plog himself indefinitely in the famous
Botanical Garden i'm BuiJcnZor.-.
While Batavia is the nominal capital
Of Netherlands India. the governor
general lives at Buitenzors city
built OH i mountain slope 40 miles
from Batavia, where an altitude Of
some 200 feet gives an average tenn
pefaturc Of eight degrees below that
Of tn. sea coast. The Botanical Car
den surrounds the palace, and FOR
nearly = century the authorities have
been collecting - cilneas Of th@ flora
OF tie tropics.
IL present superintendent Of the
garden, iIcrr Nlsman. is an enthusi-
aat - his line. ANA We are ind btcd 20
him for Q most enjoyable tour through
the garden. The main entrance leads
Through All avenue Of gigantic kanarl
trees eet somc 10 feet apart and form
ing Il Eerdlnt roof that entirely cH-
cludess tho 4An. The officials believe
that hey have mad" this tn1 most 1T
tractINe driveway in the world. and
50 far as my observation goes they are
justified in their claim Climbing
vines Of every variety have ben
lrainad upon these trees until their
cnoruoas trunks stand Ike 50 many
columns draped in living green. 0ne
climbing vine, with It trunk ONE would
mistake for q tree if it stood alorte,
has festuon"d row Of trees 300 feet
lolo aud is still reaching out for now
Helr Nigmau shows this
monster vine with pardonable prize.
