water from the soil il which it sands This
alone is often enough to purify fevar district
the super a1ous missma breeding moisture in the
es, th bcir absor I'd b7 the tres. Experim ents
with eucalyptus planting in missnatic regions
htve given surprising results. The vicinity If
the Convent Dele tre Fontane, near Rome, WAS
one of the most peatiantal spots in Italy, but
monks sont there In 1868 to plant groves of thes
trees made it healthfll region within i've YEARS.
On q farm near the Alg arian borders, where pre-.
viousiy no human being could live for any
length Of time 200 eucalyptus plants SO: IN 1857
have coun.erscted every tendency 10 fever.
Similar experiments have been successful also in
Alslcs and Lorraine. The home OF the tree is
in Australia sud Tasmsnia 1t composts in great
measure the forests of uitra.is. In Caliiornia
all varieties OF the tree are to be fund. It is
planted there chiefly on account of its rapid
growth, to ob.sln shade and woodland on some
