PRESERVING FAMOUS TREES
How th Work la Do br " Kprl
nc Forester la Coa
Mllcat Valley.
BhaJing ths fine streets of several old
towns In the Connecticut valley are stately
trees, some of them mors than two centu
ries old. which ows their present existent
io the Interest and skill of a man who has
reduced th art of tree preservation to
a science. That man Is Christopher Clarke,
city forester of Northampton, and some of
the tree whose life has been thus pro.
longed bear close association with men and
vents that played a prominent part In
the early history of the nation. Among
them are the Jonathan tdards elm. In
Korthampton; the Indian house tree, la
Old Peerneld. and the General William
Sliepard elm, in Wrslfleld.
Although still one of the moat active men
ta the Connecticut valley. Mr. Clarke la
now an octogenarian, bis eightieth birthday
anniversary hiving been celebrated at a
banquet given by cltlsens of 'Northampton
a few months ago. Mr. Clarke unites a
love of nature with a fondness for an
tiquities. For more than half a century
he has had the care of the shade trees
in th streets of Northampton, and he has
great regard for a noble tree, so that the
preservation of hlstorto trees is for him a
work of love.
In a historic town like Northampton It la
a source of much satisfaction to th resi
dents to be able to point out a tree which
waa planted by th eminent theologian,
Jonathan Edwarda. although the body of
th former Northampton pastor and the
house which he lived In In course of his
ministry In th town have long since been
reduced to dust. Modern conditions of
urban life make th growing of bealhy
trees In streets a mor difficult under
taking every year, and It Is therefore
deemed worth while to spend time and
money In adding to the years of one of
thuse stattly, graceful trees planted by the
ancestors of those who now pass under
their protecting shade.
Visitors who admire some large and
healthy trees are surprised when Informed
that their trunks contain tons of cement
where there was formerly healthy wood.
Not Infrequently decay starts In a tree
and eats through a larg portion of the
Inside of the trunk and Into some of th
larger limbs. Unless heroic measure are
adopted the tree will then wither and die.
Sometimes a large limb Is torn from a
tree In a storm, leaving th Inner wood
exposed, and decay follows.
Wbin a tree doctor treats a decayed tree
he begins by cutting an sperture In the tres!
large enough to allow him to get at the'
Inside and remove all the decayed wood. I
This Is essential to the aurcees of the)
operation. When this work has been done
the cavity Is ready to be filled. The com.
position used In case of large fillings eon
tains five parts of sand to one part of
Portland cement, except for the outer pan.
where these Ingredients are used half ar. li
half, this outer coating being several inches'
thick. To hold the cement in place wh!'e;
It is hardening a S!out tin or sine is em
ployed, this being secured to the trunk or
limb In s wsy to preserve the natur.-.l:
shape. The tin is rut on In strips, being'
fastened with round steel nails having
broad heads and a small shank. Tt s
strips sre wide enough to lap over up"
the sound wood and the nails sre placed
from half an ln h to an Inch apart, ac i
cording to the strain Imposed.
The first strip ot tin Is put on at the
lower part ot the aperture, and the cement
put In until it reaches nearly to the top of
the tin. Then a second stri? is put or,
lapping over the other two or three Inches
and the two nailed together. Then more
cement la used, and so on until the cavity
la filled, the last strip of tin being bent
down while the final application of cement
la being puddled Into place and th cavity
entirely filled, and then It ts straightened
up and nailed In place. In case of extra
large cavities large sheets of tin or sheet
Iron ar nailed on th outside to prevent
the tin from bulging out, until the cement
has hardened, when they can be removed.
Th smaller the cavity the larger are the
strips of tin employed, as th strain Is
proportionstely leas In twenty-four hours'
time the cement will hav hardened com
pletely and the tin may all be removed.
This remedy Is spplled successfully to
fruit trees as well as shade trees. Mr.
Clarke has in his own dooryard an apple
tree 75 years old, to which a large quantity
of cement has been applied. This was don
at a cost of II. SO and the tree Is now bear
ing four different varieties of apples.
The largest fillings Mr. Clark ever put
In a tree were In th Jonathan Edwards
elm. In Northampton, In which three tons
of sand and cement were used. This tree
was planted more than ITS years ago by
Mr. Edwards in the early part of his min
istry In Northampton. The trunk Is now
about twenty-five feet in circumference
and formerly th tree had Immense spread
Ing branches and was on of the hand
tomet-t trees In the state. Much work
waa Involved In treating this tree, and the
expense amounted to about llii. The treo
Is preserved chiefly for its historic In
terest, Its beauty having been sadly Im
paired. New Tork Tribune.
GREAT ABYSSES OF OCEAN
AniaslaT Extent of the Dee Waters
aad Their Treioendoea
freeaere.
More than half the surface of the globo
Is hidden under water two miles deep;
T.cro.OcO square miles 11 at a depth of IS,
COO feet or more. Many places have been
found five miles and more In depth. The
greatest depth yet sounded Is tl.tO feet,
near the Island of Guam.
If Mount Everest, the world's highest
mountain, were picked from Its seat and
dropped into this spot the waves would still
roll 1000 feet above Its crest.
Into this terrific abyss the waters press
down with a force mor than 10,000 pounds
to the square Inch. The stanrhest ship ever
built would be crumbled under this swful
pressure like an eggshell under a steam
roller. .
A pine beam fifteen feet long, which held
open the mouth of a trawl used In making a
cast at a depth of more than 18.0H0 feet, was
crushed fat as If It had been pased be
tween rollers.
The body of the man who should attempt
to venture to such depths would be com
pressed until the flesh was forced Into th
Interstices of the bone and his trunk was
no larger than a rolling pin. HHil the bod
would r ach the bottom, for snythlng that
will sink in a tub of water will sink tu the
uttermost depths of the ocean.
