The breadfruit tree of Ceylon is very
remarkable. Its fruit is baked and
eaten as we eat bread and is equally
good and nutritious. In Barbutu. South
America, is tree which, by piercing
the trunk, produces milk, with which
the inhabitants feed their children.

the great traveller, declared that the
butter surpassed any made in Eng
land from cows milk. At Sierra
Leone is the cream fruit tree. the
fruit of which is quite agreeable in
taste.
At Table Bay, near the Cape of Good
Hope, is small tree the berries of
which make excellent candles. 1t is
also found in the Azores. The vege-
table tallow tree also grows in Suma-

and tallow are extracted from it's fruit.
which is gathered in November or
December, when the tree has lost all
its leaves. The bark of tree in China
produces a beautiful soap. Trees of
the sapindus or soap berry order also
grow in the north of Africa. They are
amazingly prolific and their Trl1it con-
tains about 3S per cent of caponin.

THREE DEAD ct NEW YORK FIRE
Women and Children Crowd Escapes
at Tenement Blaze.

Three persons were killed, fifteen were
injured, some OF them seriously, and the
lives of nearly hundred persons were
endangered by fire in a fve-story tene-
ment house at A Hester street, New
York. The dead are Berel Weinstein,
his wife Anna and their 1-year-Old son.
They were sufocated and burned in their
apartments ON the fifth floor. That more
lives were not lost was largely due to
the prompt action of three policemen,
who, seeing flames in the hall, rushed
through the building and aroused the
members of sixteen sleeping families. BY
that time the stairways were mass of
flames and the only means of exit was by
the fire escapes. In their mad attempt
TO escape from the smoke and flames
scores of scantily clad men, women and
children crowded the narrow iron plat
forms and ladders until they became
wedged in solid masses on the fire escapes,
unable to extricate themselves and block
ing the way of those who had not yet
succeeded in getting out of the building.
Weinstein and his wife and baby were
found lying dead in their rooms on the top
floor of the burning building after the
flames had been extinguished. The prop
erty loss was $1,000
