USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
A Great Variety Growing in tn
State-Some Durable Woods.

State-Some Durable Woods.
From the Florida Times Union.
Florida has perhaps more useful trees
growing within her borders than any
other state in the Union-a greater va
rety. But there is general desire
to introduce more. as the soap berry,
the tallow tree and the eucalyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, a tree which is very valuable
because it has the unusual quality of
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
Thompson says In part:
Eucalyptus trees were first planted
here about 1894, and were injured by
the great freeze. but sprouted and grew
trees planted later have made such
wonderful 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 feet around onS the BODY
hickory. 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 the eucalyptus. and are plant
ing 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 rainwater stands, and
In swamps, river bottoms, etc, though
they will endure drought, according to
a bulletin of the University of California
The durability of the wood, according to
other authorities. Is due to an oil with
which it is impregnated. and which is
extracted for commercial purposes.

Why the Ortolan Is Almost Gone.


In the Midi. especially in the Pyrenees
Orientales, the ortolan Is threatened with
extinction. The people are passionately
fond of this pretty little bird. but year by
year the number diminishes 1t is said
that the bird was formerly SO Plentiful
that the poor could eat them occasionally
II what a French contemporary says be
true, the sooner the bird becomes ex-
tinct the better. unless the authorit es
intervene and make an end to the cruelty
which we are told Is practiced.
The ortolan forms dish for epicures.
and this is the terrible story of how the
birds are fattened. They are netted I'm
large numbers, and authorities are agreed
that they are fattened by being placed
in cages in dark rooms or cellars But
to make the process OF fatten.ng a sue
cess. a French newspaper asserts that
before being shut up in their living tombs
the birds are deprived of sight. The
people of Provence Languedoc and the
Pyrenees- Orientales are this year lament
ing the abnormal scarcity Of this species
of bunting.

X. C'S. EvENTFUL DAY.
Special Election to Decide on Metro
politan Franchise Extension.

Kansas City Mo. Dec. ia special
election is being held here today to decide
whether the Metropolitan Street Car COM
pany, which controls the traction rights
of the city. is to have its franchise re-
newed for period of 26 years after the
expiration of its present franchise in 1925.
or until 1851. The question of reduced
fares is involved.
Prominent citizens have taken sides for
and against the franchise and one of the
bitterest campaigns in the history of the
city has been waged.
The champions of the franchise contend
that the new contract is necessary to the
development of both the city and the COM
pany while its opponents argue that the
terms of the document are vague and un-
certain and that the company asks for an
un-eaSonably long extension.
Under its present franchise the COM
pany charges straight five cent fare,
but the proposed contract provides that
pany shall sell 25 tickets for 81 and 6
for % cents The opponents of the fran
chise argue, however, that the potency of
this concession is destroyed by another
right to reduce fares before 1875. provides
that ''all existing rights both of the city
and the company, are in this regard here
by expressly reserved and remain un-
affected by the contract
1t is argued that as the city has never
reduced fares in the present franchise
st has not that right. and could not en-
force the modification promised before
1925.
The friends of the new franchise assert
that the company will be unable to
finance it's bonds unless it is adopted
The new ordinance provides that the
company shall before January l, 1913.

STOLE A BABY'S BODY.
Gruesome, Crime of GhouIs in Great
Falls Cemetery.

Great Falls, Mont, Dec 16.-An
empty grave in the Great Falls ceme-
terry and a sorrowing family whose
distress great wealth seems incapable
of alleviatiug are the only reminders
of a gruesome crime perpetrated on
Thanksgiving evening. The body of
the baby grandson of W. G. Conrad, a
multi-millioEaire. was stolen from its
tomb after lying undisturbed for a
year, and the rffled casket left in a
conspicuous place at the cemetery
gates.
AS days went by and no demand for
ransom was made, theory after theory
fell to the ground, and now, after
three weeks of ceaseless effort by pub
lie officers and private investigators, in
which offers of a reward for the re-
turn of the body had been made. the
mystery is more battling than ever.
Harfield Conrad, the father of the
dead child, has worn himself out in
the trying search and has taken his
wife. in a nervous state of collapse,
to California to escape the haunting
memory of the violated grave. The
search is beng kept up under the di-
rection of .he grandfather and no ex-
pense is spared to recovery the baby
of which the parents have been twice
bereft.

house resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of five to
make an investigation as to what use
less papers were stored in the docu-

to the house today. Representative
Clark, of Missouri. the minority

resolutions.
1T seems to be easy enough he
said, "to get a resolution reported for
the disposal of worthless documents.
but when an effort is made to get ac-
ton on the resolutions for an in
vestigation of the sugar trust frauds
to see how much money has been
stolen from the government and who
is mixed up in it and for an inquiry
into the general land office. some kind
of a smothering process goes on
