OLD TREE STILL PRODUCTIVE
Planted by Governor Endicott Nearly
Three Centuries Ago, II Bears
Yearly Crop of Fine Fruit.

Thought to be the oldest fruit tree
in this country, the pear tree planted
$50 years ago by Governor Endicott of
Massachusetts is still thriving well and
bearing a yearly crop of fruit of the
first quality. John Endicott purchased
a large tract of land at DanversDort,
then known as the southern sec Of
Salem village. The estate aft, I'd
became known as the Endicott plan
tation. Governor Endicott, being a
great lover of sugar pears, sent to a
relative in Dorchester. England, for a
pear tree. After several months the
tree arrived, ana at that time few peo-
live, as the roots had become very dry.
The governor, believing that he, bet
ter than anyone else, was the proper
mar to plant the tree, journeyed to the
plantation and there, in a sheltered
spot close to the Danvers river, dug
a hole and carefully planted 1t. For
many years he cared for 1t himself,
and 1t was not long before 1t became
the most famous of all fruit trees of
Massachusetts. This year 1t is esti-
mated that there were close to 5000
pears on the tree. Few people who
visited Danvers missed the opportunity
Of seeing this wonderful tree, which
was carefully guarded by a picket
fence. The tree is made up of three
distinct trunks, which are partially de-
cayed. although the uDDer section Of
the tree is quite healthy In appearance.
Endicott himself used to relate that
the tree supplied a sufficient number
of pears to supply the entire Salem
village, which in those days numbered
less than n hundred Inhabitants.
When Governor Endicott died In the
year 1865 special mention was made
In his will in regard to the famous tree,
which was left in care of his daughter.

COAL SHORTAGE REACHES
ACUTE STAGE AT McGILL

The following story, vouched foi
by Austin Jackson of the Nevada
Press Company, who was in Tonopah
last Monday, is not altogether out OF
reason, when one considers how
scarce coal has been in Nevada
lately:
That the coal situation, which has
been causing so much worry oyer all
the Western country of late. has some
amusing features, was evidenced by
a little incident recently at McGill,
where Nevada's great copper plant is
located. As in every other town, the
scarcity of coal is the leading topic
of conversation throughout the Ely
district, and when the lack OF fuel
had caused the Nevada Northern Isil-
road to almost entirely suspend its
heretofore excellent suburban sched-
ule from Ely and the mines and smell
ter, it can readily be seen that the
situation is indeed serious.
The little incident above referred
to occurred several days ago in the
SIleiltI Cll1s WhOh OhC VI hhS w.
wags entered the Copper Club saloon
the only thirst emporium in the
camp and walked up to the bar,
where several other persons were
standing, and invited them to have
something" The invitation a
promptly accepted. and when the
drinks were served the wag put his
hand in his picket and pulled out a
piece of coal about the size of a wal
nut and placed it on the bar.
he bartender-who, by the way. was
sodf@ sport-took up the piece of coal
and, after examining it carefully, to
see that it was the genuine article,
turned around to the cash register,
rang up sixty-five cents and handed
the wag thirty-ive cents in change.
Some one present in the saloon at
the time remarked that the bartender
had undoubtedly tended bar in Gold
field during the days when high
grading was at its zenith.

GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
Nippur Tablet, Recently Discovered
and Translated, Has Brought Joy
to Psychologists.

A Sumerian epic hat tells the story
of the reconstruction of civilization af-
ter the deluge has been discovered on
one of the famous Nippur tablets in
the University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum. Announcement of the discov-
cry and the completion of the trans
lation of the epic has just been made
by DR.. Stephen III. Langdon, Sumeri-
an scholar and assistant curator of
the museum. The epic, according to
Doctor Langdon, takes up the history
of civilization after Paradise, the fan
of man and the flood, and Is a sequel
to the Sumerian epic which he trans
lated a year ago. The fragment which
contains the latest history is four and
one-half inches long and one inch
thick. It contains about 300 lines Of
inscriptions. II dates from about
225O b. g., and hence represents a lit
erature older than that of the Baby
lonians and the Chaldeans. "The boat
or ark is mentioned" Doctor Lang
don announces, 'as we'll as Lahama,
the god of the deluge. 1t describes the
regeneration of the ancient land OF
Sumeria at the hands of the god or
wisdom, who decreed that 1t should
be the center Of civilization"
