CURIOSITIES ABOUT TREES.
The Life Tree Of Jamaica and "Tal
low Tree" of China.

low Tree'' of China.
The largest orange tree in the South is
gigantic specimen which grows out OF
the rich soil in Terrebonne Parish. La
1t is 80 feet high and 10 feet in circumfer-
ence at the base. It's yield has often been
10000 oranges per season.
The "tallow tree' of China has a pith
from one inch to two feet in diameter, ac-
cOrding to the size OF the tree, which Is
composed OF greasy wax, which is so
highly volatile that it often catches fire
spontaneously, consuming the tree to the
very ends of its roots.
The largest oak tree now left standing
in England is "Cowthorpe's Oak" which
is seventy-eight feet in circumference at
the ground. The oldest tree in Britain is
Parliamentary Oak, in Clipstone Park,
London, which is known to be 800 years
old.
The largest apple tree in New York
State is said to be one standing near the
town of Wilson. 1t was planted in the
year 1915, and it is on record that 1t once
yielded thirty-three full barrels of apples
in a single season.
There are 4l3 species OF trees found
growing within the limits Of the United
States. The curiosity OF the whole lot is
the black irOnwood of Florida, which is
30 per cont. heavier than water W ell
dried black irOnwOOd will sink in water
almost as quickly as will bar of lead.

A Colonial Hnngiug-Cage.

The steamer T. W. Arrowsmith has
brought to Washington from point near
Bluff Point, in King George County, Va.
notable antiquity recently dug up in
that county. 1t is a Colonial hanging
cage, such as was used before l770 in the
colony of Virginia in cases of conviction
OF petit treason.
The cage is made with an iron support
for the feet and an iron cap or helmet
for the head. with transverse bars or belts
OF iron to encircle the body, and upright
bars TO support them. Within this cage
were found when it was unearthed the
skull and other bones of human skele-
ton.
The penalty for petit treason under the
old law of England was inflicted where a
serf killed his feudal lord, and was eX-
tended IN many cases to the murder of a
husband by his wife. In America the
willful murder of master by a slave
was held to De petit treason and was pun
lsned by hanging IN chains. The last eX-
ample OF that punishment in this section
OF the country was given near Alexan-
drla, in l101-S, when several negro slaves
were convicted at the Fairfax Court, then
held at that village and hung in chains in
an opening in the woods near where
Christ Church now stands. An account
of the crime and the punishment is given
in the Gentteman'S Magazine. 1t is prob
able that the King George cage, with its
victim, was hung in the air many months
and was buried some time before the
Revolutionary war. 1t now not only re-
visits the light of day, but makes a voy-
age in steamboat, thing more inoon-
ceivable than a griffin or a centaur, to an
Immense city grown out of what was
then wilderness to be the capital Of a
nation then undreamed of.
The cage and its contents are the prop
erty of Mr.. Cawood of King George
County, and will be sent to the Smith
sonian Institution.-Baltim Sun.

the skill possessed in King Charles mint,
the knowledge of treating metals was
crude indeed. Apparently the copper
smiths took big ingots and fiattened them

marks of the hammer at every blow. SO
that ridges and hollows were formed on
the coins. Then a half-daler stamp was
applied to the center of the bit of copper

only on silver half-dalers, but when the

the copper, This is silver" and 1t was

Seasick ness and Inspiration.

There are so many equally efficaciOus
ways of avoiding seesickness that the
doctors must really find 1t difficult TO hit
upon something new. We have all heard
OF the method which consists OF percning
ones self amidships and carefully follow
ing the vessels every motion with ones
whole BODY. 1t was Dickens, ii we are
not mistaken, who invented this cure. A
French scientific journal has discovered
a somewhat similar, and, we have no
doubt, equally infallible plan. sense of
rhythm, apparently, is the thing, but any
indulgence IN violent gymnastics is quite
unnecessary. \ Ou keep your eye on the
motion OF the vessel and assume as easy
aud d1gnltled pose as circumstances
will permit. Then, as the vessel rises,
you make an expiration, as it descends
an inspiration, and VOLTA tout!
To avoid sea-slcknesS, in short, you
beat time to the music, not with your
body, but with your breath. The natural
order, however. must be reversed. Only
the happy few do the right thing instinct
lively. The vast majority lay in their
ozone on rise, and get rid of it on fall
just as if the deck Of a channel boat were
Cfpol Court or Mincing Lane. Nor are
sound scientific reasons wanting for the
system OF exhallpg as you rise and lnhal-
ing as you fall. Listen! 'By iuhaling
breath during an ascent the thoracic cav
ity is dilated and the diaphragm is de-
pressed. Meanwhile, the stomach, with
the whole body, is rising with the vessel 8
ascending motion. 1t is consequently
compressed, and nausea is the inevita BILE
result" By the diligent practice of the
reverse action, however, lungs, thoraX,
diaphragm and stomach are kept on the
most amiable terms with each other

Tree Trunks as Filters.

A wellknown Austrian engineer, NJ
Pfster, is stated to have discovered a
remarkable property OF the trunks OF
trees, namely, that of retaining the salt
Of sea- water that has filtered through
the trunk in the direction of the ii bers.
He has consequently constructed az ap-
paratus designed to utilize this property
in obtaining potable water for the use of
ships crews. This apparatus consists of
a pump, which sucks up the sea- water
into reservoir and then forces it into
the filter formed by the tree trunk. AS
soon as the pressure reaches l.5 to 2.5
atmOsphereS the water is seen-at the
end OF from one to three minutes, ac-
cording to the kind of wood used-to
make its exit from the other extremity
of the trunk, at first in drops and then
in tine streams, the water thus filtered
being potable. freed, in fact, from every
particle of the usual saline taste which
is such draw back to water obtained in
the ordinary manner.-RailwayR Review.

JORNSBNS BULKY COPPER COIN

Karl Jornsen, a Swede, living near
youngstown, y. y, has a coin that has

turies. He claims that its value is be-
tween $500 and 81 900. but he has no inten-

When Charles Nj. of Sweden became

around, though they sometimes had to get

Jsrnsen's heirloom is 81 inches long by

correct weight is twenty ounces avoirdu-
