DOES TARRING ROADS
SERIOUSLY AFFECT TREES?
French Authorities Experimenting
With an Avenue In Paris.

This road tarring problem has for
months past been engaging the atten-
ton Of French scientists owing to the
numerous complaints touching the Ill
effects Of tarred roads on the vegeta-
ton in the Bots de Boulogne and else
where In the vicinity Of Paris. The
head gardener Of the B0is has come
forward as a reliable witness Of the
harm done to trees by the black pow
derry tar dust which settles on them.
whatever their height may be, and can
not be removed even by the heaviest
rain. lie has produced samples OF
leaves thus injured, and he forecasts
that in settling upon the foliage the
tar dust or powder raised by the per-
petual' grind Of traffic must end by
sitting the development OF the tree.
Reports received by the commission
from municipal gardeners and planta-
ton custodians confirm this view Of
the matter; but, categorical though this
indictment against road tarring is. the
commission very prudently declines to
believe implicitly what is said until
such assertions have been investigated
to determine definitely what truth
there is in them.
Practical experiments have yet to be
made before a final decision be reach
ed. An avenue for instance. II is
stated, will be taken as a field for care
full operations. Half Of II will be sub
jected to the tar treatment, the re-
mainder being left to the ordinary road
dust, and at the expiration Of given
period results will be compared. Parks
and plantations will be similarly treat
ed by the creation Of zones of tar
around flower beds and bushes. In fact.
In every way the work In hand is 10
be done thoroughly and methodically.
Delicate flowers and plants will, it Is
thought probably suffer from the
proximity of tar. but this will not
prove that the faded condition Of trees
and foliage along tar laid avenues is
to be ascribed exclusively to the per
nicious effects Of tar dust. A variety
Of circumstances may occasion the
premature shriyellng Of leaves or the
nondeveopment Of a tree, and II would
perhaps be we'll to wait the results of
pending scientific inquiry before ex-
pressing any definite opinion on the
subject. Most assuredly the parks,
gardens and avenues of Paris are, as
the president OF the commission as
serts, worth protecting, and II is sat
Isfactory to have his word for it that
they shall be protected, even II the
tarrlng OF roads has to be prohibited.
In such an eventuality In need not
necessarily follow that no other dust
preventing medium could be found.
Road engineers. In fact, are already
turning their attention to the matter
and are seeking means to attain the
same result without mourning the risk
OF preventing the growth OF trees. sup
posing the accusation brought against
tar be substantiated. -Iondon Stand.

Palestine.

When one thinks of the great events
that have taken place in the Holy
Land, the multitude Of cities. villages
and towns, the countless millions who
have been born there and whose bones
now lie in its rock ribbed hills, the
small dimensions Of Palestine are al
most startling. West of the Jordan,
where most of the historic events took
place, there are only $500 square
miles, including all the geographical
divisions now called Palestine. In
Guiding the land both east and west
Of the Jordan, the total area is $50
square miles. The length OF Pales-
tine from north to south Is about 100
miles. 1t varies In breadth from TWEEN.

MAN LOST AMBITION

II seemed strange to so active and
energetic a young man as Arthur II.
Scott of Brooklyn that he did not at.
tack his work with the usual enthus-
iasm last spring.
He knew II was not Spring fever"
for his health failed and, to use his
own words In a recent letter, II could
not sleep, had no energy or ambition
and could not do any work properly.
II must say that Vinol has done me
wonderful good for feel strong and
ambitious again, just like used to
before my health failed. rest well
at night, have a good appetite and no
more nervousness, all because l took
your excellent tonic, Vinol."
One reason MIR. Scott was willing
to try Vinol was because he knew he
could get his money back II Vinol did
not benefit him. This delicious cod
liver and iron remedy without oil
positively has no equal as spring

One foggy morning recently Lack

for few moments considerable ex.
element prevailed among the commut-

for the rail and in her panic seemed
bent on leaping overheard. An athletic
young man restrained her, assuring her
there was no danger. AT length she
was sufficiently calmed TO speak, and
then, clinging to her preserver's arm.

Tn. Horssshoe as a Maseot.

The superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck is very old.
Il Is said to prevail not only among
English speaking people, but in all
races OF Europe and Asia. Antiduaries
are undecided whether It's origin has
to do with the material from which
the horseshoe IL made or with It's
shape Some writer's ON this subject
have surnised that the lucky qualities
attributed to the horseshoe were de-
rived from It's fancied resemblance to
the halo pictured about the heads OF
saints. but this connection is highly
improbable. MS Il Is known that the SUI
pcrstition certainly antedates Christi

GOOD ROAD FACTS.

Tho people need to be educated
to the fact that money spent for
good roads is not money thrown
away, whereas money spent for
makeshift improvements is worse
than thrown away. -
A good road is a convenience
and a necessity. II helps both
the buyer and seller Of farm
produce. It is invaluable to
farmer and merchant alike.
Good roads will make the We
hioles last longer.
Good drainage is absolutely
necessary in building a good
road.
Every man who owns an auto
mobile, horse or bicycle is in
terested in good roads.
Tho highway and roadside are
usually a fair index of the Peo-
pie living in the vicinity.
