Ewes Apple Tree.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Ewes teeth is one of the many bo-
tanicai curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of "the forbidden
fruit" or "Eve's apple tree" The
blossom has a very pleasant scent,
but the really remarkable feature of
the tree, the one to which it owes its
name, is the fruit. It is beautiful
and hangs from the tree in a peculiar
manner. Orange on the outside and
deep crimson within, each fruit has
the appearance of having had a piece
bitten out of it. This fact, together
with it's poisonous quality, says the
Liverpool Post, led the Mohammed-
ans to represent it as the forbidden
fruit of the garden Of Eden and to
warn men against its ncxious pro-
perties.

occurred, though Mr.. Long claimed
before his death, that his Office had

for it. It is a fact, however, that
these shortages often occur because
of bad bookkeeping, though in some
