TREES IN BOOKS.

Probably the Most Curious Collection
of Volumes In the World.
There is perhaps one of the most
curious collections Of books In the
world to be found in a small town on
the continent of Europe, says the Lon
don Tit-Bits. 1t is really botanical
collection. Outwardly each volume pre-
sents the appearance Of a block OF
wood, and that is what it actually Is.
But an examination reveals the fact
that 1t is also a complete history OF
the particular tree which it represents.
At the back of the book the bark
has been removed from space whlcn
allows the scientific and the common
name of the tree to be placed as ute
for the book. One side is formed Irom
the split wood of the tree, showing us
grain and natural fracture. Inc other
side shows the wood when WORKED
smooth and vanished. One end shows
the grain as left by the saw and the
other the finely polished WOOD. on
opening the book it Is found 10 con-
tain the fruit, seeds, leaves ana otner
products of the tree, the moss winch
usually grows upon its trunk ana the
insects which feed upon the dlHerent
parts Of the tree. These are supple
mented by a full description OF tne
tree In fact, everything when nas q
bearing upon that particular tree Sc
cures place in the collection

LOST CITY OF PETRA.
May Have Been the Resting Place OF
the Children of Israel.


the Children of Israel.
Petra, lost city and called by the
few white travellers who have seen it
one of the wonders of the world lies
in the Arabian wilderness. shallow
of it's once princely self.
Almost forgotten, it is believed by
historians and archaeologists to have
been the place where the children OF
Israel fingered for twenty years when
they were on their way from Egypt to
the promised land. Although it is be-
lieved to have contained at one time
population of 100000, it is now one
Of the interesting places OF which ex-
plorers know comparatively little. IL
has no modern history, and, strange as
it may seem, it lay absolutely forgotten
as far as Europe was concerned FOR
fourteen centuries.
In the centuries long passed Petra
was an important trading station for
the caravans that moved between
Persia and Egypt, and India and the
holy land and Syria. 1t is built In
colossal bowl of pink, and its palaces,
temples and tombs are carved out Oh
solid rock. Certainly some OF its cary
ings are 5000 years old. Its walls pre-
serve the history Of architecture, TOT
it's structures date from the days OF
cave men to the magnificent buildings
of Greece and Rome.
Today Petra has about thirty In
habitants. They keep few goats, go
beyond their city into the desert 10
trade with passing caravans and, alto
gether, lead a miserable life. Ihey
have made trouble for many travellers
who attempted to visit them, Tor
legend survives that Pharaoh OF
Egypt hid his country's treasures In
the KaZneh. the beautiful building
which is today known as Pharaohs
treasure house.
For many years they tried toskeep
white travellers from entering the city,
because when the treasure was found
they said it belonged to them. But 10
day they welcome visitors. Normally
the city of Petra is personal posses
sion of the sultan of Turkey. and 1T Is
theoretically against the law to re-
move anything without his permission.
But there is nobody to stand watch
and guard the historic treasures. every
traveller helps himself, and the natives
assist him in his search. hoping to de-
rive a few cents for their labor

WASHING THE EYES.
Also How to Shut Them to Keep Out
Soapy Water.

Also Row TO Snur mem to Keep Out
Soapy Water.
1t is a common thing to screw ones
eyes up as tightly as possible when
washing, in order that the soap shall
not get into ones eyes. Many of ua
remember, especially when children are
concerned, how much a strong soap
Bmarts when the suds steal under the
eyelids.
We should never get soap in our eyes
if we closed them naturally, as in sleep.
The eyelid is an absolute protection.
Certainly no sOapsuds can penetrate
the membrane, and equally certainly
the way in which the eyelashes cover
the actual joint make it impervious.
The eye, when closed in sleep, is light
proof, a much greater test of being
shut than the ability to shed soapy
water.
On the other hand, when we screw
up u eyes tightly, which is done by
contracting the muscles of the eyebrow
and the upper cheek, a number of
creases are formed down which the
soapsuds trickle, and the eye. which
seems so tightly shut, is really more
open to annoyance. The more tightly
the eye is held, however, the more does
the lower lid force up the protecting
eyelashes of the upper lid and thus
prevent the watershed hat the natu-
rally closed eye makes.
In modern city life, where there is so
much dust, the eye should be washed
every day. The trick of opening ones
eyes under water, which every good
swimmer knows, a be easily done in
an eyeglass, or, for hat matter, in an
ordinary basin. To put the face down
in clear cold water and open and shut
the eyes once or twice not only will
give a feeling of freshness, but for
those who use their eyes a great deal
it will be found a great p%reventer of
eye strain.
In washing out the eye, however, 1t
is necessary to be careful. Soapy wa
ter should never be used, as in most
soaps there are chemicals Of a drying
and alkaline character, which are ex-
cessively injurious to the eye.-Wash-
ington Post.

St.PatriCk's Church
Frs of It's Name In America Was
Predecessor Of Cathedral.

Old st. Patrick's in New York was
the first church in America to receive
the name of the Irish saint. Its cor
nerStone was laid in 1909. on June 8,
and The completion of the building was
delayed by the war of 1872. The cen
tennial of the laying of the cornerstone
was celebrated about seven years ago.
The church was dedicated ON May 4,
1915, though the steeple and sacristy
had not been built. Up to that time
the cathedral had cost 100000. The
drst diocesan synod was held in the
church on Aug. 2S, 1912. when Bishop
John Hughes was the head of the do
cese. 1t was at this time that religious
intolerance WAS at its height in Ameri-
ca, and at one time the members of
the parish were called on to arm them
selves and stand in the ~churchyard to
defend their cathedral, which they did,
preventing IN attack by IL mol which
had gathered.
The diocese of New York was ele-
rated to. an archdiocese in 1850 by
Pope Plus IN. and about six months
later Bishop Hughes was made an
archbishop. the investiture taking place
In st. Patrick's before a notable as
semblage of prelates.
1t was Archbishop Hughes who be-
gan making the plans for a ewe and
greater cathedral for New York. out
of which grew the present edifice in

men, if asked what the ma
tional flag of Ireland is, would
reply without hesitation, 1.-THE
harp without the crown" meaning the
golden Celtic harp on a green ground
which is flown generally by Irishmen,
wrote the Rev. 2. Yorke in the San
Francisco Leader. But as flags go it
is comparatively new.
1t first made its appearance in 1898,
when it was adopted by the United
1rishmen, and it is said that they
chose green because it is a blend of
orange and blue, to typify the union
of north and south.
In point of antiquity the real Irish
flag is the spear and serpent" which
appears in the arms Of the G'Sulli-
van 1t is said to commemorate the
incident of Goadhal Glas, the ancestor
of Milesius, who, tradition says, was
cured of a snake bite by the rod of
Moses. Next to that comes the flag of
Fionn MacCumhailPs militia, the gold
en- sunset ON a blue ground, and the
weight of opinion seems to favor this
as the true national flag. Blue, in
ueeu, was always lIeldHu udlloudl
color until 1898.
One of the most popular Irish flags is
the three golden crowns on a blue
ground, which figures now in the arms
of the province of Munster. This was
accepted after the Norman invasion of
ITO as the flag of Ireland, the three
crowns typifying the Kingdoms of Des-
mond, Ormond and Thomond. 1t was
retained until 1547, when Henry VIII.
abolished it and substituted the harp.
Coming down to more recent times.
we find that Grattan's parliament had
a flag with a golde" harp on a blue
ground.
A new flag vas evolved at the time
of the union, apparently for the pur-
pose of Incorporating it in what is
now known as the union jack, but it
does not seem to have caught the
popular fancy any more than the act
of union. This was the red satire on
a white ground, which was christened
est. Patrick's cross" Apparently it
was gifted" from the arms of Trinity
college, Dublin, though how Dublin
came by it is equally a mystery.
The tricolor of green, white and or
ange, "the orange and the green, with
the stripe of peace between" is the
recognized flag of the Irish National
tsts.
