base in the top of the "neck" The
leaves are similar in size and shape |
to those Of a cherry tree, but their
color and consistency are much
lighter. The spread of the branches
and foliage form regularly shaped
dome of about 40 feet in diameter
and of moderate density, giving
ample shade from the rays of the
sun. Those bottle trees grow in
groves from 10 to 80 in each, and are
not less than 100 feet apart from
each other, although other trees in
tervene in places. There is gen
orally good pasturage, and very lit
tie underground of bushes where
bottle trees grow. Their appearance
on the landscape is very striking
and unique, but there is a quaint
beauty in the tout ensemble never
theless; and the tree, although
strange, is rather handsome in the
spread of its foliage. Even the
elephantine appearance of the trunk
is not unhandsome when the eye
becomes accustomed to its shape.
Several attempts have been made
to have bottle trees transplanted to
botanical gardens in Sydney, Mel
bourne, Adelaide and other Austria
liam cities, but little success has at
tended these efforts. There are
however, two small specimens in the
Brisbane, Queensland, gardens; but
whether these were transplanted
from their native wilds or grown
from seeds, the writer did not learn
Bottle trees cast seeds once year
but, from the great scarcity of young
specimens around the old trees, il
may be inferred that the seeds are
not fruitful.
We would recommend to the con
SENATORS Of the Hawaiian Govern
ment nursery that an application be
made to the curator Of the Brisbane
Queensland, government botanlca
gardens for seeds or cuttings of Thu
singular tree, in order that it may
be grown in these islands and be
come one of our exotics. If the in
PRODUCTION of the Australian bottle
tree could become a success in Homo
lulu, the city would have one othe
attraction to visitors from abroad
which could not fail to be impress
sive on account of it's strange anC
yet comely appearance.

THAT Skating Rink Meeting.

That Skating Rink Meeting.
Mr.. EDITOR: The meeting at the
rink on the 10th inst. confirms my
belief in the story of burning
bush"-a bush not of Mount Sinai
but of Mount Deception. In all It's
bearings the above meeting was a
political clap-trap and farce got up
to amuse the reporters in general
and Dan Lyons in particular
Now, everybody knows the native
vote is of no account without foreign
support, and foreigners are deter,
mined to stand up for liberal ana
enlightened measures. They want
for the people men of experience
tact, and ability, to protect pub1c
interests in the halls of the Leglsla-
tive Assembly-men OF character
trust and honor, to advocate the IN
terests of natives and foreigners
alike. and not shysters who would
sell the trust reposed in them for
more or less than nickel to suit
their own ends, just as Judas Is
CARROT sold his Lord and Master.

A HAWAIIAN ELECTOR.

THE DAILY
THE AUSTRALIAN BOTTLE TREE.

Among the singular and rare
plants of the world is the Australian
bottle tree, an indigenous tree of a
limited portion of tropical Queens
land and found nowhere else in Aus
tralia or on the globe. The native
habitat of this peculiar specimen of
vegetation is on the eastern coast
range of mountains within the par
aIlels of Is and q degrees Of south
latitude. The soil on which it grows
is dry, the areas are level to a linn
tied extent, and elevated above sea
level over 1000 feet.
This tree takes It's name from the
shape Of its trunk, which is wonder
fully like the outlines of giant
bottle of the common order. The
thick part of the trunk from the
ground upward is from SO to go feet
high, from 80 to 40 feet in circum-
ference and quite straight up to
where the neck tapers to the spread
ing foliage above all. The bark of |
the trunk is about 5 feet thick, of
brown color and of cork-like con-
sistency. The foliage, which is very
graceful, spreads from the top of the
tree, and the branches have their

CELEBRATIONS.

National anniversaries and hOli
days, are very differently kept in the
several leading nations Of the world
some of these celebrations being
made as highly impressive as pos
sible, and accompanied with as many
imposing ceremonies and pageantry
as circumstances will admit IN the
several localities where the celebra-
tons are held. AS general rule
the lower the latitude the greater
display upon these occasions, and
the more excitement. In Europe,
where these ceremonies first origin
ated, the most imposing are in
France, especially in Paris. Indeed
all the Latin races are fond of dis
play and excitements of all kinds.
The north Germans, and also the
Scandinavians, have very much fewer
of these displays; nor do these
nationalities carry them to such ex-
tremes, except upon very rare occa-
sions.
In Great Britain, the Queens
birthday is the chief national holi-
day of the year; but there are sell
dom any professions, or any burning
of gunpowder. Near to the small
towns there are sometimes bonfres,
and a few squibs and crackers are
let off by boys; but beyond that,
there is little or no exuberance seen
in public. The municipal flags wave
all day upon these occasions, and the
British ensign is displayed upon the
shipping in seaports; but it is sell
dom that other bunting is seen on
the Queens birthday in the British
Isles. The stores and business
places are closed and, if the weather
be propitious as is generally the case
on the oath of May, the inhabitants
of the towns go picnicking to the
country. Unless during war times
when some unusual British military
struggle is pending, the inhabitants
of the slight little island" make very
little military display on their ma
tional holidays. Merrymaking, out
door sports and pastimes, family re-
unions, and similar diversions are in
dulged in to a large extent; but
there is no public speaking upon
these occasions, no public laudation,
nor any public display of national
1t never occurs to the
British public that anybody could |
possibly doubt the superior military |
and naval strength of the British |
empire; and playing at soldiers"
rs they term reviews of troops, is not
heir way of establishing prestige.
OF all nationalities In the world,
here are none that compare with
he United States in military and
,ratorial display upon national occa-
ions that, within the past two or
hree decades, have become very
and bid fair to increase
argely in the future. The national
olicy, upon every recurring ami
ersary, IS to make the present out
hine the previous one; and, if this
raclice were to continue for several
ecadss more, the Imagination be-

with t~ear-stained faces and clasped

so devout that if there was lurking in

the faith OF many people in the ''effi-

From this I was driven to the local
ity of the Conemaugh yards, just above
the city, where the former tracks OF the
Pennsylvania road can be seen, with
the ties standing IN end in the middle
of the river and on the hillside; then
to the camp, and walked around among
the men who were busily engaged clear
ing away the debris. There are about
fifteen hundred at work now, and it is
very interesting to watch the different
kinds OF steam shovels and machines
that are used.
The state authorities seem to be doing
all they can to help not only those in
distress, but those DESTROYS of helping
themselves. And hat the relief fund
is being distributed with comparative
justice, l firmly believe, as every act
of the committee seems to be given the
utmost publicity. The little cottages
that are now being built by Chicago
citizens are furnished to each family

JoHNsTOwN, Pa, Aug. Especial
to THE BEE.l-Perhaps there is no time
in a summers day more delightful than
when the cool, gray dawn is just begin
ming to give way to the warmth OF a
rising sun, with just a lingering hint OF
early GOODNESS to keep off languor under
the splendid influence of a July morn
ing. Some such thoughts came to me
as. at the ''peep Of day,"I left Pittsburg
on the Pennsylvania railroad, in COM
pany with a party Of six en- route to
Atlantic City. Our first stop was at
Johnstown, where we were met by a
young friend who had provided a con-
eyauc to take US over the city and
along the wiley as far as our time and
inclination would permit.
Long before you reach Johnstown the
effects of ''the late disaster" can be
seen, railroad iron twisted out Of shape,
broken cars, parts OF houses, together
with trees, roots u%pturned, are thrown
in masses-the whole mixed with mud
to the depth Of several feet, in many
places, meet the eye at every turn.
One never could be prepared for the
pitiful sights in and around many Of
the desolate homes, and you IA have
no appreciation of the great distress
and horror of the surroundings.
l first entered the tent where the
Women's Relief committee were
stationed, dealing out the regu-
lation amount to the poor,
homeless victims, who stand in line, and
with hungry glances watch their chance
to push forward and grasp the portion
intended for them. / was invited in

detail, admired the systematic manage
ment on the part Of the ladies, and was
touched to observe the feeling shown
towards the poor half crazed people. L
talked with many OF them as they came

| terials upon which to base a thrilling
story, about which volumes could be
written-and then many things untold.
Then l went into a building which had

found twenty-five or thirty injured ones
| who were being cared for by the Catho-
lie sisters. Two of them had just passed
into the beyond, attended by the sisters

that must ever be the envy OF the
world.

physicians, ana saw the manne in

with great consideration. The
female physicians OF Chicago,
about whom so much has

praise. They are noble, grand women,
in spite OF their medical education, and
are doing a glorious work, without a
hope OF praise or thought of remunera-
ton.
