A Tree That Throws somersauits and a

A Tree That Throws somersaults and
Waterfall Reversed.
A tree gone mad and q waterfall that
falls up instead OF down are among
the strange things to be seen in Ha-
wall. as described by John Burroughs
in the Century Magazine:
Mature in the tropics, left to her
self, is harsh, aggressive, savage;
looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or impals
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 a tree In the Hawaiian
woods that suggests a tree gone mad.
1t is called the hau tree. 1t lies down,
squirm5 and wriggies all over the
ground like wounded snake. II gets
up and then takes to earth again. Now
It wants to be vine; now it wants to
be a tree. 1t throws somersaults, It
makes itself into loops sand rings, 1t
rolls, it reaches, It doubles upon itself
Altogether 1t is the craziest vegetable
growth l ever saw.
ut was near Pail that saw what I
had never seen or heard OF before-a
waterfall reversed, going up instead Of
down. It 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
pTecipice, but the winds catch II and
carry it straight up in the air like
smoke. 1t Is translated; IT becomes
mere wrath lowering above the bee
tling cTag Night and day this gOes
on, the wind snatching from the noun
tains in this summary way the water
it has brought them"

RAILROAD ON A GLACIER.
Melting Ice Changes the Roadbed of an
Alaskan Line.

An Alaskan railroad, the Copper Riv-
er and Northwestern, runs for nearly
seven miles over the lower end of the
Allen glacier, partly covered in this
part with moraines and vegetation, al
though at points the ice is visible In
an article contributed to La Nature
Professor Laurence Martin, chief Of
the National Geographical society's
Alaskan expedition, describes this part
of the road. He says:
During our visit in 1909 the ice was
visible in six of the railway cuts on
the terminal glacier. 1t was no longer
seen a year later, although it could be
brought to light by digging slightly.
In 1909 the railroad had been built on
a sort of shield Of ntorainic ballast,
encased in the ice, which had been
opened up with dynamite. 1t was
found to be seriously changed in 1910,
the sinking due to the melting of the
ice varying from two to three feet in
one place and to six or even eight feet
in others.
Nowhere else in the world-at least
to our knowledge-has a railway line
been constructed for nearly seven
miles on the edge of a still active
glacier. Here the layer of ballast
which supports the ties and rails lies
directly on the ice.
This perilous situation gives rise to
continual accidents. Sometimes the
melting of the ice displaces the profile
of the road; sometimes there are form
ed new streams, which involve a re-
adjustment of the whole system Of
support. Once even the abutment Of a
bridge slid sixteen inches toward the
river and new one had to be built
What makes the upkeep Of the road
still more risky is the possibility of
forward movement of the glacier. The
road would be destroyed and all traffic
stopped, for there would be no posi-
BILE way of getting out. After the pc
riod of immunity Of sixty-seven years,
which is attested by the vegetation. a
movement of this kind may take place
any day"

Our Unofficial War With France.

Some almost forgotten incidents Of
our national history are recalled by
the tattered old flags in the trophy
hall at Annapolis, says the Christian
Herald. The United States and France
have never declared war upon each
other, yet among the trophies are two
French tricolors. They are the ensigns
of the frigate L'Insurgente and the
corvet lie Berceau. In 1899 and 1900
the United States government backed
with force the protests of New Eng
land shipowners against the search
ing Of their vessels by foreign war
ships for the naturalization papers Of
the seamen So without a declaration
Of war a clash took place between the
two French vessels and two American
frigates, the Constellation and the
Boston. and the French ships were
captured.

Working For Better Wheat.

Several new strains of winter and
spring wheat on the experiment plots
of the college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin have heads
we'll filled with heavy berries, borne
on straw that stands up we'll, promis-
ing large yields. Selected heads of
ten of the most promising strains have
been reserved for further breeding in
accordance with the practice of the
college, and selections will later be
made of the best heads of new strains
of spring wheat
