CURIOUS MEXICAN TREES.
One Whose Fruit Is the Counterpart of
the Green Parrot.

Mexico probably has greater range
of remarkable vegetation than any
other country in the world. The par
rot fruit tree produces an odd shaped
fruit. bearing close resemblance to
green parrakeets. When the parrakeet
is frightened it makes a dash for the
parrot tree, where it assumes position
which makes it look like the fruit it.
self. SO close is the resemblance that
their enemies, the hawks. occasionally
fly by tree on which dozen or more
of these birds are sitting, apparently
unaware of their presence.
Another remarkable tree is the ar
boil de dinamite-dynamite tree-whose
fruit, if kept in warm place, bursts
with considerable force and loud re-
port, scattering it's fiat seeds to sur
prising distance.
One of the most interesting fruits In
Mexico is known as the melon ZapOte
or papaya. It contains considerable
pepsin, which reacts against both acid
and alkaline conditions of the stomach.
and it is said that diet which in
cludes papaya precludes dyspepsia.
Both the fruit and the leaves possess
the singular property of rendering
tough meat tender. When the pulp OF
the fruit is rubbed over piece OF
tough meat the juice attacks the fiber
and softens it-National Geographic

Stoats Hunt In Packs.

In some years stoats appear to be
more numerous than in others, and
they are seen not in ones and twos.
but in dozens. hunting together in
small packs. Stoats will hunt together
from scent and in full cry like pack
of hounds, one always keeping the line
and followed closely by the others.
This sight has been recorded by differ
ent observers who have also seen Wea-
sells hunting in the same way.

immigration of this kind has been at

in the pay of the Chinatown Tongs.
Between the Chinatown longs and the
Interpreters they have managed to get
into the government service, evidence
has been manufactured freely to OBJ

which made possible their recently

minor sons of Chinese merchants to
enter this country and join their par

China for young men. They were
brought to Canada and the Canadian
government was furnished with $500
bond as required of every Chinaman
entering the Dominion. Travelling
east through Canada, the imported
Chinese iaborer would reach a point

would claim the right to enter the

some Chinatown CRATER in one of the
larger eastern cities. A Chinatown
Tong member, posing as a merchant,
would appear as the father of the i'm

terpreter would establish the alleged
parentage to the full satisfaction of
the immigration officials.
Joe Lee, Chinese interpreter, con-

office in Philadelphia, has been sus-
pended and his brother and six China

interested in the smuggling trade So
