tiOnal forests, recently arrived In Lon

Senator Smout considers the forest
OF Silwald, owned and managed by the
city Of Zurich tho most carefully de-
veloped IN the world. such forests
cost more per aero to take caro- OF. hut

are arrangements for the utilization Of

A NEW ORANGE TREE.
Botaniots Hope to "lnvent" Ono That
Will Grow In the North.

Botsnists Hope to Invent" Ono That
Will Grow In the North.
Botanlsts in the employ of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy as the ap-
pie tree, an orange tree that will not
perish In the chill OF northern winter,
which In December will wear Its
wreath of snow and In May Its gar
lands OF bloom and when summer
comes will yield fruit MS good as that
sweetened in the southern sun.
This may seem TO be an unnatural
proposition, but IL only seems so. No
violence upon the laws OF nature has
been or will be attempted. 1t is sim
ply an effort to make the citrus tree
which bears the sweet table orange
rs hardy and inscnsible to cold as the
citrus tree which bears tho bitter, un-
edible orange. Iiy crossing tho citrus
tree OF the north and that Of the south
It Is sought to beget Il plant In which
win b0 combined the good traits OF
each.
Government botanlsts are confident
that the results OF this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and
fruit ut latitude midway between
tho northern limits OF tho sweet and
bitter orange.

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL.
Cincinnati Girls Automatic Device TO
Water Flowers In Cemetery,

Cincinnati Girls Automatic Device TO
Water Flowers In Cemetery.
Miss Carrie d. Jackson, 1861 Chapel
street Cincinnati, who was born and
reared IN Dearborn county, Ind,
prompted by her love for her late de-
parted brother, George W. Jackson,
and other members Of her family now
resting IN the family lot In Grecndalc
cemetery. at Lawrcnceburg, Ind. de-
sired TO erect something new and
beautiful TO their memory. a happy
idea came to her. She would have q
largo vase constructed, containing pots
Of flowers, and set II in the center OF
q flower bed. Within the vase there
should be tank OF water. which by
Its own automatic force each day
would water the flowers in the pots
and also the flowers In the bed planted
around the foot Of the vase.
Accordingly she went TO work, en-
ploycl n mechanic, supcrintended the
construction herself and In few
weeks her Meals were realized The
Vi u llldl Nuot Allfis ~ F''h IA ''NN''
dale cemetery. The tank has q capac-
fly of about onc-hnlf barrel OF water
and must be Gllcd every two weeks.
During the heat of the day the water
slowly drips from tho large tank into
u smaller one. BY evening the small
tank Is oiled. and by its weight 1t
closes tho valves Of tho large tank
and opens the valves below, thus al
lowing the water to now from II and
refresh the flowers during the cool
hours OF night. BY morning the small
tank Is empty, and the weights lift It
into position ngnin, the lower valves
close, the upper ones open. and the
tank fills as on the previous day.
When Miss Jackson completes the
ornamental design of her vase and
pcrfects the mechanism as she has
planned It will be q thing of beauty.
