LESSON LEARNED FROM ORIENT
Western Nations Appreciate the Valu,
Of Their Forests.

Scientific men speculate to the ef-
feet that the boundless desert of Sa-
bara was once garden supporting a
mighty population and doubtless the
seat of what was then human civiliza-
ton. There is authentic history for
1t that the region called Mesopotamia
was the granary of the east and the
center of human endeavor when Cyrus
the Great was king, but it is now a
desert waste, and owls and bats in
habit the ruins of Babylon because of
the denudation of the forests of that
once splendid country. Spain paid a
bigger price for the havoc she wrought
among the trees of the valley of the
Guadalquivir than the Berber invasion
and the Moorish dominion cost her
The nations of western Europe
England, France and Germany-ap-
pear to have learned the lesson and
profited by 1t. In those countries tim
Der culture is as much regular crop
as potatoes in Michigan, corn in Iowa,
tobacco in Kentucky, or cotton in Mis-
sissippi, and in at least one of those
countries 1t Is the law of the land
that for every tree felled another must
be planted, and no tree is felled I'M
til it has attained to It's zenith as a
plant.

Clever Crabs.

The tree crab of the South Sea is
lands is akin to the hermit crab, but
1t is larger and it has its hind quar-.
ters sheathed in shell. 1t is
also known as the palm crab, because
1t climbs the cocoanut palm and
picks the fruit, which it nips Oh
close to the stem. 1t always takes
care to choose palm tree with plenty
Of stones at the foot, so that the
cocoanut may be broken by the
fall When the natives see that a
crab is in tree they tie ruff of
grass around the trunk. When the
crab comes down again he is upset by
the grass and falls heavily to the
ground, where he lies stunned. He
is then killed with stone az, his
nippers are tied together and be
is slung upon spear to be carried
to camp. The South Sea islanders
roast the palm crab between two hot
stones and consider the flesh a great
delicacy.
