A TREE FALLAcY.
The Idea That tho Branches Rise -
The Trunk Grows.

The Idea That tho Branches Rise -
The Trunk Grows.
1t Is commonly believed that as q
tree grows it elevates the lower branch
es and any other thing firmly attached
to 1t. AS a result. curious stories like
the following circulate:
A Canadian farmer built a barn on
willow posts set in the ground. The
next spring happened to be wet. and
he noticed that the horses had trouble
in stepping up to the floor on entering
Finally 1t dawned upon him that the
willow posts. which by this time had
put out branches and leaves, were
growing and elevating the whole barn.
| The process continued until the floor
was some nine or ten feet high.
Then he put In another floor at the
ground level.
At the time the story was told this
second floor was four feet from the
ground. and the farmer was hoping for
wet season so that the elevation
might continue until he could put In q
third floor
1t Is impossible to take this tale Sc
riously. but many folks believe stories
with as little foundation. Sometimes
| hog tight fence is attached to green
posts In a few years the owner no.
ices that good sized pigs can crawl
underneath 1t, and often he concludes
the green posts have grown and ele-
waited the whole fence.
This elevation, however. happens
also with seasoned posts and Is due
| to another cause Water expands when
| 1t freezes. and In the ground the ex
| pansion cannot be downward or side
wise. so 1t must be upward. Conse-
quently, every time the ground freezes
the posts are pushed upward frac-
ton of an inch. When thawing occurs
| the weight OF the fence Is not sufti-
| Client to push them back.
Thus every freeze means slight eie-
| vation. and In the course of three or
| hog tight.
| In the same way wheat is lifted out
| of the ground In the early spring when
the ground freezes for several nights
| in succession and thaws in the day
! time
| Farmers and city dwellers alike be-
| iieve that growing tree elevates its
| lower branches: otherwise, they say,
how Is 1t that three foot cherry tree
| In few years has not branch with
| In four feet OF the ground? IL eleva-
ton really occurred. however, 1t is diff
ficult to see how we could ever have
low headed tree, and that 1t actually
does not occur is shown by careful OBJ
servation spread over number OF
years. The lower branches gradually
die as they are shaded by the upper
ones and In the course of time drop
OF. This natural pruning can be seen
In all Its stages at the same time in
any fairly dense forest. Here 1t LIS
easily seen that only branches In the
| light continue to thrive and live.
| No branch Is elevated to any extent
after 1t Ia year old.-Farm and Fire

In recent address before the first

Sprague, former general apprentice SUI
pervisor of the American Locomotive
company, said In part:
1.-The problem of industrial unrest
has forced itself upon the attention OF
the nation. The rumblings OF revolu-
tion are evidenced in the strife in Colo
rado, Paterson, Lawrence and other In
dngtrial centers.
"All this grows out Of the wrong EN-
phasis in industrial relations upon ma

out by these factors.
''The grim lines of this tragedy OF

Small Anvil.

The anvil that rings to the sturdy
blacksmith's sledge may weigh 200. 300
or 400 pounds. but there are anvils
whose weight is counted In ounces.
These are used by jewelers.. silver
smiths and various other workers.
Counting shapes, sizes, styles of finish.
and so on, these little anvils are made
In scores of varieties, ranging In weight
from fifteen ounces up to number OF
pounds each. All the little anvils are
Of the finest steel. They are all trinity

RUNNING A BLOCKADE.
Rules That Usually Govern This Ex-
citing Wartime Sea Game.

citing Wartime Sea Game.
Although their operations are drastic
and unpleasant, blockades and block
ade runners have always been among
the most picturesque and dramatic as
poets OF a great war.
Biockades can be applied either to an
enemy's town or fortress or to a port
or series OF ports on an enemy's coast.
1t has, In naval sense, two effects.
1t brings pressure to bear on an enemy
within their own gates and aims at
preventing the import or export OF pro-
visions, articles Of trade, ammunition
or re-enforcements. 1t also makes 1t
unlawful for neutrals to trade with
those particular ports.
As consequence. certain precau-
tions are usually observed. 1t is, for
instance, held that for valid blockade
not only should state OF war exist,
but that the blockading party should
maintain force sufficient to prevent
access to the blockaded port or, at all
events, powerful enough to render the
passage OF relief ship extremely haz-
ardous. Further, 1t Is essential that
neutral nations should have proper no
tice of the existence of the blockade
either by official notice or by warning
given to neutral vessels a their ar
rival outside the prohiI:s.->A zone
Nations differ as to askat constitutes
An effective blockade. All countries,
however, agree that blockading force
may seize any vessel with its cargo
trying to trade with a blockaded port
and can send 1t home for condemna-
ton. Even IL vessel succeeds In
breaking through blockade it can be
pursued and, IL possible, captured.
A vessel may. for the sake of human
ity-suppose her crew is starving or
she is In danger of sinking-be allowed
to enter blockaded port. Mail steam
ers also IL they do not carry contra
band, are permitted to go In and out

BAKERS MAKE NOVEL MOVE.
Union Has Provided Portable Bakeshop
to Combat Nonunion Bread

10 Oompat Nonunlon pfead.
A portable bakeshop to be used in
future contests with employers has
been arranged for by the general exec
utiye board Of the Bakery and Confec-

acting under orders Of the convention,
held In Milwaukee last September.
The bakeshop will be held in readi-

Will enable these unionists to turn out
5000 loaves OF union made bread in
eight hours, or $1,000 loaves in three

A WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
II Was Built by Money Raised by q
Public Lottery.


One Of the greatest American monu-
ments to the memory of George Wash
fngton was built by lottery. The lot
terry plan for raising money, though
now under the ban of public opinion
and generally considered a reprehensi-
BILE practice. was looked upon as legiti.
mate and respectable by the most
reputable class of citizens a century
ago.
That monument which was raised to
the memory Of George Washington by
the sale of lottery tickets and the offer
OF dazzling prizes is the tall column
which dominates very exclusive and
aristocratic part of Baltimore and
which In fair weather may be seen
from a considerable distance. Besides
being one of the show places Of Baltt
more, it is one Of the imposing monu-
ments OF the United States The view
from the balcony, which is built close
to the top OF the shaft, and just below,
where stands figure Of Washington,
Is far sweeping. especially hayward.
The cornerstone of the monument
was laid with elaborate ceremonies
July 4. 1915, and its crowning fea-
ture, the statue of Washington, was
set In place In 1929. The Washington
monument lottery was authorized by
the Maryland legislature Jan. 10, 1910.
That act was entitled AN act respect
ing a memorial or statue to the mem
ory of Washington" and under its pro
visions the applicants were required to
give bond for tie proper conduct of
the lottery and were required to finish
up the affairs OF the lottery in nve
years time, and a space OF ground in
Baltimore was allotted for the pro-
posed Washington Star.
