TREES, CURIOUS OR HISTORIC.
Rare Aloe Wood Tree.
From the Bombdu Gazette


The alCe wood tree is a native Of the noun
tains east and southeast Of Sylhet, in Bur-
nah, and In Bengal 1t is valuable on 40
count OF dark, resinous, aromatic juice
with which the wood is sometimes gorged.
This resin. or agar as 1t is oolloQuially termed.
is used for it's perfume and supposed medic
inal properties 1t is very costly and is
used both for incense In religious and other
oeremonials and also In the preparation OF a
perfume called agar altar. which is practi-
cally as costly as altar Of roses-
The most interesting feature in connection
with the aloe wood tree is the uncertainty
as to whether any particular tree will be
found to contain the precious resin. A
tribe Of hill men known to the natives as agar
knnlahs make it their business to search for
the resinous wood Their trade is a secret
which they always endeavor to preserve
from all natives of other tribes. party of
agar kumlahs goes of into the mountains with
provisions for as long as three months, and
they prosecute their tedious search In dis
tricts where probably human being is not
seen from one month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and hacked
to pieces before 1t can be ascertained whether
they contain any of the resinous deposit, and
sometimes after wearisome search through
half dozen trees, young and old, not single
piece Of agar 10 discovered. Again, II may
be that rich find is made and then the COL
lector Is repaid for half a month of work.

springs. In Bumpass's He'll you can find
springs Of ice cold water within six feet of
springs of boiling water and there are
geysers throwing hot water to height Of
perhaps seventy-fve feet. Tartarus Lake
is always steaming and it is impossible on
this account to get good photograph Of it.
The best way to reach this region is to
go to Orovilie from San Francisco by rail,
and thence by a two days stage ride to
Quincy, Plumas county. Then you get
your own outfit, although you can stage
part of the way, and travel northeast
about 100 miles, as the roads GO, to Hot
Spring Valley, which is within easy reach
of Cinder Cone, returning by way of Nor
gan's Springs, Bumpasss He'll and Lassen
Peak. One must be provided with tents, for
there are no hotels or lodging places.
1t is strange that Cinder Cone is not better
known. 1t is the most complete, the small
est and, barring Alaska and Mexico the
most recent volcano in North America,
and indisputably the most recent in the
United States.

tain. All about are vast forests Astounding
in game, mountain streams teeming with
trout and broad fertile meadows where the
grass in summer grows waist high.
There are no permanent settlers in the
region Immediately about Cinder Cone
Thus far the region has been too remote
Stock is sometimes found in the hills, but
only market hunters and pelt trappers
frequent the country.
The early coming OF the Western Pacific
Railway through Plumas county will open
up country as rich as any in the West,
This railroad will be part Of transconti-
mental line. Surveys were long ago COM
pleted and the grades are now being built.
Ten miles from Cinder Cone in Plumas
county are found hot water springs and
geysers more remarkable than those Of the
Yellowstone. There are also the beautiful
Hot Spring Valley, Bumpass's He'll, Tartarus
Lake and the geysers near Willow Lake

IN DARKEST RICHMOND.
Inland Places OF Staten Island That New
Workers Hear Little Of

The discovery Of number of packages
OF missing mail in the town Of Linoleum-
vile, Staten Island, gave many persons
their first knowledge'that there was such
place, and fewer persons still, probably
are aware that 1t is a part Of the city OF
New York, q town in Richmond borough,
with population of about 800.
Staten Island has been a part of the city
Of New York since 1898, but it's absorption
into the city has failed to make people
much better acquainted with parts of it.
Along the railroad and trolley systems
points on Staten Island are well known
to other New Workers. Many inland places
are as remote from the knowledge OF the
rest Of the city as II part Of Westchester
or settlements in some other State.
Few New Workers, for instance, are aware
that Travisville is q part of the second
largest city in the world, and the largest
city on the Western continent. Still fewer.
perhaps, have ever heard OF Willow Brook,
Wood Row, Bulls Head or Graniteville.
Yet all these places are known to residents
Of Staten Island, and some of them are of
local importance.
The failure of Staten Islanders, generally,
to come into New York, comprehensive Is
probably due to the fact that the meens
of communication between Manhattan
Island and Staten Island have not cor
responded to the requirements Of a com
plete political union, That defect u In
course of being remedied.

The lava as 1t cooled built up the portion
broken down, 30 that the cone is remark
ably symmetrical. Where one comes first
upon the lava field and Cinder Cone the
impression OF newness Is very vivid.
Tho great trees at the edge Of the lava
appear to have withered but few months
before. One looks in vain for steam ris-
ing from the crater and feels disappointed
at seeing no visible signs Of heat within the
thick lava field. Indeed, in winter time
there is solid ice within the crater.
1t Is difficult to ascend Cinder Cone at
any point except where the lava flowed.
The sides Of the upper portion Of the cone
are made up Of volcanic fragments ranging
in size from that OF a pea to chunks four
or five inches in thickness. At each step
these slide down under ones weight. The
slopes are steep.
On attaining the summit one is surprised
to find that the crater has two rims, one
within the other end separated by a shallow

moat which encircles the great funnel
shaped depression in the centre.
The lava field covers large part of an
ancient lake bed part OF which is now
covered with water. One can see in places
where the lava is superposed upon the
original bottom.
The lava flowed into Lake Bidwell and
changed its course so that the lake ad-
vanced upon the forests. In this way
Snag Lake was formed. The snags are
evidently the trunks of trees killed by
having their roots submerged.
Snag Lake has no outlet and all it's water
except that lost by evaporation must es-
cape through the lava field. During the
rainy season, on account of the barrier
which the lava imposes, the water rises
over dozen feet. On it's southwest border
the lava field forms two small basins, each
Of which contains water in wet weather.
Cinder Cone is situated in a wild and
interesting region. len miles to the north
east is Lassen Peak, a snow covered noun

The first eruption doubtless spit forth
steam and gases to a great height and,
at times, flames. Cinders and ashes brought
utter desolation to the place. Huge molten

cred it, reported progress and generously
gave away his brand new marks. These
marks took in the modern improvements,
and the few fortunate .possessors Of them
find fishing there now like that OF the good
old days, thanks to clean water.
BY running across the Main Ship Channel
and putting 1t on the starboard hand, the
Sidewalk Leading to the Romer is reached.
That sidewalk is the line Of comparative
safety, where there is no danger of being
steamers that keep the channel. The
channel now Is like a railroad track, good
enough for tramps, but dangerous for
e1oursionists, especially in small boats.
the places OF sailboats: A sail there now
is behind the time and looks as melancholy
as butterfly in November.
The few weakfisb that have been taken
at the Romer this season were unusually
large, running from five to nine and a half
pounds. The average run In former years
was from three and half to five pounds.
At Sandy Hook the run and the numbers
are about the same as at the Romcr, but
from time to time the blues make the fisher
After leaving the Rop eT and .lSe crossing the
Swash and Main Ship channels, a run in
toward the Jersey shore and along toward
the mouth of the Raritan Is bound to be en-
joyed, in spite OF the outstretching pound
nets, always troublesome and often danger
grounds along that shore are forgotten;
but some are still remembered, and there Is
plenty of room for new discoveries.
No man knows all the haunts Of the
fishes. This statement may hurt the feel
ings OF q few conceitad casters. But who
cares about them2 Their long and weari-
some dauber watching, always in their own
fayorite grounds, tends to make them weak
minded.
Point Comfort, Point Conaskonck and
Keyport are soon passed. Then, keeping
well in shore, the boat comes under the
picturesque highlands Of Clifwood.
Here, about eighty or a hundred yards
from the beach, there il a queer cluster of
boulders, forming little island surrounded
6y luxurious growth Of eel grass, Usually
the boatmen keep a stake and bush In front
OF IT, for at high water 1t is nearly covered,
and its halo OF eel grass is not luminous at
night.
and clear, one can easily see that this queer
bunch Of boulders is the head or the tail of
long line of round rocks running in close
Indian file, from Cliffwood toward Staten
Island. Some anglers say that scientific
men long ago discovered that this little
rocky island is the end Of great row OF
rocks reaching as far as the Narrows. Well,
II this be so, the long, winding thing must
be the petrified backbone OF the father Of
sea serpents, and the island was probably
his head
For years the boatmen thought that the
Bunch Of Rocks was good enough name
for it, but about seven years ago a party of
fishermen from New York paid it visit,
In the hope OF catching striped bass and
tide runners. They caught longtailed dog
fish, slimy toadfsh, vampiTesque skates and
bandylegged spider crabs. On leaving it
IN disgust, they named 1t the Devils Island.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-09-11

and that name Is sticking to It, although at
high water there are few better spots for
fishing.
1t is only short run from the Devils
Island to Cheesequake Creek, of big bass
fame. On the way home the boat passes
through the fishing fleets OF Princes Bay,
Richmond Beach and the mouth of the
Great Kills. The last named is the favorite
resort Of New York anglers, on account Of
its safety, its comfort and the excellent
sport which it affords to all who know how
to handle a rod and reel
And when the trip is over, and the sea
rovers return, tired perhaps from the toss;
landscapes which their little boat seemed
to set in motion before their eyes, as 1t
rolled out some Of the pretty portions Of
the coasts Of New Jersey and Staten Island,

dusty city OF New York.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-09-11

gets O glimpse OF strange little building
which looks like an old ruin, but in reality
is very modern ruin, not more than ten
years old. It Is facsimile OF one Of the
churches Of st. Cuthbert in England that
date back to the seventh or eighth century.
As the good saint is supposed to be the pa
tron Of sailors, all the woodwork in the
interior Of this little modern-antque build
ing was taken, according to the strict orders
OF Its builder, the late Cuthbert Mills, from
the hulls Of old ships and boats. OF course,
tho wood selected was well seasoned and
sound.
Inside that little church Of the saint OF
salts everything Is salty, and everything Is
simple, pure and artistic. In the days
when the beautiful cedar groves lined
the South Beach, like an unfinished frame
for the landscapes beyond that romantic
little church would have been picturesque
affair indeed. But now, after the invasion
Of the Raines law hotel men, the showmen,
the frankfurter-sausage men and all the
other men who came to improve this land,
it seems sadly out OF place.
About half a mile further on toward
New Dorp. after passing all the hotels,
there Is another building worth noticing,
the house in which Tweed was sheltered
after his escape, and in which he remained
for some weeks before he was taken away
at night in the rowboat which carried him
to the tug from which hs was put on board
the vessel that took him to Spain. Strange
stories OF the dime novel type are told Of
that old homestead, and the superstitious
have already marked it in their catalogue
OF haunted houses in Aquahongua.
After running by fleet of small boats
manned by anglers busy with schoolfsh
the mouth OF the New Creek is reached
just why 1t is called the New Creek is not
easy to tell for in reality it Is the old creek
or all that remains Of it. However, a sec
ond-hand creek is as good as a new one.
At all events, the mouth Of it, like the
hindquarters OF mule, is often enough
good thing to keep at a respectful dis
tance Tor the shoal runs out for about
quarter Of mile, and when n storm is
brewing and a ground swell rolling, boat
men give it a wide berth. A little beyond
the outer bank of that shoal and in about
ten or twelve feet Of water immense weak
fish used to be taken some years ago, and
had no reason to be dissatisfied.
About mile to the southwest Of the
Lower Quarantine Island the boat gets
into the neighborhood OF an old wreck,
the stubs Of which lie about fifteen feet
below the surface. This was a oh dice
fishing ground about twenty-five years ago.
It could be easily located by landmarks;
but, as buildings, come and go and trees
are cut down, the old landmarks were
lost and, Of course, the fishermen lost the
wreck. But they did not regret it, for the
weakfsh had ceased to hover around IL,
and for many years the place was deserted.

The boys father was a farmer and sold
