USED FORTUNE FOR
 DOOR WEIGHT

CADILLAC, Mich, Jan. 25 (by As sociated Press) Nelson Nolf, living near Cadillac, brought several pounds of stones with him when he returned from northern Russia, where he served with the American military force. Recently the stones were found to be almost pure platinum and experts say Nof will receive about $18,000 for them.
 Nolf used the stones for door weights. Each time door banged against one of them, several dollars worth of platinum was knocked off.
 The ore was found by soldiers from Northern Michigan on the Dvina river, about 35 miles from Archangel.

FAMOUS TREES
 GIVEN PLACE
 HALL OF FAME

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (by Asset ated Press). -' In celebration of the birthday anniversary of Daniel Web ster the tree, on which he as a youth hung his scythe upon deciding to go to Dartmouth college, has been given place in the Hall of Fame for trees with history. The nomination of the tree was made by Frank N. Hancock of Franklin, N. H., which, then known as Salisbury was the birthplace of Webster on Jan. IS, 17S2. MT. Han. cock has lived near the tree for sixty years.
 The path from that tree led Web ster to congress and to the office of the secretary of state. Webster never reached the presidency but he twice refused nomination for vice-presi- dency and in both cases the head of the ticket on which he would have been elected died in office.
 Another nomination of a tree for the Hall of Fame announced by the American Forestry Association Is the Wesley Oak on the Island of St. Simon off the coast of Georgia. This tree was nominated by James R. Joy, of tian Advocate. John Wesley and his brother Charles arrived in America on Feb. 5, 1736. Charles Wesley served as secretary to Gov Oglethorpe and went to the island to help lay out the town of Frederick. As there was no meeting place both Charles and John Wesley preached their first ser mons on the continent beneath the Wesley Oak which is still standing.
 A great grandson of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the first president, in 1754, of Kongs college, now Columbia uni. versity in New York City, once owned the land between Stratford and Bridgeport, Conn.,, on which stands an oak nominated for 8 place in the Hall of Fame by Miss Helen Harrison of Bound Brook, N, J., According to experts this tree is 500 years old.
 One hundred and fifteen years ago the Lewis and Clark expedition camped beneath the Council Oak at Sioux City, la, and held council with the Indians. This bur oak is nominated for a place in the Hall of Fame for trees by Mrs. Susie Brown of Marion, Ia., whose data sent to the American Forestry Association shows the tree was 15O years old when Lewis and Clark pitched camp beneath its shade.
 Soil from every state in the union and from each of the allied countries has been placed about the roots of maple tree planted by the Daughters of the American Revolution at Arka- delhphia, Ark, as a memorial to the men who answered their countrys call in the World war. The tree is nominated for place in the Hall of Fame by Mrs. Thomas Sloan, histor- ian of the Philadelphia chapter of the D. A. R.
 Nominations for places In the Hall of Fame for trees are made to the American Forestry Association accom- panied with photographs and histori- cal data. More than 300 trees were filed with the association up to the close of 1920.

FLOWER TURNS
NIGHT INTO DAY

One Of the strangest flowers. and
one that is not often seen, because it
only blossoms after night has fallen,
and then withers before dawn comes.
is the cereus. Except at the time 1t
blooms, this plant, which is one Of
the few that turn night into day, is
not at all attractive in appearance.
What you see is nothing more than
a leafiess. distorted tangle Of dis col
ored and repellant vegetable fibres.
But when this unpromising mass
OF roots does break into blossom. It
throws out flowers as beautiful as
they are deliciously scented. The
bud begins to unfold little after
dusk, and in an hour or two it has
grown to a large flower several feet
in circumference. which at midnight
Is brown and orange and white, and
fills the air with a heavy tropical
scent like a compound Of fresh
frangipanni. roses. and tiger lilies
An hour or so before dawn the
flowers begin to fade. and before
breakfast the plant is again an ap-
parently withered heap.

PACK OF CARDS"
WILL, OLDEST ONE

One OF the oldest wills on record
was that where a wealthy womaei
made her WIN after the following
fashion.
She took two packs OF cards. on
one she marked the names OF the
friends and relatives she wished TO
remember. on the other she wrote
different articles OF value she had TO
leave. She called In her attorney
and giving him one pack Of cards
told him 20 start playing with them.
The attorney threw down a card and
she threw down one from the other
pack. This went on until every per-
son was remembered and the will
was drawn up so that the person
remembered secured the gift that
was taken with the card on which
his name had been written.
