In Europe centuries ago, but which was over

and elemental capriceS, until only TWO sleoie'

gigantea and the Sequoia gigantea semper-
virens, both of which took up their permanent
abode in California Until the recent dlscoV-
cry, the General Grant tree, in General Grant
National Park the General Sherman in Sequoia
National Park, and two three other titanic
monarchs have reigned supreme in size, but
now their fame is Swallowed by the overtower-
ing dignity and majesty of the new rival.
The massive, f1uted trunk. straight and strong
as a granite pillar is covered with rick CHINA
mon brown bark almost two feet thick, and is
free from limbs to a height Of 10 feet, where
it is estimated to be eleven feet in diameter.
The branches clothed in dense foliage, radiate
symmetrcally from every side of the trunk
above this height, and form thick, fiat crown,
while myriads of cones futter like gay green
tassels on the outer borders of the foliage masses.
These cones are two and half inches long.
one and half wide, each having thirty or forty
strong closely packed rhombOidal scales, with
four to eight seeds at the base. The most pc
culiar thing about these is that they are the
smallest seeds produced by any OF the conlerS'
The cones grow in clusters on the tips OF the
branches and in one instance $40 cones were
counted OH a branch only one and half inches
in diameter. If not harvested by squirrels,
these cones will discharge their seeds and re-

being ripened annually by a single tree, the prod

the mountain ranges OF the world.
The blossoms appear toward the end Of winter.

sands of bees the ends of the branches. The
pistillate flowers about three-eighths of an
inch in length. and when the pollen is ready
the tree bustes with energy, tossing the golden
shower far and wide and high. There is
limit to the lives OF these trees, and unless
burned, undermined, blown down or shattered
by lightning they live on indefinitely. a curious
characteristic, indigenous to the species is that
if the top cut off by lightning a new one will
take its place. forming slowly, as with thought
full deliberation, but eventually assuming the
perfection of its predecessor.
Not until it reaches the age of 800 years does
this species attain its prime. For the first two

Of these trees has been estimated as being only
eight ten inches year. The root system of
these marvellous growths is enormous, for thou

sands of great brown coils radiate from every
side Of the massive trunk, gripping the earth
with the tenacity of anchors while lesser coils
weave a strong, spongy. matted platform just
below the surface, platform which at the base
of the new monarch covers area $50 feet in
width.
On this firm foundation the great tree stands,
looming above its followers, a yeritable KING
of the forest, peerless in its dignity. 1t is the
music hall of the birds. the playhouse of the
squirrels, and lofty that the morning sun
seems to rest on it's rafters, leaving them all
luminous and dripping with gold. while at night
its dome appears to be jewelled with stars ana

Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has re-
markable record. II has been in use for
over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of croup
in thousands of years, vet during all this
time no case has ever been reported to the
manufacturers in which it failed to effect
a cure. When given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy caugh appears, il will prevent the
attack. 1t is pleasant to take, many
children like it. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may be
