Washington's Cherry Trees

Mrs. Taft shortly after going into
the White House ordered so japanese
cherry trees to be sent to Washing
ton and planted. She had seen and adj
mired these trees while travelling in
the East. A Japanese resident of New,
York made her gift of 1000 of these
trees. When they reached America
they contained an insect that was in
furious to American plants. For that
reason they were thrown overheard
The city of Toxic then gave the United
States 5000 of these trees. The water
side around the Speedway and the
Tidal basin in Washington have these
trees in blossom during the early
spring.

Cable Insulation

One can hardly see any connection
between hoop skirts and the electrical
industry, but one may be traced,
strangely enough, which took place in
the early days of the electrical devel-
opment The first cables were not in
sulated satisfactorily till Walter T.
Glover, an Englishman who braided
steel hoops with cotton, had an In
spiration. Crinolines were going out,
so was his business. So he used his
machinery for insulating copper wire
with cotton braid, and he soon had
no cause TO regret the passing of the
crinoline.
