"Well," said the little one, II have
been thinking a good deal about it.

Value Of Shade Trees.

Exchange.
DIR. Stephen Smith, formerly health
commissioner of New York, In a recent
talk on the subject of shade trees, said
that SO sensitive is the death rate to the
beat record that cloudy day which
causes fell in the temperature Will be
followed by a fall In the death rate.
Each shade tree of any considerable
size exposes an enormous surface In lts
leaves and each leaf tends to turn away
y part of the intense heat OF the sun
and so to reduce the temperature. 1t
il even said that shade trees are cap
able of reducing the excessive heat In
the most exposed avenues fully fifty
degrees, and OF maintaining fairly
comfortable temperature in the hottest
weather. All vegetation tends to pro-
tect the earth from the direct rays OF
the sun. absorbs poisonous gases which
have been exhaled by man and beast,
and gives out pure oxygen instead.
In the cities it Is of supreme impor-
lance that there should be an album
dance of shade tees, but very little at
tention is paid to them by the Rich
mond city government. In the lower
sections of the city the great majority
OF trees have been disfgured and injur-
ed and bear on their trunks and limbs
the evidences of neglect. Time and
again have we called attention to this
abuse and urged the city authorities to
take action, but the trees are still neg
lected. Winter is now over, and soon
the hot season will be upon us. By all
means let the trees be protected, and
let new trees be put out where no trees
are now growing. The trees are more
than ornamental. As we have shown
they serve benefcient and HYGIENE

NEW YoRK,s MINERALS.
Empire State Has Great Variety of ! Minerals of the Lower Order.

The mineral wealth of New York state will be discussed in several forthcoming publications of the United States geo. logical survey. Although the Empire state has no mines of precious metal or of copper it's deposits of iron ore, salt, gypsum, clay, natural and Portland ce- ment, lime. slate, building stone, min eral paint, graphite, pyrite. etc, give 1t high rank as mineral-producing state.
 Most of the iron-producing districts of New York have been examined this summer by a member of the United States geological survey. who is en- gagged In preparing 8 report on the iron ores of the eastern United States. The report will probably be issued in sec- tions, each section being devoted to a particular state or group of states. This form of publication is chosen for the reason that an attempt to include the entire report in one bulletin would delay its appearance and lessen the value of the investigation.
 A member of the survey has recently investigated the gypsum deposits of the state. Reports on the slate and salt in dustries are also in course of prepara- tion. The cement industry of the state will be discussed in considerable detail in bulletin on the Cement Resources of the United States" which is now in press.
