Upper California is the home of

This pine produces at regular inter-
walls the usual cones containing seeds;

cannot be released. The cones are

More extraordinary still is the fact
that the pine. after producing its al
most invulnerable cones keeps them.

year. Unless through some peculiar
accident the seeds would apparently
remain attached to the parent tree for
ever. Many of the cones on the trees
in Kew gardens have been there for
years, as is shown by the size of the
branches and the formation of the
bark.

by this scrio-comic incident found in
Captain a. B. Townshcnd's book. IN
Military Consul In Turkey" a certain
highly influential foreigner at Adrian
ople wanted a Christmas tree and or
dercd one from Sofia TO come by train
but when the tree. an unpretentious
little fir about ten feet high. arrived
at Alr;anoplp station some one discoy

"Yas:ll lit is forbildem. said tic

"Yasals." echoed the sentry on duty
The foreigner said whatever was
fhe equivalent to rubbish and de
mandcd the tree.
Here was Il nice qnandary for the
authorities. Evidently it was most
fearful thing TO receive i, tree from
abroad. and yet the consigmce was
capable of getting some one into very
serious trouble If he did not get his
tree, and he said he must have it with
i'm forty eight hours.
Some one at the custom house SCARED
above the difficulty. The tree WAS sent
on to Stamboul on the Orient express
an eight hours journey. 1t came back
to Adranoplr by the next train. and
tile person for whom it was intended
received notice that "a tree from
',onstantinoplc" had arrived for him
and would at once be handed over

So the eEcd little Bulgarian tree
h:.d become Il Turkish one, brought

means 1t satisfied niIicialdom and sel'y-

library, where the big pink
blooms and green ferns were
used profusely for decorating
purposes. One of the most en-
| joyable features of the affair
was the beautiful music which
was discoursed during the af-
ternoon and evening by Sas-
sanc, the harpist from Sioux

he erts content and from tie
