New Plant for America.

Among the many new plants which
are being propagated in this country
is the Chinese juiube 'ZiZiphus juju-
ba,' which is an alkali and drouth-re-
sisting fruit tree which heretofore has
been grown almost exclusively in
China. Now. however, it is being
planted in California and the semi-arid
South and Southwest and big crops
are being secured.
The fruit of the better varieties is
about the size of large prune and
is reddish or mahogany brown in color
when ripe. 1t can, of course, be eaten
when fresh, but is usually used for
the familiar "iujubes" combined with
cane sugar or honey.
Another emigrant from the far east
among trees is the Tung Oil tree, from
which drying oils are now secured for
the paint manufacturers. 1t was, it
may be added, the war which inadver-
tently brought about a demand for a
new drying oil that led to the bringing
to this country of young Tung oil trees
from China. So far they seem TO be
Furnishing but they will not be count
ed as American trees for some time
yet.

Chicago First Negro City.

Chicago is the first negro city in
America. Estimates by negro leaders
set the negro population of Chicago at
$4,000. Two years ago the number
was $4,000. Demand for labor, high
wages and the awakening of the negro
through travels induced by the war are
given as causes for the tremendous
influx. Negro labor is employed large
ly by the packing houses. 1t is organ

whites out of some territory, so that
it is now impossible to define the
"black belt" Negro living conditions
have improved with growth. Over 800
negro business men have their own
places. Thousands own their homes
and old squald quarters have been re-
placed by clean. well-lighted streets

Grant. originally Hiram Grant, who
lived on Sixty-siXth street, near Fifth

handsome home of any of the former
presidents. 1t is not merely a house,

the Louisville Courier-Journal. His
early death was prophesied by the
easy-going slug of fellow who took
his exercise with his right elbow and
his recreation at bar and caravansary.
Whenever an athlete died his mus
cular development was set down as
the cause of his untimely end.
1t has been made plain by the war
that the athletic youth is the prefer
able youth TO fight the enemy. IL
never was proved that he was less
able than others to fight life's battles
in the fgurative sense of the phrase,
or that he died sooner than the round
paunched, soft-armed, fabby-legged
man.
In the army and in the navy athlet-

as being worth more than the time

The original Gotham was an old

reputed to have shown their wisdom
by playing the fool in order to dis
suade King John from passing through
