JAPANESE TABLE TREE

There are some curious old trees in
Japan that have just the opposite
qualities to those which are found in
the United States. Out in our great
forest country, when a tree has
reached the dignity of 100 years of I'M
disputed residence in any one Ncom-
munity, 1t rears its proud old head
and stands as landmark and lead
ing citizen of the forest.
Japan supplies some very strange
specimens that live to se 100 years of
age without ever getting off an ordi-
nary table. They are stunted. gnarled
little gnomes of trees, made to dwell
all their lives in the prison of bowl,
where water is placed to give tiny
landscape effect and miniature houses
are built under the shade of the
stunted, miserable little semblance of
forest giant.
In the picture one sees how the JAP
anese use the dwarfed trees for home
decorative effect. As all things are
really relative, the tree preserves its
dignity by being as much larger than
the miniature house than real tree
would loom above a sure-enough dwell
ing.
But it is a dwarf, nevertheless, and
the idea can be used for home or gar.
| den decoration when one finds 6
stunted tree that, like Peter Pan
never will grow up.

about $4,000 square miles. Over prac-
ticaIly all Of this nearly level expanse
one geologic formation, the Kaibab
limestone, is surface rock. Along the
eastern border of the district a sharp
downward bend, known as a mono
cline carries the beds to lower level,
where they resume their nearly hori-
zontal attitude and continue eastward
beneath the higher strata of the pla-
teau. The upward edges of these
higher faces are known as Echo
cliffs.
On the north the district is walled
in by another line of cliffs and ter
races, running east and west along the
southern border of Utah. These have
been carved by erosion out of the high
er strata of the plateau and rise in
huge steps northward to elevations of
II 900 feet or more. The southern bOr-
der of this district is marked by an
abrupt descent to lower country
along series of cliffs carved from the
plateau strata.
The northern portion of the Grand
Canyon district is divided into FIVE
minor platforms or plateau blocks by
great lines of fracture or deXure,
which trend north and south and are
roughly paralleled.
Long Series of Canyons.
The Colorado river crosses the pla-
teau province from northeast to south

yons whose total length exceeds 800
miles. All these canyons are clear
cut, deep gashes in nearly level plat
forms and their step-like walls de-
scend abruptly by alterations Of bold
cliffs and narrow lodges. The river
at the bottom carries the drainage
from the whole western front of the
Rocky mountains in Colorado and
southwestern Wyoming. Because of
the general impassability and inhospi-
table character of the bordering des-
erts. these canyons form a barrier to

SOMETHING ABOUT DAHLIAS
BY G. 7. oEoFFRY.


If you want dahlia roots for next
year, plant them in small pots and let
them remain all summer Keep them
over winter like old roots; and start
them again in the spring. 1 do not say
this is absolute, but it is one of the
best ways 1 know to raise dahlias sue
cessfully.
1t is the claim of dahlia growers
that in dividing the roots almost all
the varieties will degenerate. This is
the reason we have so few good flow
ers.
A good dahlia should bloom from
July until frost; and if it does not it
is not worth keeping. There are
dahlias that will.
Dahlias can be grown from seeds.
They grow stronger than from cut
tings and roots, but it is difficult to
find good seeds.
Many believe that cutting will not
flower and make roots and keep over
winter, but that is not true That is
the way they are raised all over the
continent.
The mode of planting has much to
do with the final results Of the beauty
of dahlias.

the Grand canyon remains the first

five miles distant in a straight line,

feet beneath the observer, whose

magnitudes. Here some great battles

Russian Line to Australia.

American firms who contemplate an
extension of enterprise in this direc-
ton may be advised to consider the
proposed action of the Russian govern
ment to establish a new line of ships
running between Melbourne and Sgd
eny and Vladivostok. The Russian
authorities have suggested that in the
event of such a company being formed,
with half Russian and half Australian
capital, they would purchase the requi-
site ships, subsidize the company and
take repayment in small sums over a
long period. These are the proposals
set forth by special trade envoy who
visited the country under direction
from the Russian chamber of export.

FALL WORK INTERESTING
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEc

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN
In the CHEEKY October days-the
days of brown ale and invigoratinS at
mOsphere-the garden comes fully
into its own. There is not only the
fascination of working among the
plants and flowers, but there is pre-
paration for the spring. If the au-
tumn is neglected there will be no re-
alization of any spring hopes.
Planning and foresight are essential to
garden success, and the man who had
the most pleasure in his October work
will reap the greatest reward when
the springtime comes. Perennials
must be transplanted. Good, safe
places are to be found for them, with
n good covering of leaves to keep away
the chill Of cold days.
Transplantlng is real work. A rainy
day helps tighten the task because
there is no need for watering or shad-
Ing the plants. A trowelful of manure
under each plant will lead the neigh
bOrs next spring to wonder why your
roxgloves send up spires five feet high
Instead of mere three feet that less
carefully handled plants attain.
Don't let the perennials crowd each
other. Where the clumps have grown
20 closely as to crowd, cut them in di-
visions with a sharp spade and reset
them in good, rich soil.
In October the perennials will be
ripening their seed, which process they
begin in September. The seed can be
saved in separate colors If the flower
stalks were marked while they were
In bloom. It is worth the while to
save the seed, even though it has to
be mixed. The mixed seed can be
Bown in out-of-the-way places. Holly
hooks, foxgloves, poppies, Canterbury
Bells, Sweet William and Coreopsis
will produce large envelopes Of seed.

ply of dead leaves has to be laid in
when leaves begin to fall. They are

human travel more effective than the
Rocky mountains. The Colorado river
is unbridged for 700 miles, a distance
about equal to the distance between
New York and Chicago.
Home of Old Cliff DweIIers.
Evidences of former human occupa-
ton are found everywhere in the
Grand Canyon region, but as few Of
these ruins are well preserved there is
pOthing especially spectacular about
them, save as of historic import. Here
at one time abounded crude stone
houses. Some of these ruins are
perched high under overhanging lodges
which still show the blackening of the
smoke from their fires; others lie
among huge blocks of debris that have
fallen from the cliffs; still others
stand in the open, away from any ma
tural shelter. The only wellpre-
served shelter are the old storehouses,
built high up among the crevices in
the canyon walls.

cheerfuIness and Efficiency.

Efficiency is the most needed attri-
butte of anything designed to perform
duty in this world. 1t is efficiency
that makes for business success. 1t
is efficiency that makes in large meas
ure for domestic happiness. 1t is eff
f1ciency that brings preferment in Of
flee or in factory.
But the man or the business that
forms the conclusion that cheerful
ness and efficiency are incompatible
has yet much to learn.
There is no other thing that begets
efficiency in business as cheerfulness
does. The atmosphere that it brings
into Office or store makes for work of
the kind that gets results.
