SOME FACTS ABOUT TREES

The tailest trees In the world are the
Australian eucalyptus, which attain
an altitude Of 48O feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees Of California.
some of which are 276 to 373 feet In
height, and 10S feet In circumference
at the base. From measurements OF
rings 1t Is believed, that certain OF
these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree In the world
is said to exist on the island OF Cos,
of the coast Of Asia Minor, 1t Is sew
eral thousand years old, but just how
many no one has dared to, say. The
tree is carefully preserved by a wall
of masonry round 1t, and the trunk Ia
80 feet in circumference.
But there are parts Of trees In the
form Of useful timber which are even
older. probably. than any on the
stump. Beams In old buildings are
preserved today which are known
to be over thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to
day. and 1t is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward
of 1000 years.

1t is said that the European notion
OF wall paper was imported from
China. There It's Ornamental use for
screens. partitions and the like was
known as early ms the fourth century,
Authorities on this subject assert that
1t was Holland during her naval SUI
premacy OF the sixteenth century
which first began to adopt and hang
around the wall paper idea.
& The early Chinese wall papers were
printed from blocks, hand painted or
stamped with infinite labor and ex.
Quisite art They were made to order
produced In sheets OF varying di.
mensions according to the uses 70
which they were to be put. The mod
ern rolls OF wall paper with continu.
Gus duplicate design were unknown.
II was not until the invention OF the
modern printing and stamping ma
chimes with cylindrical rollers that
continuous conventional pattern was
favored.
AS neither China nor Japan was a
communicative country during the be-
ginning Of the commercial history OF
Europe these wall paper importations
were few and far between and con-
siderably at premium. Yet they
soon hit the European fancy as a
good substitute for the arras and tap
estries of the time.
Up to they end of the seventeenth
century the imported product was pro-
hibitive in price, however, and 1t was
not until the middle of the eighteenth
century that 1t was really a familiar
thing on the market. When the meth

per from blocks was introduced from
China each nation was Jealous OF us

tried to keep its own process q secret
Toward the end of the seventeenth
century the English were the largest
importers OF the hand decorated chi

short time. AS the demand increased
they began to perfect process OF pa
per stamping and paper decoration to
Initiate tapestries. and with Improved
machinery soon cheapened their pro-
duct and popularized 1t all over Eu'
rope. BY the time of the Stuarts the

FLOWER PICKING MACHINE.

An apparatus for plucking flowers
and collecting seed consists OF a tube
connected with a pair of shears. At
the forward end of the tube is fork
which Is slipped under the flowers
The blossoms imprisoned between the
prongs are severed by blade travel
ing upon the fork. and are dropped
through the tube into receptacle at
the rear of the apparatus.
The device not only collects flowers
very quickly but also without injury.
When the flowers are plucked by hand
It is almost impossible to break twig
without leaving behind long silver
of bark. Sometimes even whole
plant must be torn up by the roots.
The apparatus can also be employed
for collecting seed capsules which are
often crushed when picked by hand.

capsule drops uninjured into the re-
