The Stone Tree.

There is Il tree which grows in Next
co called the "chijoi," or stone tree.
1t is of enormous proportions. both in
circumference and height. 1t has a
number of branches spreading out
widely and carrying leaves of yell
lowish green color. The wood is ex-
tremely fine and easily worked in "A
green state. 1t is not given to either
warping or splitting. The wonderful
part about it is that after being cut
the wood gets gradually harder. and
in the course of Il few years it is alb
solutely petrified, whether left in the
open air or buried in the ground. From
this timber houses can be built that
would in Il few years become complete
ly fireproof and would last as though
built of stone.

different pieces OF silver that are put
on the tray. In one home where l
nursed recently two buffers were kept
busy from $50 in the morning until 10
