IN California. The quaint dwarfed.

nese garden so effective have been I'M
Some of these have required many years
TO produce their growth, and their pro-
ouction mas long been considered a Japa-
nese secret. American foresters how
ever. are acquiring greater skill in prun-
ing and tree surgery, SO that they have
almost mastered the japanese secret.
The result OF landscape gardening is
becoming so widespread that within the
next quarter of a
Spre3Q OF century Europeans
+ha Mov.~..4 will visit the United
States as much for
the beauty of the scenery as for other
reasons. This year miles of beauty will
be created from what has been squalor
and ugliness. Every large manufacture
ing interest is becoming keenly alive to
the need of identifying it's grounds. The
great railroads are employing landscape
gardeners to remove unsightly landmarks
and make each mile beautiful to the trav-
eler. In railroad gardening the planting
of trees is an important matter Large
most effective in protecting the tracks.
The northwestern railroads are cultivat-
ing hundreds of acres Of trees which are
being transplanted as rapidly as possible
along their tracks. AS these grow in
size they will lessen the destructive pow
ers of the wind and shield the roads from
the heaviest snowfalls. In this way their
unitarian value in labor saving becomes
an economic feature. In addition to this
the long miles Of treeless prairies. which
have been so monotOnous to the traveller
across the continent. will be greatly va
ried.. for scientific skill will finally pro-
duce trees where they have never grown
before.
The problem Of dealing with pieces of
ground that have been disfigured by some
industrial pursuit is frequently difficult
one. requiring originality on the part of
the landscape gardener. Near Pasadena,
in California, there was a hideous hollow
which had once been a mine gulch. A
public-spirited man has turned it into a
sunken garden which is a delight to look
upon.

MARYLAND AGG|ES
TO TAKE UP BOXING
Class Has Been Formed and
''Kid" Sullivan Will Be :
Instructor.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


COLLEGE PARK, December %, 1911.
A boxing class has been added to the
athletic curriculum at the Maryland
Agricultural College. Kid Sullivan. the
we'll known Washington and Baltimore
scrapper, has been engaged as instructor,
and regular lessons will begin early in
January. Sullivan will give each OF the
forty members thirteen lesson, each les
son to be limited to three three-minute
rounds. The scheme has the sanction OF
tho faculty Of the institution. and it Is be-
ieved to be the only college in Maryland
where there is a regularly organized box
ing class. It is understood that the Kid
Is paid quite q handsome sum for his
services, each member of the class being
taxed a certain amount. Cadets Roster,
Mudd and Duckett are the captains OF
the respective classes, and great interest
Is manifested. The lessons will be given
In the gymnasium building and are ex-
pected to attract practically the entire
student body. Already there Is much
rivalry between the several classes in the
college, and the honor of being the best
scrapper in the institution is expected
to result in some fierce contests and
many black eyes and bruised counte-
nances. Sullivans reputation as severe
puncher has preceded him, and already
some Of the ambitious youths at the col
lege are figuring on making him quit
before many lessons have been given.
If these young men persist in their am
bitfon it is a safe bet that somebody is
going to be hurt. Besides being hard
hitter, the Kid is known to possess much
science. and what he does not know
about the boxing game is hardly worth
knowing. The contests between the men
representing the various classes is certain
to arouse q class spirit that will add
much to the earnestness of the men when
they get into action. The college hos
pital, however is not overcrowded at this
time, and there is plenty Of room for
those whose features and limbs will re-
q,Iire attention.
