however, has been made in Iowa. al
thongh ballot reform laws were defeated
In that state in 1891. The new constitu-

that alleIections BY the people shali be

dragons blood tree of Teneriffe. Resin

One of the strangest of trees is the lta

to make it softer and more plable.

feeds on animal life. The tiny bladders
attached to the leaves and leaf stalks are
each furnished with door, the whole act
ing on the eel-trap principle. Any smalf
water creature that ventures to peep in is
seized in the clutches of the murderous
plant and is at once swallowed and assimi.
lated.
The breadfruit tree fourishes in many
of the islands of the south Pacific ocean,
and also in some of the islands of the East
Indies. The fruit is as large as child's
head. 1t is covered with a thin skin and
has a relatively small core. 1t is snowy
white and about the consistency of newly
baked bread. In order to prepare it for
food it is cut into large slices and roasted.
