TREES THREE INCHES TALL.

Cornell Secures Several Good Speci~
mems from the Arctic Regions.
The most interesting feature of the
forestry and herbaceous collection Of
Cornell university is one recently added,
consisting of specimens of perfect for
est trees less than three inches high.
They were brought to the university
from the Arctic regions by party of
explorers sent out by the institution
itself. The most notable features of the
collection are the Arctic birch and the
crow berry.
The specimens which Cornell has were
found on the Greenland coast, some at
Godhaven, on the Isle of Disko. Others
were discovered at Wilcox Head, where
the exploring party that secured speci-
mems did most of its work.
A curious difference between this
liliputian birch and the ordinary forest
tree of the same species is that the
Arctic specimen bears fruit. The trees
on the island of Disko were covered
with fruit when the explorers found
them. What is more, this fruit is edi-
BILE. 1t has a taste not unlike the juni-
per berry, and is said to be exceedingly
healthful.
The second notable specimen is known
as the crowberry, or, as the scientist
terms it, the Emporium Nigrum.
A third specimen of the dwarf trees
which was brought back by the Cornell
party was the Arctic willow. There is
the Arctic willow proper, and then what
is known as the "bear" willow.
These little trees which have been
described are of exceeding interest,
apart from their rarity and place of dis
co7ery, from the exact resemblance in
every slight detail to the great trees
of the same species found in the forests
| of the United States. For instance, the
leaf is precisely the same, and the gen.
eral appearance of the wood exhibits
no difference. With the willow it is
| curious to note the leaf formation and
the quality of sap that exudes from
twig when the bark is removed there
| from. The texture of the wood is pre-
| cisely the same. One can make a very
| fair whistle out of the trunk of any of
the Arctic willows equal in quality to
that which the youngster evolves from
the branch of the willow of ordinary
size.-N. Y. Herald.
