STRANGE THINGS
ARE SEEN BY TEDDY

Manaos, Brazil, May 18.-Romantic
were the tales of adventure told here
when Colonel Roosevelt and his ex-
plorers emerged from the jungle.
They brought to the world first ac-
counts Of the strange animal and plant
life and the mysterious geography of
that vast jungle land which lies south
of the Amazon between the Madeira
and Tapajos rivers. 1t is part of
the Matto Crosse, or Great Forest,
which is perhaps the least known and
at the same time the most fabulously
rich region on earth. The soil is in
credibly fertile, and beneath it in
many places lies virgin gold. Dia-
monds are found on many of the riv-
er bottoms. It's plants and trees
supply every possible need of man.
kind.
Milk Trees Discovered.
Entering the very heart of this rich
wilderness from the south in the
neighborhood of the Geral mountains,
the Roosevelt party found that vegc-
tation became so dense and so profuse
in variety, as they descended from
the plateau, that classification was al
most impossible. The trees here grow
to great height, many of them being
over $50 feet tall. There are mag
nifcent mahogany, palm and Brazil
wood trees, the latter furnishing a
precious wood very like ebony.
Some specimens are found of a tree
which is useful to man in more way
than any other known-the wax-palm,
native to the northeast of Brazil.
From it's roots the Indians make a
healing drink something like sarsa-
parilla. An incision in its bark pro-
duces flow of delicious liquid re-
sembling the milk of the cocoanut.
Another tree, descriptively called the
cow tree, also yields milk which ex
plorers assert can hardly be distin-
guished in taste and nutritive quail
ties from the bovine product.

Washington, Jan. 15.-News. of the

seismic disturbances which have
wrought such havoc in Japan in the
past few days created somewhat of a
sensation in scientific circles here to.
day.
There was of course the usual disposi-
tion in some quarters to regard the
earthquake forecast as mere lucky
fluke. The more open minded con,
sensus of opinion, however, was that
the matter was worth investigation at
any rate. Officials of the agriculture
department were especially interested
and the prospects seemed to be that the
near future might see the department s
representatives thoroughly looking into
the California Observers methods, with
a probability, if they are satisfied, that
an opportunity will be extended to him
to carry on his work on a larger scale
and with better equipment.

the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly

slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.

WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN

Washington, Jan. l5.-White women
live to and die at more advanced ages
than white men, is proved by figures
published today by the Department of
Commerce. Until the age of eighty
years more deaths Of male members of
tho race are recorded This is accounted
for by the fact that there are more
men than women.
Conceding the numbers of both sexes
are about even at the age of seventy,
great number Of the surviving men
die during the next decade, after which
the mortality rate for women leads.
There were 7SO women over 95 years
old who died during the year 1910, and
only 53i men OF the same age died;
24b people over 100 years old died dur.
ing tho year and Of this number 149
were women. These figures would seem
to prove that the older women die fas.
ter than the men, but actually great
many women live to a greater old age
than men, hence the greater mortality
figures in the advanced ages.
