New York's Parks Treeless Soon.

At the rate New York is losing trees
in its parks and open spaces there will
be no natural shade for the next gen.
Grafton, according to Martin L. Davey,
former congressman from Ohio, one
of the leading tree experts of the
country. Mr.. Davey had just finished
an extended tour Of the parks.
II understand the city has about
$4,000 trees" said Mr.. Davey. "The
limited funds Of the park department
allow it to employ only Is men for
their care. That means that each
man, if it were humanity possible,
would have to personally attend to
practically 10000 trees. The result Is
that $500 trees died in New York last
year, most Of which were splendid
shade trees, close to 100 years old.
The rate of loss is increasing rapidly.

WELSH TUNES HAVE SURVIVED
Traditional Melodies Still In Use,
Though They Have Not Been
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
a place in the services of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster.
The attention of DR.. r. d. Terry, the
organlst of the cathedral, was drawn
to the tunes some years ago by David
Lloyd George. At service Of benedic-
ton recently the 30 Salutaris hostia"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter Is one Of the
prime minister's favorites.
"These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told a
London Daily Mall reporter. "Many
Of them date from the pre-Reforma-
ton period. For centuries they were
not written down, but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unaccom-
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another.
"Many of them have been recovered
and published in Welsh hymnals, but
unhappily in too many cases their
harmonies and even their melodies
were revised in accordance with the
musical ideals of the last century.
ut Is still possible, however, to
hear them sung In all the beauty OF
their original form In remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
sicians Of today are realizing how
very much more beautiful these old
versions are. DIR. Walford Davies, a
Welshman who is now professor OF
music at the University of Wales,
may be trusted to see that good care
Is taken of them"

Boston Pipe Arch Bridge Unique.

An engineering curiosity, said to be
unique in this country and to have
only one parallel in Europe, is the
pipe-arch bridge over the Sudbury riv-

steel pipe, Tx feet in diameter, rises
5h feet above the horizontal at the

mass of concrete 40 feet thick behind
each abutment. Across the curved
top runs hand-railed foot bridge.

MYSTIC BRIDGE
 ONLY ONE OF ITS
 KIND IN AMERICA

Mystic. July 19,-A new bride spans the Mystic river adding one more con- venience not only to townspeop1e but to the uncounted thousands of auto- ists who travel over the share road from New London to the cities and beaches of Rhode Island or in a re- verse direction.
 Speaking more broadly it adds to the development of the state high way system paralelling the sound shore for those who go east and west.
 It Is quite probable that the earliest settlers had a footbridge over the Mystic river which later was equal to the horse drawn vehicles of the times Town history shows that in the late fifties of the last century a drawbridge was built with the mov- able span drawn over rollers by horses whenever craft wished to go into the river to the shipyards or leave them for the open sound.
 In 1886 a third bridge was built and in 1904 when trolley lines were laid on the highway the structure was rebuilt. In recent years the bridge was a matter of undue expense and in 1920 the selectmen started to have a new one put in. Work was started in July of last year and today the completed structure was formally put Into use.
 In spite of the saying that there Is nothing new under the sum- the new bridge is said to be the first of its kind built in the country. It is a balanced beam design with concrete counter weights. The bridge is 215 feet long and the lift SS feet.

 At 10 o'clock most Of the nremen who had been working iii the imme- diate zone of the fire were ordered to lash the hose to stands and get away from the walls. There was a bulge on the. Jane street side of the building of about 20 inches, and it was feared the walls would crash at any moment.
 A little before that. Mayor Hy1an talked with several deputy ire chiefs. The mayor came from St. Vincent s hospital where he had talked with the 20 injured f1remen.
 There are scoundrels who place money and profit above human life, '' said the mayor to newspaper men. ''1t's about time some of them spent some of their time in jail. We have many honored citizens who care too much for the almighty dollar.''
