Of 900 feet, md measuring, In many
Instances, forty feet in diameter. The
leaves are of curious form unknown
in this country. They are large, sickle

of little bright spots can be seen these

found. In Tasmania this tree is called
the Fever Tree, as when planted in
tnarshy districts it destroys the iniasm.
It does this, first by emitting antisep-
tic odors from its leaves, and by its
roots acting as sponge and absorbing
the water from the ground. Thousands
of these young trees have been pur.
chased by the English government and
transplanted in India during the past
five years, where they have almost
completely neutralized the marshes

THE slump in price of securities
in Wall street during this month
has been nearly one billion dollars.
notwithstanding the unprecedented
good times, with plenty Of work in
all the industrial establishments in
the country, the securities listed in
Wall street have been on the tobog-
gan slide and millions of dollars in
values have been wiped out. The
stock market apparently discounted
the good times in the business world
nearly six months ago. The crush
ing defeat administered toMethuen S
column in South Africa on Sunday
and Mondays battle with the Beers
was used yesterday on the stock
market, with the result that prices
Of all securities declined from to
per cent. The trust stock uffer-
ed the most. although the railroad
stocks declined two or three dollars
a share. We can't see what effect
British victories or defeat should
have on the values on the stock
market. But all the same the gam
blers airs using everything in sight
to knock the values to smithereens.
Several railroad companies have in
creased their dividends, while the
trust companies are paying big
dividends and report their plants
