WORLDS LARGEST TREE.

run liz HANS" 1oAh SNAA' ~. ~
DR.. o. Kuntze, of Germany is the la.-
est to give his scientific Impressions OF
the giant cypress in the church yard at
Tule, near the city of Oaxaca, Mexico.
This has for ages been more famous
than almost any other specimen Of the
BILE When the Span
iards landed in Mexico they wrote OF
the mighty tree that the AZtecs regard
ed as sacred. The b~otanists, A. De can
dole and Asa Gray, estimated that II
was at least 1000 years old. II was PIC
tured in detail by Humboldt. Feclus
gave 1t q page in his UNIVERSAL Geog-
raphy." 1t figures in the latest guide
books. 1t is asserted that the distance
around it's trunk, six feet from GROUND,
is 1874 feet and two inches.
DR.. Kuntz in his long account OF the
present condition Of the tree, says II is
remarkably vigorous and wears the
weight of forty centuries almost 1aunt-
fly. The famous cypress on the out
skirts of the City of Mexico, under
which Cortez is said to have wept on
the night of July l, 1920, when things
We're going wrong, can not be compared
with the great monarch OF the tree
family at Tule, for 1t is much smaller
and and half dead at that.
If this tree Is not the largest IN the
whole world 1t as least exceeds in thick
ness all trees of which measurements
have been taken. De Candolle's meas
urenentS gave the diameter DIS lily
seven feet. The diameter of the sequoia,
which photographs have made familiar
by the wagon road passing through it,
is thirty feet. not much more than half
that of the Tule cypress. The largest
baobabs and other African giants are
from nincty-six to 112 fet in circumfer-
ence, girthing only about two-thirds as
much as the Mexican tree. There is
considerable discrepancy, however, In
the figures of the circumference OF the
3Tule. tree (120 to 154 feet, owing, as DR..
Kuntze explains, to different ways of
measuring it. Some persons merely ex-
tend a tape line around the tree while
others include all the cavities and
prominences Of the trunki in their meas-
urements.
This variety of cypress is found grow
ing wild only on the of streams.
TIE fact that no stream exists near the
Tule tree or it's sister in the suburb OF
Mexico is believed to prove that they
were both planted by the ancient Mexi-
cans, the Tule tree at least 1000 years
before the Christian era. 1t is the moth
er of the village around it, for the
houses were clustered near merely be-
cause the tree existed. The Spanlards
enclosed 1t in a churchyard and its
shade spreads over a part of the
church.
Though probably the oldest and
thickest known plant, 1t Is, not the tall
est. It's height is abou $50 feet, or al
most the same as it's circumference.

In view of the close neighborhood OF

On the 18th day of September last a
protocol was signed between the repre-
countries accredited to this government,
in the city of Washington in order &c
devise the means of preserving the GOOD
relations among said republics and bring
ing about permanent peace in those coun-
tries" The protocol includes the express
sion of a wish that the presidents or the
United States and Mexico should appoint
Representatives to lend their good and
impartial offices in a purely friendly way
toward the realization Of the objects OF
the conference" The conference Is now
in session and will have our best wishes
and, where it Is practicable, our friendly
assistance.
One Of the results of the Pan American
conference at Rio Janeiro in the summer
of 1906 has been a great increase IN the
activity and usefulness Of the Interna-
tional Bureau of American Republics.

Tr71ov "Dip" More Used than Ever.
The "tallow up of our grandfathers
is no longer made of tallow, exactly.
writes VIM. Hard in Technical World
Magazine. 1t is made of stearic acid.
which is only one ingredient Of the
tallow that grows in the sheep and in
the steer.
Neither is the "tallow dip" of to-
day a real dip" They used to take
long wicks and dip them in hot tallow,
time after time, till the candle had ac-
CURED the proper thickness. To-day
they run hot stearic acid into molds
neously.
The "tallow Dip on the market to-
day therefore would be more accurate
" described if it We're called a "stearic
acid mold But nevertheless it re-
mains a tallow product. It is the di-
rect lineal descendant of the 'tallow
dip" Of our grandfathers. And it is
still so popular that just about $780,
100000 pounds of tallow, according to
the calculation Of one Of the best-in-
formed manufacturers of Chicago, are
consumed every year in the candle fac
tories of the United States. Although
gas and kerosene and electricity have
deprived the candle of a large part OF
the popularity to which it might nave
considered itself justly entitled, it is
probable that in both hemispheres to-
day there are more candles shedding
their mild and humble radiance than
in any previous period of the worlds
history.

A Trina AIiaIeadinx.

When Lucy Seayer married William
Edison and was able to have calling
cards with "Mrs. William Edson"t en-
graved upon them, she felt that life
had no higher pride in store for her.
She preserved this attitude through all
the years of her married life.
When MI. Edison died she was incon-
solable, and even after several years
of widowhood she holly resented any
indication that her friends had for
gotten her lamented William for one
moment.
1T makes me so angry she said to
one whom she suspected Of carelessness
in the matter, ito be spoken Of or
thought of as Mrs. Lucy Edison. 1t is
an insult to Williams memmory."
ooh, I'm sure it's never meant for
that" said the friend, hastily. "Only
It's quite customary among certain
eople, you know, for a widow to take
ler Christian name-have letters ad-.
lressed to her in that way-and so on"
ut will never be with me- said the
widow, Indignantly. u prefer always

Construction work on the Panama ca
mai will be rushed next year. Thirty
two millions, approximately, are to be,
expended. Congressman James A.
Tawnay of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, just re-
turned from Panama with seventeen
members of the committee, predicts
that the canal will be completed by
Dec. 81, 1914. I'VE found everything
going along in the most satisfactory
way the Congressman declares.
There may be a million cut off the
sum of $50, 100000 asked for construc-
ton, although demands in the main
have been modest. Reductions will be
asked in only a few departments. 80
cial conditions there are better gener-
ally than among the workmen of the
United States. Workmen are well
cared for and satisfied, We found the
employees, clerical, medical n engin-
eering, were paid so per cent more
than at home, while quarters are fur
nished. A single man gets a room !;
married men a house. Canal men are
paid one-third more than at home, and
they can live more cheaply. The gov
eminent sells them supplies at a lower
rate than home prices. Ice water and
light are cheaper than in New York.
Sanitary conditions are all that can be
desired"
