HAVE THEIR DISTINCT VOICES

Which Trees Speak.

II may not be generally known, but
II Is perfectly true, that 1t Is quite pos
sible to recognize trees by their voices,
though not. of course, SO simple Z
matter as that of identifying birds. In
summer, the sounds are produced by
the leaves rubbing against each other,
and trees with small leaves, like the
birch, for instance, speak In much
more rapid tones than do the large
leaved chestnuts.
Like the cuckoo, trees change their
notes with the seasons. A dry leaf
produces different sound from a soft
one. Tennyson the poet mentions the
"dry-tonged laurels pattering talk
In autumn all trees have drier leaves
than In spring. In winter trees talk
through their twigs. Thick branches
produce lower notes than thin ones Al
Professor Humphreys has pointed out
and when the branches vary in size the
range Of notes is correspondlngly great

oak and the sibilant sigh Of the pines
