ERREpRE ssIEIE EUCALYPTUS
sinsuEnr Seeding and Growth Under
the lost UnfRVOrabIc COndi-
tions CT S2pHng.

There has been a curious and conspic'
uous instance at the LOmaland home
stead Of the almost total indifference Of
the eucalyptus to water-at any rate, tn
rains, says the Point Iona (Cal.) New
Century Truth.
Early in the year few boughs in
tended for a bonfire we're carried to the
crest Of the hill, the highest point. near
the flagstaff The soil there is practi-
cally little other than the dry, red hard
pam almost utterly destitute OF any
vegetable ingredients. The boughs wers
brought up before the winter rainfall
such as it was, but that high ground was
soon quite dry. Moreover, the crest is
without any sort of shelter, bare to all
winds from all points of the compass,
especially from the eastern deserts and
the southern and western ocean.
One of these bOughs must have How
cred, and, after it had lain awhile Oh
theground, dropped seed capsules. In due
course delicate eucalyptus shoot broke
through the surface Of the soil, and all
through the absolutely dry succeeding
months to this date it has been serenely
growing. 1t is now December) healthy
little double sapling of about seven feet
in height, a growth, say, of six inches a
month. Once it had started, its steady
growth all through the subsequeDt
months in that baked and unpromising
soil must have been achieved on dew
only. For there were, 1 think, but
couple of trifing showers. Now the
rainy season is at hand, and there must
be great rejoicing and preparations
among the delicate green leaves.
To another little saping, then about
three feet high and visibly parched and
crinkled as to it's leaves for want OF wa
er, began Is months ago to give daily
pailful of water, and continued to do so
for IA months. In addition, it got the
dew Groppings from the roof OF a house
near at hand. In two or three days It
had perked up, and looked glossier and
fatter. In a week it had thrown out
hundreds Of new leaves. Since that t1Es
to now it has grown about Is or IA inches
month. If | had not a persOI~i ana
paternal attachment to it, should dig IL
up and examine its roots. For the daily
desc of water was placed in an earth
pi& of a couple of feet in diameter which
had dug around the trunk. To follow
the water the roots must therefore have
grown straight down and down-how
far? l really think l must take spade,
after all, in the interests OF science, In
spite Of lacerated affections! For eu-
calyptus roots are usually quite shallow
and extend widely beneath the surface
of the soil.
They are, however, great travellers
when in search Of water, and instances
are cited where eucalyptus roots have
gone from $50 to 2G0 feet for their Wa
ter supply.

American National Red Cross. at a meeting held
this afternoon at the home OF W. j. Boardman

Mr. Foster informed the remonstrants that he
had been requested by Senator Proctor char
man OF the Investigating committee. to act with
Richard Olney in forming plan for the reor-
ganization Of the American National Red Cross

reported that such a plan had been formulated
by which a new board OF trustees. with the pos
sible exception Of General Miles. and new off,
GERS were to be elected at the next meeting OF
the present trustees OF the society, from a slate
prepared with the joint approval OF Messrs. Fos-
ter and OIney. This plan had been signed ny
