RECORDS GROWTH OF TREE
Apparatus Known as the "Dendo- graph" Does Useful Work In Gar
 den of New York Park.

A maple tree in the Botanical gar 'dens of Bronx park in New York is the subject of very interesting ex- pertinent. It Is being used In a test of the dendrograph, an apparatus for recording the growth of tree.
 To casual observer the tree ap- pears to- be merely the central SUD- port of wire cage, such as might be used for housing some small animal, and many visitors possibly approach It with that In mind. There are four square walls of wire and a roof which meets the tree trunk above.
 A closer look reveals that there are no animals or birds, although some thing that looks somewhat like bird house Is attached to a bracket at one side. This in reality is the little tin house or cover of the recording drum of the dendrograph Other parts of the apparatus are the collar and belt of blocks which encircle the tree and the recording rod which marks the trees growth on the cylinder.

The War h Over.

The Woman was passing a churcf "on west-side corner It was a crisI evening and the electric light near by circled full upon crippled coloret man sitting on the top step of the church entrance. His delapidated army hat spelled ex-service man. AS thu Woman slowed jaunty doughboy, caI set at perilous angle, stopped at tho foot of the stairs and breezed:
 Hello, old fellow, what's the mat ter?"
 "All in, dead broke-and hungry, was the reply.
 The doughbOy turned his pocket. out ruefully, and as bit of small change clinked to the sidewalk he stopped, picked 1t up and handed 1t tt the other, with:
 "I'll get some more soon. Hope il brings yer luck"
 Thanks, bop answered the other.

ing the extremely hot weather:
 To begin right the family should dress as cool as possible. White Is the most popular of all goods, as 1t comes in thin weaves, washes so we'll and, If made simply, is not laundry prob- lem. Green and blue are also cool. . looking. Every housewife should provide herself with at least one cool dress for sweltering days. With plain skirt and waist, or one-piece affair with simple fichu draped over the plainness, one will be in style year after year. A cool, resh-looking housemother will refresh the entire family on a hot, smothering day.
 The daily bath being necessity, and some days semi-daily, the Turkish towel Is a great convenience. Let each one take care of his own towels. After giving them hot rub In the water, hang on the line and turn the hose on them; the sun and air will purify and dry them and the weekly wash will keep them in good condition.
 A polished table with doilies run ners or the decorated oil-cloth covers will save oceans of laundry work. Small lunch napkins, or even the pa per kind, will save much work.
 Furniture, when repainted, If done in soft gray, may be decorated in vari. ous designs, making 1t most attrac- tive and cool-looking. Cretonnes and summer draperies harmonize so beau- tifully with such coloring. Black and white Is another popular and striking color note used much on furniture this year.
 A good wettlng of the concrete walls of the house night and morning will cool things off wonderfully. Open the house until well aired in the morning, then close for the day and 1t will keep much cooler, shutting out the sun by drawing shades and closing blinds.

collar arrangement is in contact witt the trunk of the tree at only two points.
 The instrument was installed before growth started. It gives a continu ous record of all changes In volume in the trunk of the tree. It records these changes with extreme accur' acy.
 Having been satisfactorily installed tthe dendOgraph needs no further ad. justment, or, in fact, attention of any sort, excepting that once a week the clockwork must be wound and a new record sheet placed on the recording cylinder.
 The tree whose daily and hourly growth Is thus being noted and record- ed Is a young sugar maple about g foot in diameter. a native tree, not planted, but having sprung from . .chance seed.
 The official memoranda accompany. ling the dendograph stated that "the instrument consists essentially of @ 'belt of blocks to be clamped around the trunk of tree In such manner that 1t Is believed that no modiflca 'tion of the growth action of the tree is caused except at the actual tangents where the blocks touch the tree. This belt of blocks serves as a stable sup port for the recorder and other part, of the apparatus"
 The essential feature of the apparat rus Is the yoke, made up of slotted barr Aof barrie, an alloy with very low tenn perature coefficient, which Is held ip position by the upright fingers" of spring brass wire which hold the yoke in place without exerting any notable pressure on the tree.

The opera Robin Hood" was again present in St. Johns to an appreciative audience, this mak- ing the fourth night. and each night it drew a full house altho it had been to Edgar, Snowflake and two nights Flagstaff and in all places met with great success, it still retained its charm. Much credit is due to MT. and Mrs. J. Alfred Anderson and his troupe who worked so hard and diligent in making the opera a grand sue cess and we doubt very much if you can find another town no larger than St. Johhs that can put forth as much talent as can be found here. The public will be anxious to know what will be Prof. Anderson's next.
