GAS KILLS FLUSHING TREES.
Leaks Out ef tho Mains and Affects
! tho Tree Roots.

Leaks Out ct tho Mains and Affects
tho Tree Reots.
The people of Flushing, which has
become famous for the beautiful shade
trees which line its streets, have no.
ticed recently that many big, sturdy
trees have withered and become life-
less without apparent cause or injury.
These trees were not confined to any
one variety nor was any single To-
cality alone affected. horticultural
experts examined the dead trees to see
if they had become affected by insects
or rust, but nothing Of the kind was
found. Then Samuel 3. Parsons, vet
eran nurseryman, was asked to make
an investigation. He reported: "The
condition of the trees indicates that
they have been killed by illuminating
gas which has escaped through the
mains In the streets and has found it's
way to the roots. In several cases
where the dirt has been dug up around
the roots OF the dead trees there has
been strong odor Of gas. If similar
test was made with all the dead trees
the same odor would be discovered.
do not know Of anything else that
would kill the trees" Most of the trees
we're planted more than hfty years
ago. At the present rate, however,
Mr.. Parsons says he fears that all OF
them will be killed within five or six
years. lThe same cause he says has
killed many of the trees planted in
Manhattan. Another nurseryman said
that there is no doubt about the gas
killing the trees in Flushing. Last
spring" said he, I'VE planted six trees
in front of a residence here. All the
trees budded, but just as they were
about to put forth leaves one of them
died. We replaced it, but when we
dug the dead tree up there was a
strong smell of gas. The second tree
planted also died. Then we made a
complaint to the gas company and
found that not fifty feet away there
was leak In the gas MAN,
The managers Of the Flushing gas
plant declare that they are not to
blame for the destruction of the trees,
They say that there are dead trees
on streets where there are no gas
Mains. The Flushing Association has
promised to employ one of the best
experts in the country. to examine the
trees.-New York Sun.

The Problem Of Life.
BY ETHEL M. COLSON.

WI. OOAOON.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Co..
IL there was one particular charac-
teristic or quality for which the Rev.
Charles Billings was especially distin-
guished it was that Of truthfulness.
He wcs truthful, moreover, for rea-
calling. AS "a slim and pallid youth
at boarding school he had been famous
and popular-because Of his exceed
Ing candour. Later, as the devoted
and conscientious rector of the An
gelican Catholic Church OF the Atone
ment, he was popular and beloved In
spite Of it. And If ever the meek and
lowly-minded clergyman knew a sus-
picion Of spiritual pride it was because
OF the absolutely spotless and un-
stained condition OF his life-record in
the matter Of truth-tellinE.
To have expected the Rev. Charles
Billings, therefore, to have deliberate
ly-albeit unwillingly-yielded to the
temptation to give utterance to an un-
equivocal lie would have been mani
testify outrageous. And yet
The door of the church study opened.
: one evening, to admit woman-a
woman tall, slender, of good figure,
and expressive face, mirroring just
th6t1 numerous unpleasant emotions
The Rev. Charles Billings knew her
for one OF his Pensioners, the wife OF
solid John Brewster, merchant of the
Old-time Chicago, and man who was
popularly suspected Of being a better
business man than husband. Certain
1t is, the fine eyes of his wife had long
since acquired a look of weary and
patient resignation.
Straight up to the table at which
the priest sat hurried the woman. in
her eagerness and agitation she never
saw the surprised but soothing gesture
which beckoned her to q chair. But
as she sank into it mechanically it be-
came evident that she had been cry
ing.
"Oh Father Billings!" She exclaimed,
wildly-the gentle little priest being
so designated by his High Church con-
.gresat1on-"Oh Father Billings do help
me: II you do not" but 1t was some
minutes before she could go on.
Il met an-an old friend this AFTER
'noon," she explained, subsequently,

Ignorant Of thy shortcomings, and be-
ing unprovided with a partner,
May invite thee. to round and after
ward join thee in a whisky and

Then indeed shall thy highest aspira-

And thy position in aristocratic circles

For the future, when entertaining thy
friends, at thy villa, in the

Over the midday chop in the city, or
seated at thy stool in the Office,
Thou shalt, with due modesty, and
deprecating all suspicion of

Yet t1uently expatiate on thy intimacy

And commiserate, with kindly conde-

not being golfers,
Have. missed the unutterable felicity
which, by following sage coun-
sells, thou hast enjoyed.
