Lansing physicians are treating ap-
proximately - cases of typhoid fever,
according TO statements obtained from
them in canvas yesterday, though ir
is rumored that there are really 90
cases. The city physicians reports to
the state board OF health have never
shown the existence of more than 20
cases, but it is known that there have
been many cases that were not report
ed to them. and strong effort has
been made 10 hide the fact that the
disease was raging. Lansing doctors
have no cases in the country, but in
proportion to the population it is be-
lieved that the disease is just rs wide
spread there as in this city.

certain amount of water would thus find
access to the soil above the roots which
would be cut off by a tight pavement, but
that il would be possible to lift some of
the slabs readily from time to time, so
as to loosen and enrich the soil under
them.
This loosening and enrichment is not
needed Immediately about the trunk of the
tree but Is immensely valuable where the
feeding roots are situated, toward the pc
rfphery of the root system The place where
these removable gratings are really needed
is therefore, not surrounding each tree in
a very narrow circle. as in most of the
French tree gratings. but at a distance of
more than three or four feet from each tree.
BY filling the space for about three feet
on each side of the trees. where the roots
are more or less projecting, with smooth
pavement of gravel or crushed stone
screenings which could be adjusted to the
present irregular roots. and by laying the
iron slabs or gratings to cover the space
between the curb and the regular sidewalk
paving over the remainder of the interval
between the trees. neat and practicable
finish would be supplied for the sidewalk.
and the opportunity would be left for main
tanning the vitality of the trees indefinitely.
No Lodging Place for Rubbish.
1.-THE gratings. or slabs might well have
such small perforations as to offer no lodg-
ing place for papers or rubbish, and TO
cover the untidy aspect of the soil below.
which should be kept some five or six
inches below the curb level in order TO
give opportunity for watering at dry sea-
sons and so as 20 make it easy to loosen the
soil or dig in fertilizer whenever appro-
priations or the voluntary action of the
abut1ers should make this care possible.

indicated would be a very desirable one to
ADOPT for new streets or when old streets
are being improved. The precise form and
aesign OF the gratings, of course needs
study as to thickness. strength and artistic
design. We are inclined to think however
that done in wholesale way the addi-
tional cost above that of first-class gran
oiithic or stone tagging would be by no
means prohibitive. and the possibilities of
permanent advantage to the trees would
be very great. 1t might be very well to
introduce at either one or two points be-
tween each pair of trees a section of gran
olfthic pavement for the unloading of heavy
articles at the curb SO as to avoid some OF
the risk of breaking the gratings"
