The poet Wordsworth wrote: “Laying out grounds, as it is called, may be ! consideréd as a liberal art, in some . #ort like poetry and painting; and its gbject, like that of all the liberal arts, s, or ought to be, to move the affec- tions under the control of good sense. If this be so when we are merely put- ting together words or colors, how much more ought the feeling.to pre- vail when we are in the midst of the realities of things; of the beauty and harmony, of the joy of happiness. of human creatures i-of men and children, of birds and beasts, of hills. acd streams, and trees and flowers, with the changes of night and day, evening' and morning, summer and winter, and I’ their unwearied actions and ener- All those about to garden in rural Istricts would do well to read the pMioregoing several times if extensive ' changes are contemplated, says the Los Angeles Times. All too many view the natural landscapes as some- thing to be obliterated, overcome, or subdued ; ‘whereas, quite to the con- Aqary, it gererally needs assistance and accentuation to bring out still stronger its best natural features. Too much destruction is visited upon the fair face of nature when man com- mences his so-called improvements. /Hills are cut down, canyons:and hol- lows filled, trees and shrubs uprooted, areas’ burned -over, all not only um- necessary but absolutely ruinous to nktural beauty and constituting moral i criminality that by rights should be punishable by ‘laws aimed to protect " primal beauty against the machina- yons of the vandal, man. Too often thie beauty spoiler uproots a, fine na- five tree or shrub to make room for a " pporer one from Tehuantepec or Tim- b@mtoo, ignorant, evidently, that he has made a very poor exchange and paid noney for the fancied privilege of do- fng:'so. We need a campaign of edu- ,cation that he who now destroys will recognize that if he lived a thousand years and spent fortunes he could never improve upon what nature has glven us except by aiding and adding and never by destroying and recon- smggting. Landscape gardening has rightly been called “the art that doth medd nature.” WILL ADOPT ENGLISH PLAN éyndlcnu Proposes to conot’ruct Large i Number of “Co-operative Homes” in Pennsylvania City. . Plans are under way to construct at least 1,000 homes in Marcus Hook, I),elaware county, Pennsylvania. One of the most interesting of the projects 1§ for the construction of 57 houses on plan similar to that of the English filage of Chester. This plan is jponsored by a Philadelphia syndicate, iid the estimated cost is upwards of $250,000. According to specifications the village will center at an intersec- tion of two streets. «%“ 'The proposed homes will be of the type known as “‘co-operative homres,” gimilar to those peing built at Bourne- ville and Port Sunlight, England. The dwellings ‘will be built of brick and stucco, with sloping roofs and will be set well back on dawns. At each of the four corners of the four principal residential squares there will be a tri- angular shaped lawn with shrubbery ad flowers. Damage From Lightning Small. The damage to property from light- ning is so small that it is almost neg- ligible, in comparison to the damage by fire of other origin. That modern ;. bullding construction makvs the dan- dger from lightning much less in the i than it is in the country is the “contention of the Blectrical Review, which says that the metallic roofs and ‘the steel that enters largely into the ‘construction of buildings in the cities ‘seem to rob the lightning of most of its destructive power, even if build- Ings are struck. Passing-Through Parks. Small parks in congested business centers are necessarily ‘“passing- through” parks. Central Square in i ‘Los Angeles is one of them, says the Los Angeles Times. More people each l day use it to pass through than the i |total of those who merely loiter for a L ‘whole month. For that reason no ~jendscaping should be done that will {nterfere with traffic, utility being the first consideration. This is not neces- garily true of a small park in a small { town where it is the only one and must & serve all purposes. 2 " Nut Trees Make Good Shade. - Nut trees make good shade; in the fields in groves they may become "% | profitable, in the barn lot they serve ~ . an excellent purpose, and along the £ roadside they should always be 7.l planted.
