Chicago is soon to have, on the out
skirts of the city, the most beautiful
and extensive botanical gardens, or
arboretum, in the world. The Cook
County board of forest preserve COM
missioners decided yesterday to util-
ize a part of the forest preserve for
this purpose. 1t is likely that 1000
of the 1000 acres of the Palos pre-
serve district, southwest OF this city,
will be chosen as the site.
Already garden spot, with its
deep wooded ravines, it's high bluffs
overlooking the Desplaines River Val
lev, and it's great stretches of green
prairie, the Palos district offers
nucleus, in the opinion of the board,
from which may be made a scenic
marvel where the scientist may revel
in botanical wonders while the layman
revels in it's beauty.
1 The site, recommended by the sub
committee, of which Prof. Henry
Cowles of the University of Chicago,
Prof. Chas. B. Atwell of Northwestern
/ University are members, is already 80
per cent complete, scenically. AS trees,
shrubs, and flowers from other parts
| of the world are added, they will be
planted in accord with a comprehen-
sive scheme of landscape garden
Eventually, greenhouses will be built
to grow verdure which otherwise could
not exist in this climate. The plans OF
the commission also calls for the Ill
innate erection of a museum and a
library.
Charles F. Millspaugh, director of
the Field museum, who has visited
all but two of the arboretums in the
world after seeing the PalOs site de-
clared that Chicago has an oportur
such as no other city has in having
such great area of land near it's
borders suitable to an arboretum

mo one knows how man first learn
ed to keep fire alive and how ages
later he learned to make a fire. says
John Mills in '"The Realities of Mod
ern Science" Many students of the
relics of man in EARLIER geologic ages
think that he first saw fire in the dry
seasons when lightning started it. At
the remains of fire given by light
ming from the heavens he may have
cooked meats and noticed that the
fire f1ared up under the breeze. AS
yet no way was known of kindling q
fire. To-day we little realize the sit
uation of mankind when its scienti-
fic knowledge was only sufficient to
maintain a fire and not to start one.
1t is no wonder that religious rites
grew up about the tribal fire and that
special caretakers were dedicated to
it."
