TH6 tarring 01 me rutiuo uao cuuiv to be a common practice in this coun try and In Europe, especially In the neighborhood of cities where the auto mobile traffic has been heaviest. A few years ago the French botanist, Dr. Gatln, made a study of the trees along the roadway in the Bols de Boulogne In Paris to find whether the treatment given the roads had any Influence upon the vegetation., This examination brought out the fact that the trees that had received the dust from such roads were much affected; their growth was stunted, the leaves small, shriveled up, and became spotted. In investigations made subsequently he tried to find out whether there were I not other effects upon more deep- : lying parts, and gave special atten tion to the catalpa, or "Indian bean," , as It is called in this country. i Comparing the twigs of normal trees with those of affected trees, all hav ing been cut off on the 1st of July, he found that those on the normal trees , were considerably larger at the base. ( In fV?A nffopfpH trPPS la 1UV IH1UWUVU <U I.UU particularly confined to the woody lay ers, as the bark Is of the same thick ness on all the twigs, says a writer In Harper's Weekly. The wood cellB are much smaller, whereas the layers Im mediately under the skin are develop ed much more In the trees attacked by tar dust. Specimens gathered In the autumn showed more Important differ ences. In the normal trees the twigs had the usual deposits of reserve starch, whereas In the trees grow ing along the tarred roads no starch was present. Other trees showed parallel effectB. Thus the black locust and the one-leaf locust, whether collected In the early summer or In the autumn, showed un favorable effects upon the twigs and leaves when the trees were showered with dust from the tarred roads. The corky layers of the bark developed lr- . regularly, and the starch was less abundant than normally. Finally, ab- | normal cork formations appeared upon < the veins of the leaves of pelargenium 1 and in the leaf stalks of sycamore and ' chestnut trees. These effects upon the growth of the , trees, and especially the Inhibition of the starch* formation, explain why it is that the effects of road tarring have i not been observed soon after the ap- I plication of the tar. The injurious ef fect upon a tree 1b cumulative. For two or three seasons the tree can put 1 forth new Ehoota at the expense of re- ' serve food of previous years; but grad ually the noxlouB tar dust brings about the unfavorable symptoms. If some- < thing were to be introduced as a sub stitute for tarring, it would again be several years Derore we couia De quue jure that It did not have an undesir able effect upon the vegetation of our parks and roadsides. Preservation of City Treea. The Twentieth Century club wants the city to spend $25,000 a year on caring for the shade trees In our streets. The demand is a modest one. We have thousands of trees worth |200 each or more, not to speak of I | the commoner ones of less value, j What manufacturer who had Invest- 1 ' ed hundreds of thousands of dollars in a plant would allow It to go to t wreck for lack of a few thousand dol lars a year for maintenance? Yet that Is what we are doing with our tree*. We spend money freely In set ting them out and then wo leave them to the mercy of Insects and other pests. It would he rar wiser 10 spend what money we can spare In taking care of the trees we have rath er than go on setting out more, know ing that In a few years they will In all probability have succumbed to the ( unnatural conditions In which they ] are set. By all means preserve our f trees. There is nothing which beauti fies a city more, nothing which, with ' ft proper annual expenditure, yields a 1 better return.?Detroit Journal.
