Where Microbes Thrive.

The alimentary canal is the most
perfect culture tube known to bac-
THEOLOGICAL science. No part OF the
body is so densely populated with
micro-organisms. II is estimated that
in the alimentary canal OF the average
adult about 10000, 100000 microbes
come into existence every day.
They crowd this region so densely
that scientists originally believed that
they were indispensable to human life.
According to a writer in McClure's,
Pasteur, who first discovered them,
maintained this view, but recent inves-
LEGATIONS have rather disproved It.
There are many animals that exist
In perfect health without any intes-
final bacteria at all. Polar bears,
seals, penguins. elder ducks. arctic
reindeer--these and other creatures in
the arctic zone have few traces OF
these organisms.

PRUNE TREES
AND SHRUBS
Severe Annual "SIa shing", So
Commonly Practiced BY I'm
skilled Persona Should
Not Be Tolerated.

The severe annual "slashing" so
commonly practised by unskilled per-
sons on many of our city street trees
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities.
Evergreens should never be trimm ed
in the fall, and the older wood should
not be cut.
Vigorous growing vines, like the
Virginia creeper. may have practically
ell the secondary growth cut away
during the dormant season, as this
dies of itself sooner OF later thus
forming lodging for dust, insects and
sparrow nests.
When pruning roses. the stems
should be shortened one-third to one
half. The gardeners rule is TO cut
back the weak growing varieties
severely, and the stronger ones less.
The ideal street tree like the ash,
locust, poplar, cottonwood or walnut.
has a well-defined trunk with lateral
branches uniformly arranged about.
and is headed high enough so as not
TO interfere with those passing by.
Such a tree is not difficult to get il

matter should not be hurried. A GEN.

where their growth is too open. to Sc
cure a symmetrical and also sub
stantial form. This latter is neces-
sary because street trees are subject
TO damage from windstorms more than
other trees. Interfering or scraggy
limbs should be cut out as fast as they
appear. while large branches that be-
gin to bend down should be removed
limb by limb, SO as not to give the APP
pearance of severe cutting. After
such trees come to be OF some size,
little further pruning is necessary,
other than that of maintaining gen.
orally uniform development of the
head. Shade trees about ones home
or in parks are treated similarly.

What He Found Out.

An Italian Journalist, Signor Tom
maso Giloni, has just had some dis
agreeable experiences. DESTROYS Of
knowing something of the lunatic asy-
lums from within. with the object of
ameliorating the lot of the insane, he
presented himself at the gates of the
Cimarosa asylum and asked for ali
audience Of the king of Italy. The
attendants showed him the door and
then he ran foul of the police, and in
the end found himself interned in the
asylum. The doctors examined him
and finding him far from tractable
administered an emetic. Then they
gave him a shower bath and next vac
cinated the enterprising journalist
After that they held a consultation in
the presence of the "lunatic''-whose
bona fides they evidently suspected
and brutally but unanimously agreed
that the only treatment in such case
was trepanning for a cancer on the
brain. BY this time Signor Tommaso
Giloni thought the best he could do
was to confess. This he did, and
found himself at the police station.
The magistrate, however, released
him, observing that ne thought the
doctors had administered sufficient
punishment.

In recent years Bordeaux mixture
has come into I'll favor among the ap-
pie growers on account of it's injuri-
GUS effect upon the fruit and foliage
of certain varieties, and there is a
growing demand for a reliable fungi
eide which can be used for the control
Of apple diseases without producing
such injury. Bordeaux mixture is un-
doubtedly the best all-around fungi
eide known, and 1t Is unfortunate that
the apple growers have to consider
the possibility of giving 1t up; but the
russeting OF the fruit and the burning
of the foliage caused by 1t are so OBJ
jectionable that 1t seems highly de-
sirable, IL not necessary, to adopt a
less injurious fungicide even at the
risk of a partial sacrifice of efficiency
In the control of disease.

In the future the production OF apples
