TAR's BAD EFFECT ON TREES
Road surfaclns. So Common In This
Country and Europe, Shown to
Be Injurious.

The tarring of the roads has come
TO be a common practice in this coun-
try and in Europe. especially In the
neighborhood of cities where the auto
mobile traffic has been heaviest A
few years ago the French botanist. Dr.
Gatin. made a study of the trees along
the roadway In the Bots de Boulogne
In Paris TO find whether the treatment
given the roads had any influence upon
the vegetation. This examination
brought out the fact that the trees
that had received the dust from sucn
roads were much affected; tnelr
growth was stunted, the leaves small
shriveled up. and became spotted. In
investigations made subsequently ne
tried to find out whether there were
not other effects upon more deep
lying parts, and gave special atten-
ton to the catalpa, or Indian Dean
as it is called in this country.
Comparing the twigs OF normal trees
with those of affected trees, all nav
ing been cut of on the LIST OF July. ne
found that those on the normal trees
were considerably larger at the base
The reduction In the affected trees Is

Harper's Weekly. The wood cells are
much smaller. whereas the layers I'M

autumn showed more important diner

had the usual deposits OF reserve

other trees showed parallel ehects.
Thus the black locust and the one-leat

summer or in the autumn. showed I'M
favorable effects upon the twigs and

abundant than normally. Finally, al
normal cork formations appeared upon
