MAPLE SUGAR TREE

Within it's wide range the sugar
maple appears as a predominant tree
only in the New England States, New
York, southern Canada, northern and
western Pennsylvania and in parts
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan.
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In the
southern Appalacfians it occurs in
scattered bodies where climate condi-
tons are similar to those of the
north. In the extreme northern part
of New York State and the adjacent
district of Quebec the forest growth
is often almost pure maple, and even
considerably farther south, where
beech and birch become associate
trees, the sugar maple holds Its own
as the dominant species. In northern
Pennsylvania at an altitude of over
1000 feet the mixture is much the
same as it is in New York. In Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois a similar condi-
ton is found. But as the hilly coun-
try disappears the maple retreats to
the richer and damper soils, leaving
great areas to the oaks and chestnuts.

SEAWEED FOR HATS

rather unusual industry along the
Kentish coast has come to public at
tention through a complaint lodged
with the Kent and Essex Sea Fish
cries Committee at recent meeting
in London. The inhabitants of the
Isle of Grain and of the adjoining dis
tricts of the east coast of Kent have
for many years been collecting a
white seaweed that is washed up
along the shore, which has been used
by London and provincial milliners
as trimming for women's hats.
According to the English press this
has grown into profitable industry
during the winter months when farm
work was not to be had, but it's con-
t.nuance is threatened, so those in
terested claim, by the practise of
trawlers, who attach barbed wires to
their travis and gather this white
seaweed before it is ripe, selling the
algae thus collected at a very low
figure In the ordinary way the sea-
weed falls off from the roots and is
washed ashore, but the travis pull
it up by the roots and thus destroy
the source of supply as we'll as leav-
ing nothing for the islanders to COL
leet but the refuse that has been
thrown back into the sea by the
trawlers. 1t was asked, among other
things, that a closed season for the
weed be adopted.-Consular Reports.

ARTIFICIAL MARBLE

The artificial, or stucco, marble IS
in the main part composed of gypsum,
which should be hard, so that the
product can be smoothed and pol
ished To the finely powdered and
sieved burnt gypsum marble dust IS
often added, and the mixture gauged
with water in which mucilage has
been dissolved. The eolors and the
streaks or veins, the able imitation OF
which is the main object in the man
ufacture of artificial marble, are
added to the dry mixture as mineral
colors, or during the hardening of the
finished product upon its surface by
aid of chemical compositions.
To obtain streaked slabs large balls
of gypsum are kneaded with smaller
ones of different colors, and from the
ball so obtained thin slabs are cut,
which are laid upon the still damp
base and then subjected to high pres
sure. After hardening the slabs are
blamed. To avoid this toilsome opera
ton of planning a sheet of glass highly
polished and rubbed with oil is used.
Colored lines representing the veins
are traced upon this sheet; then
a three-quarter inch layer of a thick
mixture of gypsum of the desired
color is carefully poured over the
glass and left to harden.

Recital reat
for Audience
Famous Quartet Attracts but
Few to Wallace Hall Concert.
Artistic Program Is Rendered
by Performers.

An appreciative but rather small
audience was.present last night at the
first concert of the Kneisel Quartet
fifth season in Newark, given in Wal
lace Hall.
Even considering the inclemency of
the weather the attendance was
smaller than it should have been, and
it seems a pity that an organization
of the merit and standing of the one
which appeared last night should not
find better support among the music
lovers of this city.
The concert was opened with
Brahms's quartet in C minor, OPP. 81,
No. /, which was followed by Mr..
Willeke's splendid rendering of Baeh's
Suite in C major, for violoncello
alone. LoefTler's Quintet in f major,
for three violins, viola and violon-
cello (allegro commodo) in one move
ment, drew forth much applause In
this number the quartet was assist
ed by Samuel Gardner, violinist. Then
followed scherzo from Franck's
Quartet in d major, and theme and
variations from Gliere's Quartet in
A major, OPP. 2, which concluded the
program.
The members of the quartet are:
Frank Kneisel, first VIOLIN Hans
Lett, second violin; Louis Svecenski,
viola, and Willem Willeke. violon-
cello.
The second and final concert of the
season will be given on the evening
of Thursday, March 10, at Sis o'clock
in Wallace Hall.

not yet allowed to receive degrees,
even though they pass the necessary
examinations; but there are, never

The brother and sister both lived

took great deal of exercise and did
very little work, his sister did the

ON THE y = y
SPUR f IF MOMENT
By Roy K. Moulton

FROM THE HICKEYyILLE CLARION.
There was quite confagration in
the Hard Shell meetin' house last
Sunday. Uncle Ezra Harlsins leaned
up agin' the stove and went to sleep.
He was wearjn' his celluloid collar
at the time, 1t bein' Sunday, and
Wide Awake Hose Company had
considerable difficulty in extinguish-
ing the angry element. Several
stained glass memorial windows was
smashed by people jumpin' through
them and. during the excitement,
some party or parties answering the
general description of Hod Peters,
got away with the collection plate.
Uncle Ezra says he is sorry he dis
turbed the meetin', but he is glad
his hair was singed off, as it will
save him the price of haircut.
1t is gettin' purity hard to get
something for nothing and about the
only thing you kin get that way is
the measles.
