TREE WITH HISTORY ( J Recent Destruction of Three Ancient Elms in Boston v '" Steps for Preservation, One of the moat significant facta in the prevailing" activity for local and na tional Improvements is the growing In terest In tree preservation. Old and historic treea, excopt In a ff(w laolated caaea, have never been regarded with more devotion- than at the present time A popular love of nature is abroad. It has found expression not only In the jealous care bestowed upon certain in dividual trees, but in the demand for state and national forest reservations, In New York and Boston the subject of tree preservation has appealed powerfully to the popular mind. Here the sacrifice of hundreds of shade trees Along the route of the underground rail way comes as a heavy blow to many of the residents of the city, while the peo ple of Boston about the same time ex perienced the shock of realizing that the old elma on their historic common were In danger of annihilation through decay and lack of proper care. In fact, three large elms, dating bock before Revolutionary days, had to bo cut down They were the noblest survivors of Amerlcah ' elma on the common since the famous common elm was blown down in a gale of 1876. English elms have been planted in their places, and steps have been taken to prevent the transformation of the historic little park and playground Into a miniature prairie. Tha famous dwarf glngko tree still remains, dear to the heart or every noKtoplan and lover of Holmes, for the letter Immortalized the tree in nis "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." Carlisle Fines. It la also of interest to note the per manent preservation of the celebrated Waverly oaks and the majeetlo Carlisle pines, accomplished primarily through the efforts of the Appalachian Mountain Club. Of the Waverly oaks It has been ,sald that there Is not another group of Mich ' noble trees in the Eaatern states. Their age has been estimated at from 400 to SOi) years. James Itussel Lowell, who made a careful study of one that was cut down over 60 years ago. said he counted 750 rings in tho base of the trunk. These survivors of tho forest primeval are In the Beaver Brook Park reservation, a short distance from Bos ton. There are over 60 acres In the park, and It was the first to be ac quired by the Metropolitan Park Com mission, which was created in 1803. Tho Carlisle pines, which were saved from all dangor of destruction about two years ago, stand In a little reserva tion of 10 litres. 20 miles from Boston. The Appalachian Mountain Club Is cus todian of the property. The trees are white pines, and the group Is the only remaining one of the extensive white pine forest which covered a large part of New England In aboriginal days. The difficulties of tree preservation were illustrated a few weeks ago in Hartford, when despite popular appeals the old Wadsworth elm, or Wash ington elm. as It was also familiarly called, was cut down, owing to Its decayed condition. The elm stood In front of the Wadsworth Athenaeum and in 1894 the Sons of the American Revolution placed a bronze shield upon the trunk recording the fact that Wash' ington was entertained there by Cap tain Jeremiah Wadsworth on June 29( 1775, while on his way to Cambridge to take command of the American army. Since the loss of the Charter Oak this elm was the most historic tree In Hart ford. It was badly decayed, and when the trunk was cut through It wns found thnt the live wood was barely two inches thick. The fear that the vener able elm might fall during a storm led the municipal authorities to oraer its flemolition. A large section of the trunk has been placed in the rooms of the Connecticut Historical Society. Tha Charter Oak. The Charter Oak, although it Is now nearly half a century since a great storm hurled It to the ground, still Uvea not only in memory but in countless souvenirs shaped from Its wood and, better yet, in two vigorous offshoots, now sturdy and graceful trees growing id Bushnell Park, Hartford. Since Mark Twain uttered the facetious re mark that ttie bridge over the Connecti cut River at Hartford was built entirely of Charter Oak timbers, a natural sus picion has been directed against Charter Oak souvenirs. In the city of its home, however, one may see some handsome pieces of tho original tree. The Con necticut Historical Society possesses several, but the finest specimen is In the capitol. It is a chair mode wholly from Charter Oak, exquisitely carved, and is occupied by the speaker of the Senate during the legislative sessions. The old Connecticut charter is still sheltered Within tire tee s it was In 1687, only instead of being secretly hid in the great cavity it is now in a box riiade from wood which was carefully selected after the destruction of the oak. Many estimates have, been made of the probable age of the historic tree, and from 900 to 1,000 years have been accepted by many botanists. This Is In accordance with Dryden, who says "The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees.
