abodes of numbers of people who find, since
the Introduction Of the eucalyptus trees but
little traces of the dreaded malaria that for
ages once caused those regions to be
stunned and deserted.
In the low malarial regions around the Cape
of Good Hope and in some similar unhealthful
regions around Algiers and elsewhere. the
same benifcent results have followed the intro
duCtion of the eucalyptus trees.
As yet no variety has been discovered that
IS able to withstand even a moderate frost, but
the fact that millions of these trees can be
raised so easily and quickly in California and
Florida and perhaps in the warm places on the
Gulf of Mexico. and that It's timber can be so
widely utilized. is matter for cohgratulatlon
to all who are interested in the conservation OF
our forests and also in the introduction of new
varieties of trees that will add to the timber
wealth of the country.
~ general, eucalyptus may be successfully
planted in the sections OF the United States
suitable for the culture of citrus fruits. They
are grown in nearly all the agricultural sec
lions of California, along the coast Of southern
Oregon, and to limited extent in Arizona
New Mexico and western Texas Several spe-
ces have also been planted In Florida and
along the Gulf coast. Here, however, occa'
sional frosts have killed or severely damaged
the trees, and for this reason planting has
been discouraged.
The blue gum Eucalyptus globulus) has
phenomenally rapid rate of growth. Seedlings
stands will average height growth OF 90 feet
in years and 100 feet In 10 years. Under
very favorable conditions individual trees have
reached a height of 125 feet and a diameter or
Sc inches In years. In sprout stands growth
Is even more rapid. trees frequently reach 8
inches in diameter and 50 feet In height In
months while In years a diameter of Z inches
and height of 20 feet often attained. In
California under favorable conditions. trees
have attained a height Of l75 feet and di
ameter of 8 feet In 25 years. Although some
times irregular In form, the tree tends to de-
velop straight, gradually tapering. unforked
stem In plantations the trunks become rap
idly cleared of branches to a considerable
height. but In the open. trees branch more
widely and gradually develop a short crown
OF massive, spreading branches.
Blue gum is practically immune from dis
ease. Where trees are reproduced by sprouts,
the old stumps frequently decay slowly at the
heart, while the sprouts remained unanected.
Growing trees are not attacked by insect enc
mics but felled timber lying Embarked upon
the ground Is subject to inhry by a wood mi
ming insect.
Blue gum rarely suffers any breakage OF the
limbs by winds, and the spreading root sys'
TEN renders the trees very wind firm.

turns. When the ball is rolled they
may hop aside to escape being

are supposed to be knocked down and

Young children love this game:
Take barrel hoops and wind them with
gay ribbons or crepe paper, suspend
small bell in the center. Hang the
hoop up and give each guest a small
bean bag the same color as the hoop.
The aim is to ring the bell when
thrown through the hoop. Five trials

ACTS AGAINST ANNEXATION.

Annexation of part of the Third ward
of Irvington to the city of Newark was
the chief matter of discussion taken
up last night by the Irvington Board
of Trade at its regular monthly meet
ing in Masonic Hall. DR.. Albion c..
Christian declared that Newark's
necessity for a storm sewer in the Sec
ton in which it is proposed to annex
to this city may be a strong reason in
Trenton for passing the bill, but 1t does
not appeal to him.
He looked upon it as a scheme OF
dismemberment. If Newark took n e
fifth of the town now ii could take an
other fifth later on and ultimately take
1t all. 1t would also either dispose of
or delay the proposed additions to the
Grove Street School.
Former Freebooter Edward Jacob
and Julius Koehler. president of the
Irvington Improvement Association,
both spoke emphatically against an
ne&ation. On motion of DIR. Christian
resolutions were passed expressing the
sense of the board as being opposed to
the annexation project, especially
without a referendum provision in the
bill. Copies of these resolutions will
be forwarded to all of the Essex coun-
ty members of the Assembly.

NORTH ARLINGTON
HAS PROSPECTS
OF IMPROVE ENTS
Public Service Representative
Promises Action on Request
for Gas Mains.

North Aflingtons hopes for gas were
raised last night, when Mr.. Clendennin,
representing the Public Service Cor
poration, appeared before the Borough
Council and assured the board that the
corporation would be only too glad to
lay its mains in the borough streets,
If it can receive assurance of a fair
amoun of business. Councilman Nc
Carthy said that he had applied for
gas and was Informed that if he would
pay the modest charge of 81 POO the gas
main would be extended to his house.
Mr.. Clendennin said hat his company
would run a as pipe to any house 100
feet from a street main without any
hesitation. He also said that IL the
borough would supply him with maps
showing the grades of streets in which
mains can be laid the company would
have surveys and estimates made with
out delay in view of the act that the
borough is on the Eve of considerable
development.

said, for the Council to watch legisla-

Borough Counsel John NJ. Bell re-
ported that the borough had gotten an
injunction which will stop the
Suburban Water Company, or any
allied concern, from crossing the River

heard in the Court of Errors and APP

member of the Council, complained in

The matter was referred to the water
