Million, that there are two trees grow
ing inside the old church of Ross Of
IIerefordshirc. They sprang up near
the scat formerly occupied by n man
named John Kyrio, who acquired fame
and distinction many years ago by ex-
pending q modest fortune in works Of
public usefulness. These chiefly took
the fern Of planting elm trees in his
MT live town, in order 10 brighten aud
improve its appearance--a work which
has since been carried ON and extended
by the Kyrlc society. In consequence
Of these operations Kyrlo became
known as the Man Of Ross" Many
years later it was found necessary TO
cut down some of the elm trees neal
the church, and curious thing then
happened. Immediately after the trees
were destroyed two elm trees sprang up
inside the church close TO tho seat
which the "AIan Of Ross" used 10 occu-
py when he attended divine service
there. The trees were allowed TO grow
in this strange spot, and may still DO

ton was that held at London, in the
Crystal Palace, in 1851. The next SINH
lar undertaking was the exhibition of
the industry of all nations" held at
New Yord in 1858. This was held in
Crystal Palace, which was afterward
destroyed by fire. A similar exhibi.
ton was also held in Dublin in the
same year. In 1854 an exhibition was
held in Munich, which was at first very
succcssful, but cholera appeared and
caused such n fright that the enter
prise was abandoned. The first great
Paris international exposition was
held in 1856. The second English in
tcrnational exhibition was held in Lon
don in 1902. Next in order were those
held at Constantinople in 1868; Bay
onnc, 1904; Dublin, 1865; Cologne,
Oporto and Stockholm in 1865; Mel
bourne, 1860; Agra, 1867. Then came
the great Paris exposition of 1867, fol-
lowed by several smaller ones at vari-
Gus places, until 1873, when u very
fine one was held in Vienna. The
next important display was the Phila-
dclphia centennial. Again n number
