sunlight to pass easily through the
leaves. Many curious trees are found.
but none is more remarkable than the

~ Of the tree Is found In Its abnormal

The peculiar nature OF Its spongy
soft wood Is responsible for this re-
jrvenescence. The tissues contain
large Quantities of moisture in the
form OF mucilage. Indeed. In time Of
drouth the trees are often fellesi and
the cattle devour with great relish.
The fruit takes the form Of thin
eheiled gourdlike capsule, covered
with thin green yelvety pile-I In fine
examples they are equal in size to
small cocoanuts- When ripe they con-
