According to some curious inestiga-
tons conducted by English scientists
eldest sons tend to be criminals and
youngest sons paupers. A great many
thousand school children and many
family histories have been examined to
Weld these results. First-born children
were found to be, as e rule, taller and
heavier, with greater ability and en-
durance than the others. This is in ac-
cordance with the popular feeling in
many countries that the oldest child is
superior to the others and deserving of
special privileges. 1t is a well-estab-
ished fact that among men Of genius
an undue proportion are eldest sons.

OLDEST TREE IN AUSTRALIA.
In Time of Drouth the Cattle Feed
Upon the Wood.

In Time of Drouth the Cattle Feed
Upon the Wood.
The vegetation of Australia is differ
ent from that of any other country.
The various species number about TO-
900, which is far greater number than
is to be found in Europe. A popularity
of the trees found growing near the
coast is the vertical direction Of the
foliage, which allows the sunlight to
pass easily through the leaves Many
curious trees are found, but none is
more remarkable than the bottle tree,
or baobab. The popularity of the tree
is found in it's abnormal trunk, which,
as compared with other forest trees, is
out of all proportion to its branches.
Sometimes the trunk is nearly spheri-
cal. resembling a huge inverted turnip
The peculiar nature of its spongy
soft wood is responsible for this re-
iuvenescence. The tissues contain large
quantities of moisture in the form of
mucilage. Indeed, in time of drouth
the trees are often felled and the wood
broken up into small pieces. This the
cattle devour with great relish. The
fruit takes the form of a thin-shelled
gourdlike capsule covered with thin
green velvety pile. In fine examples
they are equal in size to small cocoa
nuts. When ripe they contain a -four
like powder having a peculiar acid
flavor not unlike cream of tartar The
fruit remains attached to the branches
for a considerable time after the leaves

Considering the number and opulence

be deemed strange that the steamship

quarters except perhaps in location

Europe last summer in a suite of two
staterooms that were no better than
the accommodations enjoyed by 200 or
300 poorer people. The possibilities in
the way of eXclusiveness and CORE
spondingly high prices were not appre-
ciated by the steamship designers. This
omission is in a fair way of being re
paired by the construction of what
might be called "sea fats on the ships
Of one transatlantic line. On the
steamship Minnetonka which arrived
at New York from London the other
day, the first of these apartments was
exhibited. The "sea fats are located

ship designing and they are for people
who can afford them. They offer every
homelike advantage that is possible on
shipboard. The servant girl question
| is, of course, eliminated. 1t costs a
pretty penny to occupy one of these
flats" but the landlord does not re-
quire lease for a year. People who
have plenty of money and a desire to
escape the society of their fellow men
will be glad to pay whatever the price
may be. 1t is pretty safe to predict,
however, that the very richest people
will not patronize the "sea flats" Such
people are ordinarily satisfied with the
same accommodations that ordinary
folks enjoy.
