Woods that Sink in Water.

There are Alb species of trees found within
the limits of the United States and Territories,
sixteen OF which, when perfectly seasoned,
will sink in water. The heaviest of these is
the black ironwood, (Condalia ferrea, found
only in Southern Florida, which is more than
30 per cent heavier than water. OF the other
fifteen the best known is the lignum vitae
(Guaiacum sanctum) and the mangroye

ing, and inanimate things, are the homes of a
species of oak (Quercus grisea,) which is about
one and one-fourth times heavier than water,
and which, when green, will sink almost as
quickly as bar of iron. 1t grows only in
mountain regions and has been found west
ward as far as Colorado desert, where it
grows at an elevation of 10000 feet. All the
species heavier than water belong to tropical

Thanks to the high ATTITUDES which
it inhabits, the polar bear is not likely
to be killed off. The polar bear is an
enormous animal, weighing about as
much as fair sized OK, but it is not at
all fierce, and will always run away, so
that it is not hard to kill. l once saw
an Aleut woman dispose of one in a
very remarkable manner. She saw it
asleep on the ice, and approached it
with great caution from the leeward
side, having previously improvised a
weapon by fastening the knife she car
RED to stick with lacings of seal
leather which served to hold together
her garment. Having got close to the
unconscious beast, she thrust this spear

wearing feathers and wings of singing

declares bitterly against the European

the picturesque and comfortable dress

latest addition is to be allowed to con-
tinue, An order has just reached Japan
from Europe for 100000 wings. Each
wing is bought for the small sum of five

enormous future damage Of the farmers.
