HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
An Instance Which Illustrates tbs
Difficulty of Destroying;
One.
A gentleman of means living in a sub
urban town tells how his mother once
undertook to murder a cherry tree, says
the Chicago Chronicle. "I was a boy
at the time,” he said. "The tree stood
on our lawn; it had been planted by my
father, and he loved it with a parental
affection; but it was an eyesore to my
mother, for she thought it spoiled the
looks of the garden.
"She decided to murder It secretly,
because she knew that my father would
never consent to its removal. For a
long time she pondered, asking hersell
how she might kill the tree without be*
ing detected, and finally she decided
that she would use for her weapon boil
ing water. Accordingly whenever my
father was away she would get at kettle
and, tiptoeing out to the tree with a
guilty look, she would pour boiling
water upon its roots.
“At first the tree showed no change
under this treatment. After a time,
though, a change began to manifest
itself. My father noticed it.
“ ‘By jove,’ he said, ‘my cherry .tree
seems unusually fine and hearty.’
“And this was a fact. The more boil
ing water my motner pourea on tne
roots the more the tree thrived and
flourished. Finally, in despair, she gave
up trying to commit her vegetable mur
der.
“A florist, to whom she narrated this
strange story one day, laughed when he
heard it. He said it was no wonder the
tree had gotten along so well. He de
clared that boiling water was often
used on trees, as it killed off the worms
and bugs molesting them.”
Tlie MuKnetJe Worth.
The belief in the constancy of the
magnetic compass to the north pole has
not the least foundation in fact. At ev
ery different place on the globe it points
in a different direction, and only one or
two of them are due north. In London,
for instance, it points to a place about
17 degrees west of north. Seventy-six
years ago it was still further away, be
ing then 24Vi degrees, or a quarter of
the way around to the west. In the year
1580 it pointed 11 degrees east. Then it
began to move north till 1659, when it
pointed due north. But it remained
thus only for a moment, passing around
to its greatest deflection in 160 years.
Vgain it turned in 1$20, and is still mov
ing nearer the north. It will not reach
that point for nearly a century and a
half, and so it will go on backward and
forward forever.—N. Y. Herald.
Nothing1 lint Envy.
Chicago insists that typhoid germs
cannot live during the 250-mlle trip
to SL Louis in the drainage canal, but
we know, remarks the SL Louis Re
public, that any germ native of the
Windy City 1* sufficiently lusty to
swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly increase the foreign
typhoid fever business.
