eTT HE administration Of oxygen is often
the only means of keeping a person
alive when in the critical stages Of
pneumonia and other diseases and when sud
den collapse occurs during a surgical opera
ton. But the difficulty has always been that
frequently when oxygen is most needed the
patients breathing is so weak that it is inn
possible to give It through the mouth or nose.
Now this difficulty is overcome by the dis.
covery that oxygen can be given successfully

x TOT all men are brave and eager
mi to fight for existence In
. y times past many human tribes
have retreated to deserts or to other
inhospitable regions rather than fight
to hold better lands. And the same
rule, It has Just been discovered,
holds with forest trees. Some trees
are 90 ayerse to competition that
they withdraw to tracts where no
competition can follow.
~ The stately white pine is one of
these vegetable towards. This tree
was found in the original forests Of
america occupying sandy tracts,
rocky hills and uninviting situations.
In it's long struggle with competitors
{ Il lost the rich valleys and fertile
hills and retreated TO situations
where pursuit and competition would
be less vigorous. a
b Some people suppose that the white
pine occupies sand, swamp and rocks
because It likes those conditions best
The correctness Of that opinion is
doubtful, according to a writer i'm the
Hardwood Record Probably no tree
slikes'' poor soil, though some are
, seldom found elsewhere.
Cypress is a vigorous tree, OF
gigantic bulk and long life, but It
fed TO the Southern swamps while
the white pine was taking refuge on
sandy tracts and rocky ridges in the
North; and 1t fed from the same
enemy-other trees which demanded
the best lands. tt.

ome TREES ARE BRAVE and Others Are COWARD,

The Southern pines resist competi-
ton feebly. The iOng-leaf pine, which
gticks to the sandy land more closely
than some Of the others, Is poor
fighter for space. 1t is the opinion Of
some good botanists that If left to It's
own resources, with no human help,
II could not hold its present ground
many hundred years Grass would
choke the seedlings. and broad-leaf
trees would finally take possession.
It is believed that before the white
mans coming 1t was the Indians
yearly fire that enabled the long-leaf
pine to hold its ground. The fires
burned the grass and the broad-leaf
seedlings, but the pines managed to
survive the screenings sufficiently to
perpetuate themselves, though, the
stands were usually quite thin.
