The American civic association gives

one Of its branches In a PENNSYLVANIA

and for profit and in a difficult location
was anything but attractive.

Sir Henry Roscoe tells this of the
scientist Faraday and his assistant.
Sergeant Anderson: Henderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and of
course was utterly uneducated in scIen-
tilic matters. but he could obey orders
which is not always il characteristic of
an educated man. one day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring
pot containing some chemicals over
fire until he returned Faraday being
in the habit of going upstairs to tea in
his rooms and coming down directly
afterward to work in the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down
again and forgot that he had told An
derson to watch the pot. ON coming
down the next morning he found An
dcrSon still stirring the pot, having
been at it the whole night and thus car
rying out the order which was given
him."

YOUNG TREES IN TOWNS.


Course of Real Estate Operators
That Is Worthy of Emulation.
1t Is noted in brooklyn that a few
suburban real estate operators are
setting trees ON property which IS on
the market for building purposes or on
which the builders themselves intend
to erect dwellings, This is so obvious
ly Il wise policy that it Is wonder
only "a few" are following it. says the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Having purchased tract of land and
divided it into streets and building
lots. the wise owner will ut once plant
trees In suitable places and start them
growing even before n cellar is dug
The property IS thus made more at
tractlve and salablc. for nothing can
be much more drcary than a residence
district without trees.
AS result of rapid growth in popu-
latiOn and building. the tendency is to
deprive city streets Of shade which
they have long cnjn""d. The sacrifice
of noble oak or maple or elm IS al
ways cause of mourning but the
slaughter goes on in the name Of i'm
provement." The only compensation
is to plant and foster trees on new
streets and lots.
Those who perform this task dill
gently will reap measure OF reward
for themselves and earn the thanks OF
future generations.
