The ‘movement began in 1872, when the board of agriculture | of that state recommended that the people should set aside a certain day to be specified by the board for plant- | The suggestion met with | ing trees. popular approval. The sentiment rap- idly spread to other states, with the re- sult that Arbor day is now recognized e@s a national institution. In many states it is recogifzed as a legal holi- day. ,North America being the chosen home of forests, it is very proper that it should be this country that should set aside a day for the tree. No other part of the country approaches the territory lying within the United States for its o i THE EUCALYPTUS' TREE. Tlge great progress of scientific for- estry in the past.few years has render- ed practically impossible the extinction of our native trees, but should such .a calamity ever befall us we have an im- migrant tree which will be able to sup- ply all our wants. It is the eucalyptus or gum tree of Australia, which grows so fast that it can almost be harvested every autumn, like grain. The first eucalyptus plantations in this. country were set out in California twenty-five years ago. Some of these groves have been cut down three or four times and are again high In the air, while those trees which have had, the full twenty-five years' growth are as large as oaks 300 years old. A Cal- ifornia farmer who_had planted a row of eucalyptus alongside his house as a sort of hedge cut it down at the end of five years and got twenty-four cords of firewood. The row of trees was only 250 feet long. The eucalyptus makes the best kind of firewood, but is equally good for any other purpose for which wood is used. It makes even better piles, some experts say, than Oregon pine, and it has been successfully tested in the form of street paving blocks as well as that of household furniture. It is not entirely on its reputation as a rapid grower that the eucalyptus bases its claim to fame. "It is a doctor and a sanitary engineer. The leaves of the:tree contain a_fragrant volatile oll which is much used in treating diseases of the lungs and throat. The tree has the pecullar ability to shed its bark, and at night the groves, give off a strong odor (like ‘ozone, slightly tinged with the scent of pep- permint. In Australia consumptives camp near the eucalyptus forests in the belief that the medicated atmosphere will cure or arrest the disease. As an engineer the eucalyptus has made its mark in the. Roman cam- pagna. The tree absorbs a great amount of water through its roots. g N ‘ forest. growth. - That is. such was the original condition of the country, but it has been greatly changed by the waste- ful and reckless havo: wrought by the tireless energies of the pioneer and the || { lumberman. They needed but a trifle of, the timber that was cut, and niuch was burned in order to provide land for; tilling purposes. The onslaught of the primitive wood- man was nothing compared to the war- fare waged by the modern woodman. The woodman has passed away, but the | lumberman is still with us. Tree planting for commemorative | purposes has long been a custom in { many countries. In connection with this article are pictures of King Ed- ward and_Queen Mary of England planting trees. i i { i In California the eucalyptus has proved valuable as a windbreaker when planted in hedges about or- chards of delicate orange and lemon ] trees. The ranchers of the great [] prairies, too, are setting out the euca-|| lyptus by thousands. The eucalyptus is unlike in its ap- pearance any American tree. It'is a dark, sober colored tree of a sad dis- position, for its leaves all hang down- ward. There are 134 species in Austra.’ lia. About twenty varieties have been introduced into this country. i A Shocking Tree. i A German authority on forestry an- nounces the discovery. in the primeval forests of India, of a tree with the:l] most curious and inexplicable charac- teristics. The leaves of this tree are so highly electrical that whoever touch- es one of them reccives a severe elec- trical shock. Even upon the magnetic needle this tree. which has been given the nume Philotcea electrica; has a strong influence, causing magnetic va- riations at a distance of seventy feet. The electrical strength of the tree va- ries according to the time of day. It is strongest at noon, but almost en- tirely disappears at midnight. Its elec- tricity also disappears in wet weather. Birds never nest nor perch upon its branches. nor have any insects ever been seen upon it. MANIMMIIMNN PLANTING.
