PINES RELICS OF DIM PAST
There Are Now but Two Small Groves
of the Torrey Species in the
World.

San Diego, Cal.-Possibly no other
tree that grows has so small geo.
graphic range as the Torrey pine.
There are but two small groves Of
this species of pine in the world. One
is about Is miles north of San Diego,
CAL, and the other is on Santa Rosa
group. 1t is evident that the Torrey
pine, like the giant redwoods of the
Sierras and the Monterrey cypress, is
a relic of a past geological epoch.
The grove north of San Diego is the
largest of the two that still exist.
Here the trees are found close to the
ocean; on rugged and inhospitable
coast, where they are swept alternate

Boston, Mass.-It is no strange
thing for man to have household
pets chosen from among the number
less forms of life in the animal world,
but his attachment is seldom so great
as to result in the preservation of
their bodies after death, as was done
by some of the ancient rulers of
Egypt.
Possibly the man of today who

that the doors of great work in the
