One Of the wonders OF the vegetable

as Parmentlera cerifera. This tree
produces from Its stem and older
branches a great profusion of yellow
ish, cylindrical, smooth fruits. twelve
to eighteen inches long, which appear
exactly like wax candles, as the botan-
ical name implies. SO close Is this
resemblance that travellers, seeing the
tree for the first time, are liable to be
temporarily puzzled as TO whether the
candles OF shops are made In factories
or grown on trees! The candle like
fruits are suspended from the branches
and bare stem by short, slender stalks.

the impression of the chandlers shop.
As night falls and the numerous fire-

sion Is intensified. The inexperienced
traveller is not infrequently Informed

lighting up these candles" at night

met her death Monday night
Relatives of the girl at first believ-
ed she left the vicinity of her uncle's
home alone. Mrs. Catherine Keuer-
leber, however, informed the police
she saw the girls meet soon after
Miss Weber left the house. Mrs.
Keuerleber, who is well acquainted
here, says the girl Miss Weber met
was stranger. She gave the police
q good description of her.
Mrs. Keuerleber also told the po-
lice that she believes the Weber girl
had been morose for many days. On
Sept. 5. she says, she went TO the
Maple Grove cemetery and there
found Miss Weber. The girl was
seated in the center OF the graveyard
crying. None of the relatives or
friends of the girl have died recently
or are buried In the cemetery.
The story of r. J. Collier. to the
effect that he saw a man and wom-
an quarreling on a bridge Monday
night near the spot where the girls
body was found has caused the po-
lice to institute a search for the un.
identified man. Golfers description
of the man Is incomplete. however,
and the authorities have little hope
Of turning up a clew through this
source.
The theory that Miss Weber COM
mitted suicide was strengthened
when Coroner Romig reported that
there were no bruises on the girls
body. Miss Weber was employed
here as telephone operator.
