WOOL IS SECURED
 FROM KAPOK TREE
(New York World)

tNeW Ofk WOrl0J
 For a century of centuries We have been robbing the bleating sheep of their coat of wool and silk worms of their home of silk, animal products both, but now we can raise crops of each of these valuable fibers. just as we grow flax and cotton. There is vegetable wool and a vegetable silk now, the one almost as good as that we shear from the protesting baa-baa and the other quite like what we un- wind from about the body of the pa tient denizen of the mulberry tree after we have scalded it to death in boiling water.
 "Kapok." from Ecuador, is the vege- table wool. and flor de seda," or silk flower from similar tracts of coun- try, is the vegetable silk.
 Kapok, known in Ecuador as lana de ceiba," is a product of the largest tree that grows in the forests of the litoral, a species of the genus Erioden- | dron which is allied to the cotton plant. | The ceiba bears most of its branches near the top, and the appearance of it's bright-yellow flowers marks the ] approaching end of the rainless season.
