than that recorded for the same month
in 18845-6, and is .51 greater than that
of 1892 The excess in moisture SO far
for the year is 1.57 inches. The wind
blew II, 159 miles during the month, and
made record of 81 miles an hour on the
10Th. Observer Todd thinks that at
times when the storm was in its worst
spasms ii must have attained a velocity
of at least 70 miles per hour for minute

The Wild Fig Vine Binds Big Forest Trees
with Bands of Iron.
from the Guiana Forest,l
Woe betide the forest giant when he
falls into the clutches of the clusia or
fig. It's seeds being provided with a
pulp. which is very pleasant to the
taste of a great number of birds, are
carried from tree to tree and deposited
ON the branches. Here 1t terminates,
the leaf1y stem rising upward and the
roots flowing, as it were, down the
trunk until they reach the SOIL At
first these aerial roots are soft and
delicate, with apparently no more
power for evil than so many streams Of
pitch, which they resemble in their
slowly flowing motion downward.
Here and there they branch, especially
If an obstruction is met with, when
the stream either changes its course
or divides to right and left.
Meanwhile leafy branches have been
developed, which push themselves
through the canopy above and get into
the light, where their growth is enor-
nously accelerated. AS this takes
place the roots have generally reached
the ground and begun to draw sus-
tenance from below to strengthen the
whole plant. Then comes a wonderful
development. The hitherto soft aerial
roots begin to harden and spread wider
and wider, throwing out side branches
which flow into and amalgamate with
each other until the whole tree-trunk
is bound in series of irregular living
hoops.
The stranger is now ready for it's
deadly work. The forest giant, like all
exogens, must have room to increase in
girth. and here he is bound by cords
which are stronger than ir m ards
Like an athlete, he tries to expand and
burst his letters, and If they were rigid
he might succeed. The bark
bulges between every interchangeable
ges out and even tries to overlap, but
the monster has taken every precau-
ton against this by making its bands
very numerous and wide.
AS the tree becomes weaker its leaves
begin to fall, and this gives more room
for its foe. Soon the stranger ex-
pands itself into a great bush almost
as large as the mass of branches and
foliage 1t has effaced. If we
look around us we see examples of en-
tire obltteration-a clusia, or fig, stand
ing on it's reticulated hollow pillar, with
only a heap of brown humus at its
base to show what has become all it's
majesty on that spot.

grand and good work for humanity
Elm Tree must go on and prosper, and
| the greatest praise is due to our eff

After a selection by the orchestra the
chairman introduced the supreme treas
urer, John p. Sanborn of Newport, r.

N. e. o. p. ...
Mr.. Sanborn said that the New Eng
land order now numbers over twenty
thousand members. The order Is the
best because it ds the cheapest in the
New England states. II do not want
to say anything against any Of the
other fraternal organizations, to many
of WHICH / belong; but ours Is the best
Of them all because it is the cheapest"
He then compared the cost of the three
principal orders in New England-the
Royal Arcanum. the A. o. U. w. and
the New England order. IF you can
join them all, do so; If not, take the
best, the N. f. o. p. Comparing the
cost of the fraternal bodies with the old
line life Insurance companies, the cost
of every $1,000 is over $11 in the old
line companies to 60 cents in the frater-
nal orders"

N. e. orDER OF PROTECTION.


@Nih AFoofs seventh Anniversary Celebrated
Last Evening.
The seventh anniversary Of Elm Tree
lodge No. 35, N. E. o. p, of this city,
was celebrated with great eclat last
evening in their hall in the Courier"
building. The event was a red-letter
day in the history of the lodge and will
be long remembered by the members
present, A session of the lodge was
held in the hall ON the first floor, at
which fifteen candidates Were initiated
to membership, the degree team of the
lodge performing the work in a very
nlerttorious manner.
The assembly was invited to the up-
per hall, where several tables were set
the full length Of the building laden
with good things for the inner man.
Full Justice having been done to the
repaGt, cigars weTe passed around and
the warden, Jeremiah Wall, in few
words introduced Secretary T. D. Grin
nell as the chairman of the meeting.
After eulogizing the work that his
lodge had done in the past he felt that
the members would back him up when
he said that the good work would con-
kinue until Elm Tree lodge was first in
numbers throughout the whole New
England order. He was very much
pleased to introduce the best worker in
the order in the state, Grand Warden
T.. p. Deming.
l.. T. Deming on rising said that he
was proud to be present as a member of
Elm Tree lodge, and as he saw so many
of the supreme officers present he would
mot take up the time with any remarks,
but willingly made way for them.
Supreme Organizer l.. w. Shaw Of
Boston, who was next called on, said
that he was a member of the supreme
lodge since it's inception and he could
not begin to tell of the 1abors of the
men who founded the order. He con
graduated the members of Elm Tree
lodge of belonging to the best fraternal
order in the world. This is the most
suspicious time in the history of the or
der. 1t was started in an inopportune
time-a time when there was financial
depression and when the country was
overrun with the various endowment or
ders. But Notwithstanding, the order
to-day numbered about twenty thou
sand members.
Past Grand Warden w. H. Ely said
that he was glad the officers of the SUI
preme lodge received the object lesson
that was given down stairs, when fifteen
candidates were admitted to the order
Only two other lodges in the whole or
der are equal in numbers to Elm Tree
lodge. He said that he had worked
hard for Elm Tree lodge in the past
and for the future his interest was as
great as ever, for he felt that the New
England Order Of Protection was doing
