Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-08-07

The vegetable and plant life on the
Canary Islands has not so luxurious a
growth as that which is found on the
variety of interesting plants which will
repay the attention of botanists, and
some parts of the islands are like beauti-
full gardens.
OF all the botanical wonders which
can be seen there, the one which is
perhaps most worthy of special mention
is the dragon tree. Alexander Won Hum
boldt was the first one to direct attention
to this gigantic tree.
The example of this kind of tree which
was measured by him was in the garden
region of Oratova, on the northern coast
of the island of Teneritfe, and had a
trunk circumference of seventy-nine feet.
Humboldt reckoned its age to be ten
thousand years, but the latest critical re-
searches prove that he placed the age
much too high.
The next largest tree of this species,
which is known to-day, is the dragon
tree of Icod de los Binos, on the western
coast of Teneriife. This tree was care
fully measured in 1857, and again in 1884.
The first time the circumference of the
trunk, at the height of little less than
.Aree metres from the ground, was found
to be nine and one-half metres; twenty
seven years later it was eleven metres,
seventy centimetres more than thirty
eight feet. The tree, therefore, has been
proved to increase in size much more
rapidly than Humboldt supposed The
top of this tree is of clusters of sword
shaped leaves ON rather soft, pliable
branches, and spreads out in a very pic
turesque manner.

A Savings Bank Story.

There is an impression abroad that
much money is lying unclaimed in the
savings banks of the State. But money
is n thing that is not lost sight of to any
extent, either in savings or other banks.
There may be periods of dormancy in
the claims made for it; often it is left by
design. An instance of that kind oo-
cured last week at the National Savings
Bank of Albany, which was twenty-one
years old on Saturday last The first saw
ings bank pass book, No. 1, issued by it
for 81, 900 was presented. 1t was money
deposited in 1869 for his then infant son
by father and now, at his majority, the
son brought the book for settlement, and
has principal and accumulated interest
compounded Tor twenty one years at his
own personal command, and yet the bank
officers had not seen the book since it was
first given out, although they knew that
the father was dead and that the son was
living and growing up an estimable
young man, worthy of his parentage.
Had the son died his heir would have
claimed the deposit and interest by legal
right as theirs. Il Albany On. W Argus

A Butterfy's Keen Scent.

A gentleman in New York, the owner
of one of the finest collections of butter
flies in the country, has made an expert
ment which proves conclusively that but
terAies are endowed not only with bright
colors, but with marvellously acute
senses. Out of his collection, comprising
every known variety, he chose two but
terfies which were only two or three days
old, and had never had their freedom.
One of these he attached securely by
thread to the fence in the rear of his
house in the upper part of New York.
He marked the other so that he could
identify it, and placing it in small box
carried it down town to one of the ferries,
across the river to Hoboken, and some
distance into the city of Hoboken.
Here it was turned loose. When the
experimenter reached his house, several
hours later, he found the two butterflies
side by side on his back fence. The but
terf1y which was but just born and bad
never before had its liberty, had travelled
several miles, crossed a wide river, and
promptly found its way back to its mate
in one of those back yards of New York
which are almost indistinguishably alike
in their ugliness.
This seemed a most extraordinary feat
to one of party of gentlemen to whom
the story was told by the experimenter,
and he asked well-known naturalist
whether it could be believed. The nat
uralist answered that the sense of smell,
which was undoubtedly in this case the
the butterly's guide, was in many api.

OPIUM IN LETTUCE.
The Dangerous Friend of Sleep Lies
in Wait Everywhere.

Opium may be grown in almost any
temperate or tropical cline. Persia
produces great deal, so do Arabia and
Egypt. Large quantities are raised in
Germany, some is grown in France, and
even Italy and Spain contribute a share
to the annual production. Attempts
have been made to raise it in the United
States, and although only in part sue
cessful, the failure was not due to any
deficiency in soil or unfavorable ten
dency in climate, bit rather to the fact
that hand labor is almost indispensable
for its production, and, in this country,
hand labor is SO expensive that the
United States opium cannot compete
in the markets of the world with that
raised in Oriental countries.
The largest portion of the worlds
crop is grown in Turkey, China and In
dia, the last-named producing more
opium than any other two countries.
of territory 200 miles wide by 900 in
length, which seems particularly suited
to the production of the opium poppy,
and in this district opium is grown al
most to the exclusion of other crops.
So far in advance is India, when com
pared with other opium producing coun.
tries, that while the crop of Turkey, the
next most productive, has not been
known to exceed 10000 baskets of
three or four pounds weight, that of In
dia is more than 100, 900 chests, each
containing 100 pounds of the product.
Opium is made from several varieties
of the poppy, even the common lettuce
of our gardens containing a proportion
of the deadly drug, proportion which,
although small, is sufficient to impart to
this esculent its sleep-giving quality
There are several kinds of the poppy
which produce opium in abundance,
and opium growers in different coun-
tries have their preferences, the excel
lence of the plant for the purpose in
tended being probably due to qualities
of soil, for the best opium poppies Of
India, when sown in China, produce an
opium by no means equal to that of
their native soil.
The plant is known in mythology and
history, and even the ancients knew the
sleep giving poppy, the emblem at once
of forgetfulness and death. Formerly
all portions of the plant save the root
were used in the manufacture of opium,
the plants being cut, dried and pow
dered. But the opium so obtained was
weak, and ingenuity soon set to work
to devise ways and means for obtaining
stronger and better article of the prod

Georgia. The gold fields of these two
States were at times of quite respectable
proportions, and yielded now and then q
nugget Of large size. The most valuable
OF these was that found In Cabarras
county, N. e., in 1910. 1t weighed 2e
pounds avoirdupois, OF 81 pounds l444
ounces) troy. Gold was first found in
North Carolina in 1895, the aggregate
output upto the end of 1927 being $1l0,-
900. Cola mining was successfully prose-
cuted in Virginia in 1928, the mint de-
posits in that State in that year being
b, 500. The first deposits of Georgia
gold were made year later to the amount
of $212, 900. 1t may somewhat surprise
the Chronicles readers to learn that the
total amount of Southern gold deposited
at the mints and assay Offices of the
United States from the opening of the
mines to the end of 1878, when most of
the veins were abandoned, reached the
