that almost every piece of furniture
had bell attached to it. There were
at least dozen small bells fastened to
the springs under the bed and James

the clerk what be had all those bells in
his room for. We put them there to

Interesting Meeting of the Nature Club.

The regular meeting of the Belfast Ma
ture Club was held in the High School room
Monday evening, and although the weather
was stormy there was a good attendance
Rev. j. NJ. Leighton gave an interesting talk
on ''The Trees of Our City Streets" Every
tree, he said, is different from every other
tree, and there are probably not two trees
in the world exactly alike. This features is
a most interesting study. Even trees of the
same species, which appear alike, will be
found on examination to possess many diff
ferences. The elm is not forest tree, but
grows in more open ground, along the banks
OF streams, etc. No species vary so much
IN form as do the common white elms We
find them ranging from the short, stunted
thick stem, with gnarled top, to the tall
straight tree, with its limbs nearly parallel
with the trunk, The elm is a hardy tree,
and never dies from the top downward as
do some kinds. A new enemy of the elm is
coming this way, a boring beetle, which was
first found in the south, and last season had
worked as far north as New Hampshire.
The elm is more artistic than any other
tree, and its form and the intermingling of
its branches are said to have given the an
cients valuable ideas in architecture and
lace patterns. The Red, or Slippery Elm, is
rare in this section, but there is a handsome
one growing on the grounds of r. T. Rankin
on High street. The Sugar Maple is the
next most numerous of our shade trees. Its
form is more uniform than that of the elm.
and 1t is thing of beauty even in the win
ter when denuded of its leaves. Naples
never crowd, but, while growing together,
barely touch their limbs. The maple of our
city streets has two enemies, the borer bet
tie and the man with the ladder and saw.
Many municipalities have laws forbiddins
the mutllation of shade trees, and the care
of the trees is in charge of a competent
board. The Red Maple and the Norway
Maple were spoken of as valuable trees
also the Oak, White Ash and Locust Much
| can be said in favor of the oak 4; ii is hardy
and generally of symmetrical form Oaks
growing i'll Europe are known to be from
1.0Oo to 1000 years old The value OF trees
in city is not properly appreciated. and
legislatures and city governments are Just
awakening to the fact. Trees take up large
quantities of carbonic acid gas and noxious
vapor and thus are of great benefit to the
public health. The trees on our streets be
long to the people, and no individual should
be allowed to mutilate one The trees in
every village and city should be under the
charge of a competent forester and the
work of their preservation should be sys-
tematically and honestly done
An informal general talk followed, and
it was decided that the Club take frequent
trips for field work during the season, and
the executive commi ttee were instructed II
arrange for one in the near future.
