The Useful Camanba Tree.

The camanba is certainly wonder
full tree, according to a report made to
the State Department by Consul Burke
of Bahia. 1t grows i'll the northern
States of Brazil, near the Amazon
River. Every part of it-root, rootlet,
branch, and trunks available; it is
indispensable for the natives in build
ing and roofing their huts, making
fences, ETC., while the articles made
from it supply them with food, light
and medicine. 1t is species of palm
tree and grows in dry, sandy soil.
The bulb (the size depending upon
the size of the tree) is strongly fari-
naceous, and when dried and ground
produces a kind of fariScha used for
food by the natives, while the rootlets
of the bulb are used for medicine. pos
sessing a strong cathartic property.
The trunk, while the tree is young
contains a soft oledginous substance.
something like marrow; this is good
for cattle, sheep, goats, and hogs.
After the tree tttlins growth of sew
eral years the trunk becomes very
hard and can then be used for build
ing purposes. The lower part of the

to 10 or II feet, are chiefly used for
fences They are wide and fiat at the
bottom and tapering toward the top
with short hard, and very sharp thorns
at the edges, in appearance not unlike
the mouth of a sawtish. The fence
made from this material isvery strong.
The leafy part of the branch, when
cut and sun dried, gives an exudation
which appears on the fan-like leaf or
blade. 1t is tenacious substance pos
SesSing properties very similar to bees
wax. This was is extensively used for
making candles. The leaf or blade
has a fiber from which hats mats,
baskets, rope brooms, busters, etc,
are made. When the eXudation is
scraped from the blades of palm the
branches are used for roofing huts and
small houses and for protecting brick
walls from the fierce rays of the sun,
as well as from the rain. The fruit of
the tree is sweet and palatable. The
kernel or seed is pounded to powder
and used III infusion in place of coffee.

Electric Railways.

Professor Elihu Thompson. in speak
Ing on The Problems of the Future,
says: In the near future railways
will be run by electricity; not the
small roads, | mean, but really the
large ones connecting cities, and there
is no reason why we should not expect
higher speed than we can attain at
at present with our steam locomotives.
There we have reciprocating parts that
must be put in motion, stopped and
reversed continually, while in the
electric locomotive we have the simple
rotary motion, which makes it possible
accordingly to run at much higher
rate of speed. Although the steam
locomotive has been very much inn
proved, yet it can hardly compare with
the economy of stationary engines,
placed where they can have an abund-
ant water supply for condensing pur-
poses. We can therefore, by employ
ing stationary engines and electric
roads, do away with great deal of I'M
necessary weight, and the moving
parts being symmetrical, we can attain
a much higher speed, say a hundred
miles an hour. This would he a grand
step forward, which would save us q
great deal of time. 1t might even be
possible to reach speed of $50 miles
an hour; it simply depends upon find.
ing the method of applying sufficient
power, and building the locomotives to
suit, arran gements being adopted to
keep the cars on the track.

PARALYZED BY A SCRATCH.
Peculiar Experience of a Maine Man {
the Field OF Battle.

Il have read of men being paI2lyzed
by wound and unable to move" said
a wellknown prominent Maine office
holder to Il reporter of the Lewiston
Journal, and believe it. know that
there have been many cases of the kind,
and one of them in particular has such
personal twist that have good rea-
son to remember.
1T was at the battle of Chantilly, in
the early part of the fight. We had
approached low. rambling fence-a

splinter fly from a piece of that fence

flying wood | seemed to find time to
dodge. and then there was a quick pain
like the soaring of hot iron aud the
splinter was through my hat-band and
along my scalp, penetrating ii, but not
injuring the skull.

up beneath me, and in moment my
strength was gone and | was power

me. Men trampled upon me. Horses

clouded, but there was /, dying a

The Wolves of Russia.

1t is officially estimated that no
fewer than 170, 900 wolves are roaming
at large in Russia, and that the inhab-
itants of the Eologda last year killed
no fewer than 40, 600. and of the Casan
district 2l,000. In the Canadian
Northwest there are also wolves. but
these are not. like the European ones,
of a very dangerous character. The
COYOTES are. however. at times very
troublesome on the plains. especially TO
flocks of sheep. Some time ago Sir
John Lister-kaye imported a number
of Belgian and French wolfhounds and
Scotch deerhounds for the purpose of
hunting down these coyotes. while
other breeds of dogs have also been
tried with fair success. By means of
these the number of coyotes has been
much reduced. as many as seventeen
having been brought down in a single
day on the Cochrane ranch. The
hounds are. however, scarcely fast
enough, and with a view to giving
them a greater turn of speed Dan
Gordon. the veterinary surgeon of OF
tawa. Canada. has just imported two
of the fastest and best-bred greyhounds
ever shipped from England-namely,
Justinian, by Cui Bono. out of Stylish
Lady. and Jestsam, by Royal Stag, out
of CuStaway.

A Buhach Plantation.

The work of gathering and drying
the buhach blossoms is in full blast at
the buhach plantation, says the Merced
(Cal.) Star. About one hundred men
are scattered through the fields pick
ING the blossoms. As fast as they are
picked they are slowed away about
two inches deep in wooden boxes, the
boxes being two and one-half feet
square. Wagons are employed in
hauling the boxes to the drying house
Probably it is called drying house
because it is alongside of the spot where
the drying is done. Certainly no arti-
fetal heat is needed at the buhach
plantation to dry anything at this time
of the year. The suns rays come
down within the inclosure of big
popular trees with force that makes
it pleasant to stand from under. The
trays are allowed to lie there, the
blossoms being stirred up by Il force of
men until they, the blossoms, are fairly
cured. Afterward they are placed on
a large platform about sixty feet
square, where they remain until dry,
and then are sent TO the reduction
works, where they are ground into
dust. This is done by men who are
proof against sneezing. otherwise it
could not be done at all. Whether or
not. it makes flies and mosquitoes
sneeze we don't know, but it is GER
tainly the best preventive in use to
keep those insects at distance.
