CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formsd-Tress' Curious
Blunt Roots.

The cypress knee Is familiar object
In all the lowland forests Of the south,
but there are thousands Of northern
people who have never seen them, and
there are many southern people, too,
vino have not seen them till they
stumbled over them some dark night.
The knee is Of solid wood, has no limbs
or leaves, Is anywhere from six inches
to six feet In height. and It's rounded
top and hattened sides give II very
much the shape Of human leg bent at
the knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
Of knee"
For a number Of years / was curious
as to what part the knees played In
the life Of a cypress tree, writes cor
respondent OF Forest and Stream, for
they are part Of It's root system and DO
not grow independently They were
not sprouts. trying to grow into trees,
for they never developed branches, and
the final conclusion was that their only
use was for people TO stumble over.
How and why such useless appendices
to the tree were formed was mys-
terry until one day when drifting down
a deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots OF some Of the trees,
and roots in all stages of growth were
In sight None OF these roots was less
than two and one-haf inches thick and
Of uniform size clear to their tips or
rather clear to their blunt ends, for
there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
In soft mud, and they were all right
for that purpose, but when the blunt
end Of a root encountered something
too hard TO push through it bent or
buckled In the line Of least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
Of the ground, and the continuing
growth of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
until finally the two arms of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one sheet OF bark inclos-
ing BOTH

This alone should be, and will be,
Sufficient inducement to attract the
people for miles around, to Archer
on that day, and there is little doubt
but that the progressive little town
Of Southwest AIachua will be crowded
upon that occasion with more people
than her municipal borders have ever

Congressman Clark, in addressing
the committee which extended the
invitation, remarked that he felt
honored that Archer should seek his
presence on the Fourth, He saw
but one obstacle in the way at pres
emit but that was an important profess
sional engagement which he might be

Congressman Clark's humble

the people who hear him, and the peo-
pie Of Archer and vicinity are hoping
that he will not receive the expected
summons at time to interfere with
his visit.
This celebration, while It win be

money has been raised for mis-

of it's history. South Carolina did
her part right nobly last year. She
gave for Foreign missions $33 ,426,

This was a great increase over

Last week we were informed
that there were three deseFtels
from ons company drawing pen
sions and one of them was getting
S96. 90. There are several women
on the list whose husbands have
died in service, but they married
afterwards ard are now widows
for a second time and they are
drawing. Then men and women
from other states, whose record Is
not known here, sent blanks to
their former homes and got their
papers signed and they are draw
ing"
The idea of deserter receiving
500 from the pension fund /! Un-
less thu boards over the state are
more careful in passing upon and
approving applications from pen
sioners the roll will become SO
large that the pittance now doled
out to deserving veterans and
widows of veterans will be very
greatly reduced. Let the present
rolls be purged Of deserters.
