Sore L.oaves Live LONG.

Evergreen trees do not retain their
leaves forever. but are SO called be.
cause the new leaves appear before
the old ones are shed. Miss Winnie A.
Pease has been studying the many
evergreens Of the Pacific Northwest
to ascertain how long the several spe
cies retain their leaves. She finds Il
wide variety. the shortest being the
California buckthorn. which sheds
some Of Its leaves in autumn and re-
tains the others only until those of the
coming season are mature. The long.
est is the short leaved yew. which re-
tains Its leaves for from FIVE to twelve
years, some of them pcrsisting for as
long as twenty-three years. Sapllngs
lose their leaves more quickly than
mature trees and trees In the open
more quickly than those In shady
places.

Tomatoes For Seed.

Many persons save the first tomato
that ripens for seed, and they think
they are doing the right thing. The
very earliest tomatoes to ripcn are not
as sweet and solil as those lipening
from n week to two weeks later The
best plan In saving the tomato for seed
Is to select the more uniform, medium
size, which ripcn evenly and quickly Il
little while after the plant has been
producing ripe fruit. Seeds saved from
tomatoes grown on moderately thin soil
will retain the good qualities better
than those saved from plants which
were forced by very rich soil.-Phlla.

Few Roads Ia China.

That Industrial development must
stagnate so long as transport facilities
are inadequate needs no emphasis, and
when 1t is borne In mind that there Is
not road worthy of the name, SO much
as 100 miles long throughout China, It
becomes evident that the country Is
very severely handicapped. Certainly
there are the rivers and canals, which
interscct the land In every direction,
but locomotion on them Is naturally
slow and uncertain. Railways are few
aud fur between and serve only to con-
meet few of the larger centers.-Com.
