mediate charge of both the supply and

gen; soldiers assisted. During the session

slLK-cOTTON TREE.

One Of the Most Interesting Features Of
the West Indies.
Among the interesting natural OBJ
jects Of tropical America the gigantic
silk-cOttOn tree is one of the most
prominent features in the landscape.
1t is widely distributed, but is seldom
seen to more advantage than on the
grazing pens in the high valleys Of
Jamaica, where it is most impos-
ing giant, when its smooth, straight
trunk is seen towering like great
lighthouse from some commanding
hill, with it's majestic crown Of
spreading branches outlined against
the sky. A young tree Is protected
by sharp thorns, but as it grows older
these disappear. When the tree is
some four or five feet in diameter
wooden brackets begin to grow out
from the trunk under the branches,
which thus become strongly braced
as they begin to spread. At
the same time the trunk becomes
ventricose near the ground and soon
great buttresses arise between the
trunk and the roots. These but.
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1893-09-12

tresses run close to the surface OF the
ground for a great distance, some
times so feet Between these but
tresses the Spaniards used to
stable their horses. Above these
buttresses the trunk is smooth and
cylindrical, sometimes twelve feet in
diameter and 100 feet high. Just be-
fore the tree flowers the branches are
bare, but after the fruit has set the
new leaves burst out and nourish the
great pods until they have swelled to
their full size. Then the leaves fall
and the sun beats down upon the
pods until they are fully ripe, when
they burst and swell into great snowy
bundles of cotton.
Specimens of the silk-cotton tree
vary in shape, and solitary trees in
open meadows often branch near the
ground; but in well-grown typical
tree the trunk runs straight up,
without branches, like massive
cylindrical tower, we'll above the
heads of all ordinary trees or even
the tallest palms. At the top it car
ries crown of branches stretching
out horizontally to an incredible
distance.
