In Old Castle, rich in the romance
and legends of Sunny Spain, Burgess
the capital of the ancient kingdom,
has lost none of it's picturesque charm
in the centuries since the days when
Ell Cid drew his sword in rebellion
against the Moors. Burgos, partially
depopulated, but still clinging to its
traditions as all good Spanish cities
will, glories chiefly in the aura of the
mighty Cid and in the possession Oh
the historic Gothic cathedral, liyeliest

The ancient cathedral, founded in

GlNKGO TREE Is FROM JAPAN
REGARDED by Park Commissioners Ev-
erywhere as One of the Most Sat
sfactory 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
the park commissioners standbys.
Washington, District of Columbia, has
adopted it as it's official street tree
whatever that means. Because it Is
so hardy under city conditions-that
explains it's popularity, in part. 1t is
also large and tall tree, peerless for
shade.
It's 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 pic
ture." Ginkgo, gingko, jinkgo, ginko
jinka-are a few occidental variations
of the puzzle. Many tactful persons
have adopted "Maidenhair Tree" as 8
way Quits lOng-petioled leaves are
quite, the shape of the sO-calleo
maidenhair fern of American woods
Although classified botanically among
the "evergreens" or "cOnifers," it is
deciduous, and it's cone is not a cone
at ALL but fruity covered seed.

,cha.eur Bays "Fire Ship"

According to Investigations Of Pro-
fessor Ganong, the traditional fire
ship" of Chaleur bay, New Brunswick,
appearing usually before storm, has
basis of fact. 1t is hemisphericai
light, with the fat side toward the
water, glowing sometimes without
much change Of form, but at other
times rising into slender, moving col
umns, in which an excited Imagination
might recognize the flaming rigging OF
a ship.
The general explanation offered is
that this object is manifestation OF
st. Elmo's fire, an electrical phe-
nomenon, but the reason for its ap-
pearance only on or near Chaleur bay
is not known.

WHAT VOLCANOES THROW UP
Water, Dust, Mud, Pumice, Glass and
Granite Among Products of the
Plumbers.

A yoicano-let us say Strombol1,
which very. frequently makes a lot of
trouble-ejects materials of various
kinds.
One of these is water. 1t is the
last thing we should expect 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 di-
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 pum-
ice, which is so porous, and therefore
So light III weight, IlIttI II VIII AouI ohi
water. Another is obsidan, 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
as the sedimentary rocks-sandstones
| limestoneS and shales-are sufficiently
porous to allow water to pcrcolatc
| through them. 1t is these sedimentary
rocks that contain the so-called
pools of petroleum, usually with wa
ter underlying the oil.

Ored appropriately, favored and deco

Creamy candies, such as cream
candy, fudge, fondant and the like,
should never have trace Of grain,
or crystals, however small.
Cream candies are kept from grain
ing by the addition of cream of tartar
or few tablespoonfuls of white corn
sirup. Rapid boiling and splashing of
the strip upon the sides Of the ket-
tie will cause grains. If this occurs,
wash down the sides of the kettle with
a skewer wrapped with a cloth and

Successful fondant is never made on
damp day. Choose a clear, bright
day, and carefully follow directions
and you will have candy as good as a

this kind of candy is that it may be

that the board had shown favoritism
toward certain New York banking
institutions.

sat in the committee room through

will be given an opportunity to de-
fend the boards policies today. Mr.
Williams appeared as witness for
the Farmers National Union.
