It's Stunted Tree Forms and Its Petri-
fled Forests.
In places In the Colorado desert are
stream beds where perhaps once In
several years heavy rains In distant
mountains will cause water to flow for
short time. In these dry water
courses several varieties Of stunted
tree forms are often found. The des-
prt willow, which resembles the willow
with which we are familiar. though
smaller in size; the val verde. or green
tree. a tree which is bright green
from trunk TO tip of limb In every
twlg. and the ironwood. so dense In
fiber that it turns an AXIS edge. are the
principal varieties. They are rarely
above twenty feet high and. like all
desert vegetation, have not a leaf.
They are apparently outcasts from
the two great tree divisions. deeiduous
and citrus, for they have leaves nell
Their to lose nor to keep. These may
be called the living dogs of the tree
family. We will find here also the
dead lions.
Not far from the mountain range we

self in my way. After she had lodged
the coal cart it was too late for me to
stop. | couldn't tell which way she
was going, and when l saw that she

Tn. Pearl Hunters, Superstition.

The pearl hunters of Borneo and the
adjacent islands have n peculiar SUI
perstition When they open shells In
search of pearls they take every ninth

put Il into bottle. which Is kept
eorked with a dead mans finger. The
pearls In the vial are known as seed
pearls" or breeding pearls" and the
native Borneose firmly believes that
they will reproduce their kind. For
every pearl put into the vial two
grains OF rice are thrown In for the
pearls to feed upon" Some whites
In Borneo believe as firmly I'll the SUI
