THE COW TREE.

The same correspondent asks me about
the "Palo de Naca," or "Arbol de Leche,"
which grows about the base of the mount
aims. The cow tree is related to the bread
fruit trees. The bread fruit group OF trees
is divided into three families, Il I'iOcdrpuS,
the bread fruits proper; AntiartS, which
includes the deadly upas tree of Java,
ana BT0SiDtltnl, of which there are seven
species, one OF which, BroSjntunt gatact0-
de1ed9'On, is the COW tree, whose milk lik e
sap is perfect substitute for cows milk
These trees grow over hundred feet
in hight, with a smooth trunk six or
eight feet in diameter, and without limbs
for 90 or 20 feet. They have leaves much
like the magnolia grandif1ora, only five
or six times as large as magnolia leaves
The milk is obtained by making incis-
ions in the trunk. 1t closely resem bles
cows milk; is healthy and nutritious; in
appearance, taste ana qualities is identi-
cal with new milk or sweet cream, with
an additional pleasant balsamic odor. All
efforts to transplant these trees or to make q
a success OF growing them elsewhere
than in the equable, warm, moist climate
OF their native home have proved failures.

Concerning the Date Palm.

EDS. RECORD UNION: My article on
date palms which appeared in your col
umns some weeks ago has brought me
several letters on the subject, one OF
which deserves careful notice The
writer claims to have found date palm
indigenous and flourishing near the
north END of the Andes Mountains
forests OF them up near the line of
such letters-letters from men whose
knowledge and observation make them
fearless In expressing their opinions.
/ happen to have travelled over that
part OF the Andes, and to have seen the
palm he refers to, and can fully realize
how even a close observer might mis-
take them for dates-Lhe Ph0eRic dOctuLi-
Jcrd. These have the same lofty stem
and the same form OF wharf of long PIN
nate leaves at the top. But these grow
III region of ice and snow which no
known date palm does. besides, these
palms have been written about and de-
scribed by travellers in the mountains OF
the I nited States of Colombia from Hum
boIdt down to the present time.
1t is the wax palm, CerOryLOR d7ldicOid.
The wax Is scraped from the trunk and
leaves OF the tree--tOr which purpose the
tree must first be cut down. Each tree
yields about twenty-five pounds Of wax,
the composition OF which is about two
parts resin and one part wax, making it
too intlammable TO be used alone, but
when mixed with one-half tallow makes
excellent candles.
From a knowledge of the climate
where this palm grows l know that it
can be successfully grown anywhere on
the western slope of The Coast Range.
The fruit of this palm is a one-seeded
berry like the date. Of its food value |
know nothing. The natives there eXtol
1t, but from having seen them eat snakes
and lizards L have but poor opinion Of
their ideas Of food.

that I stood motionless for what seemed
hours, although really less than a min
ute. When l recovered my presence OF
mind I was Mortified to see Jack and
Tom In a skin standing out In the path
of the wrecked boat. upon the bow OF
which were a hundred frenzied men
and women ready to throw themselves
into the fraii craft and destroy them
selves and the brave men who had
gone to their resVe. I rushed to the
waters edge to warn them OF their
danger; but my cries were unheeded and
l heard Jack shout
Throw us a line. Wen make 1t
fast on shore"
His purpose was understood and a mo-
ment later they were bending their oars
towing a heavy line ashore. AS the
skinf touched / caught and steadied II,
while they grabbed the rope and rushed
to a tree a short way up the bank. A
cry of despair rose from the boat as the
rope was found to be too short. There
was another tree nearer the water a
short distance down stream n to this
they made their way; but the moments
were growing precious. Already the
fear Of the flames had caused several
persons to throw themselves into the
s~wift-moving water which SWEEP them
from u sight.

There was an air Of excitement about

and we expected him on the boat d
