JOURNEY OF A TREE ROOT.
Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up Over .
Wall to a Sewer.

From Santa Barbara, Cal, there
comes a story of a most interesting
freak of vegetable life which is strict
ly vouched for.
Through a certain garden there ran,
some years ago. sewer made OF red
wood timber. This sewer was again
cased by an outsids oewer. Across
the sewer there was built brick wall
many feet high, and in such a way
that IL was pierced by the inner sewer
which it closed tightly, while the out
err sewer ended abruptly against the
wall.
The outside sewer casing had in
course of time decayed and a eucalyp-
tus tree, standing some 60 feet away,
had taken advantage of this and sent
one of its roots to the coveted spot
in as direct a line as possible.
Here the root entered the outside
sewer and followed its course as far
as 1t could. At last It came to the
wall, which shut off its course, and 1t
could go no farther, the inside sewer
being perfectly tight.
But on the other side of the wall
the sewer and its double casing con-
tinued, and this eucalyptus tree evil
IDENTIFY knew how to get there.
Some three feet high in the brick
wall there was little hole an inch
or two in diameter, and this the eu-
calyptus tree was aware of, as its big
root began to climb the dry wall and
face the sun and wind until it fornd
the hole, through which it descended
on the other side and entered the
sewer again and followed it along as
formerly.
How did the tree know of the hole
in the wall? How did it know that
the sewer was on the other side? How
could it direct the root to go and find
the place with such precision? The
roots of any plant grow always and
unerringly in the direction of its food,
Just as the eucalyptus tree did.

There are 200 dukes, 900 marquises
and thousands OF counts in Spain, ac-
cording to a recent account. Legiti-
mate Spanish nobility, or, better. aris-
tocracy, is called the grandezza. in
English the grandees. II was insti-
tuted by Emperor Charles V. in 1920
so that Spain could be just like other
countries in one respect.
They began a dozen in number; the
legitimate members of the grandezza
now are 200. and after that the popu-
lar deluge that includes the butcher,
the baker and perhaps the candlestick
maker. The duke de ARGOS, who was

Many Times a Duchess.

There is one American woman who
is a duchess on four commonplace
counts. This is the Duchesse de Dino,
who is the same of Talleyrand-Peri-
cord and of Valencay in France, and
Prussian duchess of Sagan.
Titles in Italy date back long time,
and had their origin in the times when
there were free cities, each of which
had its own collection of nobility. The
title of prince there is not awe-inspir-
ing, and the others of lower grade fall
far short of honor. The Italian equiv
alent of Burke's Peerage will look up
your ancestry, determine your heraldic
bearings and include history of your
origin in its next edition for nominal
sum.
The vatican grants titles. The par
venus work so hard getting titles unto
themselves that really respectable no
bility have got out of the habit Of
using their legitimate ones. Prince
Ferdinand Colonna married Miss Eva
Bryant Mackay, but in that family the
title is disregarded. They consider it
really more aristocratic to call each
other simply Don" and Donna" The
Rospigliosi and Ruspolin families,
which together number nearly dozen
American women among their wives,
are as aristocratic and as particular.

burg cab, a Prince Dolgoruki who is a
stevedore, or a Princess Galatzin in a
fourth-rate circus.
A Dolgoruh ancestor was once king
of Russia, and the Galatzin and Krap-
otkine families are among its most
honorable and ancient. Occasionally
"zakhndaly kniaz" has fallen so low
that he is but peasant, and thus
minus the title of noble that is given
to the educated subjects of the car.
This Russian disregard of primogen-
iture observance, which does so much
to keep the English peerage up to the
standard. obtains also in Germany.
Certain immunities and privileges, be-
sides the satisfaction of defined prece-
dence, make the English lord a
marked and envied person. Most Ger
man and Prussian mobiles are devoid OF
extra privilege, and their children all
bear the titles of their fathers.
The house of Hatzfeldt is one Of the
fairly numerous exceptions. The heir
of Prince Alfred, present head of one
branch is Prince Francis, whose wife
was the adopted daughter of the late
Coils p. Huntington. On the other
hand, the late ambassador to Germany
was only Count Hatzfeldt. His case
was particularly interesting because
he had a genuine love affair with an
American woman, Miss Helen Moul-
ton, of Albany. He married her in
1868, and was forced to separate from
her by Prince Bismarck, who made it
a rule never to allow a German diplo-
mat to marry a foreigner. The sepa-
ration lasted until Bismarck went out
of power, when the two promptly re-
married.

and just as true, even to the second
generation.
The Princess Royal. for instance,
who is married to the duke of Fife, has
two daughters. While the princess ia
her royal highness, her daughters are
only their highuesses, but are, never
theless, princesses. When they grow
up and marry, their children will not
be princes or princesses unless they
marry royalty.
The blood of Englands royal family
carries with It the title of prince only
to the second generation. That is
worlds away, IL point of dignity, from
cab-driving Russians or princely Ger
mans. whose dignity rests on the
chance that theg 1ss lsads nf families.

French Ducal System.


There are dues in France, but their
only value is as contributors to the
governments income, by the sarcas-
tically graded scale that puts more of
a price on them the farther up
they go. One exception may be made
to this general rule, for the royalists
still hold levees, and to them a title
is instinct with meaning and dignity.
The fourth Due de Dino, who unsuc-
-cessfully INDUCED his prediction
for American wives on two occasions,
would be entitled to enter this society,
and either she who was born Eliza
beth Curtis of New York or the pre-
viously divorced wife of Frederick
w. Livingston could have accompan-
led him during their reigns over a
heart whose unhappiness became
rather well known at divorce court.
The royalist society constitutes the
worth of a French title, but only two
per cent. of all titles of La Belle
Paris and elsewhere in France are
legitimate. The others are jokes.

PeeuIIarItIes Of Peeraaes.

The truth is that peerages are now
worthy Of but half respect. Only two
of them are really to be very serious
ly taken, the English and the dignities
confined to the mediatized Teutonic
families. And the latter of these is
not open to American ambitions, as
Miss Mary Wister Wheeler OF Phila-
delphia discovered in 1890, when she
was married to Count Macmillan Pap
penheim, of that ilk, and learned,
when Berlin heard of the event, that
she could never be more than a NOR
ganatic wife.
Recently II transpired that English
titles are not always exactly what
they seem. II came out that one peer
age was obtained by the typically
American practice of contributing to
a political campaign fund. IL took
$1,250,000 in that case to make a
baron of the United Kingdom, and at
the same time $4,000 was required
to secure a knighthood that labors
under the disadvantage of not being
heritable. Scandal aside, however,
the British peerage is the best of its
kind. An American girl looking for
foreign honors can better realize her

Mahooany Railroads.

Mahogany is often used for ties by
the railroads in Cuba as we'll as in
other tropical countries, but Sir Will
liam Van Horne has forbidden it on
his road. He considers it a crime to
cut small mahogany trees, as there
is plenty of other timber in the for
ests suitable for construction pur-
poses. A bridge on the Cuba railroad
near Santiago is built entirely of ma
hogany, but in violation of orders.

Boston.-"Some titles are bad and
no good titles" sarcastic American
father is said to have exclaimed
apropos of the marriage of relative
to a foreign nobleman.
He was not altogether right, nor
was he altogether wrong. The Old
World is flooded with titles, good, bad
and Indifferent. The bad and the in
different greatly outnumber the good.
American girls have some of the good,
possibly more of the bad, and, per-
haps, still more of the Indifferent.
There is a heraldry Office in London
that spends all its time Strengthening
out the kinks in the peerage. With
some 500 American women married to
foreigners, duly handled as to their
names, some of the freaks of aristoc-
racys rating are apropos.
In America it is self-evident-
though some children disprove it
that parent is superior to the child.
Yet an American woman is on record
to disprove the fact. The late widow
of Isaac NJ. Singer married a sol
disant Due de Camposelice and later
M. Paul Sohege, a plain Frenchman.
But her daughter is Duchesse Decazes
among the French aristocracy, and
Duchesse de Gluecksburg in the high
lights of Denmark. If it isn't a case
of daughter understanding the moth
er, it is the nearest approach to the
condition.
Some of these daughters have be.
come duchesses of England, prin-
cesses of Russia, duchesses of France
principessae of Italy, duquesas OF
Spain or Portugal. and still others
have obtained titles of the Holy
Roman Empire and papal titles by
marriage. There are said to be about
500 of them all told, but how do they
rank among each other? Where in

matrimonially acquired surnames doth

Prince Owns Gambling House.


The prince of Monaco, who runs
Monte Carlo, was married to Alice
Heine, OF New Orleans, and the pres

Czaykowski is Turkish diplomat, but
not very important as Turk. Miss
Edith Collins, of New York, was the
princess maiden name.
Boston is not wonderfully we'll rep
resented among the titled Americans
abroad. Foremost, perhaps, among
Boston girls of this description is the
countess of Edla, who, on June 10,
1869, married the late king consort of
Portugal, Ferdinand. She was Miss
Elsie Hensler and received the NOR

ernor of Barbados, was Miss Gertrude
Parker of Boston.
The curiosities that have grown up
around the matter of nobility would
fill a volume. In England, where the
heraldry Office is more than it is else
where, the technicalities are best OBJ
served.
There is the matter of the courtesy
title, for instance. There is Baron Will
loughby d'Eresby who is married to
Miss Elroise Breese, of New York, and
who isn't a baron at all. He is sim
ply eldest son of the earl of Ancaster,
who has more than one extra title that
is inferior to his own of earl. His ia
ther has virtually loaned that OF his
barony to his eldest son until he shall
succeed. So the eldest son of the
duchess of Marlborough, who is known
as the marquis Of Blanford by the
same courtesy.

His Turkish Title.

Even at Constantinople, where you
can buy the order of Osmanieh and
the lower grades dirt cheap, there is
one of our women. She has had the
wings of her dignity clipped, but she
is still Margaret Fehim Pasha.
Her husband was. till few months
ago, chief of the Yildiz secret police,
likewise a distant relative of the
sultan. The German ambassador OBJ
jected to a little pleasantly of his,
and Fehim is now in real exile. But
his wife, who was a circus rider, mar
ried week after rencontre, is still
the wife of a pasha. That dignity
isn't worth much, and in the matter
of value of titles Turkey, for once,
agrees with the rest of Europe.
A Russian prince is a travesty on
