CABBAGES ON TREES
Horticultural Freak Of More
Than Usual 0ddity.
Abnormally Developed Cabbage Plant
That Has Borne over a BusheI
Of Small Heads and Is Still
Growing.

Santa Monica, Cal.-Apparently the
time has passed when country folk
were justified in sneering at the ig-
norance of their city relatives for
asking to be shown the cabbage tree,
or to be permitted to help husk the
pumpkins. 1t is true that no well
authenticated case has yet come to no.
tice Of pumpkins that needed husking:
but the cabbage tree is no longer a
myth born of ignorance, and persons
who have stood beneath its branches
are agreed that anything is likely to
happen.
So far as known, the original and
only cabbage tree" is growing in the
garden of John A. Pool, 1902 Eleventh
street. this city. 1t is nearly two
years old, and is about nine feet and
a half high, with trunk" II inches
In diameter at height of foot and a
half above the ground. 1t has borne
more than bushel of small cabbage
heads, and many more are yet de-
veloping. so that its days of usefulness
are not yet over. Near the top, It
branches in real tree-like fashion; but
Mr.. Pool feels that If cabbage heads
were permitted to develop on these
slender limbs they would certainly
break down the tree. So he cuts out
the heads that begin to form near the
top. but permits those that develop
along the trunk to grow to size
adapting them to table use.
Nearly two years ago Mr. Pool
bought number of cabbage plants

Bath Kills Man.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Isaac Schneider
took his first bath in two years few
days ago and 1t killed him. For many
years Schneider had suffered from
rheumatism and friends had warned
him against letting water touch his
skin, so he avoided it. But lately an
other friend persuaded him that water
was cure for rheumatism. He went
to Turkish bath establishment and
plunged into the pool. Friends assisted
him to the edge, and before physi-
clan could be summoned he was dead.

from a country woman, and planted
them in two rows running the length
OF his garden. All of the plants but
this one developed normally; but this
particular plant early displayed a ten
dency to shoot up in the air, instead
of producing round and symmetrical
head. After growing several feet high.
1t began to produce numerous small
heads along the stalk, but with no
abatement of its ambition to keep on
going higher in the world. AS 1t grew
higher and higher, 1t began to get
top-heavy, and a stout stake was
driven in the ground, to which the
plant is tied to prevent 1t from being
blown down.
Inasmuch as the cabbage tree has

THE ELECTRICAL HEN NEXT
tor Gives Astonishing Results to
Washington Farmer.

Tacoma, Wash.-Sixty-nine healthy
chicks from setting of 73 eggs have
Just been hatched by electricity on j.
Don Alexander's ranch at Reitmeier's
Station, Wash. The initial test was
so successful that 1900 eggs will be
placed in the incubators as soon as
the apparatus can be installed. The
equipment, which is not patented, can
be attached to any oil-burning incu
bator at an expense Of less than one
dollar.
Construction of the electrically op-
Grated incubator is simple. Mr.. Alex
ander took the lamps from the oil
burning machines and wound German
silver wire around the frames above
the egg trays, connecting the coils
with an incandescent light circuit.
This is made through contact device
consisting of piece of iron fixed on
the regulator arm to dip into small
cup filled with mercury.

TRAP FOR RIVER HORSE
One Of Many Methods Used by Afri.
can Natives In Killing tho
Hippopotamus.

Cape Town, Africa.-The natives
have various ways of killing the river
horse" On occasion. they will attack
1t with harpoons, to which are at
tached lines ending In floats. The
wounded beast, its position marked by
these floats, will then be followed up
in canoes, and finally speared to death.
At other times they will arrange great
pitfalls; at others. some such device
as that here illustrated
This particular method calls for the
use Of strong spearhead fixed In a
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1911-07-21

heavy block Of wood, which is hung
from a line passed over a branch of 6
tree in the animals path. The cord
by which the spear Is suspended is
made to run across the path, few
inches above the ground. and is SC
ranged that when the beast stumbles
against 1t the spear shall be released
to fall and strike it.
Well knowing that their quarry
though badly wounded, may yet take
to the water and escape, the natives
attach to the wood holding the spear
long line which ends in float; thus
the great beast can always be located
whether 1t be alive or dead.
The hippopotamus Is generally in.
offensive, but when pursued in boats
by hunters 1t is subject to fits of rage
and is dangerous. That the hippo is
capable of being tanned and of becom.
ing much attached to man has been
proved in many instances where the
animals have been kept in captivity
The hippo appeared in the ancient Ro
man spectacles and is supposed to be
the behemoth referred to in the book
of Job
The hippopotamus is rapidly disap'
pearing from its old haunts in Africa
as Colonel Roosevelt discovered in
his recent hunting tour. The flesh is
highly esteemed by the natives and
the fat, of which there is a thick layer
Immediately under the skin, is a ia
