fortable and pleasant surroundings is to be seen in the number of tree-planting clubs which have recently come into existence. The old-time Arbor Day idea was, as all of us now see, mistaken and impractical. The planting of trees as public improvements should always be under the direction of permanent organizations in order that the investment in nursery stock shall not be lost by neglect and that the years shall not be wasted. The planting of trees on streets or county roads calls for the observance of certain general rules or canons of taste, which are fundamental and are everywhere applicable. They are indeed axiomatic canons, as will appear upon reflection, but they may be briefly discussed after stating them. THE ARRANGEMENT OF TREES All the trees planted on a given street should be of one species and one only, planted on both sides of the street in straight lines. Sometimes it is necessary to change a tree after two or three blocks, but good taste says the longer the avenue the better. At all hazards the spirit of the principle must be kept, and the different trees must not be mixed in the same block, either on the same or on different sides of the roadway. The object of this is to secure uniformity, and uniformity must be had, for the reason that the street is a geometrical figure, and must be treated accordingly. To mix different types of trees, to put small ones up against large ones, slender ones against squat ones is and the different trees must not be mixed in the same block, either on the same or on different sides of the roadway. The object of this is to secure uniformity, and uniformity must be had, for the reason that the street is a geometrical figure, and must be treated accordingly. To mix different types of trees, to put small ones up against large ones, slender ones against squat ones is obviously ridiculous, because it is a feeble attempt to treat a rigid street line after the style of a park or garden. No one thinks of planting in a lawn half a dozen absolutely different things in a rigid line with accurate spacing. Yet in streets we often see a large tree here, a shrub there, deciduous trees by evergreens, and a palm amongst all. It is, as said, an attempt to treat a street as if it were a park, and this is futile because in a park you naturally have curving roadways and always large vistas to right and left and space for groves and clumps of trees. Highly impressed with the beauties of a park, people try to "landscape" a street, to force a park which requires room into street where there is no room! Some one has happily compared diverse trees on the two sides of a street to two rows of buttons on a Prince Albert coat, all the buttons being of different sizes, shapes or colors; one is just as appropriate as the other. Keep to one kind of a tree. It is a simple thing to do. It is a pleasing method. It gives the effect of distance. "The charm of each tree is renewed in the next and the effect of the whole is constantly intensified and multiplied by repetition." The street with its rigid lines becomes a place of beauty. The distance between the trees should not be less than fifty feet. This is the distance that has been found by experience to be the best. In any event the distance should not, under any circumstances, be less than the figure named. In other words, in the matter of tree planting, we should not consider merely to-day or to-morrow, but look far The distance between the trees should not be less than fifty feet. This is the distance that has been found by experience to be the best. In any event the distance should not, under any circumstances, be less than the figure named. In other words, in the matter of tree planting, we should not consider merely to-day or to-morrow, but look far into the future. There is a long time coming, and these trees should be given every opportunity to develop into fine individuals and their need of space when mature should be held constantly in mind. It is certain that fifty feet is in many cases too little. There are certain species whose branches will meet or interlock in twenty years, and even if the branches barely meet it is bad. It is not permissible, any more than desirable, to have on the street a continuous wall, or barricade of foliage. We lose very much of the aesthetic value. We do not want a dead wall of foliage shutting us in. The street is no place for a forest or a semblance of a forest, but it is a proper place for well-spaced trees. There are no objections to planting at thirty-foot intervals and in due time taking out the alternate trees, but it requires moral courage to cut out lusty trees, and it is wiser to plant the extra trees on another street, and thus improve two streets for one sum.

BINSON'S DRUG STORE VERY exceedingly great range of choice. There is especial need to urge care and judgment at this point. There is need to guard against the danger of mere sentiment, purely personal reasons, or the play of ulterior purposes on the choice of certain kinds or types of trees not adapted to the situation which they are to occupy. Such a fatality is not only in itself bad, but is also bad policy, since thereby effective arguments are furnished to those who are opposed to any tree planting whateyer. It must be remembered by those who favor street trees that there are many and valid objections to them. There are certain kinds of trees which disturb cement sidewalks, sprout freely, obstruct sewers and entail great expense, shade streets in the rainy season so that they do not dry out and so render them unsanitary, shut out the views or look ridiculous. All of these things may and do happen. Nevertheless it is perfectly feasible to so select, plant and care for street trees that the above objectionous may be lessened in force or be deprived utterly of their validity.

Walters of 546 St. Clair Ave., Columbus, O., writes: "For several months I was given up to die. I had fever and ague, my nerves were wrecked; I could not sleep, and my stomach was so weak from useless doctors' drugs that I could not eat.

How They Are Obtained From Every Part of the Tree. Every part of a camphor tree, even to the leaves, contains camphor. The forests are not confined to Formosa alone, but are also found in Japan proper. Camphor is found in the form of crystals in the wood tissues and is separated from the crude oil by double distillation. From the first distillation is secured an oxidized product, camphogenotol, the principle of the camphor oils of commerce. The crude camphor is a dark colored substance, fusing at 170 degrees C. Among the byproducts may be mentioned crude camphor oil, which comes out simultaneously with the camphor; white oil, obtained by sublimating the crude oil and used in the manufacture of soap. Red oil also is obtained from the crude camphor oil as well as black oil, which is extensively used in the preparation of varnishes. A turpentine is secured from the white oil that is in great demand for medical and industrial purposes. From red oil it obtained the product known as saffrol, employed to a considerable extent in the manufacture of perfumery and also soap, and a disinfectant is also distilled from red oil after the addition of other substances claimed to kill the cholera bacillus. Another product is an insecticide, which when mingled with 100 parts of water destroys insects injurious to farm crops.—Scientific American. French Walnut Crop The American Consul at Grenoble sums up the prospects of the great walnut-growing district for this fall as follows: Owing to an unusually cold spring and to long-continued rains, all vegetation has been retarded and fruits have developed and ripened slowly. French Walnut Crop The American Consul at Grenoble sums up the prospects of the great walnut-growing district for this fall as follows: Owing to an unusually cold spring and to long-continued rains, all vegetation has been retarded and fruits have developed and ripened slowly. The season may be said to be two weeks behind the average one. The walnut trees have shared in this, and, besides, the expensive rains were, in one locality, in the month of June, subjected to a very heavy storm accompanied by hail. The young nuts in consequence were slow to form, but since the 20th of June, a period of about two weeks. the weather has become suddenly warm, developing into a "heated spell," with occasional showers, and the general conditions for the growth of the nuts have changed for the better. The nut trees are looking fresh and clean in their rich, green foliage, and the nuts themselves, now of the size of small marbles, are promising a normal yield. Some of the dealers in the nut districts have been disposed, until these better weather conditions set in, to minimize the prospects, predicting a harvest much below the average; but others more recently are raising their expectations, and predicting fuller and more satisfactory results in every way. Combining these reports with our own personal observations, we believe that there is good ground for thinking that the nuttage for 1905 will be a fair one, well up to the average—this as to quantity, and, we see no reason why it should not be so as to quality.
