They Are Found In Only Two Places
In the World.
In only two places in the werld,
Queensland and the west coast of At
rica, can there be found that most re-
markable of nature productions, the
Erythrophlocum laboucheri (or poison
tree). Referring to this tree in speak
ing at meeting Of the Sydney Nat
ural History society, A. Meston, for
merly protector of aborigines in north
ern Queensland, says that when in full
foliage it Is one Of the most beautiful
trees in the world. The wood Is ele-
santly grained and marked by colors
and peculiar streaks which readily dis
tinguished it from any other known
timber. 1t Is extremely hard and
tough, and the blacks Of the Cape York
woomeras, with which they throw the
spear. The tree bears long rods con-
tanning beans, which, like the leaves,
are fatal to all animal life. The

may show only three or four undigest-
ed green leaves. All animals are blind
before they die and remain blind If
they recover. This tree killed sixteen
of the Chilagoe company's camels. 1t
killed some of the horses and cattle of
the Jardine brothers in their expedi-
ton to Cape York in 1864. On one oc-
casion it killed several thousand sheep
on the gulf rivers. Occasionally an
aboriginal Lucretia Borsia disposes of
a rival by mixing some crushed beans
in mashed yam or pounded conjeboi,
