NAMMU TREE OF CHINA.
Introduction 1pto This Country o.
Highly Priced Oriental Wood.

From the Scientific American.
The nammu tree Persea nam-mu Oil
veD OF the laurel family Of plants yields
the most valuable wood Of China. 1t
grows in the moist climate of western
Szechuan. China, which lies between the
25th and 28th degrees north latitude. This
is In about the latitude of New Orleans
and attempts are now being made to
grow this valuable tree in this country.
The first introduction of the seed has
been so recent that 1t is impossible to say
definitely as to what part Of the country
it is most likely to succeed best, but the
very moist climate Of Szechuan indicates
that a considerable degree Of humidity
will be required.
1t els hoped that the tree can be ac-
climated and grown along the gulf coast
and In Florida generally.
In mature condition 1t is a tree from
100 to 125 feet in height and from 4 20
feet in diameter at the base. The nammu
tree grows very slowly and 1t does not
promise to be a profitable tree for plant
ing when quick returns are desired, but 1t
would serve as an ornamental tree OF
exceptional beauty.
The wood is Of extraordinarily good
quality and is used extensively for a
great variety of special purposes. 1t
furnishes the most highly priced wood
used by the Chinese. The wood is beau
very little in seasoning and is said to be
the most durable wood In the country. It
is soft, strong, dark olive brown, aromatic
and has exceedingly small pores and very
fine medullary rays.
The famous nammu tree is COMPARE
lively rare and is SO highly valued and
esteemed that it's wood is used only for In
terror finish for the chief imperial palaces
throughout China. The collins of the
rich are usually made Of this wood.

The news that another collection Of old
and rare v1olins has been added to the
possessions OF a museum In this city will
be less cheering to musicians than to
lovers Of art. The gradual acquisition by
museums in various parts OF the world
OF SO many OF the violins made by IA
some years past filled active musicians
with regret.
However safe q specimen Of tho handi-
work OF Stradtvarius or Guarnerius or
Amau or any OF the violin makers OF
the school OF Cremona may be in a glass
part OF its potentialities for artistic pleas
ure are utilized. Whatever the beauties
OF violin may be, 1t IL not by looking
at q fine specimen that one may enjoy
1t most 1t is the perfection Of their tone
that has made these violins famous They
artists who may bring forth their purest
sounds to woo the ear. In this way they
serve a double purpose. for they are an
inspiration to the artist who plays them
as we'll as q source Of elevating delight
to listeners.
So with the number of these fine in
struments as limited as 1t is today and
In demand by SO many musicians, the
acquisition by q museum OF any number
OF them will never arouse enthusiastic
interest In the minds Of those who know
that they really should be played on and
not locked up in glass case.
It may be that the generous donor OF
such collection will some day add to
such a gift q condition by which the In
struments may be used by artists worthy
OF the honor. Such q course would at ali
events be an improvement over the pres
ent method Of keeping them under lock
and key that they may, like good chill
dren, be seen and not heard,

Be Careful About Schoolbooks.

From the Housekeeper.
Don't let either Mary or John habitual-
iy carry school books under one arm. It
has a tendency to weaken the spine and
may be the beginning of a spinal curva-
ture. The effect will not be as notice
able in the grownup boy as in a girl. AL
most every woman has had her dress
maker tell her that one hip is higher
than the other, and that her measure
ments are unequal on the two sides. The
cause Is chiefly the habit Of using one
side of the body in all ways more than
the other. The habit Of carrying first a
pile of school books, and later parcels Of
all kinds under one arm usually the left)
is a very common cause Of disfigure-
ment.
Among other simple causes of spinal
curvature are astigmatism. which causes
child to hold his head on one side and
often to lean to one side In his seat at
school; lack Of proper nourishing food
which causes q child to assume and hold
a dropping position in his school seat:
and slight difference in the length Of the
leg, which should be made up by increas-
ing slightly the thickness Of the shoe
sole, thus allowing the spine to be held
true and straight. In short. whenever q
child fails to maintain an erect position
when standing or sitting there 10 ten
dency to spinal curvature which should
be overcome without delay.

BURIAL PLACE OF DANISH KING
Quaint Old Roskilde, That Has Suf-
fered From Fires.
From the Westminster Gazette

From the westminster Gazette.
The time-honored city Of Roskifde.
where recently all that Is mortal Of the
late King Frederick was laid to rest,
was until the year 1443 the capital of
Denmark.
In all probability no city in Europe
has suffered more from disastrous fires
population has never been exceeded in
proportion by any other western town.
At one time its Inhabitants numbered
100000. while at the present day they
have dwindled to a mere $500.
There is one relic Of the past which
will forever remain as the dominating
feature of this quaint old capital. and
that is tho beautiful cathedral, whose
graceful spires. tapering almost to the
point Of needle, are landmark for
miles in the low-lying country Of Zee
land
Consecrated as far back as the year
1884, 1T is the resting place Of the bodies
of almost all the Danish sovereigns
King Christian TX. who passed away
six years ago. The earlier monarchs are
buried in vaults. but the coffins Of the
more recent kings recline in side chapels,
quite uncovered and open to inspection
by visitors to the cathedral.
Roskilde is situated about twenty
miles north Of Copenhagen, and as a
royal burial place may be said to stand
IN the same position as Windsor does
in this country. The most beautiful
monument in the building is the sar-
cophagus Of Christian ~, Denmark S
most distinguished king. which stands
in chapel Of his own design, built in
the renaissance style in 1917, and he it
was who erected the beautiful spires
which are the external distinguishing
feature of the cathedral This monarch
is the one referred to in the Danish
national anthem. His statue Is the work
Of Denmark's greatest sculptor, the
mighty Thorvaldsen.
The new collins of King Charles TX
and Queen Louise the father and mother
of Queen Alexandra, are naturally the
greatest objects Of interest to the Eng
lish visitor. and beside them was placed
the remains OF the late king. The chapel
in which they find their last resting
place was built by Frederick v, in the
eighteenth century, but from an archf-
tectural point Of view 1t cannot be
claimed to be Of much interest.
Many distinguished mourners were
present when the father of Europe was
buried in 1906. On that occasion the
writer had the privilege Of being pres
ent, and possibly. with the exception Of
the funeral of our late King Edward,
there never has been a greater assembly
OF royal persons than were then present
in the history Of the world.

THE REAL CONQUEST
Was Between Cave Dwellers and the
Animals.

I'VE have been privileged cried Prof.
Challenger. Ito be present at one OF the
typical decisive battles which have de-
termined the fate OF the world. What is
the conquest of one nation by another? 1t
is meaningless. Each produces the same
result. But those fierce fights when In
the dawn Of the ages the cave dwellers
held their own against the tiger folk, or
the elephants first found they had a mas

victories that count. BY this strange
turn of fate we have seen and helped to
decide even such a contest. Now upon
