LET EVERY CHILD OWN TREE
Many Reasons Why Its Possession
Exerts 6enefcent influence on
Period Of Adolescence.

Every child should own tree. A
tree Is symbol Of life. It lives, 1t
stands for everything that Is noble. 1t
Is rooted in the soil and stretches IT.
self toward heaven. 1t stands for pa
thence, humility, persistence, beauty,
courage and God. The child should
plant the tree himself and thereafter
watch 1t grow year by year. He should
put his hands on its rough bark and
say: "This is my tree. will stand by
1t, and live up to It,"
It Is curious how blind we sometimes
are to certain ideals because we can
not see and handle them. We need
something to connect us with the In
visible but none the less potent and
formative world of aspiration and in
SEPARATION. What could be better than
tree?
There Is something about the silent
beauty of tree that casts over us a
spell OF calmness and .avincibility.
The storms Of life may sway and break
our branches, the grim and melancholy
autumn may strip us Of our brilliance,
but the spring will come once more
and clOthc us in a new glory. So We
go on fulfilling the majesty Of the law.
II your child owns tree, the men,
DRY of Its beneficent influence will
cling to him through life.-Country

May Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable
His process, If successful, represents
the solution of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been trnnsmissible
by telegraph by the use of selenlum, a
metal whose electrical resistance va

cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because Of the extreme feeble
ness of the electric current that must
pass through thousands of miles of
wire without a relay. The new process
Is said to make use of the selenium
principle and an elaborate system Of
relays at each end.
