Declares Trees Are
Smaller In Afternoon
Than In The Morning.

Philadelphia, April 22.-SpeakinsS
on the growth Of trees before the.
American Philosophical society here,
today. D. r. MacDougal of the Ger
negie Institute of Washington Desert
Laboratory. Tucson, Ariz., said that
some species behave like a heavy hose
feeding from a pressure system to a.
fire engine. Crudely expressed, he,
said. when the engine tends to takes
water faster than supplied the hose
tends to collapse; when the engine
slacks it's action, the hose swells.
Daily equalizing variations by,
which tree may be actually small
er in mid afternoon than at sunrise
are greatest in ash, pine, spruce, fir,
more, beech and oak trees" Mr.. Mac
Dougal said. Accurate measure
ment of the changes in trunks inter
nal to the growing layer show that
these variations are directly connect
ed with the mechanism of the ascent
of sap and are explainable' upon the
assumption of rigid water column
in a trunk composed of wood-cells
and vessels capable Of some shrink
age and expansion.
Extended measurements Of the
growth of many trees of number Of
species have been made by the use
of the newly designed dendrograph.
which makes a continuous record Of
changes of diameter and the recently
perfected dendrometer which regis
! ters total change in circumference"
DR.. MacDougal explained.
1T is found that the period during
! which growth takes place even in
equable climates with indeterminate
seasons does not extend over more
than two or three months, and that
growth is not rhythmical in any sense.
but depends upon food-supply, tenn
perature. moisture and other environ
mental conditions"

GERMANS FIND 1T
EASY TO FOLLOW
HEALTH SUGGESTIONS

Hamburg, April 1:-America's en-
forcement of stricter quarantine reg
ulations to prevent vermin-infested
emigrants from carrying typhus into
the ports of the United States has
caused German shipping companies,
operating from this port in connec-
ton with American lines, to use
greater vigilance in the inspection
and delousing of passengers.
The facilities are so good here for
handling passengers and the disin-
fecting plants are so large and mod
ern that German officials have found
little difficulty in meeting the sug-
gestions of American health officers.
The Hamburg American line which
is cooperating with the United Amer
lean lines. has had model emigrant
halls since 1907 which are isolated in
section of the city across the Elbe.
Arriving enligrants are first put in
what is called the "unclean" section.
After the emigrants are examined
and found to be healthy they are
bathed, their closing is disinfected
and deloused and they are then trans
ferred to the clean" section. Here
they are examined twice daily by
physicians until they sail to make
sure that they carry no disease upon
the ships.
All emigrants who are i'll are iso-
lated in hospitals and persons who
travelled with the sick passengers are
put into observation stations until 1t
is certain they have no communicable
disease.
