The LARGEST Tree.

What is declared to be the largest
tree in the world Is the famous tule
tree that stands In the churchyard at
Militia. Mexico. The body of this won
derful tree Is 146 feet in circumfer-
ence. and although 1t was measured
more than 800 years ago 1t cannot be
seen that the tree Is making any
growth. Thousands of people visit
the tree each year. There is no ac-
curate way by which its great age can
be determined. but the best judges
place 1t at several thousand years.
Its exterior is very rough. and as 1t
has the appearance of being diseased
1t Is thought the interior Is decaying
Steps are being taken to preserve the
wonderful growth, but time has
worked such wonders that man In his
weak way scarcely knows what to do
to help to retain its life. Other large
tule trees are in the same locality. but
none of them approaches the one In
the old churchyard. - Philadelphia

Hail.

Hail is the frozen precipitation from
the air that belongs to the summer
while snow belongs to the winter.
Hailstones clash together In the air.
and the sound OF an approaching or
retreating hailstorm is very character
istic. Their large size permits them
to acquire great velocity while falling.
and this makes hailstorm destruc-
tive. The prevailing theory as to the
formation of hail is that powerful as
cending air currents carry raindrops
and ball snow upward. where they are
frozen and chilled. forming bodies on
which rapid condensation takes place
when they fall to warm and moist
stratum below. This theory explains
the layering of structure often found
but does not explain the angularity OF
many hailstones.

Interesting Fossils.

Splendid fossils were discovered
the other day during sinking opera

Cumnock. Scotland At about so
fathoms deep flower period was
passed through. well defined. fossils of
tree branches, ferns. flowers, seeds.
and seedpods being found. The most
interesting discoveries were evidently
of much earlier period. because
these were found at a depth of 7S
fathoms. This has evidently been a
marine period, the fossils including
several well defined shellfish, some of
good size, embedded in the ironstone.
Two most important finds are those
of animals. One. in a very complete
condition. resembles part OF seal

purpose of the Mexican government was to pre-

the case of small and exceedingly valuable com

TONS But another very important use OF the
aeroplane was evidently in mind, and that was
its possible employment by revolutionists in
conveying information of the movements OF the
government troops, endeavorng to capture rebel
forces Mexico would not object to the employ
ment of aeroplanes by the United States army
as proposed. but would probably not like the
appearance on the border of number of aero

exhibition at FL Paso if these machines to
operate over Mexican territory without respon-
sibity to the military authorities. Therefore, it
is probable that protest will be made by the
Mexican government against any such unreg-
ulated flights"
Glenn Curtiss wanted to take with him to
FL Paso the five young army officers whom he
has been teaching how to fly at San Diego, but
the war department frowns on the enterprise
and the state department would not offend the
sensibilites of a friendly nation which already
has troubles of its aplenty

Mexico Peeved at Aviators.

The Mexican government IS not pleased with
the proposition of this country to establish
military school of aviation on the border to prac-
tice scouting and watch the operations OF the
heller SHELTER 'war' in progress on the south
bank of the Rio Grande in the neighborhood' OF
FL Paso This reluctance may be due to sense
that the conduct Of hostilities either side will
scarcely bear expert inspection and might easily
become the subject of heartless ridicule, or it
may arise from feeling that the national priya-
cy should not be rudely invaded by the hateful
tribe of critics inspired by mduly eXactlng
standards of military propriety and observance
Whatever the cause or motive, the Mexican
government has signifed to the state depart
ment its austere disapproval of the plan. and
proposals are afoot for treaty designed to
regulate international aviation for whatever pur
nose and chiefly to prevent smuggling.

the negotiations:

syphus Bill Would Help Some.

Senator Syphus of Lincoln yesterday intro
duced bill in the legislature to amend the d-
laws of Nevada to the effect that claim
ants for divorce shall have maintained bona
fde residence of one year in the state of Nevada,
else shall enter complaint based upon acts
committed within the state While this meas,
ure will not place Nevada where it is to be
hoped she will eventually stand on the divorce
question. nevertheless it is step in the right di-
recton and will place Nevada more nearly on a
par with other states of the Union and remove
the stigma which has attached itself to the state
through Reno and her divorce colony"
1t is to be hoped that the Syphus measure
will meet with the approval of the legislature

The suggesting of the lieutenant governor is
that is worthy of prompt and favorable
consideration by the present legislature The
cause is a most worthy one, especially in view
of the fact that the present state tax is the
lowest exacted in any state in the Union. Edu
caon is the keynote Of the existence of the
American republic. 1t has done more to make
for the success of government than any
other one thing. The states that are today the
most prominent in the nation are those where
the greatest attention is paid to the educational
institutions Nevada should take her place
among the leading states, and that Immediately.
The more money that is expended upon the
schooling facilities of rising generation, the
larger will be the returns upon the Investment.
Not penny is spent upon education that
can rightly be considered as wasted. Every
dollar returns profit on the investment that it
is beyond the mind of the most expert mathe-
matcian to figure in percentage
Should the present session of the Legislature
fail to enact any other law but to raise the
state school tax it would go down in the his
tory of the state as of the best and most
useful that Nevada has ever known This mat
ter should be taken up at once and should be
given preference over all other legislation.
