Whistlinq Trees,

Among the curiosities Of tree life is
the sofar. or wtistADg tree of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree it
gives out 6utelike sounds, playing
away TO the wilderness for hours at
a time strange. weird melodies. 1t is
the spirit OF the dead singing among
the branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad OF small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary is
lands is another arboreal freak This
tree, in the driest weather, Will rain
down showers from its leaves. and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot OF the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base OF the
leaves.

Discovery That Must Have cone as a
Great Relief to the Young
Lawyer.

One rainy day recently, young
lawyer. thinking he would like to take
a little flyer in stocks. called at the
Office OF his broker, who happened to
be his most intimate frieAd. When
he reached the Office new clerk
whom he had never seen before told
him that the broker was engaged, but
would be at liberty in a few minutes.
While sitting idly in the waiting room
the young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out.
The gloom of the day necessitated the
use OF artificial light in the brokers
private office. Sflhouetted upon the
ground glass partition between the
two rooms the lawyer saw the shad-
ows OF man and a woman. They
were both seated. the broker at his
desk and the woman beside and fac
ing him. Every moment or so the
lips Of the shadows seemed to meet
afectionately. Something about the
profile of the woman struck the law
yer as strangel. familiar. He rose
instantly and threw open the door.
Sure enough it was his wife. but she
was sitting decorously in a chair two
or three feet from the broker. bur
almost in line with him, engaged in
an animated discussion.
Both looked up>at the intrusion, but
without the least embarrassment

broker, Your wife here thinks she

EulLT TO DEFY EARTHQUAKES
Tree Homes of Mexico Made o'
Twies and Grass interviewer
With Branches.

In order to protect their hon IS
from earthquakes many Of the natives
in the territory around Chispancingo
re=o. Mexico, live in trees. Some Of
these tree homes are of large size
and are ingeniously constructed
Reeds and grasses are interwoven
with the twigs and branches of the
tree. much in the manner that a bird
builds its nest
The seyerest wind seldom looses
these houses from the tree. Where
the trees are large and stand closely
together houses of two and three
rooms are frequently built in Their
branches These houses also afford
protection from the tigers" and 9th
er wild animals which are found in
that region in large numbers. II is
claimed that 4 tiger will not attack
its prey unless II is upon the ground.
The prime object OF elevating these
houses into the trees, however. is to
keep them from being shaken down

tie Guerrero territory at frequent in

The rocking of the earth gives the
trees a swaying motion that does no
