A Clean Village

The following from the Poultney
journal shows the sentiment in a Ver-
mont village, and what that sentiment
is accomplishing: Now for cleaner and
prettier streets and surroundings The
new sprinkler arrived on Monday, and
was given a test Tuesday. 1t works to
perfection, and every one is pleased A
little effort and time has been required
to secure this innovation, but who shall
say that such effort is not more than
compensated for by the relief afforded .
The Village Improvement society took
the initiative, but citizens in general
have taken hold aud assisted literally
in the enterprise which everyone can
enjoy. Now comes chance for the
young people to do something. Within
a short time rubbish cans will occupy
convenient places throughout the village,
and will be just the thing for banana
pees, orange rinds, tobacco papers, scraps
OF every kind, envelopes, newspaper
wrappers, etc. 1t is needless to dwell
on this; when they are in position every
one will realize their object, and it is
hoped no one will fail to use them.
Keep pushin' for prettier aud cleaner

enough to be easily distinguished one
from another The flowers of all species
are borne i'll catkins, like those of the
willow, poplar aud alder. Both the
flowers and the fruit are beautiful tea-

The canoe-birch is one of the largest
species, growing from thirty to sixty
feet high. 1t gets its name from the
fact that it's tough; very white bark is
often used to make light canoes. 1t is
also called the paper birch, because OF
the thin white layers of bark that are
continually being shed from the trunk
and main branches. The trunks grow
singly, and the leaves are larger and
broader than those of any other species.
The yellow or silver birch grows from
thirty to seventy feet high. This tree

graceful of the brches in outline. 1t
has very dark bark, almost black, that

FORESTRY NOTES.
Conducted BY the Ladies' Literary Club

Sonuueteu bS the Isuies IHefafy Siuo'
81 know hank where the wild thyme
grows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet
blows"
My story is of bank where grows,
not the wild thyme, perhaps, nor the OK
lips; but certainly the ''uodding violet"
in abundance, along with many others
of those darlings of Nature, the early
wild flowers. Not far from the village
limits, hidden away among the foothills
of Mt. Bluff, deep raviue runs upward
toward the mountain; at its bottom the
bed of tiny stream having its rise i'll
the springs farther up the height. Here,
on the high bank which slopes toward
the south, is a vertable wild flowers
paradise. The spot has long been Il ia
vorte resort of the writer, aud each sue
cessive season has revealed new beauties.
Some years ago it CHANGED that at the
end of long climb, "a few plants of the
cypripedium, or moccasin flower attract
loose mass of rocks which look as though
they may have fallen from the face of
the great lodges above them, with their
roots deeply inbedded in some old, de-
caying logs, these most graceful of Oar
orchids caught and held the attention
by their fragile beauty. BY dint of
hard Ginning up the rocky hillside, |
gathered half dozen of the dainty pink
blossoms, being careful not to disturb
the roots.
This year the spot was visited again
and in place of the scant dozen of plants
which comprised the colony when first
discovered, | found them III abundance
both the pink and white varieties, the
former being the more plentiful.
On the same bank have found the
blossoms of the shad-bush or June berry
the moose-wood or hobble-bush, til,
foam-hower, painted trillium, great rec
tfliium or wake-robin, the white, blue
aud yellow violets, jack-in-the-pulpit
; bel.-wort, gold thread, star-fower, creep
ing snowberry, wood sorrel, twinfowe
or Linnea, partridgeberry, pyrola, pipsis
; sewa or princes pine, meadow rue, ant
many others in their season. With such
treasures within easy walking distance
who would not "know the wild flowers
III that best of all places for study, thei
natural habitat?
But-one word of caution. Do no
gather erery one of the blossoms; eav
few to form seed. And in gathering
be very careful not to uproot or other
wise injure the plants. Else we shall
soon fluid that instead of banks strewl
with rare blossoms, there will be al
absence of these more delicate species
which, i'll many localities are, through
abuse, rapidly becoming extinct.

FUEL Fer SEA FIGHTERS.
Government Experts Will Test Eff
cheney OF New Smokeless Coal.

government experts VIII lest EN-
cheney Of New Smokeless Coal.
Tests of superior fuel which it Is
thought may enable any United States
war vessel to overtake or outIoot an
enemy, as may he desired will lie he-
gun on Il number of fighting vessels at
Hampton Roads as soon as the United
States geological survey plant at Nor
folk, Va, for testing government fuels
is completed, says the Washington
Post.
Government experts not only hope TO
demonstrate that this fuel has more
efficiency than any other coal. but also
expect that it will be practically smoke
less, which is perhaps as big Il factor
as its efficiency.
Recently Admiral Robley D. Evans
complained of the use of soft coal on
war vessels. declaring that the smoke
which II emits gives unmiStakahle in
dication of the approach of ship be-
fore the hull is in sight. He further
said that if the furnaces are forced to
get up top speed fame will belch from
the stacks ana even ut night betray the
movements of a single vessel or fleet.
This second cause he says. nearly
spoiled Admiral Dewey's plan for the
invasion Of Manila bay. The admlrafs
remedy is for the government TO obtain
| exclusive control of the anthracite de-
posts of the country, which is not con-
sidered practicable.
Recent tests carried on by the gov
eminent indicate that a fuel made from
slack coal pressed into briquettes not
only burns almost without smoke, but
| also evap0rates more steam and pro-
| duces more power under the boilers
than does the same amount Of coal.
These briquettes are made by taking
| the waste or slack coal from mines
and mixing it with sufficient tar so
that the coal will hold together, the
whole being pressed into blocks OF
cakes by machinery.
An elaborate series of tests will com.
mence within short time, and if they
prove as successful as those at the
! old fuel testing plant at St. Louis, Mo-
every cruiser and battleshp IN the
navy will be carrying briquettes, al
least as an emergency fuel.
