partment through inducements pur-
porting to give us more than the

facturer thereof Offers the purchaser

production, as an iuducement to buy,

The most gigantic ornament of the
African forests, and one of the most in
the world is the baobab tree. The shores
and islands of Lake Ngami were stud
ded here and there by single trees or
groups of baobabs, towering like castles
with their trunks and bare, leailess arms
above the other trees, looking somewhat
gray and rough like granite rocks, and
then smooth and metallic, where the old
bark peeling off had exposed the new
and allowed its peculiar coppery tint to
shine through, giving Il large portion,
according to the light or shade, a red,
or yellow-gray, OF deep purple tone. No
external attack-even iire-seems to in
jure this tree; it is not easily injured
from within, and when it is cut down
it continues to grow in length while
lying on the ground, and the roots,
which extend fifty yards from the trunk
keep their vitality.
AdanSOu in his description of the baO-
bah or monkey-bread tree OF Senegal,
states its diameter at thirty feet. giving
ninety feet of circumference, and a
height of from seventy-liVe to eighty as
the average size of full grown trees. He

the pyramids of Egypt. The spreading
branches sometimes droop so much with
their weight, and that of their dense
foliage, that the stem is hidden from
sight, and only the enormous mass of
verdure is seen, often $50 feet through
and seYenty-fiVe feet or more III height.
The fruit is eatable; the pulp Is sweet
and of an agreeable flavor; the juice,
when extracted and mixed with sugar,
forms IA beverage very useful IN the pu-
trld and pestilential feVers Of the COun-
try. The fruit is transported into the
eastern and southern parts of Africa,
and the Arabs pass it on to the coun-
tries round Morocco, whence it finds its
way into Egypt. The negroes take part
of the damaged fruit and the ligneous
bark and burn them for the sake Of the
ashes, from which they manufacture
soap 10y means of palm-oll. They make
"a still more singular use Of the trunk of
the baobab; they expose upon 1t the
bodies of those among them whom they
consider worthy of more than the ordl-
macy honOrs of sepulture. They select
the trunk of some baObab already at
tackled and followed out by insects or
fungi; they increase the cavity, and
make in the trunk a kind of chamber,
in which they suspend the body. Tins
done, they close up the entrance of this
natural tomb with Il plank. The body
becomes perfectly dry in the interior OF
this cavity, and forms "A perfect num-

optical peculiaTities are known to
exist in the making Of observations in
relation to the color of stars. Professor
Strive found that Sir William Her

was George, Duke Of Marlborough,
who was an amateur astronomer, and
possessed good sight in other respects.
Others have had this singular physical
defect in regard TO particular colors
