TREES FOR ROADSIDES. Prcosrvativa • Effsct of Sliada on French Highways. In an wer to inquiries from the. Uult il 1 States, Consul (icaeral Hubert P. j Skinner of Marseilles furnishes ihe | I'll .owing Informal ion relative to the i'.T,- t of wayside trees on Trench | roads: It is proposed to plant trees ftlong I ,lie roadsides of Nov," York state in : irtLcr to keep tho muisture ia the road ; and pre.eat raveling, and the «p estion j has hoe a raised whether «.r u;.t Ihe roots of sueh trees ina.v r.j.r-. a..l out i:n Jo-neat !t the toad surl'uoeWttnl j .illy create great damage ia a •.r-e ell nate where there are extremes of | Ucat and eold. While French roads J are not always bordered with shade j trees, they are so very frequently, and I my information is that the trees are | planted not only for furnishing shade, j j iait in order to protect the roads them- j '•elves against the'effects of excessive J heat: and drought. It is believed .that I the long, dry summer season, is much J more inimical to roads than severe cold.

IJirot, civil engineer and former ! i conductor of tin? bureau of bridges and I highways, expresses himself as fol lows 011 the subject: > "in <ountrics where the climate is damp roadside trooa are prejudicial, to the maintenance of the highways, as j they prevent the circulation of the air and the drying of the, sojl. In most of • the southern' French regians such plan tations are, on the.other hand, very 1 useful hi dry weather, as they main- ' tain the roadlsed in "a state of fresh- j ness favorable to its conservation. In general, trees should lie selected with \ high spreading branches, such as the : poplar, the elm. tlk? ash, and they j should be planted generally upon the ! outer edge of the roadbox and at dis- 1 tanees of 10 meters (JJ2.81) feet).

Elephant Police. The sight of six pairs'of elephants eiftiultaneousiy at work capturing a I half . dozen struggling, trumpeting mates Is an imposing one. Like a pair ■of animal policemen arresting a pris oner, the g'eat beasts sidle alongside a victim, take him between them and Jostle-alii'd squeeze and worry him, tail tirst, toward a tree. Every inch is contested by the herculean fighters until nearlng a stout tree or stump the little brown elephant catchers slide from their mounts to the ground, crawl lin'der the ponderous bellies and shuf fling, Sticking foot,' slip cable slings about a hind foot and take a turn r.reund a tree. —Strand Magazine. *'£lue of Thorough Hoad WorK.
