Saving Lives of Oaks by Surgery.
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

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.
