Benefit OF SHADE TREES
Bounty Of Three Cents for Each
Rod Of Highway.

The Wisconsin law provides that
financial consideration may be given
by the state to people who plant and
cultivate trees by the roadside. Ev-
cry person along or through whose
lands highway passes may plant and
cultivate on one or both sides of the
road where he shall own land, trees
Of such varieties as commonly grow at
least q 40 feet high. These must be
set two rods or less apart and In a
row within eight feet Of the outer line
Of the highway.
When such trees reach II feet In
height the superintendent of highways
shall give the owner upon request a
certificate accepting the trees as pub
lie shade trees. Thereafter they be-
long to the public and are protected as
public property, but the title to them
or to the fruit they bear belongs to
the owner as long as he maintains
the trees and replaces such as die.
The owner shall receive an annual
bounty of three cents for each rod Of
highway along which such trees are
planted on one side and six cents If
planted on both sides, to be credited
on his highway taxes.

AFTER TWO YEARS
New York Police Refused to Be Baf-
fled by Mystery of Skeleton
Found in the River.

Identifying dead bodies is often ek-
tremely difficult. OF course finger
prints and photographs make identi-
fication fairly easy. and laundry marks
are great help; but very often the
police have much less to work upon.
The New York police recently found
male skeleton, fully clothed, In the
river. They succeeded in identifying
1t by means of gold bridge In the
upper Jaw. They traced the dentist
who had made the bridge, and he gave
them the chart Of the mouth, which
cOrresponded with the teeth Of the
skeleton. They then found q watch
man, who said that the man was
known as "Sam." In the course Of
conversation he mentioned that "Sam"
had an enlarged great toe joint on
his left foot, and very often wore
shoes with hole cut over the big
joint and patch sewed over the hole.
At the mOrtuary the shoe was found
Just as the Waterman had described
1T. Then the deceased's sister was
traced, and she identified her brother
by means of handkerchief found in
his pocket. 1t was afterward proved
that the man fell into the river when
he was drunk, and that he had been
In the water about two years. This
Is one OF the cleverest pieces Of iden-
trying work Of recent years.

0rasshoppers Fly to Sea.

The grasshopper would seem to have
nothing in common with the seagull,
yet grasshonpers have been picked up
in swarms a sea, 1900 miles from the
nearest land. The African grasshop-
per has been known to cross the Red
and Mediterranean seas In destructive
numbers, and even to fly to the Canary
Islands. For the most part these
grasshoppers are Of migratory spe-
cies (SchistOcera tartarica) noted for
Its great flights. The bodies are about
four inches long and are equipped
with large air sacks in addition to the
usual breathing tubes. These sacks
buoy up the insect so that it Is able
to stay in the air for days at time,
exerting practically no effort at all.
During flight its speed varies from
three to twenty miles an hour. When

tonal opportunities for service to our

EXAMPLE OF ATRUE SCOUT.

A scout in Asheville. N. c., has
made an unusual performance as a
government dispatch bearer" Fred
erick James Mech, thirteen years Of
age, turned in the names Of $50 citi-
zens to whom he had given copies of
the presidents Flag day address.
He gets up early and works late to
help his mother and sister. He goes
to school and is a good scholar. He is
always either present at the weekly
meetings Of the troop or presents a
good excuse. In addition to the spe.
cial government work, he placed per-
sonally more than $50 food conserva.
ton pledge cards in as many windows
of private residences. All this was
modestly done, for his manner is quiet
and very simple.

Plants Have Become Pests.

Popular plants, like certain animals
may develop into formidable pests
when introduced into new localities
AS striking example Of the spread
of a shrubby species, E. F. Andrews
brings forward the Japan hOneysuckle
which half century or so ago was
known in the southeastern United
States only as an attractive vine for
garden or piazza, but since then has
run wild until it has become the most
aggressive and indomitable enemy of
the native vegetation. Unlike the
common herbaceOus weeds, it Is not
confined to roadsides and waste places,
bpt invades the most secluded haunts
of wild flowers, strangling or smother
Ing every green thing, and it is not un-
usual to see whole acres Of haw thick
cts or other shrubby growth being ex-
terminated in It's deadly meshes. A
plant that had been reduced In its
thrOttling grasp to little more than a
leaf1ess skeleton was a remarkably
fine haw tree 16 inches in diameter,
with crown spreading 40 feet and a
height of about the same.

poleonic wars. After the smoke Of
Waterloo rolled back it revealed con-

Although England had suffered less
than the other nations involved in the
