A QUEER TREE
Tho Jumbo Is a Monstrosity Of the
African Desert.

Tho Jumbo Is a Monstrosity Of the
African Desert.
The mature Jumbo Is a tree with a
trunk about two feet long, shaped
much like an inverted cone. Almost all
the trunk is below the surface Of the
ground, the visible part rarely exceed
ing few inches. But the remarkable
feature Of the stem is that it is often
fourteen feet in circumference and be-
comes more or less two lobed image
The stem looks more like great mass
Of "the burned crust Of loaf Of
bread" to quote DR.. Welwitsch's letter,
than the trunk Of tree. The under
ground portion becomes greatly elon
gated, and its continuation is the top
root of the plant. This goes down sew

drops Of water that the arid conditions
Of the country permit
There are never more than two
leaves after the seed leaves drop off,
and very curious leaves they are. Start

are often six feet long and two feet
wide and usually split into ribbons
that undulate over the ground In a way
strtkingly suggestive Of the tentacles
Of an octopus. With its great ugly
body and its tentacle-like leaves 1t Is no
wonder that it has been the most re-
markable plant novelty Of the last CEN
fury. The flowers are borne in scarlet
cones on a cymose inflorescence COM
ing from the crown of the trunk.
Tumboa bainesil belongs to the joint
fir family. or gnetaceae, and is known
only from Portuguese West Africa to
Damaraland. This Is a region that
seldom gets any rain, and desert condi-
tons prevail almost completely. except
for the sea fogs. The tumbo is thus
a desert plant par excellence, and 1t is
only by close approximation of these
very arid conditions that we can cul-
tivate it.-New York Botanic Garden.

Question of Nationality.

An Englishman, Frenchman and a
German sitting together in the smok-
ing room Of an ocean liner the CONVEX

one Of them asked what each of the

of his own nation. The Frenchman said
"If l were not a Frenchman, l would
be an Englishman." The Englishman
said, "If We're not an Englishman,
would wish to be one" The German.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features OF the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Sept. Acknowledgement today
by leading bulls of lines sold out yesterday
caused strength in the wheat market, final
quotations showing net gains of sc to
MU3sc. Corn and oats closed steady, while
provisions were strong.
The wheat market displayed considerable
bullishness nearly all day, despite the
record-breaking movement OF new wheat In
the northwest. A slight dip occurred dur
ing the first half hour, due to selling
based on the liberal receipts at. Minneapolis
and Duluth, but the market soon rallied
again and continued firm the remainder
of the day. Arrivals today at Minneapolis
were $50 cars, and Duluth reported $40 cars,
while Winnipeg followed closely with SSI,
cars, compared with thirty-six cars a year
ago. This enormous movement failed"to af-
feet the market to any great extent, be-
cause Of the fact that the demand for casn
wheat in the northwest was more than
equal to the supply. and today's entire re-
ceipts were eagerly taken by millers within
an hour after they were placed on sale. A
few of the bull leaders who were free SELL
ers yesterday gave the market vigorous
support today and this buying was largely
[eIRESpS tRe s l1s part ~ the day. The
higher cables, continued dry weather In the
southwest and continued firm wheat mar
kets, were the factors that inspired buying.
Some export business was reported ioday,
eighteen. boatloads. in all with six from
Chicago. The market closed strong at al.
most the highest point. Clearances OF
wheat and flour were equal to 112.0o0 bush
els. Primary receipts were l.656.000 bushels,
compared with $4,000 bushels the cores
bonding day a year ago. Minneapolis. Du-
futh and Chicago reported receipts Of LII
cars. against Ss1 cars last week and AZ cars
a year ago.
Heavy realizing sales caused weakness
in the corn market early in the day par
ticularly in the September delivery, which
declined 1c during the first hour. The mar
ket, however, became oversold and IN an
attempt to cover earlier sales pit traders
soon bid up the prices to about the opening
level. The close was steady with prices
