THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Many Ways In Which This Strange
Asiatio Plant Is Utilized.

Many Ways In Which This Strange
Asatio Plant Is Utilized.
The breadfrult tree is a native OF
southern Asia, the south Pacific islands
and the Indian archipelago. In appear
ance it resembles somewhat the wild
chestnut 1t grows to the height OF
forty or fifty feet and has dark green
leaves, many of them two feet in
length, which are deeply divided into
pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows. 1t is a sorosis, il
nearly spherical, often weighs four OF
more pounds and has a thick yellow
rind. This fruit Is the chief food of the
south sea islanders. They seldom eat
meal without it, The eatable part
lies between the rind and the core and
when fully ripe is yellow and juicy
1t is better for fruit before 1t has fully
matured, and the natives gather II
while the pulp is white.
Before 1t is ready for table use II
must be roasted, when it looks like
wheat and bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit is cut
into three or four slices and roasted or
baked In an oven.
Frequently the people Of a village
join in making huge oven, in which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without Its cost
ing any Of them much labor Prepared
in this way, the bread will keep for
weeks.
The breadfruit is In season eight
months Of the year When the season
finally draws to close, the last fruits
are gathered and made into a sour
paste called mabel" This paste will
keep good for months and is made
into balls, wrapped in leaves and bak-
ed, Just as needed.
Bread is not the only product of the
breadfrult tree. From 1t cement,
CLOTH finder and lumber are also OBJ
tanned. A glutinous, milky juice oozes
from the trunk Of the tree, which
makes an excellent cement when boil
ed with cocoanut oil. From the fibrous
inner bark a kind of coarse cloth is
made. and the big leaves make good
towels. The lumber Is used for build
ing houses and many other purposes.
Besides ali this. the dried blossoms are
used es finder wheq fires are kindlad-

FAMILY DISPUTES.
How They Were Once Settled by Fair
Fiqht In Court.

How They Were Once Settled by Fair
Fight In Court.
In some parts of Germany In days
gone by when the relations of husband
and wife became strained, so to speak
lin other words, when each returning
day gave birth to new squabbles and
the mans hand was as ready as the
woman's tongue-the couple were
brought before the magistrate, who,
after listening to recriminations, or
dered them to prepare for the ordeal
by battle. The man was placed In q
cask, which was then nearly filed with
sand, so that he was covered up to the
waist. In some towns a pit was kept
handy for the purpose, just as the
ducking stool was kept on Bankside.
opposite St. Paul's When he was
thus half buried, the man received a
short stick for his right hand. while
his left hand was tied up across his
chest. He was thus one armed and
could only deliver his blows If his op-
ponent came near enough
The lady put on a linen garment, the
right sleeve of which was heightened.
In the end was tied up stone. The
sleeve projected about twelve inches
beyond her hand She had thus q for
midable weapon, but in order to use it
she had to get close to her enemy.
Now, observe the situation and the
chances. If she succeeded In bringing
the stone down upon her husbands
head, she might knock him senseless;
she might even brain him, but In order
to do so she would expose herself to
the full blow of his stick. The battle
might, in fact, be settled by a single
assault But mark the craftiness of
man. 1t was better to make a woman
ridiculous than to knock her silly The
husband, therefore, If he was a philos-
opher, did not try to hit his wife. He
warded her blows with his stick. He
tried to catch the sleeve upon his stick.
Then the stone flew round and round,
and the lady was caught She could not
move. and the victorious husband
dragged her. unwilling. head first into
his cask.-LOndon Queen.

Aunt Sally Linnekin was looking ad-

by one of her summer boarders.

to edit the chapter describing how the

were obliged to scale with ladders

TELESCOPE LENSES.
Astonishing Sensitiveness of These
Wonderful Glasses.


Wonderful Glasses.
With the exception of astronomers,
few persons have any idea of the won
derful sensitiyeness of the lens of a
telescope These marvellous artificial
eyes can be produced only by the ex-
ercise of the most scrupulous care in
the selection of the glass itself, con-
summate skill and inexhaustible pa
tience The process of grinding and
polishing often occupies several months.
When the lens of a big telescope is
completed, it constitutes one of the
greatest marvels wrought by man.
An article in the Literary Digest de-
scribes how the sensitiveness of lens
was illustrated by Alvan Clark. the
greatest lensmaker America has pro-
duced:
Mr.. Clark walked down to the lens
and held his hand under it about two
feet away. Instantaneously marvel
GUS spectacle burst into view. 1t SEEM
ed as If the great glass disk had be-
come living volcano, squirting forth
jets of fame.
The display was dazzling. Waving,
leaping, dancing the countless tongues
of light cleaned and vibrated; then fit
fully, reluctantly, they died away, leav-
ing the lens rejecting only pure, I'M
| troubled light.
| What is it? How do you account
for the wonder? were the eager ques-
lions. 1t is only the radiation of heat
alternately expanding and contracting
the glass. If the hand had been put
upon the lens itself, the phenomenon
would have been more violent
To a person ignorant of lenses the
almost supernatural sensitiveness of a
mass of glass weighing several hun
dred pounds is astonishing, but to the
scientist it is an everyday matter, for
he has instruments that will register
with unfaltering nicely the approach
of a person fifty or hundred feet
away

The Number Three.

Three, which since the days of Ply
thagoras has been the divine number,
is not invariably fortunate, for, though
the fates are three, so also are the
furies. The graces are three, but so
also are the Judges in hades and the
heads of Cerberus. Then there are the
records of three disloyal tribes in
Welsh history; there are the three rob-
bers in Orlon's belt: there were the
three tyrants at Athens. and 3 in
mythology is as unlucky as 1t is d.

his name has been most frequently as

made sideboard. In his book there
is no reference to sideboards, though
there are several large tables which
he calls 'sideboard tables" Though
the word sideboard was used long be-
fore his day. it is probable that the
early English sideboards were merely
tables.
