Trees Record Weather.

Rings in trees indicate something
more than mere growth, for 1t has been
discovered that they are. excellent rec

clared that trees feel and think. and
poets have said that they speak; but

were felled, and the order and relative
width of the rings OF growth on their
trunks were found TO agree exactly.
This fact showed that all the trees had
experienced the same stimulation in
certain years.
Assuming that the most rapid growth
had occurred in the wet years and the
least rapid in dry years, it was con-
cluded that out of the 134 years covered
by the life of the trees. six had been
extremely wet. sixty very wet. eighteen
wet, seventeen average as to the sup
ply of moisture nineteen dry. eight
very dry. and six extremely dry. But
when the records of rainfall running
back as far as 1S40 were consulted. it
was found that they did not entirely
agree with the record OF the trees

terces (about "a .000) for robe which
had belonged to Cato. In our time a vest
which once belonged to Jean jacques
Roussea was sold for 5000, and his watch
cheap copper affair, fetched 500.
Moreover, one OF his admirers pail $500
for his barometer. the intrinsic value

clan paid 800 for Voltaire's famous cane.

Boieldieu used to write his musical COM

sold TO a collector for SIS.
The wig worn by Kant, the illustrious
philosopher, though moth-eaten, fetched
$50. and Sterne's wig. which was in good
condition, was sold in London for 81 900.
For Describes skull s2O0 was paid, in
Stockholm, and. surprising though il
may seem, the large sum of 81, 800 was
