Teddy ought to be ashamed Of him

West Point that he ordained when sec

never was member OF the legislature

LleHTEsT WOOD THAT GROWS.
Found in Missouri and Il Is Consider
ably Lighter Than Cork.

ably Lighter man CoTk.
Deep in the boys and swamps of
southeastern Missouri, in Dunklin
and Butler counties, where the land
is never dry and water from one to
six feet deep stands perpetually in the
forests, there grows a rare and curious
tree. The natives know it as the cork
wood, or cork tree. Science has given
it a longer name, the Leitneria tiori-
dana, floridana because it was first
discovered in Florida along the coast,
from which it has long since been
washed away. Some meagre speci-
mems of it, two to six feet high, are
still found in the swamp near Appa-
lachicola. Fla, and few near Warner,
Ark. but in both these places it Is
exceedingly limited in numbers, an
occasional specimen being found, and
hardly rises to the dignity Of a tree,
Only in southeast Missouri, where it
reaches a height CT fifteen 20 twenty
feet and a diameter Of two 80 five
inches, is it really tree
What makes the coTkWood so re.
markable is its exceeding lightness.
Beyond a doubt it is, as Mr.. William
Trelease of the Missouri Botamcai
Garden has shown, the lightest tree
in weight that grows. It's wood weighs
less than cork. 1t is SO light that
the natives use it to make floats for
their fishing nets. And yet its wCod,
though so spongy that one may easily
sink ones finger nail in it, is FAR
tougher than cork. The specific gray
ity of corkwoCd, as learned from care
full tests made by Prof. Nipher in St.
Louis, is 207. The roots are even
lighter than the stem; a test showed
them to have the astonishingly low
specific gravity of 10.
A further idea of the lightness Of
the corkwood may be gained by a
comparison with other woods. The
great majority Of woods range between
400 and 500. Cork itself is .240. The
tree that approaches closest to the
corkwood in lightness is the golden
fir tree, which grows in the swamps
around Tampa Bay and along the
Indian River, Florida It's specific
gravity, according to Sargent, is 2616.
In comparison with the corkwood.
which is the lightest wood with itA
specific gravity Of .207, may be placed
the heaviest wood known, the black
ironwood of Florida whose specific
gravity is 1302.-Kansas City Star.

You have no rainfall to bother you,

does everything. On either hand
stretches away the bare desert, rising
up in gray, rocky hills. Down the
midst runs the one long line of allu-

which alone allows cultivation and life
in that rainless district. The country
bases itself absolutely on mud. The
crops are raised on 1t. the houses and
villages are built Of it, the land Is
manured with it, the very air Is full
of it. The crude brick buildings that
