 The entire is triangular in form and is divided into IA different sections, each plainly marked and devoted to the fora of distinct region.
 The three pronounced styles of gardening which in comparatively small area m.gh( have produced an inharmonious effect or at least lack of unity, are so charnlingly t.end ed to give, instead. the fine delight of variety.
 The Garden Louis XIV. is, oi course. the most pretentious bit; the finished coquette," some one calls 1t, with it's statues and foun- tains and its well-trimmed borders oi box. It must not be inferred that the French garden is superficial (eXcept as this is the usual char acteristic of gardens), for there is both in this and in the Roman garden, whole history written for those who know how to read it.
 To one not bent on special study and whose knowledge of the art of gardening, past and present, is limited and who prefers quiet walk to dress parade, the Eng ish garden. as it is called, appeals most strongly.
 Not only are the two Americas royalty rep resented, but Europe Asia. Africa and Australia as well. These sections are separat- ed by beautiful walks with exquisite curves and turns; here a magnificent tree, there towering shrub, everything in accordance with an artistic taste.
 In the South American section, particularly of the Argentine Republic. the collection is wonderfully complete. and exceedingly varied and interesting from the Anthurium of the north to the Fagus Antarctcus of the south The tipa, a species of acacia, Is chief Of the ornamental trees; when properly cared for, it grows into beautiful, shapely tree. The leaf | is much like that of the locust, and the bos- | sons, though of the same form the locust, are a brilliant yellow instead of white. The fame of this tree has gone abroad. One of Rio Janero's most beautiful avenues is. in part, adorned by tipas. France, too, now boasts some fine specimens. It grows in any soil, and it's bark contains an insect poison that renders 1t invulnerable to these enemies
 The quebracho (ax-breaker) is a leguminous tree also and is the most valuable and costly of the Argentine woods It's color is a dark, rich red and 1t is so hard and heavy that it seems like iron It is much used for all kinds | of posts also in tanning, and is highly przed by shipbuilders, as the water does not in jure it.
 Several varieties of the algarrobo grow here. In one provnce-San Luis-not only are the cattle fed on the long pods, but the poorer people find them a nourishing food.
 The jacaranda is another ornamental tree much admired for it's fern-like foliage and | beautiful purple-blue flowers.
 The mahogany tree Is native of the prov ince of Buenos Aires, and there are several fine specimens in the garden. with the char acteristic bifurcated leaf The blossoms appear | in December; they white, and in form | something like small magnolia bloom. 1 The naracata, from one of the northern l provinces, attains great size and Is of unusual | service to the people The pith is edible and

reached. Beyond this lies the Zoolog- ical garden, and still farther on the far-famed Park of Palermo. From both of these the Botanical garden is dis tinct in spirit and style. It is the em- taste, really marvellous blend ing of the beautiful and the useful.
 In 1892 this land was granted to the director general of the public parks, Nj. Thays, for the establishment of the Botanical garden and the garden was opened to the public in Sep tember, 1898 One must know something of the soil and the seasons here to understand how even with masterly hand at the helm. such marvels have been accomplished in so short time.
 Certain students of medicine ana pharmacy from the National college and other schools of the city, fire 9uent the garden and spend hours in inter esting study Indeed. they have a rich field from which to glean, as there are, in what is called the School of Botany, over 6,000 species. all per fectly classified according to the sys tenn Of De Candolle.
 The garden contains about 20 acres Of ground, half ot which is level, the other half very uneven and ending on the northern side In steep banks that overlook the street, Las Heras.

they have already brought the matter
before the supervisors of lowering the

that some of the streetcars are SO

The other matter to which the club
has turned its attention is with the

the trains arriving from the south have
no gates to divert the passengers in
