Interest in nature Is now widespread in the United States and books upon out door subjects find a ready sale. There are also many periodicals devoted to exploiting the bright aspects of country life and to teaching readers the health value of trees and flowers as well as their artistic and aesthetic value. But the greatest factor for the establishment of down town parks In American cities Is charity. Settlement workers alone learn to know the great need or the poor in cities for trees to vitalize the air and to mitigate suffering from heat during the summer. and to the efforts of organization striving to better condi- tions ir crowded quarters are due the large number of small parks now in ex- is.ence and the plans for extensions or the system in the various cities
 There are two schools of landscape gar deninu. The formal Italian gardens that came to England with William or orange ara often like extensions of house made into apartments and alleys. and the word villa in Italy often means not only the house but also the terraces and gardens. In larger gardens and in parks of con siderable extent. the natpral style, when seeks to conceal art, is employed. me possibilities of landscape gardening ana architecture are limitless and no art is more lasting or more pleasing to larger number or persons. JhSl ho"
 a pood demand for the services of men who are skilled in beautifying the land scape. Not only are the American citles extending and improving their park sys- tems, but private property is being pean- tified by the art of the landscape gar dener wherever the wealth Of owners per mits such expenditure
 Upon the Pacific slope, where the WIG beauty of primtiveness has not been destroyed the landscape gardener IS busy inproving upon nature: on the Atlantic coast he is restoring what has been de- stroyed; while between the two' park making is engaging the attention or countless men and women. In some or the cities civic improvement clubs have been instrumental In having street ends and vacant lots made attractive with turf and flowers, many railroad lines are im- proving their stations with miniature parks as we'll as sowingg rass on the right of way. and thus gradually the rough outlines of great new country are be- ing softened and beautifed.

OSTRICHES WILL
 BE FAIR FEATURE Fowls to Race Against the
 SWifteSt Horses
FUMES TO BE ON SALE
Secretary Barnes Is Still Urging Mer- chants to Get Their Displays In Ahead of the Opening
 of the Fair.

The signed contract for bringing a drove of ostriehes here to be exhibited at the fair has been received by secre- tary Barnes. In this drove will be q num- Der of racing birds, who will race against each other and also against horses. The races will be run in the best three out of five heats of half mile each. The os- triches are said to be anything but slow and the ponies will have to look to their laurels.
 The ostriehes will be hitched to very light sulky and will carry the same Weight as the ponies. In addition to the racing there will also be some exhibition bareback ostrich riding.
 There will be a large number of birds in the drove and their plumes will be placed on sale. There will doubtless he bar gain sale one day during the fair, and the fair authorities will take every precau- ton to keep any ladies from getting hurt in the rush for plumes that is bound to follow.
 The ostrichs digestive powers allow it to eat almost everything from warm milk to iron, and particular steps will be taken to see that none of the birds get n biting distance of Vulcan.
 Secretary Barnes says that too much importance cannot be placed upon the early arranging of exhibits; that 1t has been his experience that those exhibitors waiting until the last moment to prepare invariably have an unfinished look to their exhibits, which results in more detriment than good to them. lie IS ufS- ing those who have already been as signed space to begin the planning ot their exhibits now and have them set up complete on the opening day The open ing day is only little over a mouth away. While all of the space Tn the exhibit halls has not been taken, it will in all probability be assigned within very few days.

1R0WTH OF THE PARK IDEA
BY FREDERIC j. HAsKlN.

Every member of a civic improvement club, every advocate of the establishment or parks in village, town or city and every planter of trees, shrubs and flowers Is participant in a great movement in America that is resulting in bringing hack into dull towns of trade" something of the beauty of field and forest This movement Is aiding in bringing life-giving air into crowded centers of population where mortality rates are vislbly affected by the absence or presence of growing things. The spread of the public park idea IS one of the greatest factors in the modern problem of how to preserve the public health in cities, both by prevent Ing disease and by providing means for inexpensive and healthful recreation for the masses. The beauty of landscape gardening and the delights of parks and flower gardens have been appreciated py the aesthetic throughout all history, and the value of trees as agencies for health was known centuries ago. The hanging gardens of Babylon, although not per haps as beautiful as many of today, were the wonder of the age. The Romans planted olive trees to absorb the malarial effluvia from the campagna.
 Formerly parks and flower gardens were for the use of kings and the nobll- ity, and the common people were allowed 10 enter them only upon stated occasions or at the pleasure of owners. The forests of London and Paris were originally re- served for royalty. At present almost all cities, large or small, have their public parks and before long the United States will have by far the finest system of both municipal and national parks that the world has known. Fifty years ago there were few parks even In the older cities.
 Today towns in the west where blanket Indians are still seen on the streets have their parks reserved as lungs for cities of the future. Whereas the parks of the middle ages were distinctly aristocratlc the modern parks are democratic and are as much the property of the people as the streets.
