TREES THREE INCHES TALL.
Cornell Secures Several Good Speci-
mems from the Arctic Regions.

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
crowberry.
The specimens which Cornell has were
found on the Greenland coast, some at
Godhaven, on the Isle of Disllo. Others
were discovered at Wilcox Head, where
the exploring party that secured speci-
mems did most of it's work.
A curious difference between this
iliputian birch and the ordinary forest
tree of the same species is that the
Arctic specimen bears fruit. The trees
ON the island of Disko we're covered
with fruit when the explorers found
them. What is more, this fruit is edi-
BILE. 1t has taste not unlike the juni-
per berry, and is said to be exceedingly
healthful. rs
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.
covery, 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 i:
curious to note the leaf formation an6
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 o
the Arctic willows equal in quality Il

the branch of the willow of ordinary
size.-N. Y. Herald

Hard stuff In Maine

An amusing incident occurred in a
lunch room in this city few days ago.
The proprietor was out for few min
utes, leaving the lunch counter in charge
of boy. Several customers were eat
ing various kinds of food, and two
strangers entered. They evidently mis-
took the nature Of the place as badly as
the boy appeared to mistake their
meaning. After glancing over the ar.
ray of food and drink (the last being cot.
fee, chocolate, etc.), one of the pair
asked:
"Say, boy, got any hard stuff here?"
The boy quietly reached under the
counter and drew forth an ancient Bo,
logna sausage about the size of base
ball bat, and fully as hard and dry, and
replied:

DEATH OF MINISTER WILLIS
Died in Honolulu on Wednes-
day, January 9Th.

Succumbed to an Attack OF
Pneumonia.
The Funeral Services Held on Thursday
Week, and the Procession the Most
Imposing Since That of Kaiakaua's-Re-
mains TO be Sent to Kentucky.

San Francisco, CAL, Jan. 15.--The
steamer Monowa. which arrived here
last night, brought advices from Homo
lulu to the effect that United States
Minister Albert S. Willis died on jan
uary 9th, after an illness covering sew
eral months, resulting from the attack of
pneumonia he suffered during his vaca-
ton to the United States.
In April last the Minister and HE
family left Hawaii for a visit to their
old home, at Louisville, Ky. While in
San Francisco on the return trip, he
contracted severe cold. which set
tied upon his lungs. This was the
immediate cause of his death. On
October 3lst. while he was leaving
church, his horse ran away and threw
him to the ground. He was taken to
physician's office and soon reco vered
sufficiently to return TO his home, at
Waikiki. but he never left it again.
Fever increased, and tho cold taken in
San Francisco soon developed into
pneumonia. This settled so firmly
upon the lungs that it could not be
checked. All human effor. was ex.
pended without avail Three physi-
Grams labored necessarily. and held fire.

pronounced hopeless.
Soon after the death Of the Minister
all the consular, government and ship

Expressions Of regret were general. and
the wife and son have the sympathy OF
the whole community.
At the request Of Mrs. Willis the
funeral services took place at the Cen

church and tho Rev. j.. M. Monroe.

the funeral we're left to United States
Consul General and Charge d'Affairee
Ellis Mills, at whose request the gov
ernment took the funeral in hand. The
funeral procession was the most impos-
ing since that of Kalakaua's. The re.
mains were deposited temporarily in a
vault at Nuuauu cemetery. On Wed
nesday last the casaet was to have been
placed on board the steamship Aus
tralia. for transportation to the United
States. 1t was not known when the
Monowai left whether an escort would
be sent with the remains, but it was
the opinion Of number OF citizens
that representative Of the foreign
Office should be detailed us an escort &c
accompany the remains to Louisville.
