We think Of q tree as cooling agent
because its shade protects us from the
heat of the sun, but it cools the air in
another way that is not generally
known; In fact, it cools the air around
1t as a lump of ice cools vessel Of
water.
The tree has body temperature of
about As degrees, just as we have
body temperature of 9S degrees,
which is not affected by outside infiu-
ences. 1t is the trees blood heat, SO
to speak So that the air around it is
cooled by the tree itself as well as by
the shade it makes.
When a tree in full leaf is struck by
strong wind we wonder that it is not
torn all to pieces. And SO it would be
but for the way the limbs and twigs
are arranged by nature. That arrange
ment is such that the effect OF the
wind is broken. for the limbs sway and
move in hundred directions instead
OF one, and the force Of the blast is so
scattered that it is comparatively
harmless.
If the limbs all moved at once in the
same direction no tree could escape
being torn apart.

some dark shade to correspond with that

Ali the points of fashion. except the
train, mark the costumes shown for

floor or touch it. Sleeves are elaborate
ly picturesque. and the hips are made
slight by many devices in narrow down
running tucks and pleats. If the gradu-
ating girl is too much like lead pencil
in figure. puffed hip-yoke or deep en-
circling tucks may build her out at this
point. But the tendency is to have the
costume below the waist look as much
like an inverted Y as possible, which
means, if the fad increases, that We will
come TO lacins again after awhile.
Meantime, the waist is left at COM
Portable limit. but the sioping girdle is
intended to decrease the effect Of its size.

yesterday from Honolulu and in the
evening left up for Portland. She is
the latest in steam vessels to carry
wheat from Portland anG is charteded
by the Northwest Warehouse Com
pany. She is to take full cargo OF
the cereal to Bay City and will start
early next month. 1t has been estimat
ed the total amount to be loaded by the
steamer will approximate 2SOo tons.
The cause of the taking of the Leela-
nav is due to the heavy call made by
the San Francisco shippers and mill
ers for wheat. Considerable wheat
has been sent there from northwest
points and during the past few weeks
thousands of bushels have been ship
ped. Besides rail shipments the coast
ing steamers have carried cargos to
San Francisco and San Pedro.
