Over the keys his fingers ran.
When you're down.tow opposite the
Crown

GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA.
Thsy Shed Masses Of Beautiful Silk

The silk cotton trees Of jamaica are
one OF the most striking natural fea-
lures of this beautiful island. and Wis.
itors express much curiosity concern
ing them. The fiber OF the cotton Is
too short for textile uses, but Its quail.
ity Is delicate and fine.
The trees are most interesting In
structure. They reach a height OF 200
or 800 feet. II is the largest tree on
the island. and the branches often over
hang more than an acre OF ground.
Some Of them are centuries old, dat
ing back TO the landing OF the Span
iards. They have withstood the trop-
ical winds Of the region through the
adaptation of their structure. The
leaves are very few, and there are
heavy masses of roots.
This giant tree flowers once year.

size and shape OF cucumber. These
pods dry and burst, and out floats the

IF the king be tsken sick" says
Coke In his Institutes" "there ought

to administer to the royal patient po-
