TREES RESTING TIME.
The Evergreen in Winter - Tropical
Plants in the Dry Season.

What we call evergreens," says a
gentleman formerly connected with
the Park Department of st. Louis,
ARE not really green during the win
ter, nor are they really alive, but are
dormant.
Every plant must have its period
of rest at some time in the year, and
in our northern latitudes the winter
Is, OF course, the most appropriate
season. The evergreens generally re-
tain the greater part of their foliage
during the winter, but a close exam
ination shows that it dries to such an
extent as to be really dead, and
large part of 1t falls off when the
plants begin their spring growth. The
drying is not peculiar to the foliage.
The branches and stem become as dry
as the foliage, and being almost en-
tirely devoid of moisture are little
damaged by the winters cold.
In some parts of the tropics, how
ever, as in the highlands of Southern
Mexico and Central America, the sum-
mer is the resting time of the trees.
The intense heat of the sun dries up
the earth, the trees drop their leaves,
the woody portions become as dry as
our evergreens in winter, and the
tree takes its rest until the autumn
rains begin.
"Of course this rule does not apply
to large number of tropical plants
which grow in moist jungles or
swampy places. They have accus-
toned themselves to their conditions,
but even they still retain the resting
habit, and at some time of the year
relax in their growing and become as
near dormant for time as circum-
stances will permit. - st. Louis

commissioners of York County

wolves the payment of personal
property tax to the State and under
which the Commonwealth would lose
many thousands of dollars.
1t Is charged that the defendant,
who lives at Hanover, did not make
true returns to the assessor for years
and that he escaped payment of State
tax amounting to $4,000. To make
this up the commissioners reassessed

in the law. Senator John E. Fox,
of this city, represented Auditor
