and, though legally native born, grew up
under much the same conditions a. their

their parents and being more familiar In
childhood with foreign than With American
customs Of life.
There were In New York at the time Of
the last Federal census 200 900 residents
who. though native bonn, were not natives
Of the city OF New York. OF these, $4,000

New York city, 1900 were born In New
Jersey. $1,000 In Pennsylvania. 1900 In
Massachusetts, and y, $50 in Virginia.
These figures account for s,ot5 900 out
Of the total New York population as returned
by the last Federal osnsus Of B,ts7, 900, leav-
ing about So7, 900 persons, not all Of whom

SPRING AWAKENING OF THE WOODLAND
Unfolding of Flower and Buddhist OF the New Life
Pretty Show Of the Suburbs-struggle for Life.

Every hour Of sunshine In the last two
weeks Of April counted for almost double
fts accustomed value. A mild March woke
vegetation from its sleep, but q cold April
held growth in check until nature was
fairly bursting with impotence.
When the third week Of the month was
passed vegetation hung Quivering and
ready at a touch OF genuine hot sunshine
70 transform the aspect Of the outer world.
You could trace the oourse Of the brooks
through suburban woodlands by the sinu-
Gus lines Of vivid green where the skunk
cabbage and its early fellows Of various
name were unfolding their tightly rolled
leaves.
Even then the hypnotic power Of the ser
ried and silent tree trunks, 30 strange a
charm Of the winter woodlands, was a lit
tle brokenl by the faint, mistlike effect Of
tiny new leaf buds, and the airy gold OF the
spicebush blossoms. That faint mist Of
the new life was curiously elusive; It ied tie
approach, as the delicious spiral Of the
veerys song eludes pursuit through the
depths Of the June woodlands.
Prom a field on the woodland edge you
saw the tender yellowish green Of a million
minute points Of vivid life, but when you
olsmbered up the stone wall the ethereal
mist had withdrawn itself TO the depths
where the tree trunks were a. a uniform
dun wall OF a steady downpour Of sheeted
rain. In the foreground, cleared OF its veil,
the beeohes shone pale lavender and notified
silver, and the giant oheetnuts confessed
themselves by the curious coarse network
Of their rdEy bark.
Aeanwh lille overhead and underfoot life
was springing with hourly change. The
low growing plants that hide all winter
long beneath the covering Of fallen leaves
have one spring climate, ssmi-tropical II
you viii SO, too, have the treetops that
keep access 10 al the sun and wind.

treetops we're thick with blossoms and
swelling leaf buds, but Just below only the
sycamore's trunk betrayed consciousness
Of coming change That ragged and tattered
mendicant Of the forest, all winter long
white as a leper, shone with faint green.
Below at the foot OF the trees the annual
struggle for life among the wood plants
was deepening into tragedy. There were
beds Of notified dogtooth violets 80 dense
that unaught else could reach the sun and
air, so dense, indeed, that nine out Of ten
bulbs were barren Of blossoms.
The spring beauty carpeted patches
Of the surface almost as thickly, and sprang
everywhere in company with other plants.
That perfect thing, the tender heart shaped
leaf Of the wild ginger, was exquisite in its
freshness with its faint frostlike fuzz
completely covering the upper surface.
Millions Of seedlings sprang from the
prolific leaf mold shortly 70 wither and die
In the vain struggle for a proper share OF
nourishment. The woodland is natures
tenement house, and the infant mortality
there Ia appalling
You may count seeding oaks by the hum
dred in May and sapling oaks hardly by the
dozen in November, and the infant pro geny
Of that reckless prodigal the swamp maple
are reduced from thousands TO scores In
a single summer. The attempt OF New
Workers 20 live by many Thousands upon the
pin point represented BY a narrow area
In the heart Of Manhattan Ia successful and
reasonable beside the intensity q vegetable
life In every single square foot Of The
Bronx woodlands.
AL that April accomplishes in vegetable
growth awaits the magic touch OF May.
Those sultry days that come before the mid
die Of the latter month convert the fields
and woodlands into a veritable dollhouse.
Overhead Is the dim glazed roof Of the
thinly clouded heaven, and all between Ia
as a moist bit Of tho tropics. The sun
burns through, heating the earth, and the
stored calorio Ia radiated back into the
staRnant damp air until the whole AREA thus
Tended from chilling winds II a brooding
calm In which life Is urged 20 marvellous
rowe 8 Of ped Ction and growth.
II that sultry tropical calm holds for a
