GIANT TREES OF AUSTRALIA
Exceed in Height, Though Not in Cir
conference, the Famous Grand
Conifers of California.

In the book, "Under the Southern
Cross" written by Maturin M. Ballou,
an American traveller, in the sos of
the last century, we read of his esti-
mate of the great trees of Australia,
according to the Christian Science
Monitor.
at is in this colony Of Australia that
the traveller finds the giant trees, con-
sidered to be one of the great won
ders of our times, and which exceed
in dimensions those grand conifers of
California in which Americans feel
such pride. These big trees Of Victoria
are called the mountain ash, though
why so named we do not understand,
as they are not of that family. But
they are certainly the tallest trees in
the known world, often measuring 400
feet and more in height, and from
fifty to sixty feet in girth a couple of
yards from the ground. When we say
that these trees exceed in dimensions
those of California we refer especial
ly to their height inasmuch as the
American trees equal them, If they
do not in some Instances surpass them
in circumference. The Australian
trees rise a hundred feet more or less
from the roots without putting forth a
lateral branch. On beholding them
one is not at first impressed by their
exceptional size or monarchlike APP
pearance, but they grow upon one by
further observation. A trip of hum
dred miles from Melbourne due east to
Sale-a remarkably pleasant town, Of
between 1900 and 1000 inhabitants,
situated on the Gippsland railroad
takes one to the region where these
immense forest giants are to be seen,
and at the same time introduces the
traveller to some of the finest scenery
in the mountain range Of this district"

CHAPTER vlil-continued.

AT first he had expected some trick,
being a person of tortuous brain; put
as time went on, and nothing unex-
pected happened, he became assured.
His orders were to follow the nil
lionaire, and inform headquarters
where he was taken to. And assured
ly at the moment it seemed easy mon
ey. Then, quite suddenly, the hum
ming stopped and he frowned. The
car in front had swung or the road,
and turned through the entrance of a
small airdrome. What the devil was
he to do now? Most assuredly he
could not pursue an airplane on mo-
thinking, he did the first thing that
came into his head de left his car
standing where it was, and followed
the others into the airdrome on foot.
Perhaps he could find out something
from one of the mechanics; someone
might be able to tell him where the
plane was going.
There she was with the car beside
her, and already the millionaire was
being strapped into his seat. Drum
mond was talking to the pilot, and
the sleuth, full of eagerness, accosted
passing mechanic.
Can you tell me where that air
plane is going to-" he asked ingrati-
atingly.
1t was perhaps unfortunate that the
said mechanic had just had a large
spanner dropped on his toe, and his
answer was not helpful. 1t was an
er time the'pursuer would have treat
ed it with the respect it deserved.

Cancer on Scar Of a Burn.

At recent meeting of the Royal
Society of Medicine in London, DR..
w. G. Spencer showed a case of skin
cancer on the site of the scar of an
X-ray burn. The woman had had a
hairy mole on her left temple de-
stroyed by monthly exposures to X
rays for two years. The scar had re.
NAMED sound for eight years, but
three months ago an epithelioma had
appeared and had infilterated the eye
lids. Doctor Spencer condemned a
treatment which left burnlike scar
in a case which could just as easily
have been treated by the knife.

the reason for this preference, and the
