LAND-PRobUCINo TREE.

1t Arises from the Sea and Adds to the
Surface of the Earth.
Every one has read of large islands
being produced by the mineral deoes-
Its Of innumerable coral animals, bu.
few people know that there exists q
tree which, like the coral island, arises
from the sea and adds to the surface
Of the earth. Some twenty years ago
a schooner. while sailing along the
South American coast. was wrecked
on q sand bank. The captain of the
vessel CHANGED to have a number of
seeds, which we now know were given
him as a token Of friendship Ly a
Mexican. In the confusion Of the
wreck these seeds were lost in the
sand, and, finding their way into the
soil, took root. The tree which arose
Is such as is found only in the tropi-
cal countries of America. Like a mon
strous vine 1t crawls along the ground
and spreads with marvellous rapidly.
Its huge branches interlaee and form
a surface as solid as earth. The i'm
menss vine first grows under water
along the sand, and then, like the coral
rising upon itself, at last comes above
the sea. The sand stretches for miles
and miles beneath the surface Of the
ocean, 80 that there seems no limit to
this monstrous tree.

Chinese Cofans in q Field,

A common sight in China is the ex-
posed coffin or casket containing, Of
course, the corpse of some departed
Celestial, without any covering Of
earth or inclosing tomb.
The first and highest ambition Of
every Chinaman is to have a splendid
coffin, and he will half starve himself
and family for years in order to &C.
Quire the coveted casket. The buying
Of 1t does not depend at all upon the
state Of his health, but Of his finances,
and in this connection many will re-
call the statement that Ii Hung
Chang, when he made his tour of the
United States, took his coffin with him.
When the coffin is purchased, it is
given the place Of honor in the house
and is looked upon as the most valua.
BILE piece of furniture In 1t. AS no
Chinese family of any pretensions
would seem lacking in respect for it's
head, dead or alive, the Chinese son
will deprive himself of comforts for
half his life that he may be able to
present his father with a fine coffin on
his sixty-irst birthday, and when his
reVered parent dies he will give q gor.
geous send off" at the funeral, even
If he has to wait many moons to do so.

Rev. Edward Dunbar, who wrote the
old religious song, There's a Light In
the Window for Thee, Brother" sleeps
in pauper's grave at Coffeyville, Kan,
where he died tramp in the town
Jail ten years ago. His name became
byword in the places where he was
known, and from a prison cell he went
forth q vagabond on the face of the
earth. In 1857 he was arrested at
Leavenworth, while engaged In hold
ing series of revival meetings, ana
taken to Minneapolis, where he was
tried for bigamy, convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for three
years and eight months. One night,
in the spring Of 1890, Dunbar applied
at the Coffeyville jail for lodging. He
was Ill, and the authorities took him
in. He died the next day. Papers In
his pocket revealed his identity, and
showed that he had trampeu all over
the country. Some church people have
lately erected q marble slab over his
grave. on which these words are In
scribed: "here lies Edward Dunbar,
who wrote There's q Light In the
Window for, Thee, Brother"

Salmon in Alaska.

In the twenty years ending in 1897
over 6O0,0O0,000 pounds Of salmon
were caught in Alaska. An article by
Commissioner Moser, printed in the
Bulletin of the United States Fish
Commission for 1893, give the history
Of the salmon fisheries Of Alaska,
Most Of the enormous catch has been
made in the past few years. The out
put of the Alaska canneries, for exam
pie, in the year 1897 was about 43,6OO,-
600 cans. "
1t is not to be wondered at that the
streams Of Alaska are becoming de.
pleted Of their salmon. This regret.
able fact is caused not by everlasting
alone, but by "barricading," a process
whereby the fish are actually prevent
ed from ascending the streams to
spawn. They are thus compelled to
remain in the lower waters awaiting
the pleasure Of the packers. Although
barr.cading is punishable by heavy
tine and Imprisonment the laws have
not yet been adequately enforced, and
an industry now yielding 100000
annually is threatened with extinction

Ars of Letter writlun

In the good old days when postage
was 80 high people wrote small hands
and crowded a great deal of news and

than a single sheet. writing on both
sides and crossing the lines. The

that cheap postage has destroyed the

HEAVY ELEPHANTS.
Tho Weight OF Sid Is Given at s,sBs


Pounds.
There has been little said about the
size OF elephants since the death OF
Jumbo few years ago at st. Thomas,
Canada. 1t Is now claimed that "Sid,"
the giant elephant Of the Forepaugh
& Sells Brothers circus herd, is not
only the largest elephant in captivity,
but weighs more than Jumbo in his
paimiest days. Sid's weight is given
at 1888 pounds, while that of Jumbo
was advertised broadcast as being
S,l76 pounds. The latter was taller,
but did not have Sid's massive proper
lions. Readers will recall a novel
race run about year ago in which
q comparison was made between
the sprinting ability OF an elephant. q
camel, horse. q bicycle, and an auto
mobile. The race was pulled off at
Rtdgewood Park. Brooklyn, and three
heats furnished proof that the ele-
plant racer was Sid, whose great
tusks were extended just in time to
save the day.
But Sid will win no more races with
his tusks. In ct Of rage two weeks
ago at Columbus, o., he killed his
keeper, Patsy Meagher Forepaugh,
whereupon he was placed under chains
and the worries were sawed off close
to his chin. Sid furnished objection
to the saving proceedings, but to no
avail. The tusks were polished and
gold mounted and now adorn the
home Of Lewis Sells at Columbus. O.
