THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.

The great progress of scientific for
estry in the past few years has render
ed practically impossible the extinction
of our native trees, but should such a
calamity ever befall US we have an i'm
migrant tree which will be able to sup
ply all our wants. 1t is the eucalyptus
or gum tree Of Australia, which grows
so fast that it can almost be harvested
every autumn, like grain.
The first eucalyptus plantations in
this. country were set out in California
twenty-five years ago. Some of these
groves have been cut down three or
four times and are again high in the
air, while those trees which have had
the full twenty-five years growth are
as large as oaks 300 years old. A Cal
ifornia farmer who had planted a row
of eucalyptus alongside his house as a
sort Of hedge cut it down at the end
of five years and got twenty-four cords
Of firewood. The row of trees was
only $50 feet long.
The eucalyptus makes the best kind
OF frewood, but is equally good for.
any other purpose for which wood is
used. 1t makes even better piles, some
experts say, than Oregon pine, and it
has been successfully tested in the
form Of street paving blocks as well as
that of household furniture
1t is not entirely on it's reputation as
rapid grower that the eucalyptus
bases it's claim to fame. 1t is a doctor
and sanitary engineer. The leaves
of the tree contain a fragrant volatile
oil which is much used in treating
diseases of the lungs and throat.
The tree has the peculiar ability to-.
shed it's bark, and at night the groves.
give off a strong odor like ozone,
slightly tinged with the scent of pep
permint. p In Australia consumptives-
camp near. the eucalyptus forests in the
belief that the indicated atmosphere
will cure or arrest the disease.
AS an engineer the eucalyptus has
made its mark in the. Roman cam
pagna. ! The tree absorbs great
amount Of water through it's roots.
Large groves planted by the Domini-
can monks in the malarial plains
about the Holy City have dried and
made healthful land which. for cen.
turtles had been swamp. 3

In California the eucalyptus has
proved valuable as windbreaker
when planted in hedges about Or
chards of delicate orange and lemon
trees. The ranchers Of the great
prairies,s too, are setting out the euca.
lyptus by thousands.
The eucalyptus is unlike in its ap-
pearance any American tree. 1t is a
dark, sober colored tree of a sad dis
position, for its leaves all hang down

introduced into this country.
