 Prof. A. E. Douglass of the University of Arizona, formerly assistant astronomer of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff. where he engaged in original research work of a novel nature, addressed the astronomical section of the Academy of Science in Los Angeles this week. At Flagstaff Prof. Douglass became deeply interested in tree growth as attested by the annular rings dis closed in cross-sections of giant pines from 300 to 800 years old. By examining the cross sections of many large logs the professor was enabled to compare them with each other and note the fact that all alike showed large growth in the years following rainy seasons and meagre growth in dry seasons. He thus found a sure criterion of rainy and dry years for periods reaching back to the century before Colum- bus discovered America. .-Prospec- tor.

ances obtained 2 (two) pounds.
1t was weighed on three dis.
tinct and separate scales. Yet
Mr. Sauls tells US that this was
by no means the largest
grown this year on the bush. It
is only about 4 1-2 feet high
and produced about 20 lemons
this, it's first year of fruitage.
The largest lemon made an ev.

AS to the lemon presented to us
