Some Things About Big Trees.


 Most of you have heard of the big trees iii California. There are whole groves Of them. Some of them are four hundred feet high, and are sup posed to be more than two thousand years old.
 Until lately these trees were believed to be the highest in the world, but higher ones have been found in Aus traNa, measuring four hundred and eighty feet.
 They are very different from those in California Some of them are called gum trees because a red gum runs from them, and others are called iron lark trees, because the bark and wood are so hard that the carpenters tools will scarcely cut them. The leaves of the gum trees are very large and thick, almost like leather, and are covered with little holes containing a pleasant smelling oil which is extracted and sent to different parts of the world,

The Pansy Seed,

One day a little girl came out in. the garden to plant some seed.
 She said: T guess I will plant some ransy seed
 She spaded the ground and broke up all the Jumps of dirt Then she took the stones out.
 The sun shone bright, and the next day it rained In two days little green sprouts began to come up.
 In two months there were big buds on them. The next day there were beautiful blossoms.
 The colors were white, yellow. pur- pie, red and blue. The blossoms lasted a long time. The pansies did not die Tut were covered with pine boughs and were blooming all winter.
 The pansies made the little girl very happy. She was poor girl and an other girl had given her the seeds And the next summer they bloomed on.--Ada Marriott age 10. Oneco, Conn

 All these trees are. of course, very old; but the oldest trees in the world are found in Africa. In Australia there are some trees called bottle trees, because their trunks grow in the shape of a bottle. Another kind is called the gouty-stem tree, because the stem is swollen and gouty.
 There are some other curious trees that I shall tell you about another time.-Lena Santo, age 13, Baltic.
