WONDERS OF WOOD SURGERY.
An Art That is Able to Save Valuable
Trees.

The wonders Of tree surgery VIII
amaze the average layman in such
matters It is only few years since
the ravages of a severe wlndStorm
would have proved fatal to many trees
in its path. 1t was customary merely
to cut off the broken or splintcrcd
limb and leave the wound to heal as
best it could. If the tree were badly
split it was removed. Today few acci-
dents to trees prove fatal. The frac-
turcd surface is first treated antisep-
tically. 1t has been found that these
exposed surfaces of living wood are
sensitive to many germs. The air it,
self is full of germs dangerous to-
trees, and if these be allowed to lodge
and develop they will gradually pro-
duce a sore. and if neglected will eat
out the very heart of the tree.
The broken parts are then brought
together and bound up. A wound of
this kind. intelIigentIy treated. will
heal itself completely. and the tree
will in time be as strong as ever. The

latest idea in tree surgery is to bind
the parts together by means of metal
bars passing directly through tho
limbs tightened By bolts at either
end. The practice of binding the
broken parts together by metal bands
Is discouraged, since tight band
tends to check the free circulation of
the sap and hinder the healing proc
ess Then again the tree is likely to
grow about the metal band and sus-
tain serious injury.
4 wound Of this kind, even after il
has been skilfuily treated, must be
carefully watched. There is consid-
trabto danger Of water working it's
way into these creviccs and hindering
the knitting process, perhaps causing
the entire interior to decay. TO pre-
Vent this, ingenious sheds OF concrete
or metal are built about the exposed
surface t" shelter them. The cutting
OF a limb is performed with tho same
scientific attention. The limbs are
cut at a carefully calculated angle.

he opened fire with the gun, and the
woman fell dead. The man was not in

Cufie sat beside the body till morning
and at daylight came in and notified
the officers that he had killed the wo-
man, giving himself into custody, at the
