TREES THAT WHISTLE MUSIC
Peculiar Species Of Vegetation In Bar
BADGES Actually Is Capable Of
Peculiarly Mentioned.

Poets have told how the wind
made music in the trees, and re-
Gently returned visitors from the
West Indies have adduced facts to
show that the poetic fancy is actu-
ally a thing of undisputed fact in
Barbados. 1t is the musical, or
whistling, tree, having a peculiar
shaped leaf and pods with a split
open edge. The wind passing
through these sends out the sounds
which give the tree its peculiar name.
In Barbados there is a valley
filled with the trees, and when the
trade winds blow across the island a
constant, moaning, deep-toned
whistle is heard from it, which in
the still hours of the night has a
very weird and unpleasant effect.
A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Sudan, is
also called the whistling tree by the
natives. It's shoots are frequently,
by the agency of the larvae of in
sects, distorted in shape and swollen
into a globular bladder from one to
two inches in diameter. After the
insect has emerged from a circu-
lar hole in the side Of this swelling
the opening, played upon by the
wind. becomes a musical instrument
equal in sound to sweet-toned flute.

NovELIST'S GOOD WORK.

Charles Reade, who stands among
the best of the English novelists
whose books were written with seri-
Gus purpose, was born 100 years ago
in Oxfordshire. He graduated at
Oxford, was educated for the bar,
and made success in the law. He
was NOR. than forty years old before
he began to write novels and plays
His inclinations lay in the direction
of dramatic writing, and while "The
LYONS Mail" and several other OF his
PLAYS were very successful, 1t was
with novels that he accomplished
real work. His, purposes, strongly
worked out in his books, represented
q form in the laws of England re-
garding lunacy, questions Of prison
reform, the important matter OF
copyright in books and PLAYS, and in
the vital matter of criminal proceed
ure. His death occurred at his
home. near London, in 1884.

PRIzED HIS WiFE's CRITICISM
huxley Not Above Acknowledging the
Value of Her Assistance-Hie
Advice to Herbert Spencer.

Mrs. Thomas Henry Huxley, who
died recently, was her husbands
chief critic, and all his writings were
submitted for her approval before
they were seen by any other eye. To
her judgment, says their son, was
due the toning down of many pas
sage which erred by excess of vigoy
and the clearing up of phrases tho
public might have found obscure.
Writing to her in 1868, he confesses
that the editor of Macmillan's had
brought him the proofs of the fa-
nous lecture on piece of Chalk" !"
and said, "There is one paragraph ]
can't make head or tail Of" 81
looked to where his finger pointed >
wrote Huxley, "and behold, it was
the paragraph you objected to when
1 read You the lecture. 1 told him.
and said I should confess however
set up it might make you"
An incident of the Hu1leys' hon.
eymoon was a visit from Herbert
Spencer, desperately trying, as usual,
to escape from his morbid condition.
They were at Tenby, and their re-
port of the place tempted him. 81
had hoped to benefit by going out
dredging, and also by the pleasures
of companionship. But l was disap-
pointed. Ny state was such that l
had to shun society, being unable to
bear more than a few minutes con-
versation."
1t was Huxley who, later on, pre-
scribed for Spencer "gynaopathy"-
the sympathetic companionship of q
wife; admitting, however, that the
remedy had the serious in "nve-
nience that it could not be leIt of
if it proved unsuitable.

INCREASE OF APPENDICITIS.

Doctor Mayo Of Rochester, Minn.,
points out the interesting fact that
within the past five years operations
for appendicitis have increased over
three hundred per cent and ne says
that this alarming condition is due
to the practise of wearing belts In
stead of suspenders. Now since all
women wear belts-or what CORE
spends to belts, only more so-one
would expect to find appendicitis
particularly rife among the fair sex.
Is this so?
There is growing belief that the
number Of operations for
appendicitis is due to an increased
medical recognition Of gold mine
that can be successfully worked. Con-
ceal from your doctor the fact that
YOU are in possession of S1O0 and he
will not recommend an operation for
appendicitis.

ALAS! THE EMPTY lam POTS
Fruit-kIIiing Frosts VIII Be Heavy
Blow to the British Break
fast Jam Eaters

As result of recent sharp frosts
jam will cost more. This, at any
rate, was the opinion expressed by
one of the agents Of the country fruit
growers.
''We have just had telegram
from Wisbech," he said, instruct
ing US to refuse all quotations for
the present"
This is the time of year when the
big jam manufacturers make their
contracts with the growers and mer-
chants-so many. tons Of strawber-
ries and raspberries and gooseberries
and currants to be delivered during
the coming season. Some have al
ready been made, but the havoc done
seems to indicate that there will be
a shortage of many kinds Of fruit
during the coming summer.
What has made this years frost
80 destructive is the fact that the
season is an early one-perhaps a
fortnight earlier than usual. OF late
years, too, growers have been striv-
ing to get their produce ready for
market earlier so as to catch some

BRIDGES RUsTED BY SALT.

Recent investigations of the Illi-
nois state highway department indi-
cate that few highway steel bridges
in that state are painted after their
final completion and acceptance
Very serious corrosion results and is
illustrated in a number of cases. A
serious factor in the corrosion of
iron and steel is the use of salt to
clear the roadway of snow and ice.
This was considered at least partly
responsible for the bad condition OF

been about fifteen years in service
