Tree AIphahet

On the estate of Sir william Geary
at Tonbridge there is an avenue of
alphabetical trees, which Is being add
ed to by new set, which are being
planted In pairs on each side OF the
existing avenue at intervals of ten
yards. beginning with alder, ash, birch,
catalpa, davidia, elm, fir, and SO on
through the alphabet to yulan and
zelkova.
In the weser district in Germany
there is another fashion in trees which
is entirely a commercial one. The
trees have a red and blue tint,
which is the result Of experiments
in dyeing. Each tree is hung with a
receptacle containing blue or red
coloring. This Is conducted through
rubber tube into the roots of the
tree. In about month the coloring
matter makes Its way through all the
branches. The trees die of and are
felled, the wood being used for many
purposes, but especially for making
furniture.

U. S. NOW USES OLD PALACE
Mansion Used by Spanish Governor Of
st. Augustine for 200 Years Now
a Customs House.

Set among tropical trees, through
which one gets glimpse of the SHIN
mering bay beyond the sea wall, and
beside the cathedral. with its quaint
Moorish belfry, stands the old Spanish
governors mansion, now used as post
office and customs house at st. Angus
tine, Fla.
The palace was built in 1903 by
Gonzalo Mendez, and purchased by the
king of Spain as a dwelling for the
Spanish governor general. For 200
years the flag of Spain floated over st.
Augustine; and then from 1863 to 1888
the British occupied the city. and It
was the colors of Great Britain that
waved in the gentle breeze that was
waited from Matanzas bay.
Again Spain came into possession of
Florida and it was not until July 10.

the land of Ponce de Leon, and since
that date the Stars and Stripes have

ELECTRICITY IN FEW HOMES
Only 81 Per Cent In the United statea
Enjoy Modern Method Of
illumination.

According to the figures gathered by
the Electrical World less than 81 per
cent of the homes in the United States
enjoy the comfort of electric lighting.
Think Of it-almost two-thirds of our
homes are without such modern equip
ment.
And yet in Italy only slightly more
than IL per cent of the homes are
lighted by electricity: less than IA per
cent of France, II per cent in the
United Kingdom and Ireland and
about 30 per cent In Japan, which
leads all other nations with the excep-
tlon of the United States with its
nearly 81 per cent-little enough, as
1t is.
Surely here is business for electra
gists for years to come. The wiring
alone for lighting the homes of our
own country will amount to consid-
erably more than u billion dollars.
While it used to be that this vast sum
seemed inconceivable, it now easily
fits into almost any picture we would
visualize.
Say S1,0O00Oo,OOO would take care
of the wiring for half of the homes in
the United States yet to be wired.
Then that is merely the start, for heat
and power, as well as light are becom-
ing more and more popular In the
home, and the appliances furnishing
these features would add more billions
to the business.
In a recent survey of its members
made by the Association of Electra
gists 1t was found that almost co per
cent of them carry a stock of lighting
fixtures and make a display of them
1t is reasonable TO assume that of the
others almost 10 per cent at some time
or other sell lighting fixtures when
they wire the home for lighting. The
lighting fixture business, then, is large
ly in the hands of the electragist, and
thus billions of dollars more will come
to him as the saturation point of cleo
trio lighting in the home Is reached.

To prepare it. dissolve one cupful Of

1t WAS the evening of May Hes
keth's picnic supper, small but mem.
orable: and now the clocks had there
been any on the island, would have
pointed close to midnight. What was
so rare as this night in June? Sailing
wisps cf cloud shredded the face of
the high moon; the blackness of the
woods the glades and dells, the vine
covered rocks and the empty quarry,
were stippled and patched with silver:
the lake was sheet of silver stretch
ing far away to lose itself In lovely
dusk. Through the verdure a soft
breeze whispered; from the water
floated voices of the merrymakers, re-
ceding; and the woman stealing on
light feet up the path, slim and not
incongruous figure in her white bathing
dress, with unbound dark hair
streaming to her waist, reflected that,
for an hour at least, she would be
alone here.
But 1t was not so. From the i'm
penetrable shadows, as she neared the
ruined cabin, the figure of a man alb
ruptly emerged upon the path; he
stood confronting her. She started
little, and then she saw, with a wild
shoot of satisfaction, that this man
was her husband.
"Youv she said, with the family
mocking air she had long ago learned
for him; "but fancy meeting you
here!"
''You-you looked like a" he be-
gan a little confusedly; and then,
breaking off, he cleared his throat and
started again, more authoritatively:

but-but 1t does seem to fit in with
the surroundings somehow. You might
almost have been mistaken-at dis
tance, that is-for-a hamadryad.

"And what may they be? Something
very nice to be mistaken for, may I
hope? But supposed you'd gone in
the launch"
"No-no. I'm tired of drunks," said
he, continuing to stare at her. "And

WILL HELP SAVE FORESTS

The Forest Service has just writer
to seventeen of the largest tobacco
manufacturers of the United States
requesting them to insert warning
cards in every package of cigarettes
they put out, cautioning the smokers
to be careful with fire in the woods,
Similar campaigns are being under
taken by various state chambers OF
commerce.
The reason for this is that in study
ing the problem of fire prevention, the
Forest Service has been forcibly i'm
pressed with the hazard of forest fires
caused by thoughtless smokers. Fig
ures recently compiled covering Ore
gon and Washington show that % per
cent of the fires have been caused by
smokers.
The public, year by year, is becom-
ing more and more aggressive on the
subject of man-caused forest fires and
should demand the taking of what
ever steps are necessary to most thor
oughly eliminate such fires.
Inasmuch as matches and cigarettes
are responsible for a lions portion Of
our annual fire loss, match manufac-
turers could well join with tobacco
manufacturers in spreading the Cos
pei of carefulness with fire.

REGULATION INST1A0
OF TAXAT ~

The tax-paying public have done
their part for the automobile driver
in constructing and maintaining good
public highways.
1t is now up to careless automobile
drivers 70 do their part by sparing the
taxpaying public from the additional
expense of grade changes at railroad
crossings. All that is necessary Tor
these drivers to do is stop, look and
listen before crossing railroad track
Because small per cent Of the hun
dreds of thousands Of automobile drly-
ers persist in carelessness in crossing
railroad tracks there are those VINO
demand that grade crossings be eliml-
mated, little realizing apparently that
The danger is in the driver rather than
in the crossing, or that the publics
share of the expense of SUCH grade
changes would be large and burden
some at Dest.
Carefully computed cost of chang
ing a grade crossing shows it to be
from 100000 to $4,000 and in some
instances as much as 100000 or
100000, contingent upon the location
and surroundings. In apportioning
this cost it is customary for the rail-
road and the public to jointly bear the
expense.
There are 256,OO0 grade crossing in
the United States which to change at
$4,000 each would entail an expense
of $14,36O,OOO.
Isn't this a pretty heavy burden to
impose on the public for what the rail-
roads pay directly must be repaid to
the railroads by the public.
A law compelling vehicles to stop at
railroad crossings would be no ex-
pense to taxpayers while fines for dis
obedience would enrich the public
treasury.
