Queer Foods.

The women Of Turkish harems, for
the purpose Of attaining that plump
ness which is an essential Of beauty
from an Oriental point Of view, eat
large quantities Of the "meal worms"
which are the offspring of small bee
tie. OF course, they are appetizingly
prepared.
In Paraguay a large ant, rolled in
strip and baked, is eaten by women
much in the same way as caramels are
eaten in this country. White ants
are q considerable article Of commerce
IN the Levant. Prepared with sugar,
they are sold in the markets of Con-
stantinople and are esteemed for their
aromatic and acid flavors. ....
The Swedes use ants to give a Pc

the famous landscape gardener, who
has made Golden Gate Park, in San
Francisco, one Of the beauty spots OF
the world. His browning achievement
at the Panama-Pacific international
exposition was the stately Avenue OF
Palms which he built by transplanting
palms (soil, roots and ally from gar
dens in many nearby bay cities.
For half a mile, the avenue was Dor
dered by double row Of California
fan palms and Canary island date
palms, ranging in height from Is to 70
feet. They were festooned with vines,
and poisoning nasturtiums and gera-
NUNS and ferns were planted in the in
terstices of the roughened trunks and
looked as if they had been there al
ways. Some Of the palms We're 10
years old, and since the close of the
great fair they have again been trans
planted to permanent locations along
the roadways in the Preside, Uncle
Sans great military reservation.
One of the most remarkable collec-
lions of outdoor palms in California
is to be found in the Gillespie garden
at Santa Barbara. Mr.. Gillespie Is an
enthusiastic collector. He has search
ed the deserts of Africa, the mountains
of Mexico and the islands OF the sea
to add new specimens to his collec-
ton.
Extensive Variety Of Trees.
During a recent visit, I was told
that more than 200 varieties have
been planted in the extensive Persian
garden. One Of the most interesting
trees to an enthusiast is Guadalupe
palm, native Of the island Of Guada-
lupe, some $50. miles south OF San
Diego. In a sheltered corner, I saw
a grand specimen Of the Areca saplda
from far-away New Zealand. Dwarfed
Chamaerops humilis, from the Medl-
terranean region, contrasted strongly
with the stately Chamaerops excelsa,
from China. On the terraced hillside,
I noted the Jubea spectabilis, or Wine
Palm of Chile; the Erythea armata,
commonly called the Blue Palm, a ma
tive Of Lower California; the Sabal
Palmetto, or Cabbage Palm of Florida;
and even the Seaforthia, from Aus
tralia, one of the most elegant Of the
palm family.
But the most striking of all is the
double row of feathery Cocos plumosa,
natives of Southern Brazil, and the
wide-spreading Phoenix canarlensis
that border the impressive roadway

~ NE of the first impressions the
visitor receives when he en-
tiers California is the wide va
riety Of palms to be found ev-
erywhere. You see them in the gar
dens Of rich and poor, along the city
streets and country lanes, in park con-
servatories, In private homes, in the
theaters, the hotel lobbies, the shop
windows. ~
Your interest is aroused and then
you begin asking questions. You soon
get so that you can pick out the most
popular varieties and then you learn
their history and origin, for" palms
from every section of the world grow
in California. ..
From a historical standpoint, the
most unusual palm tree in the state
stands at the foot Of the Preside Hill,
in San Diego. It was planted by
Father Junipero Sierra, who brought
European civilization into California
in 1859, and it is said that the only
time the Seeding bore fruit was in
1869, probably in honor Of it's one
hundredth anniversary.
For years, a group Of these tall
palms stood on this spot, much SCARED
and neglected. In April, 1887, fence
was built to protect them from further
dissertation. Six years later, one of
them was taken up and displayed In
the glass horticultural building of the
Chicago Columbian exposition. 1t did
not live long, however, probably be-
cause it suffered from the long jour-
ney across the continent or missed
the salt breeze it had enjoyed for
century and quarter.
~ Old Landmark Preserved. r.
Several years ago, severe wind,
storm badly damaged another of these
veteran sentinels and it, too, sue
cumbed, leaving but one Of the group
standing. This impressed the authori-
ties with the necessity Of protecting
this old landmark and so it has been
braced and taken care Of, and as a
result it bids fair to live for many
years. ... y
But this reminder of CALIFORNIA;
mission days is not by any means the
Oldest or tallest palm in California. In
Riverside county is Palm Canyon, To-
Gated in the dry, barren hills forming
the eastern slope of Mt. San Jacinto.
There may be found thousands Of ma
tive fan palms, many Of them over a
hundred feet tall, that are estimated
by scientists to have been standing

when Columbus discovered America.

when Columbus discovered America.
DR.. Wildwood Murray visited this
unusual canyon about thirty years ago,
and upon viewing. these wonderful
trees, was at once struck with the pos
sibinties Of using them for ornamental
purposes. He gathered their seeds,
shipped them to seedmen throughout
the country, also to Europe, and today
there are hundreds Of thousands of
these palms.
Visitors used to dig up the young
palms and carry them away to adorn
their gardens, but this was stopped
about fifteen years ago, when this re-
markable canyon and several minor
palm groves Immediately adjacent
were set aside as national reserve.
Visitors to Los Angeles marvel at
the slender, towering palms that are
to be found in private gardens. Some
are still hale and hardy that were
planted shortly after the founding Of
the pueblo in 1871. Many of them
rise to height Of 100 feet and it Is
SURPRISING how they weather the
strong winter winds. without being
snapped in two or blown down, for
their roots are neither deep nor wide
spreading. These palms belong to an
other species, native to Lower Cali
fornia, but those Of lower growth and
far greater girth are true Californians.
Pride Of Los Angeles.
The two oldest trees in Los Angeles
stood near the River station of the
Southern Pacific and when the rail-
road company decided to use the land
for building purposes, they allowed
wideawake real estate dealer to move
the palms to new subdivision near
Santa Monica. The experiment was
watched with great interest. Unfortu-
nately, as they were being raised from
the wagon on which they were being
transported, the tackle parted and the
veterans were broken.
The most notable and successful ex-
ample of moving old palms, however,
was accomplished by John McLaren'

leading to Mr.. Gillespie's italian villa,

Resemble Marching Regiment.
Thousands Of these ornamental
palms are used to advantage on the
Hope ranch, on the outskirts of Santa
Barbara. From an elevation we first
beheld them in great numbers thanking
the winding roadway in the valley be-
low. They reminded me of regiment
Of erect soldiers marching with pre-
cision, two abreast, carrying huge UNI
brellas over their heads to protect
them from the intense heat. And as
we watched them from speeding au-
tomobile, there was the added optical
illusion, owing to the angle from which
we saw them and the regularity with
which they had been planted in double
rows, Of the trees actually moving
with long strides out Of the valley and
disappearing over the rolling hills.
The city Of Fresno boasts a palm
lined avenue that is without doubt one
of the finest in the state, not excepting
the famous Magnolia avenue Of River
side. It was graded, planted and i'm
proved in 1892 by the late Theodore
Kearny at his own expense and decided
to the county. Think Of a smooth dead
level road eleven miles long, 40 feet
wide, bordered on both sides with fan
palms, oleanders, eucalypti and PAM
pas grass! The roadway runs through
beautiful stretches Of vineyards and
fruit trees, and in places, along the
grain fields, are masses of CALIFORNIA;
state flower, the poppy, Of such vivid
golden coloring as to suggest flow Of
fiery lava in sea Of emerald.
