This Is scarcely necessary. We shall

BEACH PLUMS AND SASSA-
FRAS.
Why Are They Not Cultivated and

To THE EDITOR or THE SCN-Sir: There
seems to he a belief. probably derived
from the name. that the beach plum is
so called because the sea beaches appear
to be its favored habitat. As "A matter
of fact the shrub viii grow in any soil,
and the better II is the more thrifty the
growth, 1t hourishes on all the other

centre of Long Island. far from the sea,
and In fact where almost al other vege-
tation refuses To grow. II is enabled to
do this because its tough roots extend
deep into the earth aud thus obtain
nourishment.
The reason why the beach plum does
not occur generally ON better soil is that
it does not seem to he able to compete
with the forest trees which monupolize
the favored sections and which over

restore the locomotive to the track.
Then he shook his head. struck his
hands smartly together to dislodge the
dust that was on them and stepped
back into the ring Of silent watchers.
Another man came forward. He
too braced himself and laid his hands
on the great iron horse and tried by
sheer muscular exertion to restore II
