J. R Sutton, the HarbormastCr. recent
y requested that the Commissioners in
stitute an official Investigation into the
condition of the wharves Oh the water
front, from Fourteenth 10 \ Street south
west The investigation was promptly cr-
dered and Henry Storey, OF the Engineer
Department was detailed to the Tork. He
has reported on all the wharves within
the limits mentioned and has informed the
Comm iSsionePs that extensive repairs are
needed on considerable number of them
TO make them safe
Mr.. Storey states that his report is made
without official knowledge of the
names OF the owners Of the wharyes,
and for that reason he does not
offer any suggestions as to who shall
be called on to make the repairs. He
states that something must be done in
the near future TO protect the public who
pass over the whaTyes daily, especially in
the summer months. He reminds the Com
missicners that at times the wharyes are
taxed to the utmost with crowds, and he
thinks that necessary repairs ought 10 be
made before some fearful accident gives
unnistaka bic proof that the wharves are
unsafe. Mr. SUrey suggests that the At
toruey for the District be called upon to
aid the OfiaE Of the Inspector of Buildings

will be noted that the roots reach a
depth of 90 feet, and are then 12 feet
above the water table or soil water
in the soil. 1t will also be noted that
the spread of the tree i'm nowise cor
responds to the spread of the roots in
the soil. 1t has been popular fancy
that the spread of the branches of n
tree represents the spread of its roots.
This fallacy should have been explod-
ed without the use of diagrams. but
il has not been. We all know that
when trees are grown in tubs the
branches cover a square area very
much greater than the surface of the
tub. The most important lesson to
be learned from this illustration is
that soil of proper texture is able to
support trees with very little surface
moisture. This explains why some of
our apple and peach orchards have
been little affected by the droughts
that have destroyed other economic
plants.

then out along horizontal arms, at

Judiciously as a fertilizer we question

family feels this is more than il is able
to do, surely several families may be
found who will gladly assist in pur-

the thrifty housewife knows that SOAP

months will waste less, and this is an
economy that is not always fully ap.

But for those ash heaps. If coal is
burned, you will have material for ex-

from the house. The writer knows a
walk made of coal cinders that has
been used for several years without
any additional labor. The cinders and
coal ashes were piled up well, and the
walk was then much used.

Christmas Thoughts.

GOLDEN TEXT.-For unto you il
born this day In the city of David n
SaviOur.-Luke 2,1l.
Lesson Text.-Isaiah 9:1-7. At the
time of this prophecy, Jerusalem
was threatened with attack by the
combined forces of Pekah, king of
Israel, and Rein, king of Damascus.
Isaiah tries to strengthen the timid
Ahaz. king of Judah, by poihting him
to God as sufficient helper. 1t is in
this endeavor that we have this por-
trait of the Messianic King.
The king of Judah, Ahaz, was
weak, timid and wicked. When Rein,
king of Damascus; and Pekah, king
of Israel, combined against him, he
was at a complete loss how to meet
their attack. He tried every scheme
he could think of except hearty re-
pentance and return to the service Of
God. The people as a whole took the
same attitude, and the passage be-
fore us opens in s:i9 with a rebuke
of those who sought guidance and
deliverance from the spirits of the
dead instead of from God. who had
given the law and provided the tes-
timony of His prophets for that pur-
pose. Because of the peoples re-
fusal to turn to God they must pass
through time of darkness and
anguish in which they find no relief.
From weakened remnant, dimin-
ished by foreign foes, the nation
would again begin to increase rapid
ly under Gods blessing. and would
rejoice in such prosperity as is be-
tokened by bountiful harvests and
such security as is indicated by the
division of an enemys spoil. The joy
and security predicted are to come
through personal Deliverer of whom
Isaiah goes on to speak.

blessedness which pervades the king

should be ruler.
