THE CHESTNUT BLIGHT.

The chestnut trees of America are
doomed. A fungus, coming from no
one knows where, Is engaged in sap
ping the life sap of our trees and un-
less some agent for combating It is
found shortly the famous spreading
chestnut tree" will be one with the
passenger pigeon and the buffalo.
The fungus appeared in New York
for the first time about three years
ago. II was of species unknown to
the botanists. They had never beheld
IL before and no authority they have
consulted has been able to enlighten
them. The parasite is of such prim-
tive type, spreading and multiplying
from single cells and from spores,
that cutting II only multiplies II. II
has no enemy so far as the students
can discover II sucks dry all the
juices OF the tree that 1t can reach
and as each tree cell dies 1t plows its
way through the dead tissues to the
live beyond. The cambiun, or the
inner bark of the chestnut, is its par
ticular choice. This is the conveyor
of the sap and throughout its veins
and cells the fungus spreads its
growth until the tree is killed by the
simple suppression of its circulation.
The chestnuts have been consider
ed among the hardest of American
forest growths. They are vigorous
and have been quick at throwing off
all other diseases until the mysterious
fungus blew in on the winds from
some outland country. They are not
only among the most common of our
trees, but also among the most useful.
They vie with the cedar in the de-
mand for telegraph and telephone
poles. 1t is sought for purposes of
working up into tables, chairs and
paneling. In fact, a large percentage
of the furniture which appears on the
market as oak is in reality chestnut,
the grains of the two woods resemb-
ling each other closely.
The fungus has confined its deyasta-
tion so far mostly to the east hut
there is no way of keeping II within
that section. The damage wrought In
New York state is estimated at about
$4,000, 600 in three years.

his home here, aged 46 years. The
cause Of death was given by his physi-

which were brought upon him by the
Harrisburg capital graft cases and his
recent sentence OF two years in the
penitentiary for his part in the alleged
