Green is another favOrite color this

In making calculations on the num-
Der of years ahead of you it is very
necessary. to take your occupation into
consideration. Fishermen have the
healthiest jobs on record. Putting the
average mortality at 100. the fisher
mans percentage is 73. Deep sea fish
ermen have a higher rate. due TO more
accidents. jewelers. have the very low
mortality of 76. Among the more gen.

men are the longest lived of all peO-
Pile. Occupations concerned with the
handling of liquor have very high
death rate. PrOprietors and superin-
tendentS of hotels with bars who do
not attend the bar have a rate of l35.
while the ate for men of the same
class who attend the bar is 49, When
the men are % per cent or more over
weight the rate in the first class rises
from 135 TO III. in the second class
from 17S TO 237. The mortality rate
of walters in hotels and other places
where liquor is served is Ut. Many
insurance companies have sharp limi-
tatons in insuring these men, other
wise the rate would be much higher.

Trees of Mysterious origin.

In the right transept of the parish
church of Kiss. Herefordshire, Eng
land. are two sturdy young eims. which
rise from the ground at the base of the
wall. says London Tit-Bits. The story
goes that they spring from the grave
of the Man of Ross" local celebrity
of the eighteenth century who did
much to beautify the town and neigh
bOrhood with trees and shrubs. The
appearance of trees on his grave was
regarded as so appropriate that they
were allowed to grow. 1t is more
likely, however, that they were shoots
from an elm root outside, which found
their way in by an interstice in the ma
sonry The trees tiourished for many
years in their unusual situation until
some building operations interfered
with them. AT present they are lear
less. though one is said to be showing
new signs of life.

FOREST LONG UNDER WATER
Submerged Petrified Trees That Mus
Be Centuries Old Removed as
Menace to Navigation.

When the government ship canal
that connects Puget sound with Lake
washington was opened, the waters of
the lake were lowered IL feet. While
Wlre-dragging the lake, says con-
trlDutor, the United States coast and
geodetic survey discovered a subma-
rine forest. The tops of the sub
merged trees were so close to the sur
lace that they were menace TO nav
lgatlon. Underwater, logging opera
tons to clear the lake were there
fore started.
II is thought that the forest is pre-
historic. remnant of one that grew
| in the Lake Washington area in the
days when it was dry land; or thai
great landslides in remote ages car
ried the trees into the lake.
The trees were without branches
and stood vertical, or nearly so; they
were semipetrifed. The longest trunk
removed was 121 feet 6 inches The
top. 10 inches thick rose to within 4
feet of the surface of the lake. The
butt was feet 6 inches in diameter.
and the roots. firmly embedded in the
bottom of the lake. had 20-foot
spread. 1t was found 1900 feet from
the shore
Off the south end of Mercer island
in Lake Washington, nearly hundred
trees were destroyed. The cleanup
gave a count of more than a hundred
trunks during the first three months
OF 1920, off Manitou point. The larg-
est trunk in that area stood in LII feet
tree was Ill feet long. with a 5-inch
top and 3-foot butt.
Wherever possible, the trees were
pulled out by the roots Fastenings
were made to the trunks by dragging
the blight of cable through the water
at the required depth. When the
blight touched the trunk, one end of
the cable was passed through an eye
at the other end and the loop formed
was run down to the trees. When the
trees were hauled up, they were cut
into 4-foot sections and thrown back
into the lake. Since they were water
logged. they Immediately sank.
Sometimes a trunk was caught that
could not be uprooted. Such trees
were blasted off at the top until YES
sells could pass safely ai1uVe them.
An idea of the extent of the submerged
forest and the difficulty of removing
the towering ancient trees may be de-
termined by the time-three years and
six months-that ii has taken the en-
cheering corps, working steadily, to
make the lake safe for navigation
