Odd Facts of Life.

In this cosmopolitan land, made ur
of all nationalities, the question Of
names Is an intricate one, and most
have long since abandoned the effort
to trace nationality by mere names
We may still spot Russian, Pole
an Armenian, Greek, or Japanese
by his name; but the others are
mostly battling.
In the recent census of England
the source of many common Ameri-
can names Is found There are re-
ported two hundred and fifty-three
thousand Smiths in England and
Wales, and two hundred and forty
two thousand Joneses. Then in or
der follow the names of Williams,
Taylor, Davies, and Brown. Again in
Scotland the name of Smith leads,
followed closely by Mcdonald, Brown
Thompson Robertson, Stewart, and
Campbell. In Ireland we find MUIR
ply leading with over $4,000, and
Kelly second with $4,000, while Sui
Ivan, Walsh, Smith, O'Brien, Byrne,
Ryan, Conner, ONeil, and Reilly are
bringing up the rear in close order.

Facts About Trees.

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalyptus, reaching
a total altitude of four hundred anG
eighty feet. The biggest are the
mammoth trees of California, some
of which are 276 to 376 feet in
height, and 10S feet in circumfer.
ence at the base. From measure
ments of the rings it is believed that
some of these trees are from 1000
, to $500 years old. The Oldest tree
in the world is said to be on the
island of Kos off the coast of Asia
Minor. 1t is several thousand years
old. but just how many no one has
dared to say. The tree is carefully
preserved by wall of masonry round
It,, and the trunk is 80 feet in cir
conference.
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump Beams in old buildings are
preserved today which are known to
be over thousand eyars old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Chritian era are perfectly sound to-
day. and it is known that they have
been immersed in the water for up
ward of two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in
water, They decay rapidly on the
stump, many rotting in from five to
ten years, but when immersed in
water they last longer than iron or
steel. An effort Is now being made
by the government to preserve woods
Indefinitely by treating them with
bills and tar products. Already tele-
graph poles and railroad ties have
had their average life extended from
Ave to ten years by this process

How Long They Live.

Scientists have been studying for
years to ascertain the average age
OF different animals, and in the list
thus prepared 1t appears that man is
about midway between them in the
point of longevity, though physicians
believe that he has in himself the
power to extend this period rather
indefinitely.
The whale leads al lanimals in
point of longevity his age being
placed conservatiyely at 500 to 1000
years. The tortoise comes next, with
hundred to two hundred years. The
elephant, the camel, the eagle, and
the crocodile are each credited with
one hundred years and upward. The
carp Is an. elusive creature, it's age
having been figured at from rs to a
$50 years. Tigers, leopards, jaguars
and hyenas live some 25 years in
confinement, and probably much
longer in the wilderness. Swans,
parrots and ravens live 200 years;
pelicans. 40 to SO years; hawks, 80 to
AZ; geese, 80; monkeys and balloons
10 to IL; squirrels and rabbits, z;
queen bees 4; working bees six
months; and drones four months.
From study of such periods of
longevity, 1t would seem as If Ma
ture had made sort of Chinese puz-
zle out of the whole thing. There
Is apparently no discoverable law
that determines the age of the differ
ent animals and birds. Why the tor
toise and eagle should live some ten
or fifteen times longer than cats
dogs, or pigeons Is something that
no man has yet fathomed.
