MEXICAN BORDER LITTLE
KNOWN

"No region in all North America is
more frequently mentioned or more wide
ly misunderstood, perhaps, than the Mexi-
can border" writes Frederick Simpich,
formerly American consul at Nogales,
Mexico, to the National Geographic So
ciety.
From the Gulf of Mexico up to Ell
Paso, along the Texas frontier, the Rio
Grade forms the boundary between the
United States and Mexico; thence to the
Pacific coast the line is marked by stone
or iron monuments (save a short break at
the Colorado), so set that one is supposed
to be visible from another. By this plan
soldier, miner or cowman Eyes, and
smuggler too) can always tell which side
of the line he is on; or, if wholly lost and
he comes suddenly on monument, he can
soon get oriented.

MYSTERY OF A PRAYING TREE

The mystery of the famous praying tree
of Faridpur has been explained by Sir J..
c. Bose, noted English scientist. Hindu
worshipers claim that this tree prostrates
itself in the evening while the temple bells
ring calling the people to prayer, and it
erects its head in the morning. This pro-
cess is repeated every day, to the bewilder-
ment of thousands of Hindus, who natur-
ally came to look upon it as the abode of
some "devata" (god). Hundreds offered
pujahs to the unknown "devata," which
all went to fill the pockets of the owner
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1921-04-21

of the tree. Miraculous cures were re-
ported as result of pujah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted the
attention of Sir Bose, who, after much
difficulty, obtained permission of the
owner of the tree to investigate the matter.
He devised special instruments-all of
swadeshi manufacture-and began to take
records. He found that the palm tree
fell with the rise of temperature and rose
with its fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsupported
fact that all trees were moving, such
movements being in response to changes
in their environments.
Sir Bose holds the opinion that the
whole of the vegetable world, including
the rigid trees, perceive the changes in
their environment and respond to them
by unmistakable signals. They thrill un-
der light and become depressed by dark
ness; the warmth of summer and frost of
winter, drought and rain, these and many
other happenings leave subtle impress
sion on the life of the plant.-Ex.

NINE. H1RooKA

Only two japanese women have sue
ceeded conspicuously in the financial
world. They are Nine. Suzuki, the head
of "a large banking establishment and
Mime. Asa Hirooka, who, according to a
contributor to Eveybody's Magazine, not
only has saved her family from bank
ruptcy but has made several fortunes.
The Hirooka family, whose son she mar
ried, belong to merchant class that made
great fortunes loaning money to the mobiles.
When revolution and panic ruined their
business, her family decided to try some
other occupation and experimental with
indigo, japanese paper, oil, and rice; but
they failed in everything.
Nine. Hirooka then decided to take a
hand. She was the only member of her
family who knew how to calculate, and
when the government arranged to convert
the mobiles notes into bonds she had been
called into the conference. Also, she had
read English books on banking. When
the Bank OF Japan was Instituted, she
made large amount of money by buying
and selling its bonds.
Still not satisfied, she thought that. she
would like to own a coal mine. So, &C
companied by two quaint and rather
frightened attendants, she appeared one
day in Moi, in the mountains of Kyushu,
clad in boomers, with pistol in her belt.
AT Moi there was no house; so the young
fnancier lived in a hut She was very
short of capital, and it required all her
courage to keep the first mine going. But
she prospered, and as time went on she
was able to buy more mines, until in 1890
she sold her coal interests and invested
her fortune in banking business, in in
surance, in fruit culture, and in mines in
Korea. When she was sixty-one years
old she gave up her belief in Buddhism
and became an active Christian.-Ex.
