Emperor Charles. They already occupy
positions al various points.
II is known, adds the correspondent of
the Daily Mail, hat their arrival al
ready has caused perturbation among
the Austro- Hungarian commanders who
fear the effect on their Slav troops. Now
that the enemy Sav troops know their
fellow Slavs are fighting under the Ital.
ian banner in complete accord with the
Italians and with a definite program OF
winning absolute independence for their
common country, their whole attitude
toward the war, be adds, may undergo
an important change.

THE EXCLUSIVE TULIP TREE.

Exclusive in appearance, exclusive
in family. and exclusive in choice OF
abode. the stately tulip tree is now
lifting its golden chalices to the sun
a very marvel Of tree perfection.
How little does the average person
understand or regard the rarity and
distinction Of this splendid tree OF our
American woodland. Miscalled pop.
lar b. the careless observer-iurther
distinguished as yellow poplar, by the
lumbe. Jack. here is a tree that Is not
even remotely a poplar at all, but is
ciassed with the magnolias OF our for.
ests by the botaulsts, even while they
admit u is not a true magnolia.
This tulip tree, although classed
with the magn1l.as, is the only genus
OF its kind 10 be found in the world. il
is absolutely exclusive as TO family.
To the student OF forestry it is known
as Lirioten3ron TulipifiTa, a name
combining description and classified.
ton so far as possible Liriodendron
signifies Tyre tree, and is suggested
by the wonderful foliage. Each leaf
outline IS like that OF Tyre. and IS a
curiosity amidst all other tree foliage
because j. is truGkajed at the apex
instead OF pointed, circumstance not
10 be noted elsewhere in any instance
Therefore tie tulip tree is exclusive
as to foliage. The second word in the
botanical term, tglipiiera, means tn.
lip bearers, referring TO the wonderful.
Iy beautiful. tuiip.iiEe blossom, at this
time in .g!I perfection Of bloom.
Tho flower is a splendid, yellow.
t.ased with green, with a glowing
orange splash near each petal center
These blossoms will often measure
two and one half inches across, and
rival the real magnolias in beauty.
Bees are intensely interested in the
tulip tree bloom. and Go a tremend.
Gus honey business while the blossom
lasts.
The tulip tree is the largest tree Of
the forest bearing single large bios.
sons, therefore it emphasizes its ex-
Clusiveaess in this fact.
Majestic in height, inviting and
graceful in habit. the tree is wonder.
lul for home landscapes, and Of spe.
cial timber value 10 the woodsman.
The Fairmont man who supplied the
notes for this article, and who thor.
oughly knows and deeply loves every
living green tree OF the forest speaks
Of seeing a tulip tree in Nicholas coun.
~ which was 100 feet tall. and states
that he was unable to stand on the
ground and reach the top OF a cross
section sawed from the mighty trunk.
In Kanawha county one single tulip
tree not only furnished the lumber for
an entire frame house. but also enough
for its handmade furniture. Other in.
stances are cited Of tulip trees l95 feet
in height with a diameter of 13 feet.
This valuable timber, sold on the
market as yellow poplar is now worth
$1,000 a thousand feet Such a tree
should be guarded and encouraged in
the small patches OF woodland yet left
in our eastern states.
Now remains the chief remarkable
