OF Edith Cavell says:
The very spirit Of Zabern. but of

Is not in Europe outside of Germany

The Tree Experts.

If 1t is really true that 50 per cent of
the shade trees in Lowell are hopeless
and that an appropriation of $4,000 is
necessary to put the other so per cent. in
condition, we might as we'll sigh for a
glory that Is departing and look forward
to the day when tired and we'll nigh
treeiess city will swelter beneath the
summer sun. The loss of half our trees
would leave us poor indeed and at pres
emit there is as much likelihood of an
appropriation of $4,000 for tree repairs as
there is of a new bridge at Pawtucket-
Vile this fall.
The fell verdict summarized in the FORE
going was delivered by some tree experts
from Ohio who came to this city a few
days ago to fix up some tree wounds on
private property. They looked over the
trees along our streets, parks and roads
and declared that between modern paw
ing and general neglect the days of shade
are to be sadly shortened. Few realize
with what rapidity the present supply is
decreasing, but those who keep track Of
trees cut down and never replaced know
that there is something more than a SUI
perficial warning in the ultimatum of
the visiting experts. Let us hope that
conditions are not nearly so bad as the
experts intimate on a cursory survey
Lowell is not the only offender in this
respect. and it will not be the only
mourner for lost trees. The modern paw
ing that shuts of air and nourishment
from the roots Of the trees, pests, neg
lected flaws and kindred other causes
threaten the remainder. Meanwhile It is
notable that while cities such as ours
make no great effort to plant trees where
they have decayed or have been removed
cities like New York and Chicago con-
struct new streets Of such type that
trees may be grown in cool colonades. y.
We have still some nne elms, NAPLES

ENGLAND SWEPT BY A WAVE OF

and her murderers."
The Daily Telegraph says:

man."
Exercises in Memory
The story of the execution of Edith
Cavell as told in the correspondents
sent by the American minister al
Brussels to the American ambassador
at London, it is predicted, will send
wave of indignation throughout the
country.
In Trafalgar square yesterday all
heads were barred to the memory of Miss
Cavell. One speaker. holding wreath
in his hand to be placed on the plinth
of the Nelson column to her memory ex-
claimed:
.'who will avenge the murder OF this
splendid English woman?"
In response to this appeal many ne"
recruits came forward.
The London papers in their editorials
while paying tribute to the fine efforts
of American diplomatic representatives
in her behalf, characterize her execu'
ton as the most damnable crime OF
the war"

How to Pack Apples.

The standard apple barrel is &c
inches between heads. diameter of
head 17M inches, circumference at
bulge 81 in. 1t holds three bushels.
All the barrels should be carefully
faced" The quality Of the apples in
the face" should not mislead the
the contents Of the package.
Corrugated circular card board is
often used against the top and bot
tom Of the barrel to prevent bruising
the fruit. These can be purchased at
from one to two cents apiece, accord
ing to quantity, and are good in
vestment.
The face of the barrel is made
s'y placing series of circles of apples
in the bottom of the empty barrel.
The bottom Of the barrel forms the
top when the package is headed.
When the first circle around the
outside is completed, the next circle
is placed. This circle being smaller,
it will contain several apples les;
than the larger circle. The face" is
completed by finishing in the same
manner.
The face should be firm when finu
ished. with each apple setting firmly
against the other. The apples in the
face are placed with the stem end
next the barrel head.
The remainder of the barrel is
quickly filled by a half bushel basket.
Rack" the barrel after each basket
is emptied. so that it may be COM
pactly filled.
The barrel should be filled in this
manner until within a few inches Of
the top. The tall or crown layer
is then placed. It is placed with the
stems upward and should project
about III inches above the ends Of the
slaves. The centre should be little
higher.
A corrugated paper cap is now put
on next the barrel head. A barrel
press is used in forcing the head
down. The top hoop is removed and
the second hoop slightly raised.
Great care must be used in getting
the pack firm. Apples shrink. and II
the barrel is not well tracked" while
being filled, It will become slack,
causing the fruit to bruise.
Apples for storage should be pack
ed and placed in cold storage as soon
as possible after picking for best re-
sults.--Farm Life.

Aluminium the Most Abundant Metal.


Aluminium is the most abundant of all
the metals. In the form of its oxide
alumina. it constitutes about Is per cent
of the earth's crust, according to the
United States Geological Survey Yet
until recent years it was curiosity;
there were only a few hundred or few
thousand pounds in existence and its
value was s14 or SIS pound. Within a
generation it has become very useful,
now selling at about % cents pound
The entry of aluminium into the field OF
useful metals came with the discovery
that it could be extracted from the min
eral bauxite, a claylike substance. This
mineral itself is by no means plentiful,
but known deposits are sufficient to
make aluminium an important COMPETE
tor of certain metals, such as copper and
tin, in a good many lines of work.
Already aluminium has displaced steel
in certain classes of construction where
strength is required in combination with
extreme lightness, such as in the manu-
facture of flying machines. An alloy
known as duralumin, containing about
95 per cent. of aluminium, is claimed to
have qualities as good as those of good
Bessemer steel. although it is only one
third as heavy. This alloy possesses
great hardness when annealed, and it's
melting point is above 1902 r. The great
future of aluminium lies in the perfection
of a process whereby it can be CONNER
cially extracted from the unlimited de-
posits of alumina-rich clays and rocks.
which exist in all parts of the world.
The day which shall yield really cheap
aluminium holds out boundless posi-
bilities. The chemist or investigator who
can devise the needed process Of extrac-
ton will not be forgotten by succeeding
generations.

was cured and asked to be returned to
the front. He was to be examined,
and concealed the inonocle, thinking
he might be charged with myopia in
one eye. When the chief surgeon ex-
amined him, after looking well over
his face, he said sharply, WHISTLE"
The soldier whistled like a black
bird.
This is curious" said the surgeon,
and, calling a young assistant, he said
again to the soldier. "Whistle!" He
whistled again. That is curious"
said the young assistant.
Another surgeon entered and the
patient was called upon for the third
time to whistle.
"Ah," said this surgeon. this is
curious!"
But" expostulated the soldier. Il
don't see why there is so much Of
this. I'm not to serve as a locomo-
tive"
TT is all right" said the chief sur
,geon. You may return to the 'front.'"
When the soldier arrived at his regi-
ment he gave to the regimental sur
geon the note that had been given him
by the examiner. This surgeon said
in his turn: win you please whistler"
He whistled. This Is curious" said
the surgeon.
