A Washington Tree That Sleeps

Mr.. Fred J. Braendle wrote to the
Washington Star that near the west
ern border of Dupont circle stands a
other shade trees of Washington. Ma
ture has endowed it with what we NOR
tails consider a very happy faculty,
namely, to enjoy peaceful slumber
every night. Many shrubs and nu-
nerous species of flowers have time
of rest. either by day or night; at least
that is what we guess from the changed
attitude of their leaves and petals, but
this big fellow who goes to sleep alta reg
ular hour every evening, and in summer
time even by daylight right before our
eyes and in public park, has method
quite his own in preparing himself for
the night. His action is so apparent,
quick and curious that he deserves to
be noticed; in fact, it is somewhat to
be wondered at that nobody ever noticed
this stra niger and his strange action be-
fore-not even the very alert watchman
and guardian Of the floral display Of
the park.
That this tree is of foreign extraction
and of high lineage there will be no
need of telling when we learn that his
name is Albizzia Julibrissin, having
been christened so by an Italian bot
anist by the name of DuraZZO in honor
of 4 member of the most noble family
of the Albizzi of Florence. who proba bly,
had also been a botanist. The tree,
however, is all original of Japan and
known there as the japanese silk tree.
Why it is called a;silk tree is not known
to the writer, but the supposition is that
the silky appearance of the blossoms
might have originated it. How this tree
came here and found it's way to Du-
pont circle probably only Col. Bing-
