TREES FOR STREETS.
Why Oaks Are Ideal and How to Plan,
Them,

There Is a growing appreciation of
oaks for street planting throughout our
own and foreign countries. In Califor-
MIA, especially in the south, sentiment
has moved us to plant live oaks large
ly because they are becoming scarcer
each year. When intelligently treated
they form ideal street trees, but large
holes for them should be dug and pen-
ty of water supplied for the first five
years of their life. After that one
would have little to fear. says the Los
ten Street trees compiled by two men,
one of whom Travelled in Europe, the
other in the United States and Can
ada, the oaks have the first six places.
In California the cork oak will GER
tainly prove more satisfactory in every
way than our native live oak. In Eu
rope native deciduous species Is
largely used. known to us as the Eng
lish oak, tree somewhat grown in
southern California and for a decidu
Gus tree it Is fairly satisfactory. Grown
for summer shade it is very salts
factory in the garden and is a hand
some tree.
Avenues of this tree are quite COM
mon throughout central Europe, and
the city of Hamburg. In Germany, has
grown right into the ancient forest of
this oak, so that many of these arbo-
real giants are now in the city proper.
Oaks have been extensively planted
of late years In Washington, Boston
and many Of the larger eastern cities
The red oak holds first place. with the
pin oak a close second. Neither grows

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Attractive Types In European Hamlet;
That Could Be Copied Here.

A well known writer on civic i'm
provement has written that we to-
often overdo some Of our beautifyins
by leaving the task too long undone O.
until we get SO wrought up over the
necessity of Its accomplishment tina
We continue on to the opposite extrem,
too many country roadsides, ever
whole villages, are slicked up until al
beauty is slicked out Of them. There
is happy medium beyond which W,
should not go when dealing with rura
or village scenery. says the Los Ange
les Times. In the city one may in
dulge himself 80 far as Is possible il
securing everything until Its bright
ness shines on all about, but sylvan
scenery will not admit of like treat
ment
While in the United States we clean
up natural and artificial alike until
the latter term will apply to oil, we
much admire the quiet, quaint, whole,
some villages Of Europe. where in the
very heart and center moss grown
stone bridges arch between banks
whose slopes are covered with under
brush, ferns and other denizens of the
woodland. Many Of these old European
villages, founded one or two thousand
years ago, have the same tangled wild
wood along either side Of their streams
that was present when the first settler
came.
The fitness and charm Of such treat
ment or lack Of treatment have been
recognized in many towns and cities of
our country where parkways have been
built along the banks of streams, often
for stretches of several miles. No fea-
ture Of civic improvement would add
more Of charm to the whole Of Los
Angeles than to have the narrow strips
along the banks of the Los Angeles
river planted to suitable trees and
shrubs. Railroads should be compelled
to keep their tracks farther away from
the official river banks and maintain a
narrow park alongside their right Of
way. Some eastern cities have so or
dained.

Value of Rubbish Cans.

No other movement inaugurated of
late years for improvement Of town or
village life has met with such uni
versal response as the placing Of cans
or other receptacles for rubbish along
streets. But a few years ago they
were not to be found in southern Cali
fornia. Now they are present in every
really live place, and reports from 9th
er sections Of the country show con-
clusively that the practice has become
quite universal. The individual re-
ceives in this way a suggestion to keep
his premises as well as street frontage
free from rubbish and litter Of all
sorts.

Her French Failed.

The Might Of the Small.
The application of few drops of oil
is often the secret of an enormous
piece of machinery doing its work
smoothly and well. the work accom-
plished being out of all proportion to
the quantity of lubricant used. On the
other hand, little grit may effectually
stop the machine. Little things may
serve therefore either to retard or to
accelerate highly important processes.
We know what enthusiastically small
quantities Of certain substances will
put an end to the great vital processes.
and we know also how endless ap-
pears to be the action Of the engines
or ferments which render food assim-
liable so that the same vital processes
are sustained. A thirtieth part Of a
grain Of aconitine will kill the human
organism, one part Of an engine will
transform 100000 parts Of can sugar
into invert sugar, the engine of malt
will convert thousand times Its
weight Of starch into sugar, etc. Such
effects are impressive. and they are
calculated to impress us still more
when we contemplate the number Ut
processes going on in the human ma.
chine which are dependent upon the
action of small things.

PROMOTER OF RACES.
Matchett Explains His Business in

character. and believed 10 be one Of a
band OF clever crooks. confessed 10 the
police yesterday that he and his compan-
ions were touring the country TO interest

scheme. What the scheme was he did
not say.
Matchett. or Hall. was arrested Thurs
day evening with a woman posing as his
wife. Mrs Annie Matchett. alias Silvers.
and Frederick J. Little. alias Hamilton.

act Of palming a valuable diamond ring
in an + street jewelry store.
Yesterday Matchett said that his wife
did not intend 20 steal the diamond ring.

acquainted with the clerks, whom she later
hoped 20 induce TO invest in her hus-
bands racing scheme.
The trio were photographed yesterday
and the photographs sent 20 all other
large Eastern cities. They probably will
be arraigned in Police Court to-day
