years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment

were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time had
used the third bottle, I was entirely

lire 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 it's timber can be so
widely utilized, is matter for congratulation
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

planted in the sections of the United States
suitable for the culture of citrus fruits. They
are grown in nearly all the agricultural Sec
tons of California, along the coast of southern
Oregon, and to limited extent in Arizona.

cies have also been planted in Florida and
along the Gulf coast. Here, however, occa-
sional frosts have killed or severely damaged

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 1875 feet and diameter OF
SO inches in years. In sprout stands growth
is even more rapid; trees frequently reach
inches in diameter and 35 feet in height in
months, while In years diameter of inches
and a height of 70 feet are often attained. In
California, under favorable conditions, trees
have attained height of It's feet and d.
ameter of feet in Is years. Although some
times irregular in form, the tree tends to de-
velop 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 a short crown
of massive, spreading branches.
Blue gum is practically immune from dis
case. Where trees are 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 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-frm.

by the late Bishop Taylor from distant Aus
tralia, its original home.
1t was a 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 $50
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 amygdalina reach to the great height of
$50 feet. Specimens abound that are from 100
TO 200 feet in circumference. They are prac-
ucally 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 amygdalina 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 40 and 4SO 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 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
ness 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 leathery 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
a remedy for various diseases
On the young shoots of many species the
leaves in pairs are 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
natures provision to protect them from the

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 1t 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
must be classed among tropical trees. Per-
haps only in the state of Florida and Califor-
MIA we expect to see it in perfection 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 a
great diversity both in their appearance and
worth One of the most valuable is the Euca-
lyptus margnata, popularity called the Jarrah
wood 1t grows to a great size and its tim
Der is so hard that it 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 it also enters largely
into the construction of ships and is utilized
in other marine uses.
Some varieties of the eucalyptus yield
kind of astringent gum or resin called Vino,
while from others species of manna-a hard

cradle quantities. AS an antidote against ma
laria and being valuable in warding off or
dissipating malaria in regions where malaria
abounds, the eucalyptus has obtained a con-
siderable reputation. Expert opinions seem to
be divided as to the way in which its benef
cent results come about. Some think it is the
result of the volatile oils which these trees
give off through their leaves, acting as neu-
tralizing and even destructive power against
the malarial matter in the atmosphere; others
maintain that its 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 ourifes the atmo-
sphere. Whatever may be the cause, the fact
is evident that their presence in goodly num-
bers, planted in malarial regions, has produced
most beneficent results.
The Roman Campagna especially has been

tions once considered almost fatal to human

Owing to the rapidly increased price OF
timber and lumber, the matter of fcrest-grow-
ing is of vital interest to the great corpora
tions like the railroads, manufacturing and
building companies, that must have, for their
very existence, vast quantities of timber and
lumber. The timber required by the railroads
for the one item of railroad ties, not taking
into consideration the quantity used in the con-
struction of cars and buildings, consumes the
output of many hundreds of thousands of acres
of timber lands every year.
