SAVING FINE TREES.
Hollww Trunks Filled with Cement,
and Decay Arrested, Much ~
in Dental Work.

Considerable interest attaches to
the cement filling in the trunks of
the great oaks near st. Charles ave-
nue., and many questions have been
asked about this method of arresting
the decay of trees, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat.
Horticulturists have found that they
have been able to prevent limbs from
decaying by wrapping them In cloth.
This helps to exclude the dampness.
Carrying their experiments one point
further, lit was found that cement
would preserve the trunks of trees
from rotting, just as a filling in a
tooth prevents further decay.
The question arose last year as to
what would be done to preserve the
great oaks at Audubon park, which
were losing their growth and verdure
by reason of big holes in their trunks
and it WAS accordingly decided to oil
the apertures with cement. Several
carloads Of sand. mortar and brick
were used in the operation, which has
been attended with great success. Old

oaks regained their strength, new
branches began to grow and alto
gether they put on signs of renewed
life.
The art of "arboreal dentistry" has
since then been perfected to such an
extent that even a new bark can be
given to a tree. 1t is proposed at
some future date to cover the filling
with layer of cement the color of
the oaks bark, which can be so
worked as to resemble natural COW
sring. 1t is said that this will pre-
serve the tree even better than will
ordinary cement, while at the same
time it will add to its beauty by hid
ing the mortar.

Secondhand saints, is the vivid
phrase New England thinker has ap-
piled to the Christians who get their
spiritual experiences at secondhand,
from sermon, and book, and from the
general spirit of Christianity about
them. To such souls first-hand relig

shock, some sorrow, some awakening
experience that brings struggle, and
