GiNKGO TREE IS FROM JAPAN
Regarded by Park Commissioners Ev-
eryWhere as One Of the Most Sat
i6factory Shade-Makers.

One of the exports from Japan
which has met universal favor and
unqualified approval in Europe and
America is the Ginkgo tree. You will
see hardly a public park on the CONT
nent or in England without it, and, as
for American cities, "Jinkgo" is one Of
tho park commissioners standbys.
Washington, District of Columbia, has
adopted it as its official street tree"
whatever that means. Because it is
so hardy under city conditions-that
explains its popularity, in part. 1t is
also a large and tall tree, peerless for
shade.
Its name has proved almost impreg-
nable to western tongues. Some one
has said that to get two tree experts
who will agree on the spelling, you
would have to go to Japan-and there
they dodge the issue and draw a pic
ture." Ginkg0. gtngko, jinkgo, ginko,
jinka-are a few occidental variations
of the puzzle Many tactful persons
have adopted "Maidenhair Tree as a
way outfits long-petioled leaves are
quite the shape of the so-called
maidenhair fern of American woods.
Although classified botanically among
the "evergreenS' or "conifers," it IS
deriduous and its cone is not a cone
at all, but a fruity covered seed.

water, Dust, Mud, T,srice, Glass and
Granite Among Products OF $is
Plumbers.

4 v0lcano--let US say Stromboli,
which very frequently makes a lot Of
tro,!bIe-afects materials of various
kinds.
One of these is water. It Is the
last thing we should expect a burning
mountain to produce, but, as a mat
ter Of fact, volcanoes vomit enormous
quantities Of water, formed by the
cooling and consequent condensation
Of gases rising through the vent pipe
Volcanic dust, thrown high into the
air during an eruption, is so finely d.
vided that much Of it will float in the
upper levels Of the atmosphere for
years It's particles seem mostly to be
minute bubbles, hollow inside.
Together with water, volcanoes emit
vast quantities Of mud, which, hard
ening into rock, form what Is called
"tuff'-a friable material which In
parts of our own West covers great
areas to a depth Of thousands Of feet
A familiar volcanic product is pun
ice, which is SO porous, and therefore
so light in weight, that 1t will float on
water. Another is obsidian, or 'vol-
canic glass;" a substance Of the same
chemical composition as pumice, but
extremely hard, being Of high density
Typical of the "eruptive' rocks, rep
resenting material thrown up from the
depths, is granite. Such rocks are
practically impervious to water, where

limestones and shales-are sufficiently
