the lepers are leaving the lazar house,
the inhabitants are panic stricken and
the dead lie by the roadside unburied.

by the international fleets on Friday
wrought serious havoc among the
Christians. There is some danger of a
Mohammedan uprising in the island on
account of the scarcity Of food.

The Tree Killer.

One of the curious forest growths or
the isthmus Of Panama and lower Gen.
trail America in general is the vine
which the Spaniards call matapalo, or
"tree killer. This vine first starts IN
life as a climber upon the trunks OF the
large trees, and, owing to its marvel
ously rapid growth, soon reaches the
lower branches At this point it first be-
gins to put out its "feelers "-tender,
harmless looking root shoots, which
soon reach the ground and become as
firmly fixed as the parent stem. These
hundreds of additional sap tubes give
the whole vine renewed lease OF life,
and it begins to send out its aerial ten
drills i'm all directions These intwlne
themselves tightly around every limb OF
the tree, even creeping to the very far
thermost tips and squeezing the life out
of both bark and leaf Things go ON at
this rate but a short while before the
forest giant is compelled to succumb to
the gigantic parasite which is sapplng
its life's blood. Within very few years
the tree rots and falls away, leaving the
matapalo standing erect and hollow,
like monster vegetable devilfish lying
upon its back with its horrid tentacles
clasped together high in the air. Nor

"Corelike arbors of matapalo are to be
seen i'm all directions, each testifying tc
the lingering death of some sylvan giant
that formerly supported it. st. Louis

ASKING THE CAPTAIN.
Just What Happened When Information
Was Sought From the Commander.

Just What Happened When Information
Was Sought From the Commander.
"Once ON an ocean steamer" said a
traveller, 1--WE had heated shaft bear
ing, or SON ething Of that sort, so that
the engines stopped for five or six hours.
I had often read and heard about how
the captain was the great mogul aboard
ship, how about all things pertaining
to the affairs Of the ship he held aloof
and must not be approached by the pas
sengers, and that it was sort OF viola
ton Of the unwritten rules OF the sea
for a passenger to ask the captain any
thing And there may be some reason
in all this; if one passenger might ask
him, 40 might, and surely the command
er Of the ship ought not to be unneces-
sarily disturbed by useless questions.
We had been lying there three or four
hours waiting There was no danger
whatever, but it was delay and an in
cident of interest, and Of course all the
passengers talked about nothing else
| the common information was that the
DELAY was due to heated bearing.
| 81 was standing OH the upper deck
by the door to the main companionway
leading to the deck below. The captain
