A dispatch to the New York Herald, under date of Berkeley, Cal., August 35, says: Three surgeons are at work on the University of California oaks. Those famous trees that almost everybody in the world has read or heard about are submitting to a rejuvenating pro cess. It may not be as painful as the sur gery practiced on human beings, but it is doing a great deal of good, and the patient old oaks will come out of the ordeal revivified and the better equipped to withstand the Pacific winds. Once in their lives oak trees the California kind, that is must be oper ated upon. Like human beings, as they grow older, their vitality de ceases. Their withered limbs get more crusty, and the dry rot takes hold of their trunks. In their young days, say when they were about two hundred years old Heart Disease may be cured by strengthening the heart nerves, enriching the blood and proving the circulation with Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. Safe and sure. wd on KDftnntra, Bond postal for f re "book a akwuMM of the bwuc and err today. Dk. Mxiae Mxxhcal Oo iSkkart, Ind. for the university oaks are estimated 1 10 De over lour hundred years of age they were strong enough to shako oft these manifestations of age. If the wind made a wound in the trunk of n,n oak it soon healed over with new bark; if a limb broke, it sent a new one to take its place. But in the infirmity-of old ago tho -palsied tree can no longer cover up its injuries, and it stretches out its scraggy arms to man, appealing to him for assistance in its distress. The most devitalizing affliction of the oak is the dry rot This usually manifests itself at the places on the 'trunk where the limbs have boon broken or cut off. Before the bark has had timo to shield tho wound the weather sets into it and the wood rots away. Sometimes there will be a hole sev eral feet deep where it is least sus pected. If this disease id not corrected it will eat its way into the heart of tho tree, eventually killing it Professor W. A. Sctchell, of the botany department of the university, ras been watching with some appre hension the encroachments of tho dry rot on the trees. Just before his departurofor Europe recently he had a conference on the subject with President Wheeler, to whom he said that something must be dono to savo the oaks, and done at once. President "Wheeler was alive to tho necessity of Immediate treatment, and gave orders, therefore, to Grounds Su perintendent A. L. Bolton to proceed according to x-rofessor Setchell's di rections. In carrying out the instructions, Su perintendent Bolton, as chief surgeon and the surgeons under him hav tenderly solicitous for tho fathers of the campus. In digging out tho cavities and fill ing them with more wholesome stuff they have exercised the greatest care not to hurt the tree, though there must bo inward groans when the drills pierce too far. Workers have proceeded by ridding I he trees of all tho dry rot, then dte infecting'the exposed places with coal tar and filling them with California cement. Tho cement takes the place of the natural wood and enough is put Into the cavity to hring it to the edge cf the bark. This leaves a surface over which the bark grows In time, thus enclosing fho cement If the cement was filled to' the brim of the bark the hark would be retarded in Its growth and ittally the tree would die. The treatment of the trees has dis closed some strange things. Most curious of these is an oak in which Lr letters "G. R." were cut years ago in the bark. This left the wood exposed to the weather which in time rotted deep, though it was not apparent until the operators began work upon it In a fe.w more years the tree would have died. Various are the tools used by the tree surgeons in prosecuting their la bors, many of them not unlike those us-Q by a surgeon. There are scoops and spoons and drills and all sorts of instruments, all of them turned out for the purpose by the college black smith shop. For the cavities high up from the rouno an improvised chair is em ployed, in which the workman is hoisted to his work. The last legislature made a special appropriation for this work. Monticello (la.) Times: It is a no ticeable fact that many of the men who opposed the free coinage of silver in 1896 and prated about honest cur rency, the credit and honor of the gov ernment, are now advocating the en actment of the Fowler bill, which would enable them to unload a lot of dishonest securities on the govern ment as security for asset currency is sued by national banks. tm T i- I men fV v-j I'wttfi k sn tf S!"
