TREES CURED BY SURGERY.
Assesses Caused by Parasites Opened
ard Treated AntiseDtically.

| The successful trea tment of trees by
surgery is the su biecti of a report made
recently by botanist named Eber-
hardt to the Academy of Sciences in
Paris. NJ. Eberhardt has Dracticed il,
he says, with entire success in Indo-
China. He has performed operations
on tea plants, mulberry trees, orange
trees, and other tropical plants
Experiments in cold climates have
not met with success so far. but it is
believed the system can be used with
advantage in the southern regions of
Europe. The operations are not am
putations, neither are they mere sub
cutaneous injections. such as have
been made successfully in Europe for
the cure of some parasitic diseases of
plants. They are surgical in the strict
ly modern sense.
The method is adopted when trees
are attacked by insects, which pene-
trate the bark and deposit their eggs
in the wood. The long-horned beetle
is & serious plague in Idno-China.
The larvae hollow out galleries in
the tissue of the trunk and branches
these interrupt the circulation of the
sap, and the tree speedily withers and
dies.
Eberhardt's method consists of
opening up the gallery with a scalpel.
removing the larvae with a forceos or
curetting instrument. and then flush
ing out the cavity with an antiseptic
fluid consisting of forty parts glycerine,
10 of formaline. and $50 of water
Three or four washfhgs are given
at intervals extending over about f1f-
teen days, and at the end of that time
cushions of vegetable tissue begin to
appear along the edge of the scar,
which heals completely in from six to
eight months. 1t is essential during
the first two or three months to pro-
tect the wound from light, which
seems to stop the formation of new
tissue.
When the trunk is so seriously at
tackled as to render so radical an cper-
alton undesirable. M. Eberhardt
pricks the cavity in the tree with a
trocar to which he affixes a syringe,
and injects a solution of $50 parts of
formaline, sixty of glyceIine. and $50
of water. This he forces in unit! the
cavity is filed to overf1owing. Either
the larvae come to the surface when
they are extracted with the fcrceps
or else they are poisoned.
Two injections are usually made at
eight days intervals. The formaline
hardly seems to penetrate the woody
fiber beyond the surface broken down
by the parasites. The wound heals in |
time, and the tree seems to suffer no /
damage from the treatment. while its
inevitable destruction by the para |
site is prevented

President for Fairgrounds.

President Roosevelt lends the weight
of his authority to the increasing de-
mand for children's Fairgrounds. In
nearly every city there is quickening
sense of the duty which a municipal-
ity owes to its boys and girls in this
respect. 1t is as natural, proper and
necessary for children to play as for
squirrels or kittens. To make play inn
possible is to subject children to I'M
natural and unwh olesome conditions.
Country boys have all outdoors in
which to disDort themselves. Those
who live in small towns can easily
reach the open fields on the outskirts.
In large cities Fairgrounds must be
provided or the children are driven to
the dangerous and pernicious freedom
of the streets.-Philade lphia Press.

HkRTRIDGE REBUkED.
Justice Fitzgerald Tells Him TO
Wait.

New York. March 21-Just before the
adjournment of the Thaw case Mr..
Jerome continuing his speech said:
L then called in other alienists and
after submitting to them all the evil
denee 1 had in possession they Joined
with the others in declaring Thaw a
para noiac. They >all told me Thaw
ought to be in an asylum and not on
trial for his life. I framed my hypo-
thetical question but 1 was unable to
get into it much of the evidence pre-
scented privately to the alienists. An
s~ering the hypothetical question they
could go no further than they could go
and say Thaw knew the nature and
quality of his act.
1T was not until DR.. Hamilton was
called that 1 could call the courts at
tention TO the knowledge possessed by
that learned gentleman. 1 have known
DR.. Hamilton for some tirae. Last sum-
mer after he had examined Thaw we
often rode out to our country places to-
gether. DR.. Hamilton tried persistent
ly to persuade me that it was my duty
to apply for commission in lnuacy. He
told me that Thaw was a paranoiac. 1
replied that 1 did not believe it. Now
DR.. Hamilton is here and under oath
and can state the facts as he knows
them
Mr. Hartridge of Thaw's counsel here
arose and asked to be heard, but Jus
tice Fitzgerald raped sharply with his
gdVel and said:
when 1 want to hear from you in
this proceeding, Mr.. Hartridge, 1 will
let you know"
Mr.. Hartridge sat down and Justice
Fitzgerald said he would like the dis
trict attorney to clear up one impress
sion which was in his mind. He asked
why the district attorney objected
when Mr. Hartridge, in cross eXamina-
ton of DIR. Mabon, asked the alfenist
if he was of the opinion that Thaw
suffered from any form of insanity the
night he killed Stanford White.
Mr.. Jerome said he objected to the
question as it was not in proper form
and he could not understand what i'm
preston the court had gained from it.
Mr.. Hartridge again attempted to
be heard, but the judge said there was
no occasion for a statement from him.
Mr.. Jerome asked if Mr.. Delmas
would waive the right of professional
privilege in the case of DR.. Hamilton.
Mr.. Delmas replied:
eff my client is plunged in that
depth of insanity which prevents him
from comforting intelligently with his
counsel, how can 1 waive any rights
for him 2"

If one should chance to see young

AS matter of fact, according to the
stories of those who labor in the taxi
denny shop in the basement of the
Museum the condition of inebriety can

teously from great jars of the pre-

perhaps an hour and then take sew
