Scientific American. ".. An interesting movement is on foot in Soathern California, namely the re- foresting of the Sierra Madre. For many yeara during the whlfe regime and many more under the Indiana, the fine range known as tb9 Sierra Madre, the coast range of Southern California, has been burned over and - devastated. Daring the past ten years forest fires have raged in the San Gabriel Valley and burned many square miles of ter ritory contiguous to Pasadena and Los Angeles, seemingly threaten! rg the water supply of this region. That something must be done, if the flora of the mountains was to be saved, was evident, but little progress was made until Mr. T. P. Lukens, ex-mayor of Pasadena, a lover of nature, undertook the work. At first, single handed and done, he began experimenting with be best trees, and now as a result, he bas planted tens of thousands of pines fPinus tuberculata) on the slopes of she Sierra Madre in Southern Califor nia, especially along the line of the valleys beginning with the San Gab riel. " : - - ' ' - Mr. Luken? has met with great suc cess, and m a few years the result of his labors will be visible from a dis tance and the water supply will be greatly increased. The trees and forests of California are extremely interesting, ana in their study of observation one is often im pressed by their sensitiveness to various factors for or against a fine develop ment. Trees are susceptible to many in- duencis. Near Monterey is found a "uroquBBuy, as .u tu u. remarkable oak locally pointedTone wtl0m Baltimore San quotes, out as a "curiosity" as the creeping oak.

As?de from the oak groves the real forests ot California are found in the mountains. The - redwoods- of the Coast Range are magnified specimens. In former years, fifty years" ago, there were giants wit Kin five miles of . the city of San Francisco , that would to day be of inestimable value ; but the sawmill was among the pioneers, and the giant redwoods were destroyed, there being no vigilantes to save or re- venge them. The writer saw the trunk of one of these giants in Mill Valley which had been leveled off near the ground and was used as a dance plat form. Auother was a bower or hall for other purposes. The young shcols had grown up around the edge of the trunk, telling th? story of its size. The redwood forests of the California Coast Range are its chisf glory, but they are being devastated with a ruthless hand. In the Sierras the giant . sequoias, couisins of the rei'ood, are preserved, and here are many pines, among the most . beautifnl of California forest trees. Typical trees are the madrona and Euazatteta. In Northern Califor nia the latter are fovnd near the sea, low down, but in the south they affect tb3 higher levels. Enew by Expsriencs.

Nothing is more beautiful than the old age of a man and wifa who have grown dear to each other by the mani fold experiences ol iife. So nothing is more grim and hideous than such an old age when the long years h ive heap ed up bitterness and diacird only.

" ' An old couple who had been married fifty years finally saparated because the man wanted a half-bushel of. asbaj on the hearth and his wife wanted only a peck. They had argued the question unremittingly and savagely for forty nine years, and' at last ended the bitter sport by a stormy .parting. There is a grim humor in many of the countryman's expressions of his domestic irritation and discomfort, but they are none the less significant o! untold suffering .
