Famous Lilac Tree.

Chief among the many objects of in
terest in the gardens of Easton Lodge,
Dunmow, the residence of the Earl and
Countess of Warwick, is the magnifi-
cent lilac tree which occupies a con-
spicuous position on the terrace. This
tree is the finest specimen of its kind
in the United Kingdom 1t has a cir
conference Of 120 feet and a height of
sixteen feet, and it has so dense Il
growth and blooms so profusely that
when in flower it forms a huge bou-
quet of lilac blossoms.
The lilac is that commonly known as
the Persian and described by the bot
anists as the Chinese, but it is not a
native of either Persia or China, but
was raised in the ROuen botanic gar
den in 1895 by the hybridiZation of the
true Persian lilac and the common Ii
lac of British gardens.
1t was of noble proportions at the
middle of the last century and produc-
ed such a magnificent display of BIOS
SONS that in the Towering season Wis
count Maynard, Lady Warwick's
grandfather, used to make a special
journey from London to enjoy the
beauty and fragrance of the flowers

Finaina a Crave With an Eaa.

The Miau-tsZe, little known tribe in
Asia, arc very superstitious about
death and will not bury a man until
they have first tested the ground with
an egg. This operation is very curious.
While the body is being prepared for
burial Il number of Miau-tsZe, includ-
ing the male relatives of the deceased
go out to the appointed spot bearing a
large basket of eggs. STOPPING down,
one Of the natives lets an egg drop
softly on the ground. If it breaks it is
considered an i'll omen, and another
spot is selected. In this way the party
often wander about for hours, break
ing eggs over the ground until they
finally strike a place where the shell
does not crack.

by scores of the most eminent medical

THE SPIRIT OF CONEY ISLAND
Continued from page T

more than six hundred thousand persons
We're in Coney Island. On that same day for
all causes less than fifty arrests made
by the Coney Island police. Being good
natured did it. At the same time, be it said,
the who must pick up rumpus is eventu-
ally accommodated, if he fares far enough
and states his wants in a tone of voice suffi-
GENTLY compelling. He who goes up Surf-ave.
looking for trouble generally comes back look
ing for dentist.
Down the NAV of decked over alleyway
and round the corner from the big parks and
shows is the Bowery, which catches the over
flows, a crooked street OF concert halls, open
front lunch stands, and Japanese lotteries.
At dozen places along the Bowery You can
buy glass of beer and complete vaude-
vile show. A catarrhal barytone comes out
toy stage and sings through his symptoms.
Or maybe it is the Musical Mumms-Minnie
and MaXie-giving the slide trombone the
Swoboda treatment and matreating the loose
jointed xylophone. The Sisters Tate-Erie
and Aggie, or some such names-have a
skipping rope speciality with songs and dances
and then determined comedian tells the joke
that has fourteen rattles and a button,-a
joke that belongs to the Old Red Sandstone
period of humor,-the one about the two
cigars that could be figured out to be three
cigars. Each performer gets his round of
applause. | never vet heard even the shabbest
of vaudevillians Kissed at Coney unless his
turn had something suggestive or unpleasant
about it.

How Plants Rubberneck

IF one looks carefully at the twigs of almost
L anv tree, or still better at the Young shoots
of some rapidly growing plant, he is pretty
certain to discover that no two leaves occupy
the same position.
The fact is, however, that a leaf does not
always keep to one position. Everybody
knows that they droop, and stand erect again,
and that some plants sleep at certain times of
day. house plant, moreover, grows toward
the light and if the pots are turned about so
that the leaves face away from the window.
it takes only day or two for them to screw
themselves round once more into nearly their
old positions. Indeed, young clover leaf
when plucked will draw its leaflets together
turn them SO that in few minutes one can,
by watching closely, see the change.
If now one looks carefully for the joints
where this bending is done, he sees at once
that nearly all leaves have two. At the bot
tom of each leaf stalk where it Joins the twig,
there is spot of SOFT bright green tissue which
is joint. Then at the other end of the
stalk where it joins the leaf there is likely to
be still another. One sees this nicely in the
bean. The leaf as whole has one of these
joints between leaf stalk and stem. Then
each of the three leaflets has of its own
between itself and the common leaf stalk.
So too the three leaflets of the clover move,
each by itself, by means of such joint.
Curiousy, however, as has been discovered
only lately, these bright green spots are not
simply the joints of the leaf; they are also its
eyes. 1t has been found that if the spots are
covered with black paper the plant becomes
blind, so that it no longer turns its leaves
toward the light. But if the rest of the leaf
and its stalk are covered, and only the joints
left exposed, then the leaves turn as usual.
Moreover, not only light but also pin pricks,
acids, electric shocks and heat applied at
these joints will cause the leaf to move.

Coney has its smut spots, which is inevitable,
in SO big place. Grimy, tawdry, little bat
caves, these with stopped beer tables scat
tered about, and a professor, with lignum
vite face and local color on his cigarette
finger, beating a piano into insensibiity, and
a small stage at the back whereon there sit
a row of girls and women with weak, hopeless,
painted faces, who get up woodenly one by
one, each in her knee high CheeSecloth skirt
of pink green, shouts out the refrain of
some popular song, does a dozen dance steps
mechanically, and then goes back to her seat
again; and SO on unendingly half the day and
more than half the night, in the heat and the
dust, while the waiter gentry circulate among
the tables, mopping mechanically with their
towels and inquiring whether any gent present
is in need of anything in the drinking line.
But there aren't many of these places, and
they aren't well patronized. They don't
match the rest of the goods-they don't
rightly belong in the picture.
The real spirit of Coney is the spirit that
brings the same people back time after time
just to hear the lecturer in The Johnstown
Flood" speak in this wise as he approaches
the climax of his descriptive discourse:
The city is at peace. The inhabitants go
about their daily avocations. All is ca m and
quietood. The little Children pratte at their
play. The hum of industry rises from the
factory Chimney,-when, bark! down the valley
upon foam tiecked steed thunders man who
shouts in mighty tones this turribe warnin'
cry, My Cord the dam has bu'st!'"
