 There is a peculiar tree In the for ests Of Central India, which has curi- ous characteristics, The leaves of the tree are of a highly sensitive nature. and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them receives an cleo tric shock. It has a singular effect upon a magnetic needle and will influ- ence it at a distance of seventy feet. The electrical strength of the tree varies according to the time of day. it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight. In wet weather its pow CTS disappear altogether. Birds never approach the tree, nor have insects ever been seen upon 1t. The paragraph does not say whether the forest has been wired up and this natural supply of electricity put to a useful purpose. sss&

There are five 'berths' in this. and not many bed rooms are more comfortable Three beds were put in | the loft of the barn, and one in the granary, which was occupied by two | cOlored cooks. Mir. Pennington and | family sleep in some of these impro- vised sleeping quarters, turning their | home over to their guests. Mrs. Rob- ertson provided extra room by putting up three tents. She and her family and all it's branches, sleep in the tents, and the guests have the house. In order to visit with every one, the guests who are at Robertson's one day ! progress to Pennington's the next and those at Pennington's are sent to | Robertson's.'
