The steaming trials of the super dreadnought Florida are expected to eaiross the undivided attention of naval men this week. The interest in the trials la due partly to the fact that tli VtnrMa ! to be one of the largest and most formidable fighting machines afloat, but more especially because she is the first battleship to be ItMll In AVAram ant arH In m a nv years. A close comparison naturally will be made between her performances and those of her sister ship, tho Utah, which has just been turned out at a private yard. The Florida and the Utah are the latest and mightiest fighting units In the United States Navy and one or the other wilt supersede the Connecticut as the flagship of the North Atlantic fleet. If she comes up to the expectations of her constructors, 22 knots will be reeled off by tho Florida, propelled by the enormous turbine engines of the Parsons type. When he sjJIs she will represent an expen diture of nearly $10,000,000. As compared with the next largest ships in the United States Navy the Delaware and the North Dakota type the Florida and Utah are ten feet longer, 1825 tons greater displacement, on even terms as to the main battery, but with two more of the 5-inch guns in the second battery. When completely manned, the Florida will carry 940 men and 0 officers, and will have a larger steaming radius than any vessel now in commission.

Ixmdon Mall. ; Worth Mountains of Gold St the value Mrs. Charles Barclay of Granlteville, Vt., places upon Lydla E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound, so grateful was she for her restoration to health. . She says, "I was passing through the change of life and suffered from Ha effects with nervousness and other annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that LydU E. Pinkham's Vegetable compound proved worth mountains of gold to me, as It restored my health and strength, and for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my trouble public." . Women who are passing through this trying period should rely upon Lydla K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The Original Levers' Leap. Sappho's Leap was the name given to a white cliff or promontory anciently called Leucadia, now Cape Ducato. at the southern extremity of Santa Maura, one of the Ionian Islands. It was so called because Sappho, the poetess, is reported to have thrown herself from this height Into the sea. A criminal, with bieds attached to him to break his fall, was thrown from the cliff at the annual festival of Apollo, and if he reached the water unhurt he was picked up by boats placed there for that purpose. This is the rock from which, according to the storjr, lovers throw themselves In order to be free from the pangs of love. CHOLERA SCARE 'Much anxiety has been felt lately ever the. danger of introducing the dreaded Asiatic Cholera into this country, because of the immigration from the plague districts of Europe. It saps the strength of the body so fast that death often follows in a few hours. ; All forms of diarrhea and dysentery are very weakening. A Valdosta, Ga, woman, Mrs. C. H. King, tells how she regained her strength. She says "An attack of dysentery left me ao weak and exhausted that it seemed impossible to regain my strength. But since using one bottle of Vinol I am perfectly well again. Vlnol will do wonders for anyone who needs new strength and more flesh." There is no doubt at all that this delicious cod liver and iron remedy without oil possesses wonderful power to renew flagging strength and vitality and build up the body. If you are not as strong as you ought to be. you need Vlnol, and we guarantee that it w 111 build you up and make you etrong. Leo H. Flhe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind.

After the excellent bill of last week it would seem almost impossible for another bill as goodjto follow, but this week's Bhow promises to be equally as good as the one before and will no doubt attract capacity houses to the popular play house. Stanley and Scanlon have a rather bizarre musical turn that takes strongly. Mr. Stanley is an excellent instrumentalist while his partner is a genuinely funny comedienne. The Carr Trio, singers ar.d danceis. who will be remembered as having been with the North Bros. Stock, the criterion of the repertoire shows in the eyes of the Richmond treater going public, put on a singing and uuneing turn, introducing Master Cliffors Carr, America's foremost monologist. Dick and Alice McAvoy, who put on a clever tough skit "Herald Square Jimmy," are a scream from start to finish and numerous, curtain calls fall to them. Murray's dogs, a number of highly educated dogs, put on a number of stunts that show them to be carefully trained and amuse the older as well as the younger generation. At the Palace. Tonight and tomorrow "Twenty Years in Sing Smg" will be presorted in moving pictures at the Palace. This silent drama is a most interesting story and scored a decided success at Indianapolis and other cities, where it was shown. A great many imagine the entire production takes place in Sing Sing prison. Such is not the case. Horso races, beautiful scenery, love and pathos, abound. It should be a successful engagement.

Frank Dillman and Wife. Church Theaters. 1 Few people know that plays in England, Germany, Italy and France were fostered for religious purposes by the church centuries before they were taken up as a separate secular business. Moreover, few visitors to St. Paul's cathedral, in London, realize that that church during Elizabeth's reign and the first years of the reign of James I. set aside one of its adjacent buildlugs for use as a secular theater. Its little stage was famous, and the company of choir boys as actors presented many of the great plays of Shakespeare's time. They acted from about 1598 to ISC 8 under the management - M "11 .

Showers .of red rain have fallen more than once In the world's history. In the middle ages they were looked upon as awful omens of war and bloodshed, but nowadays we know the hue of the "rain of blood" to be due to the presence of a tiny red insect, a variety of water flea. Red rains are very rare, but In volcanic regions gray rain ts comparatively common. Sicily has had many showers of this shade. They are caused by the upper atmosphere being full of asb colored volcanic dost from Etna. This dust la lnflnitesimally line and colors the rain as It falls. A Good Age to Step At. A certain London merchant had for years given a dinner to his employees on the occasion of the birthday of his daughter. How long this custom had held may be gathered from the following. The head clerk of the office rose, as was also the custom, and proposed this toast: "Gentlemen, we 'enjoy this evening the felicity of celebrating, as we do every year, thanks to his generosity, the twenty-ninth birthday of the respected and always amiable daughter of our worthy employer.

THE LIFE OF THE CITY TREES

BY PROF. J. F. THOMPSON. It la generally known, I think, that plants are classified, as to the length of time they live into three kinds; vis., Annuals, biennials and perennials. This is convenient, although, insofar as the life of a plant is concerned, one kind is a perennial or lives as long as another. Common field wheat, which is a good example of an annual, Uvea as long as an oak, a good example of a perennial, and the oak is as annual as the wheat. The difference is more apparent than real. If we plant a grain of wheat in the spring. It will sprout, grow rapidly, flower and product seed before winter comes on. The stalk, roots and leaves become lifeless, but the seeds remain alive. The life of the whole plant has been concentrated in the seeds, and each seed contains a little plant, which if planted, the next season will grow and the resulting plant will be just like the one that apparently died last year, and this may go on year after year and the life of the wheat may thus continue like the oak for centuries. Plants like people get into a way of doing things, and as two people may each have a way of doing the same things but arrive at the same result, so two plants may arrive at the same result but in a different way. This habit of reducing its whole living matter to the limits of the seed is the way the wheat and all such plants have of getting through the winter season of the year. The life of the plant is not only thus continued from year to sear but the individual plants are many times multiplied, The plants we call biennials are slower m reaching their seed time or the time when the reproduction of the individual takes place. A plant like the common thistle requires two years before it can reproduce others of its kind. The first year the seed sprouts and a very short stem is formed with a mat of leaves which lies flat on the ground, and during the first year of its life it manufactures more food than it needs for that season and stores it away in the roots. The next year it sends up a stalk and by means of the food it stored away the year before, it is able to flower and produce seed into which it concentrates its entire living substance and then withers away. It accomplished just what the wheat accomplished, but it got through one winter in the tissues of a root under ground, and well protected leaves, but before the second winter came it not only had concentrated its living matter in its seed, but had learned how to pass one winter in plant tissues. Perennial plants like the trees are very slow in reaching the time when they can produce seed. The oak, for example, does not begin to produce seed until it is about seventy years old, the beech at about sixty years, the elm and maples at about forty years. Therefore these plants have had to learn how to bridge over winter in their tissues also, and by the time they have bridged over from forty to seventy winters in this way they have learned how. but iu that length of time they have become so large and contain so much living matter that it would be almost physically impossible to reduce themselves to seeds like the annuals or biennials and even if they could, the result would be more seeds than could be scattered and therefore a useless waste. During this forty or seventy years, however, they have been preparing to bear seed, and when they are ready, they bear seeds tor centuries. They have learned how to adapt themselves to summer and winter, storm and sun, dry seasons and wet and we call them perennial. In our first article we tried to show that in all the essentials of life, trees are not so very much unlike other living things, but a tree is not alive in all of its parts as animals are. An animal is alive through and through, while a tree is not. That portion, of a tree which we call heart wood is dead or rather it has no living matter in it. That portion which we call sap wood is alive. In most instances the two may be easily distinguished by the color. The heart wood is usually darker than the sap wood. Besides the sap wood, the bark or bast wood is alive. What we usually call the bark is not real bark but a sort of epidermis which covers the real bark. Then between the bast or true bark and the sap wood there is a layer of living cells called the Cambium layer. This layer is made up of real living, working plant-matter. Every year this Cambium layer of cells adds a ring of wood to the heart of the tree as well as forms a new bark, and every year therefore, the lifeless heart wood Increases in diameter. This zone of living matter in a tree behaves much like the Chambered Nautilus. Every time it builds a new place in which to dwell it abandons the old, and this abandoned chamber in the tree is the Good Spring Tonic "We have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for a spring tonic ar.d as a blood purifier. Last spring I was not well at all. When I went to bed I was tired and nervous and could not sleep well, in the morninw I would feel twice as tired: my mother got a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I took. I felt like a new person when I had finished that bottle. W always have some of Hood's medicines in the house." Hilvey Roselle, Marinette, Wis. There is no "just as good" medicine.

annual ring. Not only each year is a new ring of wood added to the old, but a new bark ia formed each year, but in most cases clinging to the trees and gradually shed. In addition to this narrow zone of life in a tree, that is, around its trunk and every branch, but all of the buds are alive and the tips of the roots. In the sammer or growing season, the leaves are alive and the ends of the growing branches, but the great bulk of the trea is without life, the region we cannot see, the heart wood, or that which is valuable as lumber. This lifeless region is of advantage to the tree, however, in that It gives it stability and strength. That the interior of a tree is without life will be manifest when we remember that trees often become hollow, the entire heart rotting away, leaving nothing but the living zone, and the reason that all trees do not become hollow is that the interior is so thoroughly sealed up by the zone of living tissue. But whenever or wherever this heart wood is exposed to the weather then and there will decay set In. This heart wood may be exposed in a good many ways. Sometimes trees, like the sycamore send out such powerful roots from the base of, the tree that they exert a sort of pull in all directions which causes the tree to split at the base and the air and water get at the heart wood in that way; sometimes the wind breaks the top off a tree and the heart wood is exposed so that the tree gets hollow from the top ddwn; sometimes the wind or snow breaks a branch off. and the tree gets hollow from the side, and birds and squirrels make theii homes here; sometimes a horse may gnaw through the bark and sap wood and expose the interior. Those who have occasion to remove a branch from a tree should never forget that they are always exposing this heart wood which will decay if left ex posed and this is not all nor the greatest danger for fresh living tissue is also exposed which may render the whole tree a prey to some fungus disease. Trees may at any time be attacked by insect pests and destroyed, but they are not liable to be destroyed by disease if the living tissue and heart wood are not exposed.
