked, 1--WE will take there Is a
check for 81 900 to bind the bargain,
and tomorrow we will get together
and fix up the papers," SAxton was
taken entirely by surprise. Said he:
"aentlemen, cannot take your check.
l really don't want to sell / will
haYe to back out" They returned in
the morning but he would not sell.
He paid 81 200 for the place three
years ago, and has made from 81 200

produced This instance goes tC.show

NATURAL GAS FOR CHICAGO.
Shortage Are About to BE
..-r.. Taken.

CHICAGO June I.-Extensive precau-
tions against shortage in Chicago's sup
ply of natural gas are about to be taken.
Contracts have just been closed by the
Chicago & Indiana Natural Gas Company,
through whose mains gas is piped from the
Indiana fields. for the erection of an i'm
mense new pumping station at Howell cor
ner, Grant county, Ind, and the c0nstruc-
tion of a new ten-inch main into Chicago.
The total cost of this improvement will
reach s., 1,25O 900.
1t is said the territory surrounding Green
town, where the present pumping station
for Chicago is located, has become alarm
ingly weak from heavy drains and extern
heart of the gas belt became a necessity to
insure adequate service.
The extension will bring the lines in con-
tact with those of the Ohio Natural Gas
Company. Coming at time when au-
thorities have said that Chicago's days for
pansion of service of the magnitude in
dicated is reported to mean that the COM
panies now pumping gas are preparing to
utilize their extensive plants for oil pipe
lines when the earth has been drained of
gas.
The improvement plans of the Chicago
and Indiana company are said to have
an amalgamation of interests with the
Manhattan OIL Company, while new opera
| tons of the Ohio Natural Gas Company
are credited with having their foundation
| in a coalition with either the Manhattan
I or Cudahy Oil Company. Not less than
stations are in the Indiana gas fields. BY
slight alterations 1t is represented that the
| plants devoted to gas may be transformed
| into fully equipped oil producers.
