Trees With Compound Leaves.

From st Nicholas
There is a large number Of common trees
whose leaves are called compound. A we'll
known example is the ordinary horse
chestnut which. by the way. is not a
native, but an importation from Europe.
In this case the indentations are even
deeper than those of the Japanese naples
the leaf being divided into five or seven
distinct leaflets. which meet in a common
center and form the complete leaf Our
native American buckeye is built after the
same fashion, but has only five leaflets
which are narrower, smaller and not SO
Iuxuriant or dense as those of the horse
chestnut This Is one of our valuable
western trees, and judging from the faet
that Ohio is called the Buckeye state, buck
eye timber must have been plentiful there
in days gone by. There are several varfe-
ties of buckeye. such as the yellow or
sweet, the red, the purple-sweet and the
Ohio or fetid buckeye. etc. Its wood Is
tough and strong and makes famous farm
ing implements.

were ablaze with gold lace and their caps
were weighted down with bullion.
On foot were other officers similarly APP

were perhaps 500 men dressed somewhat
like Japanese infantrymen and somewhat

How Trains Are Robbed.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

The men who make a practice of robbing
trains of merchandise have some clever
tricks in their trade One often practiced
is for two men to get on the top Of a train
or a car containing valuable goods. One
man lies down on his stomach and catches
lis toes on the running board. He takes
hold OF the other man and swings him down
over the side of the car in front OF the

FOR THIS YEARS ECLIPSE.
Elaborate Preparations Being Made

points. This event will be a total

August 80. William II. Croker. Of Cal

Of sending expeditions from the Lick

Spain and Egypt The naval observa-
tory of Washington will probably send
three expeditions, one OF which may
be located near Burgos, Spain. Photo
graphs OF the corona by means of
camera Of five inches aperture and 40
feet focus will be made by the Croker
parties.

sirable stations along the route OF an

which make their appearance few
moments before totality; the swift on
rush of shadow. and finally the glo-
rious but Undesirable corona.

American Review that for centuries,
the Russian people have been having
the best of ali constitutional training
in their village pariiaments. the identi-
cal training out of which has grown
the representative assemblies Of Eng

no reason why parliamentary sys-
