THE STRANGLlNG FIG.
A Curious Tropical Tree That Lives
Upon Other Trees.

A Curious Tropical Tree That Lives
Upon other Trees.
Visitors to Mexico and other tropica
countries often have their attention
called to 'the strangling f1g'-a tree
that commences it's growth as an cpl
phyte-that is, one form of plant life
that grows perched on another-far III
on the trunk or among the branches OF
another tree, usually on a palmetto OF
some of the kinds of palms. The roots
of the strangling tree extend down
ward around the host tree to the
ground, gradually joining together
making tubelike mass Of roots some
times as much as six feet or more in
diameter.
When the attacked tree is a palm
death to it is caused not so much by the
binding around the trunk as by shad
ing out it's branches by the attacking
tree.
When the attacked tree is an exogeI
that is, one with wood and bark-the
attacking roots bind so tightly as tc
cause stOppage of the flow Of the sap
AS the sap Of tree is really it's food
Changed by the leaves so that it car
be used and the flow of the food is
thus stopped, the attacked tree is real
ly starved to death. So death to the
attacked tree is caused either by
smothering or by starvation or by both
The peculiar manner in which the
n Il
the tree give them the appearance of
some thick, slow flowing material run
ming down the tree.-St. Nicholas.

PALISADES FORMATION.
Allied In Time and Type to Mount
HOIyOIe and Cape BICmidon.

Allied In Time and Type to Mount
HOIyOIke and Cape BIcmidon.
The complete height of the cliff was
much higher, originally, for the glacier
that buried North America down to
this latitude eroded billions of tons
which went to the upbuilding of Long
Island, trap powders being common in
the soil of Brooklyn, and l have found
on the top of the Palisades opposite
Spuyten Duyvil glacial groovings and
polishings that have survived the pre-
sumptiye $4,000 years since the glacier
melted. The outpOur of this mass from
a volcano whose crater we cannot so
much as guess in this day was tremen-
1ous. and it cut the Hudson and Hack
ensack valleys asunder and pushed the
harbor several miles to the southwark,
while related activities thrust above
the surface, either as downpours or up
pours, the thousand miles of basaItic
hills that chain the Carolinas to the
Bay of Funny, SO that our Palisades
are allied in form and time to Mount
Holyoke and Cape Blomidon.
To the mineralogist our Palisades do
not yield as much of interest as we
find in the rotting trap of Paterson, a
few miles away, from which have been
taken the largest prehnites in the
world, sea green and wonderful; royal
amethysts, balls of silky pectolite and
quartz pseudomorphs that copy them;
but we find in these cliffs occasional
duplicates of the columns that make
the Giants causeway and Fingars
-geometric shapes of three, four,
five, six and more sides, not a result of
capitalization, as was once imagined,
for trap is rock, not mineral, but
of lateral shrinking when it has cool

ing client acquitted of murder.
Meeting friend next day he was
roundly congratulated.
Yes. said the lawyer, hopping his
brow, 4 got him off, but it was mar
row escape
"A narrow escape! How"
"Ah, the tightest squeeze you ever
saw. You know / examined the wit
nesses and made the argument myself,
the plea being self defense
The jury was out two whole days.
Finally the judge called them before
him and asked the trouble.
Only one thing, your honor, re-
piled the foreman. Was the prisoner S
counsel retained by him or appointed
by the court?''
No, gentlemen, the prisoner is a
man of means, said the Judge, 'and
engaged his own counsel.
II could not see what bearing the
question had on the evidence" con-
tinued the lawyer, ''but ten minutes
later in filed the jury, and what do you
think the verdict was?"
WHAT" asked his friend.
''Why, not guilty, on the ground of
insanity"

CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH.
An alarming evil today in MANY
churches is the absence of children
from the religious services. Some mem

fact that children are not among their
worshipers. What must be the ineVi-
table results from such conditions
With the present tendency of many 70

upon the public means of grace, what
of the future church? Unless children
are early brought into the covenant
relation with God and unless hey are,
like the boy Jesus, early found in the
temple. of God praising and serving him,
unless in childhood they form the
habit of worshiping God in the sane
tuary, they will not be apt to form the
habit laterson.a Make room for the child
in the pew if Il you want the child
In the church when he has grown older.
Bring the child into the church and let
the church throw her arms of love and
protection about the child by admitting
him to covenant relations. A child may
be too young to pray, but none is too
young for Jesus to put his hands upon
1t and bless and pray for it.-Rey. L.
