Botanists long ago voted the banyan
tree of India q place in the catalogue
of wonderful vegetable production. In
its infancy IL resembles other trees in
having a single stem or trunk and a
dense head of foliage. As the tree in
creases in size, however, the branches
spread out horizontally TO such won
drous extent that they would be un-
able to support themselves had not
nature come TO the rescue with re-
markable provision; To supply the
necessary support the branches of the
parent stem throw out here and there
small fibrous shoots, which Immediate
ly begin growing downward towards
the earth. In a surprisingly short time
they reach the ground and take root,
and gradually increase in size until
they sometimes rival the original trunk
itself This new trunk, with its numer-
Gus fibrous roots, renews the whole life
of the tree, other new limbs and shoots
are rapidly thrown out until finally
what was originally a single tree trunk
becomes a considerable forest, each
limb and shoot of which are curiously
connected. DIR. Roxburgh, the great
East Indian traveller, says that he has
seen forests thousand yards in dame
ter which had all grown from one
parent stem. st Louis Republic.

worlds fair in all the history OF ma
tions has ever been so fully given over
TO the people as is this Of our Column
bian year.
The daily attendance has reached
an average of nearly two hundred
thousand and there is a promise o. a
large increase during the remaining
two months of the fair. A payment OF
ten per cent on the bonds has just

or entirely cut off, and in other ways

which goes to show that our great ex-

The history of the Sunday closing at
the worlds fair has been interesting
and highly amusing First the Of

the gates must be opened on Sunday
because they could not afford to waste
the day. and in public they pleaded

the cause of the poor workingman, who
had no other day to come TO the fair.
Religious exercises were arranged
within the grounds and the gates
opened, but somehow the Chicago
workingman did not realize his advan-
tages, or found that day Of sight
seeing was the poorest possible prep
aration for week of toll He lid not
need the Bible to counsel day of rest.
Experience became an individual and
potent teacher The small crowds that
did come on Sunday were far more
likely to make their way to the theaters,
dancing halls and beer gardens Of the
Plaisance, than TO the Art gallery or
Horticultural hall, and few appre-
ciate the advantage Of paying fifty
cents TO go to church on the fair

A correspondent writing from Las

The climate makes this part of the

The art of bell founding is undoubted.
~ of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar things.
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire, there was a famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell founding indeed is one
Of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of re-
hgious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with dash Of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
As rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, defect which has
been In some measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic campa-
biologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history Of bells shrouded in dark
ness for long time to come.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.
