Trees Of sorrow

The Persian "Trees of Sorrow" are
so called because they bloom only at
night. When the first star appears in
the sky the first flower opens and as
the evening advances more and more
buds burst into bloom until the lovely
tree appears be one vast flower. It
has a delicate fragrance not unlike
the scent Of the evening primrose. As
the dawn approaches the flowers begin
to fade until by sunrise not bloom is
TO be seen.

A miniature race riot occurred at

one of them. The outbreaks resulted
from fights between white and negro
school children.

The famous "tapa" cloth of Poly.
nesia is made from the inner bark OF
the paper mulberry. When of the fin.
est quality it is bIeached to snowy
whiteness and fine as muslin. In trop-
zeal Africa the inner bark of a legu-
minous tree is utilized in the same
way. Indeed, it is surprising to learn
how widely tree barks are employed as
material for clothing the world over.
And in the West Indies grows the
"lace-bark tree" which yields a deli
cate tissue so like lace that many arti-
cfes of feminine adornment are made
from it.

Madness of the Moon.

So far as we can gather, there is no
foundation for the old belief that the
moon affects the mind and brings about
madness in some people. The Idea may
have originated from the word 'Iun-
attic" which is derived from luna" the
moon.

Art of Chinese Gardeners

Chinese gardeners sometimes plant
statuettes of tiny men firmly in posts,
just like real plants, and then train
live evergreens to grow up over these
statuettes The vines thus form a
kind of robe for the statuette men,
their white faces and hands protrud.

FRANCO Alone stope Racine.

OF the great nations participating in
the great war, France alone felt the
necessity Of stopping horse racing.
Threatened with utter destruction in II
food OF TeutOnic barbarism/ France
had to send to the fighting lines on The
Marine, the SoInme, the Aisne about,
Verdun, in the Vosges, every male
trenchman capable of bearing arms.
Back of tho fighting lines she had to
mobilize the elderly men with the
women and children for the imperative
work OF making munitions. Upon
France alone fell the burden of resist
ing the German tide for upward of two
years. Throughout the course Of the
war speed tests were held at the great
French tracks, but not as public spec
tacles. Butthere was no letting down
of the bars as regards the expectation
from France Of thoroughbred blood
any time during the war. AS Special
consideration citizens OF lie United
States, q country from which the
French, from the ye.y beginning Of the
war, were drawing enormous quaint
ties of military material, who had thor
oughDred studs in France, such men as
John Sanford, of Amsterdam, Major
August Belmont, Joseph L. Widener
and Thomas 2. Th0rne, were permit,
ted, when transportation was aVaila-
bic, to ship TO the United States linz
tied number of thoroughbred yearIings. |
NO matured thoroughbred stations or
males were allowed to leave the coun-
try, whether their owners were French
men or OUtlanders.
With The signing of the armistice
France and England resumed racing
with Characteristic enthusiasm. The
at the race tracks about
Paris has been greater this season
than in any for the period of half a
dozen years preceding the outbreak of
the great war. The crowds that wifi
messed The running of the Derby, the
Oaks, the Ascot Gold Cup, the Leger,
etc, in Great Britain, were greater by
the thousands than the greatest Of
ante-bellum race track gatherings.
