DO TREES INCREASE RAINFALL?
Prof. Thomas Shaw Thinks Further
Data Is Needed Before Deciding.

The opinion is very prevalent that
the relation is close between the pres
ence or absence of trees and rainfall.
1t may be that such is the fact, but
the evidence is not so clear on the
whole on this question as could be de-
sired. Take, for instance, the story
told by the weather records kept at
Bismarck, N. D. For the ten years
commencing with and including 1875,
the annual precipitation was six inches
more than it was during the ten years
following. During the first period
almost none of the soil had been
broken up. During the second period
quite proportion had been broken
up. The trees in the locality were
about the same as during the first
period. During the third period the
trees had increased through the plant
ing of groves and yet the average in
crease in the rainfall was only six
inches.
During the first period referred to.
the lakes in the Dakotas were filled
to overlooking. The water in Devils
lake at that time came up to the site
of the present town. The water in the
lake bed is now at least five miles
from the town. Is it not easily sup
possible that a period may come again
when the rainfall will again be as
great as it was in the ten-year period
commencing with 1875. If this were
to happen, doubtless Devils lake
would fill it's banks again.
The same line of reasoning may be
applied to Minnesota. In 1894 and
one or two of the years following,
the weather was so dry that many of
the shallow lakes went dry. On every
hand the statements were made that
dry seasons had came because the
Minnesota forests were being cut
away. But what happened? During
seasons following these lakes refilled.
The present season the greatest food
took place in the Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi rivers that has occurred for
many day. It is we'll to look for
further data with reference to the re.
lation between forests and rainfall.

LAMP SHADES
Slant HaS Been AbaG7-
doped for a Straight
AiDe Effect.

Fancy lamp shades have assumed an
almost straight side line instead of the
slant which once characterized these
dainty trifles of silk, brocade and flow
ers. Among the newest French shades
Is one resembling a section of a cylin-
der having the outside covered with
Milan lace, in rich yellow tint, with
a lining of rose-colored silk. Tiny rose
satin flowers border the top, which is
finished with an edge of gold lace with
fringe added to the bottom. Each
quarter Of the shade has vertical row
of tiny silk roses reaching it's entire
height. These are placed in double
rows in rather conventional style
without giving a stiff look to the USE
full ornament.
For dinner table shade there Is
nothing more attractive and pleasing
than one of rose-colored silk fulled
over the frame and with a narrow gilt
galloon at the upper and lower edges.
Then over the shirred silk goes a lat
tice of narrow gold ribbon with gold
sequins holding the intersections of
the ribbons together.
Gold passementerie imparts dainty
touch to a dinner candle shade which
has the frame covered with gold-col-
ored silk shirred on rather full and the
top and bottom edges finished with
gilt lace. Festoons Of tiny gilt roses
add rich touch to this ornament. The
flowers are draped in shallow curves,
with long dangling fringes or ropes Of
roses trailing down the frame, where
the festoons are caughts up to the top
Of the shade.
Powered silk ribbon or material by
the yard can be converted into most
delightful lamp shades by shirring a
width or length Of it over firm wire
frame and lining the shade with thin
plain-colored silk. Before sewing on
the passementerie short silk fringe
can be fastened around the bottom and
then an inch-wide silk or gilt galloon
be sewed over this, with passemen.

SLEEP RIGHT
One Of the FIRST Req

A certain well-known society girl

curiosity, and discussion followed as
to just what was meant by the words

some time to the conjectures and
questions of the group of girls with
whom she was conversing, the girl
whose careless words had set the ball
of conversation rolling condescended
to explain.

WALDO COUNTY REscRIPT.

The law court Thursday handed down
a rescript in the Waldo county case of
Augusta C. Mather, ct als,. appellants,
versus Edward H. Cunningham, ct ais,
appellees.
The rescript, drawn by Associate JUS
tice Albert NJ. Spear Of Gardiner, is as
follows:
To the Honorable, the Justices of the
Supreme Judicial court, sitting as Law
court at Bangor, in and for the State of
Maine, on the first Tuesday Of June, A.
D. 1909.
The plaintiffs, petitioners to your hon
ors, respectfully represent in the above
entitled matter, that court did on the
tenth day of April, 1909, send to the Su-
preme Judicial court in and for the
county of Waldo, it's mandate reversing
the decree of the lower court in the mat
ter in which said appeal was taken; and
did render its opinion therein, sustaining
the contention of the plaintiffs in said
appeal; but that said mandate and the
opinion was silent upon the question of
costs; and that so far as said mandate
affects the same, the plaintiffs would not
have the right to have costs taxed in
their favor therein.
Wherefore, inasmuch as this honorable
court, sitting as court of law, has in
other cases made an allowance of costs
prior to the mandate of it's decision
which mandate in that respect it has
been the practice of the Supreme court
to follow, your petitioners pray that this
honorable court will recall its certificate
of decision and mandate in said case and
restore the case to the docket of this
court, sitting as court of law for the
purpose of hearing the parties in said
matter as to the costs therein, and that
upon such hearing it will order that the
costs of such appeal to be taxed by the
court shall be paid by the appelees.
1t would appear from this petition and
prayer that the case had already gone
to judgement when the petition was
filed, R. S. Chapter 10, Sec. 40. We
know of no statute or rule of law, which
authorized the law court to recall judg-
ment in this case and re-instate it upon
the docket of the law court.
