INTERESTING TALK
. ON THE TREE PROBLEM.
Mr.. Davcy Explains Great Danger
to Forestry and Landscape By
Ruthless Measures. y

Mr.. John Davey delivered last night 70
n very much interested audience in tie
Y NJ c. ~ Hail his lecture on "tlls
tree problem.
In the beginning of his remarks he
said that he had studied horticulture.
Horticulture and landscape gardening, but
that he had never understood the na-
ttre OF a tree until he found that II
Is Il living thing. With a series of IL,
pictures he showed the great damage that
Is being inflicted every year on the for
estry OF the country, both by indiscrtIni-
nate cutting and trimming and by tho
great waste of lumber. The pictures We're
rcplete with Photographic instances OF
trees that had been Killed by these
ruthless measures, Which, in time. The
speaker declared. would leave the couu-
try absolutely trceless. He declared that
the time had COME when some step should
be taken to avert this impending calam-
ity.
By due process of care and painstaking
the life OF the average tree could he
prolonged to its normal length. which in
some instances is OF n surprising dura-
ton. Apple trees live TO one hundred
wears. pear trees to two hundred years.
and the yew and the oak TO Thousand
and more.
He showed and explained many meas
ures that had been adopted for the care
and preservation of trees. and that had
been found to be Successful. Trees thai
had great holes and cavities IN their
trunks and limbs had been preserved 10
a much longer age than would have fall
len To them in due process of the dis
case by being filed in with certain kinl
of cement
Great injury. lie showed, is done 10
trees by cutting off the roots or COVERING
them with paving so that the necessai%
supply of water and air is not attainabr
by them. Great attention snoula be
paid to the supply OF water. as the tree
is i; very thirsty plant. and needs large
quantity of water for its maintenance
Trees that are surrounded by n heavy
covering OF sod are also deprived of n
sufficient modlcum of water, as the grass
absorbs so much of the water for it's
own use.
At the close of his remarks Mr.. Davey
distributed his books among the audience,
many OF whom bought them. These
books. which are for both adult and child,
will be placed on inspection with soma
suitable persons i'm Richmond.

by Justice Crutchfield yesterday morning
on the charge of being a suspicious char
acter.
The woman was arrested by Detective
Gibson and Mcmahon. who ascertained

herself In home and remain for sew
eral weeks. She would carry away diff

of the people from whom the negro wo-

reason she was held on the suspicious
