QUEER TREES,
Some Wonders OF the Vegetable World In
the Governments Collection.

' - " NecetbnIc OTIu In
the Governments Collection.
The department of agriculture has
an interesting collection of queer
plants. Among the most remarkable
Of the plants is the lace-bark tree of
Jamaica. the inner bark of which is
composed of many layers of iibers that
i~ntcrlacc in all directions. Caps. ruff
fles, and even complete suits of lace
are made from IL. II bears washing
with common soap, and when bleached
in the sun acquires II degree of white
ness equal to the best artificial lace,
with which this surprising natural
product compares quite favorably as to
beauty.
Another curiosity is known in the
tropics as the sand bark tree, and also
as h monkey dinner bell. IL has n
round, hard-shclled fruit, about the
size of an orange, which. when ripe
n dry, bursts open with n sharp
noise like the report of n pistol. Its
juice is poisonous.
The South American trumpet tree
might furnish n band with musical in.
struments. inasmuch as it's hollow
branches are used for horns and also
for drums.
The dumb cane is so called be.
cause its ileshy, canc-like stems render
speechless anyone who happens to bite
them.
There is also n toothbrush tree from
Jamaica. To~othbrushes are made
from it by cutting pieces of the stem
to convenient lengths, and fraying out
the ends. 1t also supplies, convenient
ly enough, an excellent tooth powder.

be proclaimed on the streets some time
that day. The Norcross affair was
worth money to the newspapers. The
public would be eager for the extras as
they fell futtcring from the presses.

tell. She had lost all record of time.
Perhaps it was another hour, another
day, another week, when she heard IL in
