in our changeable climate, Lieutenant
George p. Colvocoresses, United States Navy,
h cad of the department of drawing at the
Naval Academy, was requested to draw up
O new design embodying the original de-
sign as closely as possible. How well he
has succeeded can be Judged from the above
cut.
The base is of the same dimensions as the
original Arctic cairn, is to be built out of
granite and will resemble it as closely as
can be done in this climate. The dimen-
sions of base are % feet long, II feet wide
and 10 feet high. All the upper portion of
the monument will be built out of the best
white marble, the cross being u feet high.
Shortly after the first news was received
of the loss of the Jeanette and of the find
ing of the De Long party the officers sta
toned in Washington were called together,
when they decided to raise funds to erect a
monument at the Naval Academy in MEN,
DRY of their heroic death. A committee
was appointed and the officers and men of
the navy were requested to subscribe. BY
January !, 1885, the sum of S2573 80 had
been subscribed, which was altogether too
small to build such monument as the CON-
mittee thought should be built, so the COM
mittee did nothing. Most of the money had
been invested in bonds, as will be seen
from summary taken from the books of
the Secretary and Treasurer, Paymaster
John r. Carmody: To amount subscribed,
S2573 55; to interest on 5000 in District of
Columbia bonds, S401 80; to increase in
value of bonds, $3.50; total, S3205 05.
This amount falls but few hundred dol
lars short Of the amount necessary to build
the above monument, and the committee
says the Army and Navy Register has
issued another appeal to the officers and
men of the navy to subscribe enough to ad-
nit of the monument being built at once.

NSEkEWT0N, a vigorous mountain town,

IVY osity that beats by a large majority
the rain tree which gained such notoriety
in Charlotte in 1886. 1t is a smoking tree
and battles all efforts at explanation. 1t is
white mulberry tree aud stands on the
sidewalk in front Of the residence of Levi
oder.
1t WAS brought from Illinois a year or
two ago and is now about twelve feet high,
with a bushy top and many lateral branches.
Last Sunday one of the family noticed
puff of smoke proceed from one of the limbs
and by watching it closely puffs identical
IN appearance TO cigarette smoke were seen
starting every now and then from all over
the tree, sometimes from the leaves, some
times from the bloom, sometimes from the
bark of the limbs or trunk of the tree.
The puffs are at irregular intervals; some
times two or three at once from various
parts of the tree and sometimes they are
several seconds or a hall minute apart.
They just seem to come at hap-hazard from
any part of the tree, and az they ascend In
the air look exactly like The smoke from
cigarette.
Since Tuesday, when the curiosity first
became generally known, large crowds, both
of town and country people, can be seen
there at any time in the day. All doubling
ThomaSes are soon convinced on the first
visit that the tree do smoke" Among The
white people it is only looked upon as a
curiosity, and many, of course, make ex-
planatiOns Of the phenomenon, which, per-
haps, are plausible enough to their authors,
but which carry very little in conviction to
the minds of others.
But the negroes don't like the thing at all
