A .Jnnaneae Secret.


The Japanese gardeners make a Sc
cret Of the means by which the NINA
ture trees are produced; but, like many
other mysteries, the secret has been
discovered by the curious occidental.
1t Is simple enough, consisting only in
the cutting of the roots when they first
oegin to sprout
Suppose a miniature oak tree Is de.
sired. The Japanese gardener takes
an acorn and an orange. He carefully
scoops out the interior of the orange
and fills the skin with rich mold. Elk
actly in the center he places the acorn,
leaving a round hole in line with the
sprouting point He puts his orange
in q sunny place and waters it every
day.
Soon after the first shoot appears,
and in very short time afterward the
roots break through the orange skin.
These are shaved off continually. The
tree grows to about five inches high
and then stops. In a year it is a per-
feet miniature oak. When the roots
cease to grow. the ends are vanished
over and the orange Embedded in pot
or vase. The tree becomes more gnarl-
cd and stunted every year and is train
ed to whatever shape is desired.-New

Very Curious Weather.


At Alto Crucero water freezes every
night Of the year and the thermometer
frequently falls to 6. 8 and 10 degrees
below zero. There are no facilities for
artificial heat-not even fireplace
and people keep themselves warm by
putting on ponchos and other extra
wraps.
AT monday the sun is intensely hot,
because of the elevation and the rarity
of the atmosphere, and blisters the flesh
of those who are not accustomed to 1t.
There is a difference of 20 and some
times 80 degrees in the temperature OF
the shade and the sunshine. Water will
freeze in the shade while 20 feet away
men may be working in their shirt

The natives seem to be entirely
Injured to cold and 60 about barefooted
and barelegged over the ice and the

flocks are often out on the mountains
for weeks at time without shelter or
anything to eat except parched corn,
strips Of dried meat and coca leaves,
which are the most powerful of nerve
