USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great variety Growing In the state
Durable Woods.

--DuraDte WOODS.
Florida has perhaps more useful
trees growing within her borders than
any other State in the Unions 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
because it has the unusual quality of
growing with great rapidly, yet fur
nishing a hard and durable wood, is
furnished by 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 we're injured by the great
freeze, but sprouted and grew like
| orange trees. A few eucalyptus trees
planted later have made such wonder
full growth as to cause people to look
up, take notice and rubberneck to see
the lofty tops The growth in ten
years is six feet around the body.
The seasoned wood is hard as hick-
DRY and posts show no decay in the
ground. The limbs. twigs, leaves and
seed cases make the very best fuel.
Our people are convinced of the great
value of eucalyptus and are planting
them up and down the avenues and In
the cemetery and will soon plant them
in forest form"
In California some species Of euca.
lyptus show greatest development In
low places where rain water stands
and In swamps, river bottoms. etc
though they win endure drought. &C
cording TO bulletin of the University
of California. The durability Of the
wood, according to other authorities
is due to an oil with which It is i'm
pregnated and which is extracted fol

On the contrary, they we're filled with

moles in a box containing sods of

Another naturalist calculates that two
moles destroyed 10000 white worms or
grubs in a single year. If this is cor

of multiplying rather than destroying
the moles.

Tho Life Of Service.

No life is really worth living that is
not a useful life, and which does not
exalt the idea of service. The life OF
the Apostle Paul was eminently sue
cessful, not as tried by the standards
of Caesar, but as measured athwart
the great plans of Jehovah, because
Paul put God first and Paul last, and
kept before him the ideal of the body
presented as a living sacrifice. as out
lined in the twelfth chapter Of Ro
mans. The Pauline ideal of conse'
Grafton that daily serves both God and
man is the only principle which should
rule the development of present-day
Christian life.
