Lecture at Public Library.

William L. Hall of the bureau of forestry
discussed the development and the life of
a tree in the course Free Lectures to the
People" at the Public Library last evening
Among other interesting things told to the
audience was that a tree must have heat
light and moisture within a certain range
and the range differs with different trees
These differences account for the wonder
full adapta ton of trees to different parts OF
the world some to sWamps, some to deS-
erts, some to lands where it is always
warm, some to snowy mountain tops and
icy lands CT the far north. Then, too, IN
addition to neat, light and moisture a tree
must have soil in which to stand and from
which TO obtain part of its food and air
from which to complete its nutrition. A
tree is always modified in form and growth
by the degree in which it receives the
elements which it requires.

MAY BE REPEATED.
Choral Concert That Was Given IN
Pension Office.

Great pressure has been brought to pear
on Chairman Percy S. Foster of the inau-
gural music committee for repetition OF
the concert that was given by the inau-
gural chorus at the pension building Mon
day. It has been argued that many OF
those who attended the concert were SO
occupied in examining the decorations that
they failed to appreciate the excellent pro-
gram that was rendered, and also that the
building itself was not the best place Tor
such an event. In addition to this, 1t Is
argued, many persons were unable to gain
admission to the building and could not
hear the concert or see the decorations. AS
a result of all these considerations, MT.
Foster has about Concluded to give the peo-
pie another chance to hear the great chorus,
and arrangements are under way for a con-
cert at Convention Hall in the near 1uture.
The program that was given at the pension
building will be repeated in every detalI.
The soloist of the evening Will De Mrs.
Annie Grant Fugitt, who sang the 500 at
the concert Monday. Mrs. Fug1tt was
chosen for this work by Mr.. Foster pc
cause of her magnificent voice. She Is the
soprano soloist at st. Patrick's Churcn, anu
has voice of great range and purity. Inc
acoustic difficulties of the pension building
did not seem to interfere with her singing
on the occasion of the inaugural concert,
her effort filling the hall. She Will sing
Horatio Parker's Union and Liberty.
