cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-

In ~wrecking the nervous system, and
can only be cured by a reversal Of the

GRASS BAD FOR TREES.

from the London Daily Nail.
At the Woburn experimental fruIt farm
a long inquiry has been conducted into
the effect Of grass on trees, and the ex-
periments which have been carried out
form the substance of the thirteenth re-
port Of the farm, which has just been
issued.
1t has been shown that the general re-
suit of grassing the ground, either by
sowing seed or replacing the turf after
the trees have been planted. is the ar
restation of all healthy growth ana the
absolute stunting of the tree.
light and unhealthy character i'm
parted to the leaves is one OF the first
noticeable results of the action OF grass
Upon trees. With trees that are feeling
the full effect of grass, the fruits are
found to be small and i'll developed
The variations in soil temperature are
less when the ground is grassed, and this
alone would be favorable TO the growth
of trees. but this good influence is out
weighed by the deleterious effects.

TO SET CLOCKS BY WIRELESS.
Plan Adopted by the German POST
Office Department.

From the Berlin Correspondents Of the New York
Times
The regulation of all the public clocks
by wireless energy is the progressive and
ambitious plan just adopted by the Sec
retary Of the imperial post-office depart
ment.
According to the project of the inven-
tor, an electrician named Ferdinand
Schneider. which has received the sup
port of the military and naval authori-
ties. a central station will be erected
near Fulda, centrally situated for the
whole empire. 1t will have tower 325
feet high, from the top of which the
electric waves will be discharged at one
minute intervals, affecting the hands Of
clocks will be employed in the central
station, switching in interchangeably to
guarantee absolute accuracy.
1t is planned to have only one receiv-
ing clock in each town. other tinepieces
in the same place being connected with
it on the ordinary electric circuit now in
use.
Preparatory steps have already been
taken toward erecting the central estab-
lishment al Fulda. The inventor guar
antees that the system Will work with
absolute accuracy, and that the waves
cannot be interfered with by those of
other wireless stations. The service II is
thought, owing to the great number of
clocks which can be controlled from the
ono station, win be comparatively .inex-
pensive. and the obvious advantage of
absolutely uniform time throughout the
country has also. II is understood, ap-
