]. T. P. MORGAN AT CARNIyAr,.

New York, March 2.--J. Pierpont Morgan was an active participant in the carnival festivities this afternoon Sunday, cables the Tribune's Havana representative. From the balcony of his hosts home he threw confetti and serpentinas at the passing masquerad- CTS with real boyish delight. He was plainly in good humor. Earlier in the day he attended jai alai, or Spanish basket ball game. The arrival of the fnanoier has caused quite commo- ton in Havana, where he visits for the first time. He is the topic of the day, and many guesses are made as to his mission here.

The team viii not be called championship one, but as it will comprise Buckmas- ter himself, Freake and the two Nich- o1s, it will be fairly representative of the full strength of the country.

The "Tree of Life. "

The expression tree Of life" has
more than n biblical or symboical
meaning according TO modern science.
All animal life upon this planet is de-
pendent upon the green iron-containinG
substance called "chlorophyll," which
gives their summer colorings to trees,
grass and shrubs. Green, not blood
red. is the llfo-color.
English scientists have figured out
that such schemes as Sir Oliver Lodges
proposed reforesting of the English
Black Country would help TO eke out
the three millions of years for which
astronomers tell us the sun will con.
tlnue TO make animal life possible.
