lnless someone having royal blood in
his veins pays homage to it. 1t is even
lold that when the young prince of
Wales. in November. 1919, was in
Washington and paid visit to the ST.
Albans cathedral site, the Glastonbury
thorn put out a blossom which was
placed in silver box and presented to
him. in accordance with the ancient
custom.
The modern world is skeptical and ii
does not believe that there is anything
peculiarly holy in royal personage
So if the Glastonbury thorn blossoms
out of its regular season it is because
it has been encouraged to do 50 by
well-kn0wn horticultural methods; and
there is no miracle about 1t beyond the
great miracle that is always being per-
formed in the blossomIng of any

FAMOUS PLANT AT CAPITAL
Glastonbury Thorn, in the Grounds Of
the Episcopal Cathedral, Object
Of vcncration to Many.

In the grounds Of the Episcopal en-
thedrai OF ST. Albums. which is being
built on commanding heights overlook
ing Americas capital city of Washing
ton. there is a curious plant known as
the Glastonbury thorn or Christ thorn
This plant has :; rare history, for the
tradition, as told by a writer in the
Pathfinder, is that it was this kind of
thorn from which the crown was
made when Christ was crucified. Il
belongs to Il very large botanical fam
lily. namely. the euphorbia-of which
there are upwards of three thousand
known species. They usually yield a
milky Juice when cut or bruised. In
some cases this juice is poisonous.
Some Of the wild tribes of Africa have
used it TO poison the tips of their ar
rows.
The name Glastonbury comes from
old Glastonbury abbey. near Bath.
England II was to Glastonbury. ac-
cording to the legend. that Joseph of
Arimathea came as a missionary to
found the first Christian church in
England, and il was there that he
brought the holy grail, or golden cup
used by Christ at the last supper.
1t is related that Joseph on reaching
Glastonbury thrust his stick into the
ground. This stick was from the
Christ thorn and he had brought II
from the Holy land as sacred me-
mento 1t took root and since then
sprouts from it have been taken to
many different countries. A fanatic
during religious troubles cut down the
original thorn at Glastonbury, but it
sprang up again afterward and visi-
tors to Glastonbury ruins can see it.
The old story is that Glastonbury
thorn blossoms mirac,ilously at Christ

Timely Hints On
Fire Prevention

The Fourth of July brings added
danger of forest fires on account of
increased numbers of campers as
we'll as fireworks. The forests of
the west represent millions of dol
lars in timber, the value of which
is increased ten fold by manufac-
ture into lumber.
The Pueblo flood, disastrous as
it was. would have been far worse
but for the protection afforded by
adjacent forested areas.
For the protection of our own
national resources and beauty we
reprint here the six rules of fire
prevention of the U. S. forest ser
vice
Snap your match in two Be
sure it is out before you throw il
away.
Throw pipe ashes and cigar OF
cigarette butts in the dust of the
road and stamp out the fire before
leaving them. Don't throw them
into leaves, brush or needles.
Build small camp fire in the
open; not against tree or log OF
near brush Scrape away needles
and brush from around the fire.
Never leave camp withoutquench-
ing your fire with water and then
covering it with earth. Be sure it
is out.
Never bnild bonfres in windy
weather or where there is the
slightest danger of their escaping
from control. Don't make them
larger than you need.
Ii you find a fire, try to put it
out. If You can't, get to tele-
phone or telegraph and notify the
nearest U. S. forest ranger or state
fire warden at once. Keep in touch
with the rangers of the forest you
are visiting.
