TREES IN MIDDLE WEST.
Development of Forest Planting and
Its Possible Profits.
BY WILLIAM L. HALL.

Development of Forest Planting and
It's Possible Profits.
BY WILLIAM L. HALL.
Two facts are clear concerning west
ern tree plantations-first, there is a
general aimlessness, a lack of system,
in both planting and management; sec
Ond, there is but small percentage of
thrifty plantations. In nine cases out
OF ten planters have taken little
thought to make their trees serve any
definite purpose of utility. In localities
where post timbers are scarce and dear
yards and fence rows have been filleu
with trees of no practical value. Where
winds are terrific and almost constant
plantations have been established to-
ward the quarter from which no winds
blow. Trees that thrive best close to-
gether are planted far apart; those that
thrive in porous soils are unhappily
placed on clay.
Successful Plantations.
A limited number Of plantations have
been established and developed for
profit. Most of these are catalpa plan
tatiOnS in Kansas and Nebraska. Lo-
Gust (black locust)j black walnut and
ash have been much planted in these
adjoining states. Some red juniper
(red CEDAR has been planted in Ne
braska and Iowa.
The majority of these plantations fall
short Of their maximum returns from
lack of congenial soil or proper man
agement, but some Of them are striking
exceptions to the general rule, giving
promise of rich returns. A ten-year-old
block in the catalpa plantation of L.
w. Yaggy, near Hutchinson, Kan,
showed a net value of $197.55 per acre
A twenty plantation of
red juniper of F. G. F. Schultz, near

JAPANESE NAPLES.

Interesting Facts About the Common
Shade Tree of Our Cities.
The Japanese naples were, as their
name implies. imported from Japan,
and are noticeable on lawns and in the
city parks for their reddish-purple COL
oring and the deep-cut leaves. These
indentations extend almost to the stem
Of the leaf, cutting it into five or seven
distinct fingers, which In some cases
are SO slender as to give It the ap-
leaf. Prospect Park, brooklyn, has a
particularly large and fine collection
Of these tiny trees or shrubs. The red
or swamp maple. the wild species Of
our woods, has a small leaf, very easy
to distinguish. 1t is divided into three
main points, each Of which is cut up
by small teeth along it's entire edge.
They are famous for their brilliant red
colors in the fall.
The highest pinnacle Of tree develop
ment, however, seems to have been
reached when the silver maple was
formed in natures crucible. Think Of
all the good points in a physically
perfect, high-strung, blooded horse,
apply these points to tree life, and we
have the silver maple. From the
ground up to the topmost leafiet we
find expressed in every atom Of the
tree strength, vitality, purity, beauty
and usefulness. The trunk Of this tree
Is as sleek and clean-cut as any one
could imagine a tree to be. The leaf
Is beautiful in its shape and color, the
under side being a silvery white
from which it takes it's name-and as
one stands under 1t and looks up ne
sees silver dome; or If a breeze is
blowing the green-and-silver leaves
simmer and vibrate like an aspen,
giving the appearance Of pale-green
fire, which is especially noticeable on
the approach Of storm. The leaf is
five-pointed, and the entire edge is
again indented with well-def1ned teeth.
This is the common shade tree Of our
cities.-St. Nicholas.

handles. By winding the tape as de-
scribed the stopper may readily be
removed from the bottle by exerting a
slight pull on either end Of the tape,
thereby imparting a twisting or ro-
tary motion to the stopper so that it
can be quickly extracted without spill
ing or splashing the contents of the
bottle. These free ends Of the tape
may be attached to an anchor con-
sisting Of a wire collar around the
bottle neck, thus producing a satisfac-

formed, which may be readily opened
without the use Of any tool.

UncannY Eyes.

They caught one fish far down in the
Caribbean that had no eyes at all, nor
any places for eyes, but long antennae
ran out from its nose by which 1t felt
Its way and found its food. In the
next haul was fish with two convex
lenses in place Of eyes. These lenses
were highly polished, or Furnished;
they were of golden hue, and they
cleaned in the sunlight like Jewels.
Another fish, big fellow, had eyes
which grew on stems, or stalks, that
stuck out six inches from Its head.
Then came one with an eye that grew
on q long stem like lily-stem, quite
eighteen inches from the nose, and the
professor said that it was an eye made
for poking itself into other fishes bust
ness. The stem was flexible and
waved backward and forward, or bent
with its own weight; and sometimes
the fish Travelled with the eye doubled
under it about tt e middle Of its body,
or trailing in the sand or mud.
Some Of the eyes when put into sea-
water in the dark shone like lanterns;
others Of the fishes had brilliant SPOTS
along their sides that emitted a ghost
" radiance, and they seemed TO have
lighted portfolios, or windows, like
slender steamer rushing through the
seas after night.-Nicholas.

MOTHERHOOD.

I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging at their
gown;
Or that the footsteps, when the days are
wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
AZ l could find little muddy boot,
cap or jacket on my chamber floor,
IF could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my home once
more;
III could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the
sky,
There is no woman In Gods world could
say
She was more blissfully content than L.
But ali! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from it's nest has
flown!
The little boy used to love Is dead.
But now it seems surprising strange to
That while bore the badge Of mother
hood
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
My little child, who brought me only
good.

HIGH TIDES AT PANAMA.
Rise and Fall Twenty Feet, but Only
Cne Foot at Colon.

Cine Foot at Colon.
with the preliminary work Of dig
ging the great canal all eyes have been
conferred upon the 1sthmus of Pana-
ma" said o naval officer on duty in
Baltimore the other day, relates st.
Louis Star, "and incidentally many
curious facts not generally known are
being dug up about that section and
not the least interesting Is the differ
ence in the rise and fall Of the tides
on either side of the isthmus. Recent
reports made by United States coast
and goedetic survey show that while
the mean average Of tide at Colon is
06 foot, at Panama it is 1876 feet, and
recently published report by Gen.
Peter G. Haines says that the rise and
fall Of tide at Panama is 20 feet and
that of Colon is only 1 foot So, while
the mean level Of the two oceans Is
precisely the same, the level Of the
Pacific at Panama is 10 feet higher
at high tide and 10 feet lower at low
tide than the Atlantic at Colon twice
day.
"The low tides at Colon are account
ed for by the fact that the Caribbean
lies in section about midway be-
tween points where the tides vary con-
siderably. AS simple, practical illus
tration, let a basin which is partly
filled with water be oscillated verd-
h0 How, will ~ eSI
Of the basin as it falls on the other, so
In the middle portion Of the body Of
water at the northeast coast of Brazil
1t is high water on the Atlantic coast
Of the United States, and vice versa.
Therefore, the Caribbean Sea, being
about an equal distance between the
two points, it will be easily seen why
the Atlantic ocean tide does not en-
ter the Caribbean Sea with sufficient
range to cause high tide at Colon.
ION the other hand, Panama lies at
one Of the Pacific Ocean angles. The
Gulf of Alaska marks a second and
the eastern coast of the Philippine
Islands makes up the third angle Of
the large triangular area which cOnStl-
tutes the whole Of the North Pacific
Ocean. Now it is known that in tri-
angular areas the angles usually have
large ranges of tide. If, again, for a
simple illustration, one will oscillate
vertically basin Of triangular form
partly filled with water this will be
sufficient demonstration to prove why
the tides at Panama are so phenomen-
ally high as compared with those at
Colon. The conformation Of the land,
the curve Of the shore line to the south
ward from Panama, constitutes an
| other element in the case, for it tends
the higher rise Of tide"

be occupying seat in front Of him.
Emphasizing one Of his points with
magnificent gesture, the jealous peer
brought his clenched fist down hard
on the royal hat, bonneting his future
ruler effectively. It was characteristic
Of the Earl that he did not allow the
untoward incident to disturb the
thread Of his discourse, postponing his
apologies to a more convenient sea-
son. But his royal highness displayed
great agility in getting out Of range.
Though Sc years old last August,
Lord Wemyss shows no signs of men,
tai decreptitude. Tall, lean, willowy,
burning with the fire Of an unquepch-
able enthusiasm, gaunt and rugged In
his oratory, his silvery locks dying
wild about his ears, the keen features
sharpened by time and periodical con-
flict, he would pass In the kilt for some
war-seamed Scottish chieftain, hero Of
score of tales Of border fray. He Is
a prophet Of woe-a modern jeremiah
whose voice is filled with lamenta-
tons. He believes conscientiously that
England is following in the footsteps
Of Rome and Fastening to the "demni-
ton bow-wows." Ever since he en-
tered public life-and that was long
before most Of those now conspicuous
in it were born-he has preached a
doctrine of national pessimism.
He has the courage Of his convic-
tons at all times and Is never bothered
by considerations Of consistency. He
has proclaimed both communism and
individualism. He once opposed the
habitual inebriates bill in the House
Of Lords on the ground that every En-
glishman ought to be allowed to get
drunk when it pleased him to do SO.
In his own person he furnishes the
best refutation Of his jeremiads on no.
tional decadence. Though he long ago
passed the age when most men are
supposed to have something more than
one foot in the grave he is still sound
in wind and limb; is a keen sports
man, hunts, fishes, drives his own mo-
tor car, makes speeches full Of fire
and vigor whenever the spirit moves
him, writes books and beguiles what
leisure he has left at his favorite hob
by-Sculpture. When he was lusty
widower Of 80 he married for the sec
ond time. He succeeded to his title and
some 10000 acres in Scotland in 1888.
He had then been in the House Of
Commons for two and forty years. He
helped Sir Robert Peel reform the corn
laws, and for more than threescore
years has been in the thick Of every
parliamentary fight.

WATER BY COMPRESSED AIR.
Wells Too Deep to Permit Use of Or
binary Pumping Engines.

Wells Too Deep to Permit Use of Or
binary Pumping Engines.
The water supply Of Los Angeles,
CAL, has in the past been received by
gravity, only few higher parts Of
the city being supplied by pumping
into the mains. The growth of the
city, however, has made an additional
supply necessary, and pumping plant
is to be installed in the southwestern
part Of the city, where wells have
been bored to water bearing strata ly-
ing 60 to 200 feet below the surface.
AS these wells are too deep to per-
nit Of their operation by pumping en-
gines on the surface, and as it would
be commercially impracticable to pump
them by deep-well pumps, with long
plunger rods, and, again, too costly
to excavate pumping stations under
ground near the water level, 1t has
been decided to operate them with
compressed air, which offers the fur
Their advantage Of aerating and cool
ing the water and permitting one cen
trail plant to operate all the wells scat
tered over a half-mile stretch.
The system adopted Is the air lift, in
which compressed air is forced through
one pipe down to the bottom Of the
well, where it discharges under the
mouth Of another pipe reaching to the
top Of the we'll and emptying into the
reservoir. The bubbles of air issuing
from the first pipe enter the mouth Of
the second, but do not fill it complete
~, as a large amount Of water is car
ried in between the bubbles.
For this reason, the weight Of water
within the second pipe Is less than in
an equal cross section Of the well ex-
terror to the pipe. The pressure Of the
water in the well, therefore, is greater
and forces the mixture Of air and
water in the pipe to rise constantly,
and as the bubbles Of air are contin-
ually supplied at the bottom, this pro-
cess goes on without intermission, the
mixture Of air and water discharging
at the top Of the we'll in a practically
constant stream. The air, as it rises
toward the top, expands, thereby re-
turning the work which was expended
in its compression, and, as in expan-
sion the temperature of air is greatly
reduced, 1t serves at the same time to
cool the water.-New York Tribune.
