AIDING TOWNS TO NAME TREES Forest Service Will Identify Trees in Streets and Parks. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.] Washington, D. C. Feb. 16. The increased interest in forests and forest trees which is a sign of the times has, among other things, led many city and town officials to seek to make known the names of trees growing in streets and parks. Not only are such trees in very many cases now without marks of identification, but in not a few cases they have been labeled with incorrect names. The Forest Service has devised plans by which its co-operation may be secured in correctly identifying the public trees of any community which may care to call upon it. It is remarkable how little uniformity there is in the use of tree names. Even scientific names, which are, of course, more exact than the common names, are in many cases unsettled, but the common names are often used almost at random. In different parts of the country the same species may be popularly known under very different names, and on the other had, the same name is often used in different localities for altogether different trees. In the effort to assist towards uniformity of usage in scientific names of forest trees, and also to lessen the must then be well tied and when it may be sent by mail pounds in weight. If, before the specimens are changed sheets of paper once in hours, keeping them constant a weight of from 40 to 50 p can be thoroughly dried three weeks, when they will heavy and will still be in exction for identification. Suggestions as to labels are also made by the se requested.

In different parts of the country the same species may be popularly known under very different names, and on the other had, the same name is often used in different localities for altogether different trees. In the effort to assist towards uniformity of usage in scientific names of forest trees, and also to lessen the chaos in the use of common names, the Forest service has already published "A Check List of the Forest Trees of the United States." This serves as a guide when once a tree has been identified by the botanist. But the first requisite is that the identification should be correct. It is here that difficulty is often met with. For this reason the Forest Service now offers its technical knowledge to city authorities. There are two ways in which assistance may be given. When the work is on a large scale, a representative of the service will visit the town or city and identify the tree by examination on the spot. In most cases, however, identification by correspondence will prove entirely adequate. This will require merely that specimens of the tree be sent to the Forest Service, together with a rough sample plat showing their location, the plat and specimen being numbered to correspond. For such identification a full set of specimens, illustrating mature foliage, and, if possible, specimens of the flowers and of the fruit (as the botanist call the seeds) should be sent. Fruit specimens are very essential, but flowers may be omitted if they can not be easily secured. Two or three branches in leaf, 10 to 12 inches long, taken from different parts of the crown, so as to exhibit all of the leaf forms common to the species, will answer for the foliage. One or two specimens of the foliage, flowers, and fruit may be placed between sheets of ordinary newspaper or blotting paper about 12x16 inches in size. Thirty to fifty specimens and sheets may thus be piled one on top of another, and the whole bundle placed between two stiff pieces or mill board, to help organize or to install the old organizations.

Using Their Respective Localities California seems to be waking up and parts of the state the people are going for strong and effective looking to the advertising of their live localities. According to exceived from many of the california counties good work is being Clarence E. Edwords, chief of city bureau of the California on committee in the way of the people to the opportunir. Edwords has been in many making addresses to the people organizing chambers of commerce, being new life into those already adied.

[TO BE CONTINUED.] Our Papers the Best A local newspaper is the best advertiser of its community—the best way that the world at large has to "size up" the town. It stands as a sort of composite photograph of everything that is going on in the community. Any other printed matter is regarded as the expression of only one man or one organization. This is the reason that a newspaper statement has the weight it does. This is why a thinking man looks to a newspaper to measure a community. The newspaper voices the sentiment of its subscribers. Some more completely, others only in a fragmentary way. The constituents of a newspaper recognize their part in the making of it and are interested accordingly. What has been said so far applies almost equally to the newspapers of any part of the country. There is something more to be said in behalf of the newspapers of the Pacific coast states. Compared with the papers in communities of the same size and similar conditions in the east, our papers are pronouncedly superior. They are better printed, hence more attractive in appearance and easier to read. They are more newsy and therefore better read. They give greater attention to the development of the community, which makes them more valuable to that community. They are more enterprising in covering special news features and in meeting special conditions. Their advertising is organize or to instil new life in organizations. Mr. Edwords is the work of the California union committee, and tells the organizations how best to put special localities before the people also explains the lecture which is being given in San Joaquin under the auspices of the tree. He has invitations for two ahead now and is doing much to meet the scope of all the commercializations in the state.

They are better printed, hence more attractive in appearance and easier to read. They are more newsy and therefore better read. They give greater attention to the development of the community, which makes them more valuable to that community. They are more enterprising in covering special news features and in meeting special conditions. Their advertising is more thoroughly representative. It is better written, more intelligently displayed, is changed oftener, better border and type faces are used. These are very comprehensive statements, but they are the result of careful comparisons—comparisons which you, quite likely, have not been in position to make. There are two principles why a merchant should advertise in the newspapers of his town. The first reason, and too often the only one considered, is one of personal advantage. The excellence of our newspapers is the strongest reason for using them to sell goods—to spread store news. But the broad-minded man with the interests of his community at heart recognizes that his voice, expressed through his advertising, adds weight to the local paper. The picture of a community as shown in its newspapers would be incomplete without the announcements of the leading merchants. It would be like a picture of the backgrounds in a photograph gallery with no one in front of them. The merchant needs the paper in order to reach his customers. The paper needs the merchant's ads in order to put out a good paper—needs his money, but also needs his advertising. The merchant and the community need a good paper to advertise the town to the world. The more merchants there are using the paper, the better the paper will advertise the town. So there is the double incentive urging the merchant to use advertising space—his immediate personal gain and the ultimate good of his community.—Pacific Coast Advertising. Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. C.—that Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B.C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 3,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own. The papyrus has a long heading, "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units and fractions were made by means of addition and multiplication. Subtractions and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless. Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among ten persons in such a manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one before him. Another example given is: There are seven men, each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations of area, the calculation of the area of a circle and its transformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids.—Philadelphia Record.
