looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or impale
you on her thorns or engulf you in her
ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood is
never as placid and sane as in the
north. There is tree in the Hawaiian
woods that suggests tree gone mad.
1t is called the hau tree 1t lies down,
squirms and wriggles all over the
ground like a wounded snake. 1t gets
up and then takes to earth again. Now
it wants to be vine; now it wants to
be tree. 1t throws somersaults, it
makes itself into loops and rings, it
rolls, it reaches. it doubles upon itself
Altogether it is the craziest vegetable
growth l ever saw.
1T was near Pail that 1 saw what
had never seen or heard of before-a
waterfall reversed, going up instead Of
down. 1t suggested Stockton's story
Of negative gravity. A small brook
comes down off the mountain and at
tempts to make the leap down a high
precipice. but the winds catch it and
carry it straight up in the air like
smoke 1t is translated; it becomes a

How the Great Snowman Occurred The
Swedish Nightingale
The site of Iranistan, with its Moor
ish towers and minarets, was engraved
upon the letterheads of P. T. Barnum
and was the one thing which attracted
Jenny Lind when he wrote seeking to
engage her for an American tour. In
fact, she confessed that it was this pic
ture that determined her coming to
America.
Jenny Lind contracted to come to
America in 1S49, the Swedish Night
ingale" agreeing to sing at $50 concerts
xor S25. coo, all travelling expenses paid
After she arrived in America Jenny
Lind asked Mr.. Barnum when and
where he had heard her sing. and upon
receiving the answer that he had never
had the pleasure Of seeing her before
In his life, she asked. "How did you
risk 80 much money on a person whom
you never heard sing%
81 r1sked it." CALAMITY answered Mr.
Barnum, ION your angelic character
and reputation, feeling that you would
please the American public"
Then began campaign Of advertis-
ing to prepare the people for the ap-
pearance of Jenny Lind. Two hundred
dollars was offered as prize for an
ode entitled "a Greeting to America"
to be sung by Jenny Lind, and the
award was won by Bayard Taylor. No
singer who has ever appeared in the
country has secured more enthusiastic
welcome than Jenny Lind, all because

Musical Tone. in Architecture.

It has long been believed that each
Of the mammoth buildings Of the world
will vibrate in response to some spe-
cial musical tone. Architects believe
they have found the tones for such ia
nous structures as the cathedral at
Cologne, Notre Dame in Paris and St
Paul's In London. Certainly it Is true
that each Of these buildings returns to
the ear Of the listener that one tone in
tensifed and augmented to surprising
extent. The corollary statement that
this keynote II sounded long enough
and with sufficient force would bring
disaster has never been proved.-Chris-

Writers are always fond OF dilating

In the course of country stroll VIII
Ham Wouldhave, the inventor of the
self righting nfeboat. came across a
woman who asked his help in lifting a
heavy vessel of water just drawn
from the well. On the surface of the
water there Goated the broken half Of
a wooden bowl Wouldhave was
drawn into conversation. and. like
many another who cannot keep his
hands quiet while he talks, he idly
toyed with the floating piece of wood.
Naturally he turned 1t over and found
to his surprise that 1t Immediately
righted itself He inverted it again
with the same result and since he was
at the time actually at work on the
problem Of an unsuitable boat be i'm

his chance discovery
It Is an experiment that any one
can readily make for himself. All you
require is the fourth part Of hollow
