USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.

Great Variety Growing in the State
Durable Woods.
Florida has perhaps more useful
trees growing within her borders than
any other State in the Union-a great
er variety. But there is 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, tree which Is very valuable
because it has the unusual quality of
growing with great rapidity, yet fur
n1shing 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 were 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 will 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 for
commercial purposes. Times

eagle. Instead of being allowed to
pose IN lofty independence as our pa
triotic emblem this unitarian in.
ventor has put him to work. A team
of live eagles, each hitched up in spe-
cial harness, was connected to a bal
loon as shown in the illustration, and
formed Q means of controlling and di-
recting the fight of the balloon. This
motive power was capable of indefinite
radius of action and all the aeronaut
had to do was to keep his team of
eagles headed in the direction he
wanted to go, which was done by
turntable arrangement to which the
eagles were secured by their harness
The inventor in this case was a
Frenchman and his invention was
patented in France before it was pat

What Could She Have Heard.

Professor Robert Herrick possesses a
full share of the artists sensitiveness
in regard to the inartistic. Some years
ago he had for next-door neighbors
a family among whose charms good
taste was lacking.
One morning the professors little
daughter made an unexpected call at
the house of this family. SHOW me
the rug in your ROOM she demanded
with childish imperiousness.
The lady of the house suppressed her
wonder and took her little visitor up
stairs. Inside the door the child stood
and stared at the rug for a couple Of
minutes. HIM" she said, and sat her
self firmly in chair, her eyes glued
to the rug. Finally she confided to
her wondering hostess, We'll, it
doesn't make me sick!'-Success Mag

MONKEY AS AUTHORS PET.

Simian Tore Up Manuscripts and
Concealed Valuable Orders.
A Paris contemporary dealing with
the love of great men for animals
gives an amusing account of Chateau
BRAND and his monkey, the London
Globe says. When he was engaged in
preparing Fontanes' works for the
press on returning one. day he was
met by his monkey.
"Ah, you rogue" said Chateau
BRAND, your shamefaced look tells of
mischief" The monkey was chained
up, but as things did not appear much
disturbed Chateaubriand thought no
more of the matter until it was time
to resume work. Fontanes' manu-
scripts were not to be found.
At last Chateaubriand looked into
the waste paper basket and there were
the manuscripts. The monkey had
watched his master, and as he had
seen him fold sheet of paper and
tear it into four, so he had dealt with
Fontanes' writings. With much labor
they were pieced together and after.
ward published.
Chateaubriand thought it advisable
to see what else the monkey had done
His orders had disappeared from a
drawer which was always kept closed.
The servants searched everywhere for
them, but they were not to be found.
Nearly a week elapsed before they
were traced and then a domestic no.

them to the cornice in quasi-symmet

1t is expected that this years corn
crop will be the largest ever grown.
The estimate is three billion bushels,
worth to the farmers who raise 1t
more than two billion dollars. Corn
is indeed the king OF all American
crops, the greatest material contribu-
tion OF the country to the wealth and
welfare of mankind Cotton and
wheat are often ranked with corn,
yet the most valuable cotton crop the
country ever raised, that of 1906, was
worth only seven hundred and twenty
two million dollars-a little more than
one-th1rd Of the value of this years
corn crop-and the greatest wheat
crop, that of 1908, was smaller still In
value, six hundred and seventeen mil,
lion dollars. The value of this years
corn crop Is greater than the nations

civil war. Corn is something distinc-
lively American. The maise of the

continent and is one of its golden

Cave Mountain. in the Siskiyou Ma
tional Forest, In Josephine County,
Oregon, has lately been set aside as a
national monument by President Taft.
The mountain contains some extensive
caves in the marble and other lime
stone rocks that compose it. The
caves were discovered in 1874 by {
bear hunter, and were partly explored
three years later. Although they were
penetrated to a distance of two miles,
it is known that there remain many
chambers and passage ways which
have not yet been entered. The gov
ernEnent has built trails through the
forest to facilitate access to the caves.
