There are many millions of cubic

that should be cut In order to properly
thin out the dense growth; for Instance,
where there are three or four trees
growing on a space required for one,

wood each year than the four together.
The question as to whether 300 or 5000
trees should remain on an acre Is
where the real value of scientific for

many more millions of cubic feet which
reach maturity and pass off to decay.

AMAZING CASE OF ArHAsIA/

shrewd Business Man Deprived OF
Speech for Seven Years.
Discussing aphasia at the Academy
of Medicine, New York, DR.. William II.
Thompson told storyof mental acumen
following loss of speech which greatly
interested his hearers and which was
acknowledged to be one of the most re-
markable cases OF Its kind on record.
"A man well known In business"
said DR.. Thompson, "came to my office
one day accompanied by his son and
lawyer and asked that l examine him
mentally to determine whether he was
competent to make will. l was In
formed that seven years before he lost
his speech and since then had been un-
able to utter a word. He was literally
word blind. He could not tell when
printing was upside down. He explain
ed that he had considerable property
he wished to dispose Of, and that as
he expected his will would be contested
he wanted statement from me.
II examined him thoroughly, found
he was mentally acute and In every
way responsible. In fact, my inquiry
developed the remarkable fact that
while he was word blind he had devel-
oped remarkable arlthmetieal knowl-
edge. He was an adept In every sense.
Figures fairly spoke to him. Since the
time he was stricken he had conducted
big business and had done 1t in such
an astute way that he had accumulated
a fortune He had complete mute
aphasia, but was indeed sharp bust
ness man. 1 was convinced that his
mental center for arithmetic was sep
arate and distinct.
ITO test his acuteness Of intellect
mlsread two or three words In his will
and he instantly caught me up and up
braided his lawyer. 1 made out a Ger
t!f1cate to the effect that in my opinion
he was perfectly competent to make 4
will. Two months later this remark
able man was found dead In bed, and
learned later that the certificate which
gave him was the means Of prevent
