Most Expensive Tree In World.

Probably the most expensive tree
in the world is in the city Of London,
on the corner of Cheapside and Wood
street, about midway between the
Bank of England and ST. Paul's. II
is an enormous oak and is said to be
100 years old. 1t is protected by a
clause in the deed of the property
which forbids destruction of tree or
branches. Architects were compelled
to plan rather peculiar building to
avoid the branches. There it stands
in the corner of one of the busiest
streets in London, occupying ground
of enormous value-and positively
the only tree in the city of London
outside of the parks.

How Snakes Decoy Birds.

That the rattlesnake uses his tail
to decoy birds has been observed a
number of times by correspondent
of the Scientific American, who says:
"The snake hides himself in the tall
grass and initiates the buZzing of a
bee. The insectivorous birds, such as
the phoebe and kirgbird, are attract
ed by the sound, and become an easy
prey for his snakeship. | have seen
rattlesnakes concealed in the dense
foliage of trees twenty feet from the
ground practicing the same deception
on the birds and getting the bird
every time.
