OVERLOOK AND JACK RILEY

Most Wonderful Trees.

The baobab tree is considered one
OF the most wonderful of the vege-
table kingdom. 1t appears that moth
ing can kill this tree, hence it reaches
an astonishing age as well as enor-
nous size. The natives make q strong
cord from the fibres of the bark. hence
the trees are continually barked, but
without damage, as they soon put
forth new bark. 1t appears impervi-
Gus to fire ana even the axe is resisted,

1t would not he justice to Califor-
mia to ignore the sequoia, which is a
native OF our own dear hearth. Until
the recent discovery OF the Australian
eucalyptus, which is rs large, the Sc
quota was regarded as the most gigan-
tic of the vegetable products, not
uncommon diameter being thirty to
tblrty-six feet, while its height is esti-
mated at from 30 to $50 feet.

Latest Note in Horses. Hats.

Variety or novelty in the fashion of
hats for horses cannot reasonably be
expected. but correspondent calls at
tantion TO two ingenious devices. One
was of the ordinary poke bonnet vari-
ETY. in green. but 1t was made more
elaborate by the insertion in the crown
of fan, which revolved by the action
OF the air as the horse moved The
other fashion in equine hats was seen
in the country, and consisted Of several
small branches OF foliage stuck into
the harness. with tho advantage that
the projection extended right down the
spine OF the horse. An inexpensive
outfit. no doubt. says the London
Chronicle. but II would scarcely DO for
London streets.
