The HAGUE, Netherlands,
March 1.-THE sinking of the fine
Dutch liner Turbantia, reported
yesterday, has aroused widespread
resentment in the Dutch nation
against Germany, whose submarine
policy is held responsible for the
loss of the steamer and the prob
able loss Of lives.
The Ttirbantia, outward bound
from Amsterdam to the river
Plate, South America, sank of
Northbinder liglitship.
In a vigorous article today the
Naderland calls attention to the fact
that the Turbantia. was sunk stimuli
taneously with the resignation of
Grand Admiral von Tirpitz. and
states that his successor is proving
that he is continuing the submarine
program by sinking the newest and
finest vessel flying the Dutch flag.

COMPLETE HISTORY OF TREES

There is, perhaps, one of the most
curious collections Of books in the
world to be found in small town on
the continent. 1t is really botani-
cal collection. Outwardly each VOL
ume presents the appearance of a
block of wood, and that is what it
actually is; but an examination re-
veals the fact that it is also a com.
plete history of the particular tree
which it represents.
At the back of the book the bark
has been removed from space which
allows the scientific and the common
name Of the tree to be placed as a
title for the book. One side is formed
from the split wood of the tree,
showing its grain and natural frac.
ture; the 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 pol.
ished wood. On opening the book
it is found to contain the fruit, seeds.
leaves and other products of the tree,
the moss which usually grows upon
its trunk and the insects which feed
upon the different parts of the tree.
These are supplemented by a full de.
scription of the tree. In fact, every.
thing which has bearing upon that
particular tree secures place in the
collection.
