A Cypress Tree In Mexico Over 6,OOO

A statement recently made that there
are yews in England that are the old

correct, says the St Louis Globe-D Demo
crat.
These yews cold. very, very old there
is no doubt about that Some Of them
were stalwaft trees even before Caesar
landed on those shores. There is one
now standing in the chuehyard at
! Fertingai in Perthshire, which Ocean

satisfaction of bOtanists to he over
twenty-five centuries old and another

enormous age of these living trees is 4

less well known today to all. The
yew, like most other trees. adds one
line about one-tonth of an incm to it's
circumference each year, lie proved
this after an investigation extending
over several years, and we know now,
100 years later, that his deductions
We're correct. The old yew at Hedsor

Still it is not the oldest organic mon

proved that huge cypress tree, stand

feet and 10 inches in circumference, is
older than it-older. too, by more than n
thousand years for it has been shown

A correspondent of the San Fran.

nature and marvel Of the medical sci
entists fs the change Of color which is
gradually creeping over the body Of a
negro porter, Charles Hugo Bell, in
Colusa. Mutation began several years
ago. The spots of white have spread
to the face and hands. Although the
victim OF this strange disease suffers
no Ill effects at present. he has been
advised that as soon as the complete
change takes place death will ensue.
At present he is employed at hard Ia
Dor and enjoys life, but Is the subject
Of much curiosity.
Bell was born in Columbia, Georgia,
in 1866. His parents were fullblooded
negroes. coming direct from Africa as

one OF these attacks. in which nearly
lost my life, concluded to quit and

white jackets are busy all the time

what is more. the public has been SO
trained that 1t never throws papers

A strange sight It is to an American
walking down the Strand between 3

the shopkeepers leisurly opening their
iron shutters or gates or the boy only
just beginning to sweep out the store.
The street is crowded. at this late
