The Future of the Christmas Tree.

The proposal Of Vermont to tax
Christmas trees Is likely, whether or
not it cuts short the supply, to do some
thing more important in raising the
whole question of Santa Claus spruce
stage setting. The cut Of Christmas
trees is to be taxed in order to save
the forests. The forests need to be
saved because the use of saplings for
Christmas accessories threatens to de-
plete them. The depletion is going on
as the result of our Christmas-tree Gus
tom--a custom that we are fond of;
an amiable custom, to be sure, in dis
tinction to some Of our other archaic
ways, such as the explosivism OF our
Fourth of July and the dispatching of
deer in the Long Island open season.
The Christmas-tree custom, with all
its gentle beauty, may soon have to 60.

In view of extravagsnces of the aver
age governors ball, it Is pleasing to note
that Governor-elect Hiram w. Johnson
of California has declined to attend a
function Of that sort given in his honor.
He says in defense OF his attitude that
the design of his administration is to be
simple and direct and that, therefore,
the Inauguration ought to be simple
and direct. That is consistency and
sense, and Governor-elect johnson will
gain the appreciation of the people gen.
orally.

Considerable dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by members of the House yestef,
day over the one-session plan and it
is not likely, unless it works better than
it did yesterday, that it will be continued
many more days 1t certainly did not
result yesterday in producing many COM
mittee reports for action by the House,
as most of the routine business disposed
of yesterday was in the clerks files
when the House adjourned Monday even
ing. Ii is suggested that the old method
Of giving the hardest worked committees
permission to sit during sessions of the
House would be productive of better re-
suits.
The Senate committee on railroads
gave hearing yesterday afternoon on
Senator Buffers bill to compel the publ.
cation Of railroad timetables. The gen
eral passenger agents and counsel of the
Central Vermont, Rutland and Delaware
& Hudson roads were present, and Sem
ator Butler was left to oppose this array
OF talent single'haaded and alone until
Senator Powell came to his rescue after
the hearing had been in progress some
time. The committee will in all proba.
bility report the bill adversely.
Included in the work yesterday after
noon was the ordering Of rs bills to
third reading. Included in the list was
the bill amending the deer hunting law,
prohibiting the annual killing to deer
having horns of not less than three
inches in length.
After an eloquent eulogy on the late
President Buekham of the university Of
Vermont, delivered by Mr.. Peck of Bur

ORIGIN OF
DOG DAYS.
Have No Relation to CANNES
or Their Diseases

The dog days" are the hottest Of
the year, but they have nothing to do
with dogs or with any of their diseases
or sufferings. The dog days" are so
named because in the latitude Of tho
Mediterranean this period conceded
with that in which the dog star rose
at the same time as the sun, and
therefore, added its heat 70 that of our
already hot luminary. The dos star,
Sirius, is the brightest, and, in ap
pearance, the largest of the fixed starr
II is called the dog star because II is
seen in the constellation called CAMS
Major. According to Ptolemy, this star
used to have a fiery color, reddor than
the planet Mars, but is now altogether
white. and has certainly been white
for many centuries.
The heat Of the "dog days" really
Games from the gradual heating OF the
earth's surface, which gathers heat.
and becomes warmer from groundhoe
time, February 2, until about August
5, when IL begins gradually to lose
its heat until grounding time.
theoretically, December q ought 20
be the coolest of the year, because
that is the shortest day Of the year,
and, therefore, receives the least heat
and light from the sun. But ex-
perience shows that the coolest days
are generally in February. In the same
way, June p, ought to be the hottest
day of the season. because il is the
longest, and hence receives the most
light and heat. But the earth on
tinues 20 accumulate more heat than Y
radiates until after the climax OF the
dog day season. when the cooling e.
feet begins TO predominate over tne
suns heating effect and so the nel
result is the cooler weather, wnlch
