WONDERFUL
TROPICAL FORESTS.
Trees About Which the World
Knows Almost Nothing.

Trees AbOut Which the World
Knows Almost Nothing.
Although so many naturalists and
botanists have been exploring tropical
regions for so many years, there still
is a great deal of ignorance concern
ing tropical trees. 1t is known that
there are many hundred varieties
which never have been described and
which are hardly identified even by
name.
This curious state of affairs is duo
to the conditions of tropical forests.
In temperate zones, forests ara
| fairly open and they are generally
| composed of trees of only a few
species. Thus, there are oak forests,
hickory forests, etc, but rarely any
kinds of trees exist together in any
| number.
In the tropics. the case is exactly
| the opposite. Forests composed OF
| one kind of trees or even of only three
| or four kinds, are practically unknown.
! SO many different kinds of trees grow
| closely together that sometimes more
than a hundred varieties can be count
| ed within q short radius.
And all these grow mixed together
| III dire confusion. They tower prodi-
| gally. Each tree is trying it's best to
| reach the sunlight. Consequently the
| trunks are immensely long and thin,
| because each tree is reaching to get
| higher than it's neighbors in order to
| escape the eternal twilight of the trop-
| ical primeval forest.
| Leaves and branches are so con-
| fused that in many forests one can
| see neither sky nor sunlight for miles.
| because the crowns of the trees inter-
| lace and form thick, impenetrable
roof.
To add to the confusion, immense
| vines and creepers and hundreds OF
varieties of vegetable parasites over
| grow the trunks.
To cut down any one tree for exam
| nation is practically impossible, for
| the forest is too thick for 1t to fall
| even after its trunk has been cut
through. 1t would be necessary to
clear all around it. and that is not the
| kind of work that is conducive to
/ health or comfort in the tropics.
| Hence the world still knows hardly
| anything about scores of the wonder
full trees of the tropical world.

The Beautiful Woman.

{.
A woman s always entertaining when
she talks OF .ntatrltnony, and so We nave
been entertained BY an article on that
subject contributed to the Chicago Trit
bune w Hclen oldneld. The article deals
especially with pretty candidates for mat
rin,ony, and mon are warned that The
who naarries q beauty takes heavy
chances. and ts rarely as happily mated
al ne who Is oontented with a wife pos
sessed Of merely an ordinary share OF
good looks.
Tho argument Is that the beautiful
woman lis almost sure to be badly spoilt.
Accustomed to regard herself as per

she is selfish and inconsiderate Or other

Nor is the beautiful woman apt, IN the
opinion Of Miss Oldheld. to be useful. Tor
she is taught from her childhood that her
business In life Is to be ornamental.
Moreover, the beautiful woman falls into
the habit Of receiving the homa go OF
men, and is usually disposed to hold cou t
even after she Is married. She IS nor
content with the homage Of one man
Therefore, 1t IS the advice OF Miss Old

There Is heard in Savannah the same
complaint that IS heard IN many other
American cities4.that there Is lack OF
good material drawn for Jurors. Inc
fact, however. is that good. worthy re-
liable men too often secure exemption OF
enter excuses which relieve them from O.
duty which should fall impartaally upon
every clifton. However, 1t ts a good thlns
for a city to be stirred up on this suo-
tect from time to time. Such discussions
are sure to be educational. The consci-
entious man will ask himself II ne Is
doing his duty to his neighbors III eS-
cusing himself from Jury service. CIVIC
pride ought to make the good citizen
willing to do few days jury service
each year. The business man wants COCA,
sensible. trusty jurymen to try cases III
which he Is interested. but 1t IS rare that
he himself Is willing to go into jury
box. Yet turn about is only fair play
and the desired reform In the jury service
in the average American city will never
come about until leading citizens refuse
to claim exemptions and express desire
to do their part of this duty to the pub
lie.
