COFFEE TREE SEEDS
USED IN ROSARY
MADE IN CAPITAL
American Product So Plenti-
full 1t Will Be Extensive ,
ly Utilized in Future.

The first rosary to be made from the
seeds of an American plant has been
finished at the Franciscan Monastery,
Commissariat of the Holy Land. from
the seeds of the Kentucky coffee tree.
The seeds were supplied by Fred j.
Braendle from tree grown in his yard
at 1886 Nineteenth street northwest
Hitherto the tree and its fruit have
been valued only for ornamental pur-
poses. Braendle found that the rip
ened fruit, a hard seed, would take a
beautiful polish. He collected a num-
ber of seeds and sent them to the mon
|astery, where they were strung on a
silver chain with a crucifix. Tie dark
brown OF the polished seeds forms a
marked contrast with the silver.
The rosary Is in the possession OF
Catholic University of America.
Mr.. Braendle believes that the first
rosary completed is so attractive that
these seeds Will be used in making
rosaries to be distributed in America
in the future.
The Kentucky coffee tree grows
throughout the South. and there are
a number of them in Washington.

Steamer St. Johns Will
Resume Moonlight Trips

Now that Colonial Beach and most OF
the other summer resorts around the
city have closed, the steamer St. Johns
will resume the moonlight trips forty
miles down the river that were so pop
ular the early part of the summer The
trips begin tonight and will continue
as long as the weather permits. The
steamer will leave the Seventh street
wharf at o'clock each evening, re-
turning at 10:45.
The young people are especially In
terested in these moonlight trips, as
they have found no more delightful

everything necessary for an enjoyable
trip will be on hand in abundance, and
It is believed large crowds will each
