Plant Nails Among the Roots and

A dozen large nails planted among

cause the oxidation of the iron and
the sap carries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu-

Not many years ago one of the sights
Of a certain French cemetery was a
tree, half green, half rust colored, lux
uriantly leaved upon both sides and
in fiourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were made for
an examination of its roots 1t was al
most impossible to exhume ii. When
all the ground around it was loosened
and the roots were exposed it was
found that the tree when a sappling
had clasped its young roots around the
haste of an iron balustrade encircling
tomb. The roots of the tree had run
in and out between the iron bars of
the fence. Exactly half of the tree
had come in contact with the iron, and
that half put forth a growth luxurlant-
ly leaved in rusty brown. The half
that had not touched the iron devel-
oped a growth of normal coloring.
The tree as a whole was a fine speci-

81 100000 in whirlwind campaign,
are in distress owing to the discovery
that considerable portion of the sub
scriptions were paid in mining stock
that is at present unmarketable and

ideas for improvements will have to
be abandoned owing to the failure to
realize on these stocks. The univer-
sity management does not doubt the
good faith of the men who made their
subscriptions partly in script, but they
are in quandary, unwilling TO ask the
givers to make good the deficiency in
cash, and yet aware that if they do
not the amount available for the pur-
poses for which the subscriptions were
asked, would be materially curtailed.
