Greeley Anecdotes.

The distinction OF being an illegible
writer was one which Horace Greeley
never Welded. On a certain occasion an
old composition ventured to beard the
famous Tribune lionin his sanctum. "Mr.
Greeley" he said, "there is a word in
this copy that | can't make out. It's
either 'pawnbroker' or 'pennyroyal' or
pantheism,' but Pm not sure which. "
Mr.. Greeley Snatched the sheet and star
ed hard at If. "Well, what blinkity blank
idiot wrote that ?" he fiercely demanded.
"Y-you did, Mr.. Greeley" The great
man turned back TO his work. Lett go
just as it's written" he growled, and the
compositor gladly escaped.
On another occasion a foreman rushed
into the sanctum and told Greeley that
the editorial page had just been pied.
The editor sprang TO his feet, with an
angry howl, and the foreman lied for his
life. The confined Sanctum wasn't big
enough TO hold Greeley in his swelling
passion. He rushed down the stairs and
out on the sidewalk. A mild little man
near the curb was STOPPING over tying
his shoe as the editor emerged. Greeley,
mad with rage, rushed at this inoffensive
person and kicked him half across the
street.
"Ding blame you," he roared, "you
are always tying your shoe"
And so, having relieved his anger, he
returned to the Sanctum.

Our Underground Waters.

Water is found in some amount in all
formations below the earth'S surface,
from the looSest and most porous sands
and gravelS TO the hardest slate and gran
ite. The amount varies from the mereSt
trace chemically combined in the mole
culeS OF the rocks TO immense reservoirs
which supply wells flowing hundreds ot
thousands OF gallons a day. Some waters
are so pure that a refined chemical anal
ySiS shows only minute traces OF organic
and mineral matter; others are so heavily
charged with minerals or other impurities
as TO be unsuitable for use.
The slope of the surface at any point is
one factor determining the amount OF wa
ter absorbed by the ground. The direc-
ton and amount OF slope also determine
the form OF the water table-that is, OF the
upper limit OF Saturation. Except where
the surface is flatthe water table is gener-
ally not parallel with the surface, il is al
most invariably fartheSt from the surface
on the SUBMITS OF hills and mountains and
nearest 10 il in valleys and along the
coast, reaching the surface in swamps
along rivers, lakes, and beaches. l'he
surface of the water table is always in
motion, IFS higher portions flowing to-
ward III, lowest outlets along rivers or
the sea. This direction of How explains
why fresh water is usually found when
well is dug in a sandy beach.-From
Water-Supply Paper 223, United States
Geological Survey.

"The standard OF temperance in the
army, for both officers and men, is ex-
ceptionally high and is not exceeded in
the other walks Of life, unless in the
church and among railroad employees, ="
said Major General Frederick d. Grant,
in a report to the War Department.
There was a remarkable decrease, he
adds, in the number OF trials by military
courts in the department last year as COM
pared with the previous l2moHths. This
is undoubtedly one good effect Of abol-
shing the "canteen," or official saloon,
from the army.

Sephedsuun nCunb,W
About The Trees.

Trees, like animals, eat, drink, sleep,
grow and die. They tear their clothes
and have TO mend them. They jostle
each other like rude boys in acrowd, and
the strong conquer the weak. Disease
beSets them. Accidents break their limbs.
The varying weather checks their growth
or coaxeS them to flourish.
Kin of woodchuck and the bear, they
put on warm coats in the winter and wait
for spring. When the weather is warm,
a tree goes TO sleep at shutdown and in
the morning wakes again. A cloudy sky
makes the tree drowsy, rain puts il to
sleep. SO the only days of prosperity
and tree activity are the clear days.
In sleep the leaves Of the tree fold TO-
gether and droop. The closing of the
leaves checks the cooling process Of
evaporation and maintains bodily heat.
All young and tender foliage tends thus to
curl and to sleep when the weather is
bad or night is in the sky. Older and
sitter leaves go TO sleep sitting up, as it
were, as father does in his armchair.
The breathing Of the trees is as nee
eSsary TO its life as is the breathing Of
animals to theirs. All life consists Of a
continuous building up and tearing down
ofthe trees cells. The material for build
ing new cells is made OF food taken in
and elaborated, made over, by intricate
chemical processes. The oxygen in the
air is one of the chemical ingredients both
in destroying and building the cells Of
animals and trees. The leaves are the
lungs, which inhaIe carbon dioxide and
exhale pure oxygen.
The wood of the trees and the bark are
not alive. The living part is the lining
between the wood and the bark, called
the cabium, and the leaves, which are an
eXtention OF the calbium. Raw material
is drawn in through the transparent up
per skin OF the leaf. Then one OF ma
ture'S mysterious laboratory processes
recombine the elements OF the crude ma
terial and produces cell food, largely
starch solution, which trickleS down
through the inner bark and rebuildS the
constantly diSintegrating cells.
So a tree eats and breathes and grows.
A full tree does not become any higher,
but it lays on each year new thickness
of woody tissue and one of bark. The
outer bark wears off like the cuticle scales
from an animal.
Theoretically, a tree might live forever,
and so, theoretically might an animal go
on living, for there seems to be no reason
why cells should cease 10 build. Our
manner of wearing out is not like that OF
a machine. But men and trees alike are
subject to decay and disease and acci-
dent. Although some trees live TO be
thousands Of year old, every tree ac-
cumulates infirmites with years. II the
soil is dry beneath, it StarveS to death.
Insects eat its foliage. Plant-lice suck its
juices. Beetles tunnel under the bark
Wind breaks off the branches and fungus
spores attack the wounds. Decay then
hollowS the shell until a strong wind
snaps off the old fellow, and we see the
diseased and porous stump.
