AN EXTRAORDINARY TREE.
Is known rs the Baobab of
I<inschassa.

In the Congo region there is n most
remarka ole tree, of which Europeans
had often heard, but of which they
had never seen a picture until few
days ago, when several photograp
of it, which were taken by order of
the Congo government, arrived in
Paris, Berlin and London. The tree
is known as the haobab of Kinschas-
sa, and it is believed to be the largest
tree of its kind in all Africa, says
the New York Herald.
Kinschassa is on the Congo rail
road, about an hour and a half's ride
from Leopoldville, and is a flourish
ing place, having several factories
and an English mission. The banks
of the Stanley pool are low at this
point and several huge baobabs grow
on them. The natives call these mon
sters monkeys bread trees" and
their scientific name is "Adansonia
digitata."
The monarch of them all, which
has just been photographed, is over
so feet in circumference, yet, strange
TO say, it is hardly 30 feet in height
It's gigantic branches are leatiess and
withered, and the trunk itself has
for many years shown signs of decay.
Indeed, it is quite hollow on one side,
and it is evident that it cannot sur
vive much longer At the foot its
growth has been most abundant, as
can be seen from the great breadth
and solidity, not only of the main
trunk, but also of its numerous off
shoots.

NEW DAIRY PRODUCT.
Manufacture of Plasmon from MILK
After the Butter Has Been
Extracted

Many new industries have been de-
veloped in the British isles at the
close of the last century. One of
the most novel had its birth in the
vicinity of fundamentally that
of the manufacture from the milk of
creameries, after the butter has been
extracted, of a substance known by
the highly classical name of plaSmon,
says Chambers journal. This sub
stance takes its name from the Greek,
meaning that which gives form"
The fresh milk as it comes from
the COW is put into a separator, all
the cream being removed by this
method. The separated milk is aft
erwards treated so as to coagulate
all the protocols of the milk; and this
coagulated mass is then kneaded and
dried at a temperature of 20 degrees
centigrade under an atmosphere of
carbonic acid gas. When perfectly
free from moisture, the plasmon is
ground into granular powder which
is completely soluble in hot water.
AS TO the economic value of pIas-
mon there can be no doubt, when it
is known the German government
supplies it in very large quantities to
the army and navy, As a portable,
concentrated nutrient, according to
the German government department
for the investigation of foodstuffs for
the troops, it has been found that
one ounce of this powder is equal
in nourishing and sustaining proper
ties to three and a quarter pounds
of the finest beefsteak, or to about
10 or II pints of milk.

STRANGE MOUNTAIN TRIBE.
Discovery of an Unknown Race of
AboriSines in the WiIds
of Burneo.

A strange tribe has just been dis
covered in Borneo by DR.. a. w. Nieu.
wcnhuis, the distinguished Dutch eX.
plorer. As he was travelling through
the district of SaraWak he heard from
his guides that at a little distance
there was a mountain tribe which no
European or America had ever visit
ed, and straightway he went thither.
and in day or two found himself at
the headquarters of these unknown
aborigines. At once he saw that they
differed from all other natives of
Borneo, and he spent some weeks in
acquainting himself with their curl
Gus customs and also in studying
their country, which is entirely un-
known to foreign travellers. In this
way he accumulated mass of new
material, which he intends to give to
the world at an early date in the
form of a book.
This is the second journey which
DR.. Nieuwenhuis has taken to Central
Borneo. He first went there in 1895
and explored the sources of the Ka-
puas and Mahakkam rivers. after
which he returned 10 Europe, where
he at once obtained an appointment
as director Of the botanical garden
at Buitenzorg. In 1899 he went again
to Borneo, intending to thoroughly
explore the interior Of the country,
and it is claimed that in this task he
has succeeded better than any pre-
vious traveller.

Beautiful Fan From It,Ix.

A fan that is notable for its cost and
beauty has just been given by Mrs. Jo-
seph Drexel to the Museum of Arts
and Sciences of Philadelphia. BY spe-
cial permission of Queen Margherita of
Italy the fan was made for Mrs. Drex-
ell by the royal artisans. The workmen
were instructed to employ their great
est skill without limit of cost to make
a unique article. The sticks are of tor
toise shell held together with gold
clasps. They are exquisitely carved
and richly inlaid with diamonds and
pearls and bear the queens crown set
with rubies and diamonds, below
which the cross of Savoy is wrought in
small diamonds. The lace was made
at the school which the queen estab-
lished for the encouragement of the
lace Industry. On panel at one side
the queens autograph, "Margherita,"
appears. The fan cost Mrs. Drexel
more than $1,000.

the nations greatest need is spiritual
fly, that the ideal type from now on
will be the spiritual woman. 1t Is not
the religious side of spiritual life which
is lacking. The churches and hundreds
of God fearing men and women are at
tending to that. 1t is that portion Of
spiritual life not directly connected
with religion-the portion which has
ever been woman's peculiar province
which is neglected.
In the physical conquest of this coun-
try woman bore the heroic part of the
silent sufferer Important as was the
role she played then, it grew even more
important in the intellectual conquest
which followed. That conquest is SO
nearly complete that it may be taken
for granted. An education-such an
education as the world never dreamed
of heretofore-is now within the reach
of every American boy and girl. 1t ex-
tends from the kindergarten through
the university. But having become the
most powerful, the richest and the
most resourceful Of modern nations we
are not to rest there in the belief that
progress Is all to De measured by war

spiritual must follow, or the nation
falls.-GeOrge W. Gerwig in Woman S

Perhaps the most pleasing gift re-
ceiyed by the late queen of England
last Christmas day was the box Of
magnificent Queen of Edgely" roses
from Philadelphia. 1t took no less than
two years to produce the II magnifi-
cent roses which comprised this Ameri-
can gift. Two years ago, when the
British Horticultural society held an
exhibition of roses in Buckingham pal
ace, her majesty graciously asked a
rose grower of Philadelphia what he as
an American thought of the English
roses.
He replied that they were very pret-
ty, but that every one grew better roses
In the United States. Her majesty
the more gorgeous of the American
roses
The American on his return home
began experimenting in order to pro-
duce the finest roses ever grown and
also to discover a method of preserva-
tion certain for at least II days. After
"a months he accomplished both ends

charge of famous London florist. The
roses were eight inches in diameter and
had stems one yard long. The large
blooms were shaped like the American
Beauty, but were bright pink color
The precious flowers arrived in perfect
condition. The ends of the stems were
placed in long glass vials filled with
water and capped by rubber fitted
closely around the stem. The opening
buds were then wrapped in waxed pa
per to exclude the air, and then the
roses, stem and ALL were buried, each
by itself, in soft moss dampened and
packed in cracked ice.
The box of roses was then sealed In a
strong box and placed In the Lucania's S
cold storage room. When the box was
opened it was found that the buds had
burst into full blossom and were en-
trancingly fragrant and beautiful.
They were consigned TO the English
secretary for foreign affairs, who saw
that they were safely delivered to her
majesty. Thus it was that the loveliest
and largest roses In the world came to

She Wanted Wames.

And they say that women do not ap-
preciate the good things of life and the
pleasures of the table! 1t was at the
Woman's Exchange on Forty-third
street the other day that this story was
entirely disproyed. The exchange Is
noted for the delicacies provided at its
luncheon rooms Each and every article
is made by an expert in that particular
line, and the result, as in everything
where there Is specialized work, is ex-
cellent. The wealthiest women In the
city, women from the best hotels in the
city, are regular patrons, and strangers
i'll town find their way there sooner or
later, The patronage is so good that
the lunchrooms are always full, and as
soon as table is vacated there is some
one to occupy it.
So it happened that after this last
period of cold weather there was a
rush to the exchange. For number of
days the women had been house bound
and with the first warm weather they
appeared out in great numbers, and 1t
seemed that every woman made
straight for the exchange to have q
good luncheon once more. With the
lunchrOOms full on ordinary occasions
this sudden exodus from their homes to
the exchange filed it to overflowing
Every one about the place fell to, clear
ed tables, took orders and helped in ev-
cry way to make the service more rap
id. But still the place was crowded
and the big central hall from which the
two lunchrooms are reached was
crowded with waiting women. Sud
denly there was a commotion among
them, for one woman had burst into
tears and was shaking with agonlzed
sobs. Every one was sympathetic and
tried to soothe the sufferer, visions Of
some dire grief rising before their eyes.
At last the unhappy one became calmer
and between the sobs put her sorrow
into words:
"l-I-have been-waiting a whole
week-for-for waffies, and now-now
l don't believe l am going to get any
after ALL"
Now that the exchange owns the
building it occupies 1t hopes to put on
an extension as soon as possible. and
this will enlarge 1t to provide more ad-
equate accommodations for its lunch
con guests.-New York Times.
