So few of us notice trees carefully that In early spring v I en the buds are swelling we say be buds are coining on the trees," wheie.m, if our eyes had been opened to nature s won ders we would have known they laid been patiently “budded ’ the summer before. As the buds begin lo swell the out feide coverings or scales grow larger, separate and fall, writes Susan S. Alhurtis in Nature Magazine of Wash ington. They leave their scars behind them as a group of very close rings. Wherever thesu rings are, there a ter minal bud has been. Not necessarily does Hit distance be tween ring groups me. n a year’s growth. Sometimes, according to the season, a (roe will make a second growth, then it lias made two terml- 1 nal buds In a growing season. The horse chestnut frequently does this, because of a disease that attacks it In early July. In such cases two groups of rings would be made In one year. Not all the side buds on a twig will open. They are the reserve army wait ing to come into action If the main buds are injured. After a few years of waiting, if they have not been brought Into service, they will be cov ered by the growing wood, but have “served by waiting.” Not much variation occurs In the shape of the bud bundles In the same species, so probably the safest way to know trees is by their buds. Then, too, If fee remember that they are on the trees all the year round except for a very short time' immediately after the old buds have opened and the new leaves are getting strong enough to work, we can identify trees when all Hie leaves are gone If we know the bud bundles. SELLING FURS TO ESKIMOS Sounds Like Paradox, but Wolverine Headdress I3 Popular With Peo ple of the North. Selling furs for consignment to the Eskimos sounds like a paradox, but that Is exactly what took place at the opening day of the week’s sale of the Canadian Fur Auction Sales, Limited, at the Mount Royal hotel, according to the Montreal correspondent of the Boston Transcript. The explanation was more simple than it looked. F. H; PIngres, general manager and also auc tioneer for the sale, said that the Es kimos of Alaska have plenty of beau tiful seal, fox and similar furs, but each Eskimo with any pretensions as a beau desires above all things to have a wolverine headdress for himself and his favored squaws. So the Alaska dealers load up with the choicest skins they can get from the Eskimos and bring them to the Montreal auctions, where they barter them for wolverine skins, which they take hack to Alaska j for the adornment of the Eskimo I onv:x and belles. The Eskimos are satisfied and the various bartering processes are not done without profit. GIVING OUT. The Struggle Discourages Many a Citizen of O’Neill. Around all day with an aching back, Can’t rest at night; Enough to make any one “give out.” Doan’s Pills are helping thousands. They are for kidney backache; And other kidney ills. Here is O’Neill proof of their merit: Mrs. Minnie Bowen, says: “I had backache and a heavy dull pain in my kidneys that seemed to wear me all opt. I couldn’t get much rest at night and it was all I could do to keep at my work. There was a severe pain in the back of my head and through my shoulders. My kidneys were weak, causing a great deal of annoyance. Doan’s Pills relieved me completely. FOUR YEARS LATER, Mrs. Bow en added: “I still think Doan’s are a good kindey medicine. It has been a long time since I have had need of a kidney remedy.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Bowen had.

The ever busy scientific research worker in his laboratory has succeed ed in making a superior grade of rub ber from the cactus so widely found in the southwestern United States. In South Africa a man has found a way of converting the juice of the prickly pear into industrial alcohol. Probably our dandelions and daisies and butter cups contain alcohol, too. Perhaps some day Winnipeg will ship her old people and invalids to Baffin land in the summer and the West Indies in the winter in flying machines driven with weed-made alcohol fuel. And*our heating and cooking and lighting and transportation and factory power may come from sea-power. The ebb and flow of the tides furnishes an inex haustible reservoir of electric power. Above Bristol on. the Severn river in England, a great project is being planned to dam the river and utilize the ebb and flow of the tide for elec tric power purposes.
