An Old Vermont Library.

Just as Arlington was about to
carry off the palm of having the old.
est library in the state, organized in
1903, along comes Wilmington with
the statement that during a recent
cleaning of an attic in a law Office in
that place, book of records was
found, which showed that the vii
mington social library was organized
December 81, 1895, with constitu-
ton, bylaws and a list of subscrib
ers.. This book has been presented
to the present Wilmington institut-
ion, the Petite memorial library, to be
kept as relic Some OF the entries
in the book are very interesting.
Israel Lawton was fined Il cents for
dropping talow on book No SO, Tim

getting one drop of tallow on book
No. 16, Levi Packard was fined so
cents for tearing the binding on book

Eighty elm trees are being set out
in the streets of the village of New
bury through the generosity OF
Charles A. Bayley, a Boston man who
has previously made a number OF don
atoms to the community. Trees add
more to the beauty of village or
small city than almost anything else.
In the big centers of population shade
trees are not possible even in the res
idential sections but here in Vermont
such conditions do not exist and in
fact Burlington, our largest commun-
ity. is famous for its beautiful elms.
Tree-planting certainly offers an OPP
portunity for the philosophical citi-
zen who has the means and the in
clination TO do something for the
town in which he lives or in which he
has personal interest because of as
sociations in earlier life. Such
venture as has been attempted at
Newbury has an advantage over in
discriminate planting on the frontag-
es of individual property owners in
that II can be carried out systematic
ally and with due regard to the street
lines and grades. In many instances
trees which have taken on many
years growth have been removed be-
cause they were not planted so as to
conform to the grade of thorough
fares to the detriment of the ahut-
ting properties and the appearance
of the localities. BY all means plant
trees. even if the settings must be
made one at a time, but at the same
time exercise little forethought in
doing the work A thrifty elm will
provide shade for generations after
the planter has passed away and
little care in selecting the location
may permit it to complete its exist
ence before falling victim to the
axe.

New York. April 2S.-tSpecial)- Judge Gary, in very informal and incidental way, told one of the stockholders of the United States Steel corporation the other day that the company was about to ven tion and particularly that associated with coke.
 He did not go into details, but the sur mise which his remark has caused is that he referred to the production of benzol. Apparently the European war and the practical embargo which that has caused upon experts from Germany to the United States of dyestuffs, drugs and some other chemicals have turned the attention of the corporation's management--as 1t did some months earlier that of Edison as well as other manufacturers who are not DO widely known-to the utilization of cer- tain American resources which hitherto have been comparatively neglected Ger many, it is understood, has made use of coal tar chiefly in the production of dye stuffs and drugs. So, also, her chemists were reminded by their use of coal tar that 1t contained certain properties which might be utilized in the manufacture of perfumes. They speedily demonstrated that their surmise was accurate.
 In the United States coal tar has been chiefly employed for the manufacture of heavy oils and pitch. but we have left to Germany the utilization of about 10 per cent of the quality which was in coal tar that is available for drugs and dyestuffs.
 Edison knew long ago that 8 certain light oil called benzol might be yielded, under a proper treatment, by coal gas, and he assumed that benzol could be pro-
