The Hnzel Tree.

A curious survival of the days when
the magicians of Europe sought inde-
fatigably for the philosophers stone Is
the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The old alchemists used
to make their divining rods out of
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that it would mysteriously direct
its owner to hidden treasures, If it was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all those occult
entertainments of the middle ages. AS
time went on, the rod of jacob" as
a branch of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would it lead to the discovery of
buried boards, but 1t would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
1t was sure guide to underground
springs as well, and was an unfailing
charm against the lightning.

1t is proposed to drain the everglades
Of Florida, says the Kansas City Jour
nal. Governor Broward in writing of
the great scheme. which Is now "a lead
ing issue before the people of that
state, enumerates the main features of
the plan. There are 100000 acres of
swamp lands to be freed of water. In
the midst of this dreary waste lies
Lake Okeechobee. 1t is proposed to cut
canals and drain off part of the waters
of this lake so as to reduce the surface
four feet to prevent the overhowing,
which now floods 100000 acres of the
surrounding country. The work calls
for $50 miles of canals ten feet deep
and varying in width from SO to 100
feet. From these main arteries will be
cut smaller bitches, which must be
made by the purchasers Of the prop
erty.

Inventors of the telephone, who has
been deyoting his attention for sever
al years to the problem of aerial navi-
cation, believes he has solved it. He
thinks the aeroplane type of flying
machine is wrong because of the dan

plan is to substitute for the aeroplane
a large number of small cells. He
has experimental with kites built up
on this principle and has found that
they maintain their equilibrium in
