CONCERNING TREE PLANTING.
SapIinss Should Be Set Out With a
View to the Future.

SapIinss Should Be Set Out With
View to tho Future.
The close setting Of trees is largely
responsible for the deformed arboreal
growth we now have in many Of our
cities. We occasionally see rows OF
trees that have become hedges forty
and fifty feet high with numerous dead
branches on the inside and whole dead
trees here and there. though nearly all
such examples are in rural districts
Out in the open we see trees growing
so close together that no one Of them
has u good form. Each is struggling
to get out into the light. 1t IS the
hardest thing in the world to induce
men to look forward for twenty FIVE
years and take the growth of trees into
consideration.
Had our ancestors Planned for the
future we should not now have mass
of deforned trees. many Of them ut
only to be grubbed out and cast into
the fire. When we are planting trees
there is no reason why the planting
should not be done in manner that
will give us satisfaction now and those
that come after US il future years
Besides, even in our lifetime sym
metrical tree with sunshine all around
it is perhaps as beautiful as the tree
whose branches mingle with those OF
adjoining trees.

In every land. under almost any and

land naturally devoid Of water SUCH
gardens have an additional value, for
nowhere else will vegetation grow so

So, too. is there harmoniZlng and

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
It's Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.

It's a Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.
German scientists are greatly inter-
ested in discussion regarding new
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according to recent NorWe-
nan and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear sounds
accompanying the northern lights
These sounds are described by some
as similar to the cracking Of flames.
Accordingly German and Norwegian
scientists started out to Investigate
the phenomena, and one of them, OlaV
Aabakken, has spent long time at
the Hallde observatory in Finmarken'
Aabakken thinks that it is very un-
likely that any sound is to be heard
from the northern lights. He nam
tains that the human senses are not
to be relied on, especially regarding
the phenomena Of sight.
Aabakkep says that the idea OF
sound connected with the northern
lights may result from the fact that
these lights look like flames. and as
people are accustomed to associate the
cracking sound with flames the rath'
er uncritical observer Of the blazing
movements CT the aurora borealis is
apt to think that he really hears the
sound Of those fames.-NeW YORK
