life, and Stunned and feared, are now the
abodes of numbers of people who find, since
the introduction of the eucalyptus trees, but
little traces of the dreaded malaria that for
ages once caused those regions to be so
Stunned and deserted.
In the low malarial regions around the Cape
of Good Hope and in some similar unhealthful
regions around Algiers and elsewhere, the
same benifcent results have followed the intro
duction of the eucalyptus trees
AS yet no variety has been discovered that
is able to withstand even moderate frost, but
the fact that millions of these trees can be
raised so easily and quickly in California and
Florida and perhaps in the warm places on the
Gulf of Mexico, and that its timber can be so
widely utilized, is a matter for cohgratulation
to all who are interested in the conservation of
our forests and also in the introduction of new
varieties of trees that will add to the timber
wealth of the country.
n general, eucalyptus may be successfully
planted in the sections of the United States
suitable for the culture Of citrus fruits. They
are grown in nearly all the agricultural Sec
tions of California along the coast Of southern
Oregon, and to a limited extent in Arizona.
New Mexico and western Texas. Several spe-
cies have also been planted in Florida and
along the Gulf coast. Here however, occa-
sional frosts have killed severely damaged
been discouraged.
The blue gum Eucalyptus globulus) has
phenomenally rapid rate of growth. Seedlings
stands will average height growth of so feet
in years and 100 feet In 10 years. Under
very favorable conditions individual trees have
reached height of 125 feet and diameter OF
SO inches in years. In sprout stands growth
is even more rapid trees frequently reach 8
inches in diameter and 35 feet in height in
months while in years diameter of inches
and q height of 70 feet often attained. In
California under favorable conditions, trees
have attained height of 175 feet and a d.
ameter of feet in Is years. Although some
times irregular in form, the tree tends to de-
yelop q straight gradually tapering, unforked
stem In plantations the trunks become rap
idly cleared of branches to a considerable
height, but in the open, trees branch more
widely and gradually develop short crown
of massive, spreading branches.
Blue gum is practically immune from dis
ease Where trees reproduced by sprouts,
the old stumps frequently decay slowly at the
heart, while the sprouts remained unaffected.
Growing trees are not attacked by insect enc
mics but felled timber lying EMBARKED upon
the ground is subject to injury by a wood-mi-
ming insect.
Blue gum rarely suffers any breakage of the
limbs by Winds and the spreading root sys-.
tenn renders the trees very wind-ftrm.

intense heat of the tropical sun of those lands
where they most flourish.
The Eucalyptus globulus generally called
the blue gum, from it's bluish-green leaves, Is
the variety most successfully grown in Califor-
nit It has also been introduced and fourishes
in India, Natal, Egypt, Algeria, and In various
parts of southern Europe and in some other
warm countries. 1t cannot stand the frost, and
SO must be classed among tropical trees. Per-
haps only in the state of Florida and Califor-
MIA expect to see 1t In perfectlon IN
this country; yet although its introduction into
California has been of but recent date, already
its value to that state has been very consider
able.
Some of the species of eucalyptus are much
more valuable than others. There is also
great diversity both In their appearance and
worth One of the most valuable is the Euca-
lyptus marginata, popularity called the Jarrah
wood 1t grows to great size and its tim
Der is SO hard that 1t is found to be especial
ly valuable in the construction of wharves, as
it resists the attack of the ship worms and
borers that are so destructive to ordinary WOOD
Because Of this quality 1t also enters largely
into the construction of ships and is utilized
In other marine uses
Some varieties of the eucalyptus yield a
kind of astringent gum or resin called Vino,
while from others species of mamma hard
cradle quantities. AS an antidote against ma
Iaria and as being valuable in warding of or
dissipating malaria in regions where malaria
abounds, the eucalyptus has obtained con-
siderable reputation. Expert opinions seem to
be divided as to the way In which Its benefi-
cent results come about. Some think 1t Is the
result of the volatile oils which these trees
give off through their leaves, acting as neu-
Trailing and even destructive power against
the malarial matter in the atmosphere; others
maintain that it's benefcent results are caused
by the fact of the trees being such rapid grow
ers, and the great quantity OF water they thus
absorb and then give off purifies the atmo
sphere Whatever may be the cause, the fact
is evident that their presence IN goodiy mum
hers nlanted in malarial regions, has produced
most benefcent results.

A COOL !.
PROPOSITION
And a Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
Unpleasantly If IL has
Proper Food
.Grape=Nuts

People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Thenfol-
low with saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
meager amount of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
BY this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect d1ges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment IN 1000,
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. Tney
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

by the late Bishop Taylor from distant Aus
tralia, its original home.
1t was surprise, as well as revelation, to
find on our recent visit to Australia that In
that far-away land, under the Southern Cross,
were growing trees that lowered in the air LOO
feet higher than the great Sequoia, the famous
red wood of our American west; and yet such
is the fact, some specimens of the Eucalyp-
tus amygdalna reach to the great height OF
4S0 feet. Specimens abound that are from l20
to 200 feet in circumference. They are prac
tieally of no use for commercial purposes, as
the expense of cutting down such enormous
trees and then getting their logs split up into
pieces that can be handled is so great that
these monsters are passed by the thrifty lum
bermen for the smaller ones that are more
easily handled.
The Eucalyptus amygdaina is the tallest, If
not perhaps the largest, tree that grows. Speci
mems over 400 feet high are frequently found
while some have been measured towering up
to 470 and 430 feet. The timber of these great
specimens is easily worked and as it does not
warp readily. is much used in carpentry.
The eucalyptus tree is genus of trees and
shrubs OF the natural order of Myrtacea, en-
bracing about $50 species. All but four Of
them are natives of Australia and Tasmania
only The eucalyptus trees are so abundant
In many parts Of Australia that over vast areas
they are practically the only trees visible. The
fact that the fully developed trees are desti-
tute of symmetry and beauty robs the great
Australian wooded regions of that attractive
and charm which gives such pleasure and
delight to the primeval forests of America.
One striking characteristic of several varie
ties of the eucalyptus is that, while they never
seem to shed their leaves, they cast or slough
off their bark in long strips every year. The
leaves, which have ieathery appearance, con-
tain considerable quantity of volatile OIL The
tincture or oil extracted from them has bit
ter aromatic taste and is extensively used as
q remedy for various diseases.
On the young shoots of many species the
leaves III pairs opposite to each other, as
they appear on ordinary plants, while on the
older branches the leaves are arranged alter
nately and grow in such way that they pre-
sent their edges to the sun. This seems to be
