Japanese Art symbols.

patton of happiness be draws a picture
which IS a combination OF an April
evening, a moon, a nightingale and a
plum tree or two. Victory Is sym
bollzed by the iris, grace and quiet

times indicated by a spray of cherry
blossoms The almond flower Is the
flower Of spring and symbolizes beauty.
The dragon twines and writhes an
artistic course through all Japanese

of religion fighting against power. A
dragon floating about in the clouds

CnterniIlnrn of skim.

In the sal-tree forest OF Skim, in the
tropical gorge of the Teesta. is one of
the breeding grounds of the myriad
BUTTERFLIES that swarm over the coun-
try. A famous traveller says that In
May and until the middle of June the
tender leaves of the great sal-trees are
literally alive with voraclous caterpil-
lars. The presence Of these caterpillars
in such overwhelming numbers is ex-
planned by the fact that they are dis
tasteful to birds. Fowls that were offer
ed them rejected them after a trial
with disgust and went on wiping their
bills for some time afterward. There
are two species, one a bright coral and
the other green with stripes. They can
break their fall from the tall trees by
letting themselves down on long silky
threads

Worked the TIRern.

Near Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
Is a prosperous rubber factory run by
long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
Is made it Is necessary to puncture the
bark Of the trees. Laborers are scarce
In that district, but there Is an album
dance of tigers. There were not
enough men to tap" the. trees, but the
Scotch proprietor hit on a brilliant
idea. He knew that tigers are fond of
valerian, so he gave orders that all the
trees should be rubbed with this stuff.
The tigers came up and caresslngly
scratched the bark In the most ap-
proved herringbone fashion, after
which all that the coolies had to do
was to walk around once a day and
collect the rubber.
