Save Brooklyn's Elm Trees.

1t is to be hoped the labors of Park Commits
sioner Ingersoll of Brooklyn with the Public Ser
vice Commission will result in saving the elms
along the Eastern Parkway. There are about
eight hundred of these trees, fine ones which are
endangered by the plans for constructing the sub
way under Eastern Parkway. Mr.. IngersOll has
consulted prominent tree experts and believes that
the trees could be saved by some changes in the
plan of work, particularly by lowering the bore of
the subway so its roof would come six feet under
the surface instead of four.
If it is possible to make these changes it should
be done This city is not so rich in trees that it
can afford to spare any especially fine, well grown
elms The subway is a matter Of convenience
and necessity and must be built. But the aesthetic
side of life deserves consideration by the authori-
ties as we'll as the material To kill these trees
in subway building, short Of absolute necessity,
would be a sad mistake.

Telling Fruits from Vegetables.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have often heard il cOntended
that the distinguishing test between
fruit and a vegetable is applied BY
considering whether il grows in The
ground or above IL. Upon analysis this
method Of differentiation seems 10 have
considerable merit, and | have often
wondered whether IL was generally rec
ognized. BY applying this test such a
horticultural puzzle as the tomato IS
found in the fruit class, where Il I'M
doubtedly belongs. In like manner
ether natural hybrids are quickly
placed in the proper general group, and
the method seems to leave very little
to be desired. Z. w. HALL.

RAILROAD TAXES.

Most people and particularly, per
haps, land owners are disposed to
think that they pay more than their
just share of taxation. 1t undoubtedly
will be refreshing to know that in
Barnes County the railroads pay al.
most one-sixth of the total taxes paid
into the county treasury, and these fig.
ures do not include the electric line.
The Northern Pacific paid for 1914
taxes the large sum Of $37,s96.35 and
the 500 paid in $1S,646. .66, making a
total of $56,543.01 or about one-sixtn
of the taxes Of the county. Treasurer
Thos. A. Collins is greatly pleased
with the way the taxes are being paid
in and predicts that the tax sales for
next year will be even smaller than
last which indicates a healthy finan.
cial condition.

morning for home after succeeding in

story of the irate husband that his
wife, who is his second venture in the
matrimonial line, left him and her
three children last May and her
whereabouts was unknown to him un-
til recently, although he had been
hunting diligently for her. AS soon as
through an accident he had located
her here he came here and caused their
arrest. Legree the man in the case
was arrested, given a hearing and
bound over to district court.
1t is claimed that Legree and the
woman have been living together as
man and wife for some time and that
the woman is soon to become moth
er, as a result. The husband express
ed willingness to take the erring
woman home until he learned of her
condition and then refused to have
anything further to do with her.
