His High Admiration for World

Chopin was born in Poland of
French parents, but received part of
his education in Germany. The in
f1uence of the three nationalities af-
feet his personality to an extent that
is very remarkable. He has, in short,
appropriated the best characteristics
of each; Poland has bequeathed to
him chivalrous tendencies, her histor-

Rural Rat Clubs.

In any rural community badly in
tested with rats, it is good plan for
farmers to form rat clubs and offer
prizes for destroying the rodents. The
younger members of the community as
well as adults should be allowed to
compete and the prizes should be
awarded periodically, as once a month.
A first, second and third prize are
suggested for those who bring in the
greatest number of rat tails. Specific
rules governing the contests should be
made at the start, and instruction as
to proper methods of trapping or other
wise killing rats should be part of
the program for each meeting of the
club. Prizes may be provided by priv
ate donation or even by assessment of
members. The plan gives better salts
faction than a system Of straight re-
wards, because 1t arouses more en-
thusiasm and costs less.-D. Lantz IN

TARRED ROADS AFFECT TREES
Investigation Has Shown conelusiVeiy
Their Disastrous Results on
Neiahborina Vegetation.

The injurious effects Of tarred roads
upon neighboring vegetation have been
described in numerous articles ema-
mating from both American and Euro
pean sources. One of the latest inves-
LEGATIONS of this subject has been made
at Milan by U. Bril-. The plants most
susceptible to damage of this Sort
says Signor Bril-, are species OF morse
chestnut (Aescrulus Hippocastanum
and Aecarnea), the leaves OF which,
at the beginning of summer, turn rusty
at the edge and curl up slightly, while
their surface is covered with numer-
Gus small spots, which, at first, are
yellow and look as if covered with
thin layer of shining varnish. The lear
then curls up more and more, drles'
and is easily blown away. other
plants very sensitive to the effects or
tar are Forsythia viridissima, Fagus
sylvatica, Lagerstraemia indica, Mag
nolia grandiflora, Deutzia and Cornus.
The damage is caused almost entirely
by the very fine dust raised by the
passage of mOtorcars. This dust set
ties slowly and is most abundant on
low plants and the lower branches OF
trees. Once deposited, the small par
ticles of tar give off injurious vapors
when strongly heated by the sun. Plant
and parts of plants not directly reach
ed by the sun never show this dan
age, while plants exposed to the sun
are injured in proportion to the in
tensity and duration of sunshine. The
best remedy is to keep down the dust
by the regular and abundant watering
of the roads.-Scientific American.
