TRANSPLANTING
OF TREES AT NIGHT
Means by which Successful Trans
plantation of Budding Trees has
Been. Accomplished - Albert
Maumeue in La Nature.

M. Rene Rounault has made some
very remarkable experiments in noc-
turnal transplanting. Up to the present
the transplanting of plants and trees has
been very costly and delicate operation,
the methods Of which M. Rounault has
now greatly modified.
1t has been observed in the past-an
observation which M. Raunault has not
ignored-that late paintings (when the
trees have commenced to bud) made in
In the evening, the plants being imme-
diately and copiously watered, are much
more successful than those made during
the day, all things being equal. Being
called upon to transplant large tract
toward the end of the month of May,
M. Rounault decided to work at ni-ht.
and in order to be sure that he made no
mistake he transplanted at ten O'Clock
in the evening in his own establishment
Holland linden which had been in the
nursery for FIVE years. He caref ully
watered the tree, and the branches which
bore buds were plentifully moistened
The linden did not appear to suffer
from this transplanting, and continued
to grow normally without giving any
sign of weakness. Encouraged by this
success, N RouLault performed the
work of transp.ahting which he contem-
plated wholly in the nighttime. The
results were excellent, only two trees,
which had not been counted on because
Of the bad state Of their roots, dying,
although the choice of species was ex-
tremely wide, containing many which
are rebellious to the process of trans
plantation.
With reference to the precautions to
be observed 1t should be stated that
transplantation be not done when the
buds are too tender, and should take
place between 10 O'Clock p. m. and
O'Clock q. m. It is much more desira.
bic to recover the roots with earth taken
from the surface Of the earth which has
been for several days exposed to the eff.
fects Of the air and light, the settling OF
this earth being obtained, not by means
Of pressure Of the feet, but by copious
watering, which forces the earth be.
tween the roots. Abundant sprinkline
of the boughs and leaves is performed
each day for fifteen days, preventing toe
great evaporation and at the same time
reviving the plant.

American Arisfocracy.

Is it true that there are, and always
will be, classes in this country, and that
we are coming more and more to be
divided into an aristocracy and common
peoplep We have, and have always had,
all sorts and conditions of men-rich
men and poor men, professional men,
farmers, artizans, laborers, when whose
hands were soft, men whose hands were
hard, wise men and foolish, polite men
and rude, dwellers in palaces and dwell
ers in cottages, and in tenament houses.
There is no lack of variety about us.
Great Inequalities of condition, great
dispaIities OF quality We recognize, but
from anything like sharp division be.
tween an aristocracy and common peo-
pie we seem further off good deal than
wewere when Washington was president
NO MATERIAL FOR AN ARIsToCRACY
For we have the common people in
great store and more coming: but where
is our aristocracy, and who arc of it. and
why? 1t takes two sorts to make an
a1istocracy: one sort to st ih high places
and another to look up. We have not
enough Of either sort to be worth CLASH
flying. We have great many rich people
most of whom are busy trying to get
richer. Among them are few families
in whose possession within the last forty
years wealth has accumulated in such
enormous quantity that their position,
fiscally considered, seems assured and
staple. There IS no prospect of shirt
sleeves ahead for these families in three
generations or ten. Some of them, who
have liking for fashionable life, have
intermarried with families that
undoubtedly belong to tho aristocra-
cies of European countries. But these
rich people do not constitute an Amer
lean aristocracy. They are a feature, a
new incident of our civilization, rather
than class. They are fairly definite
group, but not an especially important
one. Their countrymen regard them
with an interest that is lively but hum.
orous.
An aristocracy, TO be worth counting,
must have something substantial to rest
upon. 1t must have power, position
and money. We have plenty of rich
people, plenty of well-born people, plenty
OF men of power, but they do not con-
stitute al aristocracy. There was an
aristocracy in the South, but it lost its
money and most of its power a generation
ago. The lists of members of the
various societies of descendants of colon
ial and revolutionary fighting men that
have sprung up within the last twenty
five years might constitute basis for
an aristocracy founded on birth But
they don't. The development of patriot
ism seems to be more their aim than the
development Of exclusiveness. Aristoc-
racies can hardly thrive without primo
geniture, and that we have not got ard
do not want All things-and especially
the great increase in our W ealth-con-
sidered, we seem to stick remarkably
close to democratic ways and feelings

Battleship Rarnmed,

Cronstadt, (By ble).-The Rus
sian battleship Navarin while re.
turning to her anchorage was rammed
by the Russian ironclad Netron
Menia, which struck her amidships.
The damage to the Navarin is not
serious, though it may be necessary
to dry dock the vessel. 1t is believed
that the period required for the re-
pairing the battleship will not be a
long one.
The Navarin is battleship of TO-
2oo tons displacement and 5000 indl-
Gated horse power and carries crew
of 63o men. She was completed IN
1906 and was last commissioned on
Saturday. The warship had a belt
of compound armor sixteen inches
thick. twelve inches of the same armor
above her belt, twelve inches on her
bulkheads and twelve inches over her
heavy gun positions. Her armament
consistes OF four twelve-inch guns,
eight six-inch guns, fourteen quick
firers and four smaller guns.
The Netron Menia is coast de-
tense ironclad of 334o tons displace-
ment. She is an old vessel, having
been completed in 1866, but was sup
piled with new boilers in 1897. The
armament of the Netron Menia con,
sists of fourteen six-inch guns and
probably few smaller quick-hrine
guns. Her armored belt is 3.5 to a.;
inches in. thickness and she has the
same thickness of armor over her bat
terry
