PENSIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTER!
Commissioners Favor the Adoption
of a Fixed Scale.

of a Fixed Scale.
That the entire pension system OF the
District under which firemen and police
men are retired will be thoroughly con-
sidered by congress- at its next session
is the hope of Commissioner West.
Recently Commissioner mcfarland
recommended to the Commissioners the
adoption of fixed scale of pensions for
firemen. George r. MCGEE has come up
for retirement and Commissioner Macfar-
land has recommended that he be given a
pension of $40 per month, which is the
amount prescribed in the schedule for
total disability after five years service,
as is the case with Fireman MCGEE.
without committing myself to the
proposition that $40 a month is the proper
pension to be paid for only five years
service, and in the hope that at the next
session of Congress the whole question
will receive thorough consideration, / ap-
prove the above notion" says Mr.. Mac
farland.

SHOW SKILL OF GARDENERS
DWarfed Trees Product Of the knowl-
edge and Patience OF the
Japanese.

These charming dwarfted trees are
entirely "A product of the patience and
skill of japanese gardeners, says a
writer in St. Nicholas. The dwaffing
of these is kept a secret by them and
has as yet never been found out or
initiated 10 such a marvellous degree
by any other nation. While there are
dwarf fruit trees grown in Europe,
especially in Germany and Holland, no
such tiny specimens have eyer been
produced there. The trees which are
used for dwarfng by the Japanese EN-.
brace all varieties of conifers. such as
pines, cedars, cryptomerias, jumpers,
many e~yergreens, such as ilex, citrus
tritoliata. etc; some towering plants
like a~zaleas, naples, also some fruit
trees, such as oranges and plums.
which blossom and bear the most tiny
fruits to perfection. 1t is claimed for
some specimens of eedars that they
are over 500 years old. These very
ancient trees are handed down from
father TO son in some families, regard
ed as priceless heirlooms. 1t Is to be
regretted that so many of these beau
tltul dwarfed trees are lost through ie-
norance of the attention they require.
The danger lies in oyercare more than
IN neglect. Too many people imagine
that these pretty foreigners need spe-
clal attention and coddling. when, on
the contrary, a great deal of fresh air.
a reasonable amount of water and not
OF much warmth are tho ebiar - n
qulfements. They are all hardy, and
TOO much warmth in ~oyerheated rooms
Is sure 10 kill them.

therefore with joy that. in about the

he had done more for Egypt than had
almost any other Pharaoh. He found
the country in the widest disorder

ready to become once more the mas

doctrine of peace and goodwill had

Stony meteorites. according to Prof.

theory promulgated by Prof. Chamber
lin, may have had their origin in the
earth as ~by-products Of the catas.
trophe which split the moon off from
u globe. The fact that they could
not get eosmically very far away from
us accounts for them dropping in on
us occasionally when so inclined. In
support OF this view of their terres-
trial origin, we have the fact that 20
terrestrial elements. including helium.
have so far been recognized in meteo-
rites, ten of them being non-metallic.
No new elements have been found.
The six which occur most frequently
in the ea-th's crust. named in the or
der of their abundance, are oxygen,
%silican, aluminium. iron, calcium and
magnesium. The eight most common
ly found in the stony meteorites are
these six. besides nickel and sulphur"
