some Curious Trees

Among the curiosities of tree life is the
solar. or zlwhistling tree, Of Nubia. When
the winds blow over this tree 1t gives out
fute-like sounds, playing away to the
wilderness for hours at time strange,
weird melodies.
It is the spirits of the dead singing
among the branches, the natives say; but
the scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myraid of small holes
which an insect bores In the spines Of the
branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary islands is
another arboreal freak This tree, In the
dryest weather, will rain down showers
from its leaves, and the natives gather
UP the water from the pool formed at the
foot Of the trunk and find it pure and
fresh.
The tree exudes the water from fnnu-
merable pores situated at the base of the
leaves.
In Japan they have a tree called the
smoking tree. 1t is a small tree and has
little to attract attention were 1t not for
the fact that most of the time little
cloud apparently of smoke hangs over it a
few feet above the topmost branches. It
looks exactly as IL the trunk of the tree
were smoking chimney.
phenomenon is caused by an eman-
alton which the tree gives out under the
effects Of sunlight.
In Ceylon grows tree called "Eve's
apple tree It is the fruit Of this tree
which makes 1t remarkable It Is beau
tiful fruit to look at deep red on the In

For this reason, and because the fruit

the tree is that which grew in the Garden
Of Eden and was called the Tree of the
knowledge OF Good and EVIL.

Japan,s "Human Horses.u

The feats of which the Japanese rick
shawmen are capable are almost incred-
ible. I remember some years ago being
driven ashore In a yacht in the Inland
sea during q typhoon. 1t was far be-
yond the treaty limits which then exist
ed, and foreigners were not allowed to
cial passports. But the mayor of the
nearest fishing village was kindness it
self. He promised to supply the best
rickshawmen which the neighborhood
could produce. so as to take US to rail-
way station some forty miles away. And
he kept his word, for the distance was
covered in less than six hours, including
q halt for refreshments Each Tickshaw
was drawn by two men, tandem wise,
the usual fashion when long distances
have to be covered. The leaders in each
went through the whole distance, while
the wheelers, SO to speak, were changed

of the distance little better than a noun
