The annual report of William eolota-

the East Orange Shade Tree .smis-
sion, has been sent to Mayor Curdwell.
He does not ask for an automobile.
There were planted during the year 72S
trees. There were "a new ones lost.
Mr.. Solotaroff states:
During the past year the improve
ment of Elmwood Park which is under
the control of the Shade Tree Commits
sion has been begun. Under the direction
of the city engineer, the area of the
proposed park east of the brook has
beer graded. The filling of the area
west of the brook with ashes has been
continued SO that it is expected that by
next spring it will be brought up to
practically finished grade. 1t has been
decided to plant next spring the trees
to form the border of the park. This
will consist Of the planting of special
sized sugar naples on both sides of
the bounding streets with the exception
of Park street, which is not yet i'm
proved; but which ought to be paved
and guttered the coming season.
"All future permanent improvements
of this plot will depend upon the dispo-
sition of the drainage of the area bor-
dering the park, which will enable the
covering of the open brook now running
through the entire. Until this is done
no further development of the park is
possible"

Charcoal was made famous by the

was odd, quaint and very determined.
His brothers in medicine laughed at his
claims. Thereupon he swallowed two
grains of s~trychnine. enough to kill
three men, and ate some charcoal. The
doctors thought him mad, but he did
not even nav to go to bed. The char
coal killed the effects of the strychnine
and Secheyron was famous. Ever since
