show that civilization has not made
mankind heartless, Baron Fon Der Os-
ten-Saken, St. Petersburg. Russia, who
says he Is a nephew of the Russian
minister of war, is making his way
around the world. He started penni-
less. Sitting in a cafe in st. Peters
burg he argued with another Russian
named Poltovsef, a merchant, regard
ing the effects of civilization on hos
pitable instincts. The result Of the
debate was that the baron started
fropc St. Petersburg without a cent to
make his way around the world, test
ing the kindness Of persons he met
by applying for employment. The
time limit given him is seven years.
He is to travel by any means availa-
BILE, but is not to receive aims. He
must perform some service for every
thing he receives.
Since starting he has been through
Russia, Siberia. Japan, and China.
After crossing the United States and
reaching New York he will continue
to Mexico, Panama, Central America,

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.

Florida has perhaps more useful
trees growing within her borders than
any other State in the Union-a great
er variety. But there is a general de-.
sire to Introduce more, as the soap
berry, the tallow tree and the euca-
lyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, a tree which is very valuable

growing with great rapidity, yet fur.
nishing a hard and durable wood, is
furnished by a letter to the editor Of
the Florida Fruit and Produce News
by e. E. Thompson Of Avon Park. Mr.,
Thompson says in part: Eucalyptus
trees were first planted here about
1894, and were injured by the great
freeze, but sprouted and grew like
orange trees. A few eucalyptus trees
planted later have made such wonder.

In California some species of euca-

low places where rain water stands

though they will endure drought, ac-
cording to a bulletin of the University
Of California. The durability of the

is due to an oil with which it is i'm

commercial purposes.-Florida Times.
