QUEENSLAND'S WATER TREES
Wlss Provision Of Nature That Is One
of the curiosities of the
Region.

One Of the curiosities in natural his.
tory in the colony of Queensland is
the provision by nature Of a supply of
water in the roots of certain trees.
On these roots the aborigines former
~ depended for their water for sew
eral months of the year.
There are severe kinds Of trees in
Queensland from which water can
be obtained, including three species
Of eucalyptus, and the kurrajong. The
eucalypti consists Of a gum, which is
the largest Of the back country trees.
a box and malice. The first named is
the most preferred, as yielding the
greatest quantity. This tree resem-
bles the red gum in appearance, the
leaves being little narrower and of
a silVery color. II grows chiefly on
sandy or light loamy soil and throws
out numerous lateral roots at depth
OF about nine inches from the sur.
face Of the ground. The position Of
these roots was ascertained by the
blacks by repeatedly jabbing the
points OF a spear or sharpened stick
in the soft earth at a distance Of about
six or eight feet from the trunk Of
the tree. The soil was then removed
with a wooden shovel for some 20
feet or more and the root cut OF at
either end. This was then cut up
into lengths of about 1S inches, the
bark knocked on and the lengths stood
on end in some receptacle to contain
water. In many cases the blacks used
a bag made Of the entire skin Of the
male wallaby. AS soon as all these
pieces were placed on end the opera,
tor, beginning with the first placed,
put the end in his mouth, and by a
vigorous pun expelled the remaining
water. The size OF the roots chosen
was, with the bark on, about the thick
ness OF a mans wrist. The larger
ones being more woody and less por.
GUS, contain little or no water. The
water is beautifully clear, cool, and
free from any unpleasant taste or
smell

Of four families, and the latest CEN

Maryland Town Plans to Build
Substantial Buildings in
Burned District

CHESTERTOWN, Md, Sept. %
The total damage caused by the fire
here was s94,45O, and the insurance
is S47,SS5. The first insurance loss
was paid yesterday by J. N. Wheatley
and Company, agents, to William L.
Fowler, who received $500 under a
policy on his furniture.
At a meeting of the Town Council
II was decided to allow merchants who
were burned out to erect temporary
structures on the public square, and
buildings are being erected there by
Messrs. A. ToulsOn. Thomas Bordley
and Mcintyre and Hodgkin. Messrs.
Toulson and Bordley will shortly be-
gin the erection of buildings on the
sites Of their buildings which were de-
stroyed by the fire.
Local fire insurance agents say that
all losses by the fire will be adjusted
within few weeks, and the work of
building up the burned district will
begin in earnest.
II is expected that much of the
property In the burned area will
change ownership. The erection of a
number of substantial buildings have
been planned.
A number of merchants have found
temporary quarters In Bashell Hotel,
the Hynson Marble Works, and IN pri-
vate houses. The debris of the fire
is being cleared away, and the peo-
pie of Chestertown have assumed a
hopeful attitude.
