nuDber Trees il the unlted stntes.

The plants which produce the princi-
pal portion, if not all, of the rubber
supply are natives Of tropical America.
As there is no similar climate in the
United States, it is altogether unlikely
that any of these trees could be cult
waited to be of any commercial irnpor-
lance in this country. Although an al
most tropical climate prevails in the ex-
IRENE southern portion Of Florida, yet
occasional low temperature, even in
these portions would be fatal to the
of these plants.

They Earn Two Three Salaries Da,
at Different Restaurants.
Many of the walters in the first-class
restaurants of New York have short
hours, and are therefore able to work in
several places. For instance, says The
New York Sun, an ambitious waiter,
who is employed only for breakfasts
and luncheons in one restaurant, can
easily enough serve the dinner in an
other. The walters in some restau-
rants, where the dinners are served
early, are even able to work in others
where the dinner is kept going until a
late hour
An experience of a well-known play
wright recently suggests some lndicrous
possibilities. He has been in the habit
of dining at Delmonico's, and was al
ways served by the same waiter. A
few weeks ago he decided to try some
of the odd restaurants in the French
quarter. One night he went to a cheap
table d'hote at an unusually late hour
TO his great surprise he found the Del
monico waiter serving meals at this
place also. The waiter was equally

A ROYAL INDIAN.
The Prince of Wales belongs to the Mo-
hawk Tribe.

The Prince of Wales belongs to the Mo
hawk Tribe.
There is living in Europe middle
aged gentleman, who, many years ago,
was elected a chief of the Mohawl,
tribe of Indians. This gentleman, says
the New York World, not only comes
from ancestry both old and powerful.
but he is also heir apparent to one of
the mightiest thrones in the world. He
is Albert Edward, more Familiarity
known as the prince of Wales. When
he becomes king of England he win
doubtless be called Edward VII. In
1860 he visited the United States and
Canada, and during that year occurred
his election as an Indian chief. He was
probably present at this interesting oc-
casion and perhaps an Indian name was
given to him.
The Mohawk Indians, who thus hon
ored the prince of Wales, are one OF. the
famous Iriquois nations, and as ma
ton their home is now in Canada. Their
proper name is Agmegue or Gagmegue.
The celebrated Joseph Brant was a
Mohawk
Does it not seem like fiction to read
that tribe Of North American Indians
'an claim among those whom it has
elected chief a man who not only comes
rom distinguished European ancestry,
out is himself the heir apparent to a
Mighty European throne?

The WITCH TEE.
Natural Curiosity That Is Found in
Nevada.

Nevada.
A most remarkable tree which grows
near Tuscarora, New, is described in
the Popular Science News. The witch
tree, as the superstitious Indians call it,
grows to a height of six or seven feet,
with trunk whose base is three times
the size of an ordinary man wrist
1t has numberless branches and twigs,
and resembles somewhat the barberry
indigenous to certain regions in the
eastern states
The truly wonderful characteristic of
the tree is its luminosity, which is so
great that on the darkest night it can
be plainly seen mile away. A person
standing near could read the finest
print by its light. It's foliage is ex-
tremely rank, and its leaves resemble
somewhat those of the aromatic bay
tree of California in shape, size and
color.
The luminous property is due to
gummy substanc e, which can be trans
ferred to the han by rubbing, together
with its phosphor escent light, while the
light on the leaf disappears. The lu-
minosity is thought to be due to a para
site growth. The Indians will never
it, even in daylight, with such
superstitious awe do they regard its
mysterious light.

LARGEST OF KNOWN WAVES.
Caused by Earthquakes at Sea and Some
times Rising Sixty Feet ia Height.

/ times Rising Sixty Feet ia Height.
While we usually think of earth
qualSes as taking place on land, they
do occur with equal devastation in the
ocean. That point in the earth at
| which the explosion or breaking takes
place is called the earthquake focus
and from it what are known as earth
| quake waves pass to the surface, says st.
Nicholas. Take basin full of water
and dip a glass tube intoit. Blow through
the tube and you will see bubbles
rising to the surface and circular waves
passing out The disturbance at the
bottom of the basin corresponds with
the explosion or swapping of the crust
at the earthquake focus, with the diff
ference that instead of water waves the
latter produces earth waves, passing
through the ground. When the city of
Lisbon, Portugal was destroyed, the
earthquake took place in the bottom of
the sea, fifty miles west of the ciqy.
Yet it SO agitated the water that a wave
sixty feet high dashed over Lisbon, de-
stroying it and It's inhabitants in the
space of six minutes. Another earth
quake, occurring just off the coast of
Peru, made such a gigantic wave that
large vessel was thrown several miles
inland. These are called earthquake
waves. They are the largest known
waves and are caused by the heaving
and rocking of the bed of the sea- In
deep water such waves are not very
high, but their motion extends far
down into the ocean. When they reach
shallower water, however, they heap
up like a gigantic wall and, with a
force more terrible than fire or sword.
they sweep on, bearing destruction with
them. Huge ships are tossed like
straws far inland or ningle their ruin
with that of a harbor town.

IN MEMORY OF A CHILD.


It's Parents Commemorate Its Death by
an Annual Punch and Judy show.
The parents of a child that died some
few years back in the Great O1anond
Street Hospital for Children have hit
upon quaint and in many respects adj
mirable method of perpetuating his
memory. On each anniversary of the
child's death performance of Punch
and Judy takes place in every ward in
the hospital.
This great festival = for, remarks
London Truth, need not say that it is
a great festival to everybody concerned
has been duly celebrated again. The
only blot upon it was that one poor lit
tie fellow had to be taken away lust
before the performance commenced to
undergo an operation; but it will be
satisfaction to every reader to hear that
he was more than consoled by subse-
quently having Toby brought to his
bed by kind nurse for a private Anter-
view, and, thus fortified under his
troubles, the little patient progressed
most favorably.

''Your worlds fair souvenir half dol
lar reminds me of singular incident, .
said Ralph G. Watson, of London, in the
hearing of st. Louis Globe
! Democrat reporter During the
queens jubilee all England was
flooded with jubilee coins. The
largest denomination was five pound
sterling gold piece, and from that down
to a farthing. After the jubilee all
those special coins that found their way
back to the Bank of England were taken
out of circulation, and before it was
| generally known that this was being
done ninety per cent. of the coins, /
fancy, had found their way into the
nav of the old lady of Threadneedle
street
Il was among the few who had sense
enough to keep a set. I had FIVE
pound sterling piece, q sovereign, a
half-sovereign, a crown, a four-shilling
piece, a half-crown, a two-shilling bit,
one shilling, a sixpence, a fourpence,
threepence, a penny, half penny and
farthing. They lay idle in a box in
my dressing-case for nearly four years.
I thought nothing of them until one
day last summer, having business in
Glasgow, went there. Here the jubi-
lee coins were great rarity, and I
found that my collection, which
amounted to seven pounds, five shil-
ings, six pence, ha' penny, farthing,
would bring something like twelve
pounds.
NOW, thinks I, I'll just make that
five pounds like wink, so l tele-
graphed my wife to forward the box of
coins to me by express at once. The
next day got letter from her inclos-
ing a postal note for seven pounds, six
shillings, AMI note from the dear
woman saying that as long as / was in
need of the money she thought the let
ter-post quicker than the paclage-post, |
and had had my coins exchanged for
postal order, and added the change her
self to makeit even money. Mad? I was
| not only lost my five pound specula-
ton, but lost my jubilee coins as well;
but, | say, it was rather thoughtful of
her, you know, and under any other
would have been very
gratifying"

oldest Song In the English Language
Written in 1926.
The Oldest British song, taking the
word British in its widest acceptation,
and thus making it include Cymrie and
Gaelic, might, with about equal justice,
be the Cynric battle song: .'Godonin'
described by Henry Morley as ''the
most important fragment OF what may
represent the Oldest Cymric literature
or the Gaelic description of the death
of Oscar at the battle of Gabhra, which
took place in 284 A. D.
OF songs in the English language the
Oldest is ''Beowof," a legendary heroic
song originally brought to this country
by the Angles and handed down from
generation to generation as the Ian
guage developed.
The oldest song in the language that
has come down to us with its musical
setting is a ''canon" or ''round' called
Summer Is I-cumen In arranged
with considerable skill for six voices.
The MS. is in the Harleian library, and
the best authorities ascribe it to the
authorship of John of Fonsete, a monk
Of Reading abbey, who is supposed to
have written it about the year 1925.
Here is the first verse of it:

STRANGE SENSE OF DIRECTION.
Dogs and Cats Sometimes Display Aston

Dogs and Cats Sometimes Display Aston
ishing Geographical Knowledge.
"When living near Neosho Falls,
Kan, neighbor, who was market
bird hunter, west from there to western
Missouri for the purpose of hunting
quaiIs and prairie chickens in the fall
of the year, says a writer in Science.
s'He took with him favorite pointer
dog. The route taken was southwark
some fifty miles TO Parsons, Kan, by
railroad thence northeastward to Fort
Scott and on into Missouri, nearly due
east from the latter point. All went
very well for few days after he began
hunting, but by some means the dog
became lost from him. He spent two
days hunting it, and as it was no use to
try to hunt without the dog he went
home and there found the dog all right.
According to the report of his family
the dog had reached there within two
days from the time he had lost him,
and as the distance was more than
seventy-fve miles it is quite certain
that the dog took near cut for home.
Now, if this dog had no sense of direc-
ton what hay he that led him to take
what we may confidently believe to be
the straight and true course for home
when he had passed over the other two
sides of the triangle by rail? Who does
not know that cat, or even a half
grown kitten, taken a long way from
home in a bag, nearly always finds its
way back? When living in northern

NATURE OPPOSED TO EXTREMES
Growing Danger of Too Much AthIeticism
In American Colleges.

Growing Danger of Too Much Athleticism
In American Colleges.
There is a disposition among Ameri-
cans to go to excess in everything they
undertake. A generation ago athletic
sports were almost unknown and the
wise men predicted the extinction of the
American. Now we have swung to the
other extreme, and athletic sports are
all the rage, especially among college
students. 1t seems to the Altoona (Pa.)
Tribune that many students are now
devoting more attention to the develop.
ment Of muscle than to the accumula-
ton of knowledge. The situation is a
perplexing one to the authorities of the
colleges, and they are now endeavoring
to discover method whereby students
can be persuaded to take exercise mod
erately. There is need for action of
this sort. Too much athletieism is even
more dangerous than too little. There
is danger in entertaining of the body.
All the noted athletes have either died
young or broken down before they
reached middle life Nature does not
take kindly to either extreme, physical
or intellectual development, and those
who press her too far must pay the PEN
atty. We may well rejoice that the
day has vanished when pale face, dull
eyes and weak chest were the signs
of knowledge, but we win do well to
guard against the other extreme which
regards physical culture as the most
important thing in life. The young
people who attend our institutions of |
learning should be encouraged to take
plenty of physical exercise: their inclin-
alton toward outdoor games should not
be frowned upon, but they should be
held to moderation and to such wise
division of their time as will enable
them to devote proper attention tc ~
