KILLING A TREE.

The surest way to kill any kind of
Tree is to pile 4 heap Of stones around
1t. The reason appears to be that the
stones obstruct the light and act as a
mulch to the soil, causing the tree
roots to feed near the surface. But
the stones are no obstruction to frost,
80 that the soil under them Is usually
deep frozen, and the roots, being en-
cased In frozen soil, cannot supply sap
to the tree, as all roots should Go to
some extent, even in winter.

efforts of those working below the sur.

Walling up the entries and the slope
and putting up fire-proof barriers
which will prevent the flames from

dication that the rescuers realize the
fruitlessness of attempting to rescue
the entCmbed miners below the seventh
level.
Added to the horrors Of the fire,
which will doubtless destroy the I'M
d%erground workings. is the danger OF
another explosion which may occur at
any time.
The situation is decidedly grave
and the citizens are becoming alarmed
for the safety Of those who are work
ing below the surface, and also those
engaged in hauling away the debris
from the mouth of the slope. If the
entries in which the fire is burning
can be successfully walled and the fire
confined to a few entries, there will be
little to fear, but

troors and artillery on the frontier,
where the Turkish soldiers, under the
guise of searching for arms, are per
petrating all sorts of outrages on the

note says, could only have disastrous
results for Turkey and Bulgaria.
