The Sneezc wood Tree.

The remarkable sneeze wood tree is a
native of Natal and other parts OF
South Africa It's funny name was
given to it because one cannot saw 1t
without sneeZing violently.
The dust Of its wood has just the
same effect as the strongest snuff and
is so irritating to the nose that work
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting it.
If a piece Of the wood Of this tree !s
put in the mouth, it is found to have a
very bitter taste, and no doubt 1t IS this
bitterness which prevents insects OF
any kind from attacking the timber OF
the "sneeze wood" tree.
The fact that insects find it so dlsa-
greeable makes its wood very valuable
for work that is required to last long
time.
