Woe betide the forest giant when he
falls into the clutches of the clusia, or

pulp which is very pleasant to the

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 di-
vides 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
enormously 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 wonder
full development. The hitherto soft
aerial roots begin to harden and spread
wider and wider, throwing out side
branches which flow into and amalga-
mate with each other until the whole
tree trunk is bound in a series of ir-
regular living hoops.
The stranglSr is now ready for its
deadly work The forest giant; ike
all exogens, must have room to in
crease in girth. and here he is bound
by cords which are stronger than iron
bands Like an athlete, he tries to
expand and burst his letters, and if
they were rigid he must succeed.
The bark bulges between every in

to overlap, but the monster has taken
every precaution against this by max
ing its bands very numerous and wide.

A VALUABLE CAT.
Did You Ever See Pure Tortoise Shell
Tomcat

Tomcatf
It is estimated that there are three
hundred and sixty thousand cats in
England and sixty-nine varieties. With
the greater number of these varieties
the average reader is probably quite
unfamiliar.
Tortoise shetland white toms are
very common, says an English writer,
but pure tortoise shell tom is so ex-
tremely scarce that many people de-
clare that they exist only in the imagi-
nation.
Anyone who happens to possess a
female red tabby, without any white
spots, could obtain price which would
keep him in comfort at least a couple
of years without work. Female red
tabbies are as rare as tortoise shell
toms.
The taste in Persian cats just now
runs on the deep blue, with orange
colored eyes. Edward Lloyd, the tenor,
had one for which he repeatedly re-
fused one hundred and twenty-five dol
lars The bright slate or blue is IA
vorite variety of the Persian, the price
sometimes going as high as one hun
bred and twenty-five dollars.
White cats of really herculean pro-
portions readily fetch five hundred dol

Russian cats fetch high prices. The

tint of blue. Russian white oats are
also highly priced, but the wIite va.
riety are seldom long-haired.
Mr. Sam Woodiwiss is the owner Of
smooth-haired tom, Xenorhon, OF
such gigantic proportions that when
the writer, after an INTRODUCTION, in
duced the cat to approach by calling
in seductive accents, he experienced a
feeling akin to dismay as the nam
moth cat jumped on his knee, which
in the course of few moments, began
to exhibit unmistakable signs of IA
tigue; and no wonder for twenty-five
pounds is fair weight. Xenophon is
valued by its owner at twelve thou

markable ugliness that the writer for
