tose, or tree of thousand years. It is a custom of somewhat modern ori- gin to make much of wistaria viewing. associated with sake drinking and merrymaking. For this purpose wis taria are arranged to cover long walks bridges, or arbors in tea and temple gardens.
 The tender leaves of the wistaria are good to eat. They are also used in place of tea, and the mowers them selves are used for food in China If taste is likened to that of chestnut. The bark Is need in Nippon for mak- ing cloths, ropes and sandals. It's branches are used as cable, and are also fit for bridge making. It is said there is nothing more durable than a wistaria bridge. Nipponese anti quarians tell how in early times. be- for carpenter tools had been invented, the dwellings of the people in Nippon were constructed of young trees with bark on, fastened together with ropes made of rush suge, or perhaps with the tough shoots of wistaria, and matched with the grass called kaya. I believe that the wistaria is a true Nipponese flower, although 1t bears in the Western countries such name in honor of Casper Wistarta the Ameri- can physician. ..'s4 tM
 One of the greatest Nipponese fanii- lies bears the name Fujiwara. or Wis., taria Field. It was by the Emperor Tenji (sevonth century, that Naka- tomi no Kamatari was authorized to assume that family name and created nai-daijin (private minlster). This family still prospers, keeping in, close touch with the imperial family of Nippon. The wistaria Is its coat-of arms. Besides the Fujlwara family, there are many other families who take 1t as their heriditary crest.
 The Nipponese are sensitive and symbolic in their superstitions and rules governing the use of flowers. These superstitions and rules are many and varied To use flower out of season. or one inappropriate to the occasion, would be considered ex- tremely vulgar in Nippon. In fact. some rule. !n itself a superstition. would be applied in such a way as to make the act a sacrilege. For the purpose of rejecting and prohibiting the use of certain flowers for special occasions of ceremony or congratula- tions, there is long list of rules Gone might call them traditions. supersti- tlon) that no one. not even a Nippon ese iconoclast. would think of dis regarding.

THE LITTLE SOUTH AMERICAN PECCARIES ARE REGARD
 ED AS MOST DANGEROUS ANIMALS.

among them and get one or two for meat. SO they fired into them. wound ing several, which commenced to squeal. Then the whole bunch made an attack. The men climbed quickly into, the wagon and kept on shooting So long as their ammunition. which they had in their pockets. lasted. AS they were opening their bags tol get out more ammunition, the peccaries climbed up the tongue of the wagon and jumped into 1t, and the men only saved themselves by jumping onto the seat and then into limbs of the trees, the peccaries taking possession of the wagon and tearing things to pieces.
 They remained in possession for hours. the. men watching them from safety In the trees" t' 7, .fe
 The peccary, or South American wild boar, is the smallest of his species. averaging about three feet long. nor is the animal possessed of any unus- ual degree of strength. To make up for this natural individual deficiencies In combat with the more powerful an- imals of the jungle, the peccaries al- ways travel in large herds. When once attacked by a herd of peccaries the outcome is nearly always death to their enemy. The little pigs are arm Cu NAtn oAtcAe SffoAP NAAN eAO matter how great the slaughter the herd stay on the job until the work Is finished.
 Travellers in tropical and South American countries tell of fierce en- counters between the peccaries and the jaguar. the monster cat which is lord of the forest. The jaguar has a fondness for a dinner of pork, but wholesome respect for the power of a herd of wild. pigs. When he wants to satisfy his cravings. for a pork diet he drops from a limb of Q tree onto the back of Q straggier in the pee cary herd. The jaguar stays his vic- tim and then retreats hastily to his tree before, the herd can get at him. When the. herd grows tired of waiting for him to- come down and moves along the jaguar cdescends and en1oys his meal at leisure. Edmund Seloue, in his romance of the. animal world, has an interesting account of'a fight between jaguar and a herd of pee carries. The peccaries had the sjaguar treed on the limb of a tree from which the back had routed away. He was only few feet above them. and by harrassing and jumping at their ene- 4ny finally succeeded in bringing the conflict to the ground. After the fight was over there were eleven killed and wounded peccaries, but the. 5aguar was literally torn to pieces. /

 During one of. his journeys into Mexico Edward W. Walton. a mining expert, had a close call from being sliced to shreds by the fierce little South American pigs known as pee carries. -..i.4.- .
 "I wished to secure some plumes from a number of the beautifully plu-. maged birds" said Mfr. Walton. II went into the jungle and came to small opening in which there were dry leaves, probably foot in depth, GOV ering the ground, and hundreds of beautifully colored tropical birds in the air and in the trees, I fired at one of the birds in flight, when 1t seemed to me the whole area. of these dead leaves arose in front of and all around me. Being stranger, natur- ally I was much frightened. especial ly when I saw the animals which rais- ed up the leaves apparently ready for an attack. The older animals open ed and closed their mouths. showing their big. sharp tusks, formed much like a dirk knife. and some of them started toward me. Impulsively I commenced firing my gun in the air and turned around. which seemed to stop most of them momentarily. and as l had lots Of cartridges kept up the shooting and they turned and ran away. I found afterward that I had saved my life by so doing and not by shooting any of the animals
 These animals proved to be the peccaries, the same species as are in the enclosures at the City Park. They are most ferocious and will attack any animal in existence on the slightest provocation. When I got back to headquarters and told my companions my experience I was informed that had shot one of the animals and made him squeal the whole bunch would have been on to me and would have torn me to pieces quickly, They have been known to kill bear, jaguar. cattle, horses and any number, of dogs. Although in the fight scores of-their number might be killed, they seem to have no fear when once aroused.
 "I was told the peccaries burrow un- der the dry leaves to protect them selves from mosquitoes and other winged pests of that hot country. My friends had many exciting experiences to tell in regard to these ferocious lit- tie animals. One of this party, while travelling with a companion in a wag- on, stopped for lunch under some trees and turned their horses out tt graze. While at lunch large bunch of peccaries appeared. and they thought it would be nice to shoot

 Some time aso the wreck of an ancient ship was located oy fishermen in fairly shallow water on Mahdta. The stretch of sea intervening bet ween that coast and Siciiy-Malta lies in it--was great highway of com merce between East and West in ancient days, one of the two paths by which seaborne freights between Greece and Rome could pass. From Barka to Tunis that coast, the re-
 zion of the Syrtes aestuosas. with its storms and shallows. with Its re- cord of disasters, was infamous in classical literature M. A. Merlin, the director of antiquities at Tunis. de- ,cided that 1t was worth while to Ind out what there wac in the ship. and divers were set to work last summer

 The death of Senator Martin N .IohnsonA of North Dakota. will have the effect of decreasing by two the Republican majority in the upper house of Congress. since the governor ol North Dakota is a Democrat and will undoubtedly appoint a Democrat to fill the vacant seat ad interim. A Re- publican successor cannot be elected until the next Legislature meets, in 1910, unless the Governor consents tC call an, extra session of the presen' Legislature. which Is not at all like ly. Such changes in states repre-. sentation in the senate. giving the mi. nority a voice instead of the majority are often the consequehes of a per. sonel victory won by the candidate for governor on a losing state ticket Charles A.
