and regularly narrowed. Spraying
(for the slug which attacks the
leaves) has been attended to; and,
early in August, the ground has been
"seeded down" to oats or rye or Grim
son clover.
The result is exceedingly satisfac-
tory. The cherry trees have made a
splendid growth, and are shapely and
thrifty and promising. l bought these
so trees for about Sc four years ago;
to-day | would not take 500 for the
orchard. Indeed, if | am not greatly
mistaken, and if / live long enough,
I expect to see seasons when l can
market 500 worth of cherries from
these so trees. That is not an ex-
traordinary expectation, either. It's
fully within the bounds of reason,
judging from the yield and net profit
derived from occasional door yard
cherry trees in this neighborhood.
But, of course, to attain such sue
cess with cherries-or any other
fruit-the location must be right, the
soil and climate congenial, and the
tended to. And, in my opinion, prun-
ing is one of the essential details. 1t
is true, however, that cherry trees
require much less pruning than do
other fruit trees. A very little suf-
fees. The accompanying photo en-
craving shows the amount of "brush"
removed from an average Mont
morency tree last spring. AS you
will notice there were no big limbs"
removed; nothing but small and oc-
casional twigs and branches that
threatened to cross or grow inward.
By pruning little every year, no ne
cessity for removing large limbs has
existed; nor should it exist.
My aim has been merely to remove
surplus branches, which either hung
so low as to interfere with horse cul-
tivation, or which promised to make
the center of the tree too dense, or
which interfered with other branch

limbs (as is customary with peach or
pear trees) and l have always been
careful not to shock the trees by
over-pruning in any one year. No
case of bark-burst or injury has ever
resulted from this pruning. The
sweet varieties of cherries, | find, re-
Quire less pruning than the sour va
rieties; and the Montmorency needs
less trimming than does the Rich
mond. Each variety has its own pc
culiar habit of growth, and should be
treated accordingly.-Wal L. An

THE BABY CYCLONE.

On muggy night in May,
When the sky was green and gray

Then a baby cyclone plead:

Left its lair and gayly strayed,
In a playful promenade,
Frolicked through a. farmers farm,
Took haystack for a charm;
Turned the buildings inside out
With a happy childish shout;
Sucked the cistern clean and dry,
Filled the milk-cans standing by,
Picked the chickens, killed calf.
Scampered onward with a laugh;
: Whisked the farmer from his door,
Carried him a mile or more;
Wrapped his boots around his neck,
Dumped him down, battered wreck
Frolicked gayly home again.

PROPOSED PANAMA ROUTE FOR COMING HTHMAN CANAL

The passage by Congress of the So
called ''Spooner substitute" for the 18TH
milan Canal bill. by the terms of which
canal is to be constructed under certain
conditions by the Panama route rather
than the Nicaraguan, lends an additional
interest to Prof. William H. Burr's
elaborate study of the Panama route, the
first portion of which appears in the
Popular Science Monthly for July. Pro-
fessor Burr, it will be remembered, was
one of the engineer members of the 18th
milan Canal Commission, and is thorough
ly familiar with all the materials relat-
ing to the Panama route that have been
in the possession of the commission, as
well as with all the special surveys and
Investigations made under the commits
sion's authority during the past three
years. While it is generally understood
that the line adopted by the canal COM
mission for the purposes of its plans and
estimates was the route selected by the
Panama Canal Company, several features
of that route, as described by Professor
Burr, are not matters of general knowl-
edge The route as outlined by Professor
Burr is as follows: Starting from the
six-fathom contour in the harbor of Colon
the line follows the low marshy ground
adjoining the Bay of Limon to its in.
tersection with the Mindi River; thence
through the low ground continuing to
Gatun, about six miles from Colon, where
it first meets the Chagres River From
this point to obispo the canal line fol-
lows practically the general course of the
Chagres River. although at one point in
the marshes below Bohio it is nearly two
miles from the farthest bend in the river
at small place called Ahorca Lagarto
Bchio is about seventeen miles from the
Atlantic terminus, and Obispo about thir-
ty miles At the latter point the course
| of the Chagres Aiver, passing up stream.
| lies to ,.4e northeast while the general
| direction of the canal line is southeast
toward Panama, the latter leaving the for
mer at this location. The canal route
| follows up the general course Of a small
stream, called the Camacho. for a dis
lance of nearly five miles. where the con
tinental divide is found and in which
the great Culebra cut is located. about
thirty-siX miles from Colon and thirteen
miles from the Panama terminus After
passing through the Culebra cut. the
lcanal route follows the course of the Rio
Cffande River to its mouth at Panama
Bay. The mouth of the Rio Grande
where the canal line is located. is about
a mile and = half westerly of the city al
Panama, The LILO Grande is small

miles of its course, and for that dis

lance the canal excavation would be made
mostly in soft silt or mud"
HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS
The commission considered the feast
bility of a sea-level route with a tidal
lock at the Panama end, and it was found
that the approximate cost of completing
the work on that plan would be about
$3.50. 100000 while the time required would
probably be nearly or twice that needed
for the construction of n canal with
locks The commission therefore adopted
a project for a canal with locks The
commission projected a canal channel into
the harbor of Colon which. with the con-
struction of the harbor itself, was esti-
mated to cost over sS,0Go,O00 while the
annual cost of maintenance was placed
at $4,000. Regarding the harbor at the
Pacific end of the channel Professor Burr
says:

lists, is large area of water at the ex-

THE LEG AS ON ORGAN OF HEARING.

Writing upon the interesting subject
of .'Forelegs and their Uses" Mr.. E.
A. Butler observes in knowledge that
"the common lobster furnishes one of
the best possible illustrations of a
curious principle that finds expression
in the organization of animals whose
body. like its own, is composed of a
succession Of segments with jointed ap-
pendages, or in other words, animals
belonging to the great sub-kingdom
Arthropoda. The principle in question
is that the paired appendages of the
different segments, though all con-
structed upon the same plan, may be-
come so modified in form as to be
adapted to the discharge of the most
diverse functions. One of the strangest
and most unexpected of the uses to
which we could imagine a leg as being
put is that of an organ of hearing. Yet
such seems to be one at least of the
functions of the fore-legs in the cricket
and some other allied insects. On the
outer side of the tibia a small oval
space may be seen in which the strong
armature which covers the rest of the
body is reduced to a thin and mem
branous condition, making thus sort
of window or drumhead. Communicate
ing with this, inside the leg, are the
ends of nerve, and 1t can hardly be
doubted therefore that the whole APP
paratus constitutes an auditory organ,
so that if these legs were amputated
the insect would become deaf. When
one remembers that crickets are
amongst the noisiest of insects, their
incessant chirrup being a most shrill
and penetrating sound, it cannot be
considered strange that distinct organs
of hearing should also be present; the
sound-producer implies the sound-per-
ceiver; the two functions are compile
mentary; but still it IS remarkable that
the fore-leg should have been selected
as the most suitable site Tor this i'm
portant sense"

To be out of the fashion is to be out
of the world. The fashion in photog-
raphy is as volatile as any other. At
present in Europe, to be in the swim
with the upper ten you must have
you photograph taken to represent
copy of an old painting such as Rem
brandt, or any old master.
Some photographers go so far as to
scratch the negatives to look like
cracks in the paint; also sit his sub
iect behind sheet of glass to give the
appearance of varnish. With the hair
dressed as it was the style a century
ago, and Gainsborough hat some of
the pictures are very effective. On sit
ting for portrait, the likeness is the
first consideration, yet the photograph
should have the true character of the
sitter which is just as important as the
likeness, and unless you secure the in
dividuality of the person it is not por-
photographer must study the character
of his subject as expressed by light
and shadow; it is his duty to find out
how it is shown and catch it upon his
plate. The painter can obliterate in
order to make certain points more
effective but the photographer cannot
do that he has but light and shadow
to mark with, to do his work quickly,
and accomplish in a few minutes what
takes a painter perhaps months at
altering and redrawing, then the paint
ing becomes an idealized portrait, and
a fiction; with the painter it is not the
subject that makes the picture, it is
the treatment
Just examine a fine photograph by
good photographer, you will find
neither pure white or pure black
place a piece of white paper at the side
of the collar, you will find the collar
in the picture is far from being white;
the same with the darkest part of
good photo. Local color is one thing,
and appearance of the color another.
