From the New York Mail and Express
In order to save the beautiful trees
which it is necessary 10 remove in con-
structing the buildings for The Paris Ex-
position an ingenious method has been
devised by the engineers in charge of the
enterprise. Trees, roots and the surround
ing earth are inclosed in heavy plank bins
built around them, and are then bodily
lifted into the air and kept suspended
there until the excavations and building
foundations are completed. when, if there
is room, the trees are let down into former
positions The plan has been found to
work admirably, and 1t is so simple and
practical that it might be adopted where
ever it is necessary to disturb trees in the
course of building operations.
