The 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 Queensland, and
found nowhere else in Australia or on
the globe. The native habitat of this
peculiar specimen of vegetat ion is on
the eastern coast range of mountains
within the parallels of Is and 81 de.
grees of south latitude. The soil on
which it grows is dry. the areas are
level to limited extent. and elevated
above sea level over 1000 feet.
This tree takes its name from the
shape of its trunk. which is wonder.
fully like the outline, of a giant bottle
OF the common order. The thick part
of the trunk from the ground upward
is from fifty to sixty feet high, from
thirty to forty feet in circumference,
and quite straight up to where the neck
tapers to the spreading foliage above
all. The bark of the tree is about three
feet thick, of brown color and of
cork.like consis tency. The foliage,
which is very graceful, spreads from
the top of the tree, and the branches
have their base in the top of the 'neck."
The leaves are similar in size and shape
to those of cherry tree. but their
color and consistency are much lighter.
The spread of the branches and foliage
form regular shaped dome of about
forty feet in diameter and of moderate
density. giving ample shade from the
rays of the sun.
Those bottle trees grow in grooves from
ten to thirty in each, and are not less
than 100 feet apart from each other,
although other trees intervene in places.
There is generally good pasturage and
very little underground of bushes where
bottle trees grow. Their appearance
on the Ian dscape is very striking and
unique, but there is a quaint beauty in
the tout ensemble, nevertheless; and the
tree, although strange. is rather hand
some in the spread of its foliage. Even
the elephantic appearance of the trunk
is not unhandsome when the eye be-
comes accustomed to its shape.

Animals Recognize Pictures.

Thirty years ago, says a correspondent
at Oxford, England, I was staying at
Langley, near Chippenhsm, with lady
who was working a large screen, on which
she depicted in raised" work (as it was
then called ife-sized cat on cushion.
The host, a sportsman now dead, was
much struck with the similarity to life of
the cat, so he fetched his dog (alas! like
too many of the species), a cat-hater.
The animal made q dead set at the
(wooD cat, and, but for the master clutch
ing him by the collar, the cushion would
have been torn into atoms. l related this
tale lately in Oxford, and my nearer told
me that friend in the Bevington road
had just painted bird on fre-screen
and her cat few at it. My own dog,
Scaramouch pet of the Duke of Albany's
in his undergraduate days., disliked
BENZ washed, and when l showed him q
large picture of child scrubbing a fox
terrier in tub, he turned his head away
ruefully and would not look at his brother

New YOrk's Italian Colony.

Not few of the Italians who have
been pouring into New York within
recent years have already reached fair
state of prosperity. At least three
quarters of them all begin life here as
laborers, but many of these laborers are
of very economical habits, and save Q
small proportion of their daily wages.
Then they strive to get into some other
line CT work or take hold of some kind
of small business. There are now hun
dreds of shops in the city kept by ltal-
ians who landed here penniless, and
who have ways Of attracting trade that
are not possessed by many of the immi-
grants from ether countries. Italians
hold meetings from time to time, and
the appearance Of the people who are to
be seen at them gives evidence of the
fact that they have found New York to
be place In which they can improve
their condition in life. -New York Sun.

A Martyr to Enterprise.

Those who are fond of seeing the
magnificent Photographic views of
mountain heights which are now on ex-
hibition in the picture shops dc not
realize the daring that is required to
procure them. One of the boldest of
these mountain photographers was Mr..
Donkin. His views of the Alps are
famous, and he set out year ago to
duplicate his achievements with the
camera in the monarchs of the Caucasus.
In ascending Mount Dychtan. however,
the adventurous photographer fell a
martyr to his enterprise. For a long
time it was known that he had been
killed, but the manner of his death was
in doubt and there were painful rumors
current that he had been slain by the
natives. But to ascertain the facts a
party led by Mr.. Dent, the president of
the British Alpine Club, climbed Mount
Dychtan to search for evidence. They
found the Photographic outfit of the
unfortunate man at the brink of preci-
pice under such circumstances as to
leave no doubt that he and his compan-
