An Iowa inventor has designed a tree 
protector formed of woven wire attached 
to metal strips giving it strength, with hooks 
to fasten it around the tree, the top of the 
protector being formed of a flexible piece 
of fabric to bind the tree closely and pre 
vent insects from crawling up into the 
branches. 
Sicily abounds in aromatic herbs; the 
peppermint, the true mint, and the large 
coarse mint, which is very handsome; the 
sage, the thyme, the vermouth; the rose- 
mary, the rud. and a dozen of high medi- 
cinal value grew wild in profusion in the 
south of Sicily, and every poor Sicilian 
connected with the country understands 
how to make decoctions irom them for 
the cure of the dreaded fever, which is, 
however, not prevalent in most parts of 
Sicily except in the marshes. The towns 
if their sanitation were better, would be 
very healthy. 
The Parisians delight in the most lavish 
floral decorations, but it is doubtful if 
they have any idea where all the flowers 
come from. They will now have an op- 
portunity of learning, ns a new garden of 
the Ville de Paris, a sort of state nursery, 
is about to be inaugurated. Covering an 
area of 100,000 meters, there is ample 
space f >r the eighty huge conservatories, 
the pavilions, promenades, not to men- 
tion a very beautiful fountain, surmounted 
by a masterpiece of Dalou, “The Triumph 
of Bacchus ” The place is a fairyland of 
tropical loveliness, a fairyland that has 
cost the VTlle de Paris $400,000.
