In connection with the above it may be
interesting to some Of our Bassin readers to
Inow that q specimen OF the famous teak
tree Of India may be seen in the garden
next TO the Fre-engine house in Kings
Street. The present writer has passed the
tree many times without k owing what it
was, which he learned only quite recently,
1t grows near the front fence, a small tree
mt present, having rather large leaves and
large branching punches Of small white
flowers At the presers writing the flowers
have all dropped off, and a few green fruits
only may be seen here and there. We are
told that the plant was introduced here
from jamaica by Mr.. Dahl, former chief of
the Central Factory.
In It's home the tree grows to a height of
fro IN 80 to 100 feet and from 3 to 6 feet in
dia meter. The botanical name is Iectoua
groudj&,. the second uame speaking for it
self, Will the first is altered from the native
name Iehha. There ale two other species,
one found III Burmah and another in the
Philippines.
When we go back from the noble teak
f. the veryan and its modest first cousins,
we see what a vast range in regard to SIZE
the verbenaccons family has, but ia regard
TO It's geographical range, as we have seen
already, It IS restricted, being mostly limited
to the tropics, where it forms, as we see from
IT'S numerous representatives in our own
island, an important part Of the Flora.

Dope Fiends Galore.

1t is estimated that six million people
in the United States are innOculated
with the cocaine habit, the worst of all
forms of drug habits. How many
millions are the victims of opium and
morphine is not known, but the use of
drugs of this pernicious character is
crowding the liquor habit closely, and
while the temperance wave is sweeping
through the country and agitating
nearly every city and town, the drug
habit is undisturbed so far as local ag-
itation is involved. 1t is true that
steps have been taken by the United
States government to check the opium
evil through efforts to prevent its, i'm
portation and the treaty powers have
recently signified to the Chinese foreign
office willingness to sign an agree
ment prohibiting the importation of
opium, but whatever measures may be
adopted it is known that the vast
quantities of the drug are smuggled in
to this country. Last year no less than
728,530 pounds of opium were imported
into the United States. Probably more
people are subject to the morphine
than the opium habit. 1t is source of
qualification to know that the farming
people are more generally free from the
use of pernicious drugs than any other
class of people.

A well known little moth with pale
green notified wings is the only case
IN which have myself watched the
protection afforded by color at work.
1t was on a summers evening when /
saw this little moth zigzagging up and
down with the most extraordinarily ir-
regular flight and q bird pursuing It..
Twice the bird swooped and just
missed his prey owing to a sudden
turn and drop on the part Of the moth.
And then to my great delight the moth
topped against the stem of tree on
which was growing a greenish gray
lichen The bird swooped again close
to the tree, but failed to see the insect
and quilted the chase. II took me an
appreciable time to detect the little
moth resting against the lichen and
