ELECTRIC FOREST.
by "a Venturesome German
Professor.

y forest OF queer trees more wonder
full than any ever known before in all
the world has just been discovered by
wise and fearless little old German
professor while exploring never be-
fore Travelled part of India. The ma
tional forestry commission of Germany
had sent him out into India to hunt for
new and strange plants and other
things. His name is Prof. Leipsic, and
afraid to go anywhere.
Well, as he was travelling along
through the deep jungle in part of
India situated not far from THE Ara bian
sea, he came upon a forest that looked
as if the branches of the trees had
been done up in curling papers. The
branches were all curled in. And the
wise little German professor said to
himself: These are the funniest look
ing trees ever saw in all my life!
will go up and examine them!"
AS he started toward them his native
guides began to laugh. He thought that
was queer, but as he could not under
stand them very well, anyhow, no mat
ter what they did, why, he kept right
on toward the trees. When he got up
to them and touched one he received an
electric shock that sent him bounding
into the air. He could scarcely be-
lieve it.! The idea that away off there,
deep in the wild jungles. where no .liv-
ing person had ever been before, there
could be anything like electricity ex-
cept as it might come from the clouds.
And so he went up and boldly put both
of his hands on the tree. Instantly he
received shock that threw him to
the ground. Getting up, he took a
pick and spade and went TO digging
down to the roots of one of the trees.
Presently his pick struck one of the
roots, and as it did so he received
third shock that made him unconscious.
When he had recovered he hunted until
he found very little one of the trees.
1t was only about four feet high. On
his touching it he received little shock
that only tickled his hand a bit.
Making camp right near the marvel
GUS forest, the old professor set to
work studying and experimenting as to
the strange trees. Among other things
he found out that no insects or flies or
birds could be found anywhere near it,
and that apparently no animals of any
kind ever ventured near it. When he
touched the leaves of the tree with his
finger a large bright spark would be
seen. The trees AL had little brown
berries on them, which dried up to al
most nothing within an hour after
they were knocked from the tree. The
professor hoped to discover some way
Of transplanting some of the trees to
other countries. - Cincinnati En-

THE GIANT EMU.
Interesting Information About Aus.
tralia's Big Bird and Its
Beautiful Eggs.

Australians largest bird is still plenti-
full in many parts of the country,
though there are places where the emus
have been so mercilessly killed that
the legislature has stepped in to pro-
tect them. In New South Wales, a
few years ago, an act was passed making
it illegal to kill the bird or to take it's
eggs, under penalty of $3.50 per egg,
for period which ended last year; In
Queensland the emu evidently stood
in no danger of complete destruction,
for in 1895 Sydney paper stated that
one boundary-rider on a sheep farm
near Brisbane collected in single sea-
son upwards of 1923 eggs, which were
sold in Brisbane at 25 cents apiece. In
former days the "black fellow" and
wild dog were the emu's worst enc
mics; in more recent times the bird
has suffered at the hands of the white
man, who hunts it for sport with
kangaroo dogs. fast and powerful
cross between the mastiff and grey
hound, or shoots it to save his wire
boundary fences, which suffer serious
ly when so heavy and swift bird runs
up against them at full speed. Unlike
its African cousin, the ostrich, the emu
has no value as feather-producing
bird, though its beautiful eggs, dark
green in color and rough of surface,
are much in request 10 be mounted
as vases and similar ornaments.
Emus are generally seen in pairs,
and throng the great plains on whose
grass they chiefly live. They nest dur
ing the Australian winter. in May and
June. They have finer ideas on the sub
ject of nesting than the ostrich, who
is content to lay her eggs in scrap
ing in the sand; the emu chooses a
place near some tree or stump. and
here collects bed of leaves grass or
bark. There is a touch of originality
about this nest; it is quite fiat only
an inch or two thick, and is oblong.
about four feet in length and two
feet. six inches across. The bird is not
particular in the matter of materials.
She is satisfied with whatever happens
to be convenient, often stripping the
bark from the tree near which she has
selected her site, and using that for
the purpose. On this bed the hen lays
her eggs. arranging them so that their
length lies with the length of the oval
nest. She may lay as many as IS eggs.
but this number is unusual. the average
''clutch" being only nine; the duty of
Matching the eggs is undertaken entire
ly by the male, who has to devote eight
weeks to the business. The birds habit
of laying in the winter is, no doubt,
TO be explained by the needs of the
chicks; these. appearing in the early
spring, then find awaiting them in
abundance the tender herbage on which

the latter is brown, whereas the little
one is grayish-white. barred lengthwise

SPECKLED CIGAR WRAPPERS.
New Version of How the Spots Are
Produced on Real Sumatra
Leaf.

Some Of the tobacco imported from
Sumatra for making the wrappers of
cigars has a curious speckled appear
ance. In the minds of certain buyers
this marking is evidence that the cigar
has q Sumatra wrapper. Such is not
always the case, for the artful manu-
facturer has learned how to spot Amer
lean tobacco artticislly, and he occa-
sionally does so in so clever manner
that the uninitiated customer never
suspects the trick.
Sumatra is Dutch possession, and
the spotting of the tobacco raised in
that island has been made the subject
of investigation by Prof. Beyerinck, of
the Amsterdam Academy of Sciences.
This learned man presented to the
academy a few weeks ago a paper in
which he set forth the results of his
inquiry. He described "living, fluid
contagion," which he declares is the
cause of the disease. This disorder,
also known as the mosaic disease of to-
bacco leaves, may be inoculated into
healthy plants by injecting into the
stem, near bud, sap pressed from in
fected plants. The active virus passes
completely through the pores of very
dense porcelain, and can even penetrate
into agar by diffusion; therefore it cam
rot be ''contagium fiXum" in the usual
sense, but it must be fluid. Out of the
tobacco plant it cannot be made to null
tiply; but in the dividing tissues of the
lenf-rud imentS and the meriStamS Of
the buds it multipies freely and over
a great extent. A very small drop of
The porcelain filtrate can render all
the leaves of the infected plant entire
ly covered with spots, and the sap Of
these leaves would be sufficient for the
contagion of an unlimited number of
healthy plants.-N. Y. Tribune.
