How to Measure Trees Growth.

In the New York Botanical garden
Il new instrument has been attached
TO a certain maple tree, attracting the
attention Of passers-by. This is the
"dendrograph"-a dellcately adjusted
machine which will actually register
the rate of growth of tree--slow as
that Is A series of blocks Of wood are
attached firmly TO the tree, and above
these a metal collar" which. however,
is in contact with the tree ut only two
points. A needle projects from one OF
these, the other end of which traces
its movements upon a slowly revolving
paper drum" Once a week this
paper is replaced by fresh sheet and
the clockwork wound up; otherwise
the machine is self-regulating and
needs no attention. The growth or
expansion of the tree is shown by
the needle.
The instrument was devised 10y Dr.
l.. Il. MacDougal. formerly director OF
laboratories at the New York Botani-
cal garden, and now director of the
botanical research department of the
Carnegie institution of Washington.
The dcndrograph Is one of number
of instruments which are being used
this year to measure growth phenon-

A WORD TO THE DAUGHTERS
Attends Memorial Day
and Finds it a Solemn Occasion.
-Recommends A Little
Life and Gaiety in the
Program.

1 lie MeiiOlidl LAY ehelSiSeS as
held Tuesday in the Opera House
were success in every way and a
credit to the Daughters of the Con-
federacN who arranged the program.
To the casual on-looker one or two
changes could have been made. Rear
Admiral MCGOWAN who was to speak
to the old soldiers was seated at the
table covered with the United States
flag on which stood the vase of pop
pies, tribute to the World War vet
erans while at the table draped in
the Confederate flag and bearing the
vase of white flowers, sat the dap
per young Colonel of World War
fame. This, however, was a trivial
affair for both speakers looked we'll
wherever placed.
= The exercises of course, are a me-
mortal to those who have responded
to the last call and it is fitting that
their names should be brought before
the public, but after this why should
the speakers talk of the "thin grey
line" and "in a few years there will
be no Confederate Veterans" and no
"man is dead until he is forgotten"
This, as Capt. John Esten Cook
would say, is ''lugubrious." Why
talk about it? The four years of the
war are the "big years" of the vet
Grams lives and there is little MEM
ory now of the hardships endured
then. Mr.. T C Seal can laugh and en-
joy his recollections of life in prison
when "cold potato and a slice of
wasp nest bread" was given the
southerners as rations. Can anyone
tell a good story of Gen. MCGOWAN?
He usually rode grey horse and
when he rose in his stirrups to give
commands or to curse a Yankee, he
was conspicuous figure. He had the
remnant of his brigade in battle line
and was ready for the fight at APP
pomattox when news Of the surren-
der was conveyed to him when he
"sat down at the root of a large tree
overcome with grief and shedding
tears
Capt. Billy Shaw and Mr. Charlie
Bolts are still young in heart and
could forage for good things to eat
after the manner approved of in war
times.
Mr.. R M Haddon can remember
all the "stunts" the women in Due
West did to raise money for the SOL
diers and story Of this kind today
would be pleasant to him.
Mr.. J S Gilbert feels today that he :,
could foot it over the hills of Vir-
ginia as lively as he did fifty years
ago while COL "Pete" Armstrong
would enjoy again the "bumble- bee
song" with which John Eskew kept
life in the boys in the old days. Can
anybody tell the story of the Crater
in which the Yankee officer said "they
have whipped US like hell" which by
many is still considered the just des-
erts of the Yankees. Can anybody
remember the history of the enemy's
retreat at Charlottesville in which
they set fire to the woods and left
their dying and wounded comrades
to their fate. Has anybody of the
present day ever heard of the thous-
ands of whippoorwills whose noun
full music kept the soldiers awake the
night before the battle Of the Wilder
ness?
