GIANT CYPRESS THAT
LIVED BEFORE CHRIST
LOUISIANA TREE AT LEAST
$500 YEARS OLD. RANKS
FIFTH IN WORLD.

The fifth oldest known living thing
on earth, and the third oldest in North
America, is a giant cypress tree i'll
what is known as the Edenborn
Brake, in VIM parish, La, accord
ing to Carleton F. Poole, of the state
conservation department
The age of the tree has been placed
at $500 years by scientists who have
examined it, and, according to rec
ords, it is exceeded in logevity only
by the Santa Maria del Tule cypress,
near Oaxaca, Mexico; the Dragon
tree, at Orotava, Island of Teneriffe /;
the famed Redwood tree, in California
and the Baoab tree, at Senegal,
French West Africa.
Born With Civilization.
The Edenborn cypress was budding
into life when Jerusalem was taken
by Nebuchadnezzar. 1t was lusty
young sprout when the battles OF
Marathon a1d Termopylae wer e
fought, when Asyria was at the apex
of world domain, and when Rome was
a village of mud roads and novels.
The tree was 900 years old when
Christ was born in Bethlehem, vet
eran when the Roman legions were
withdrawn from Britain to let the wild
fight their own battles,
and was more than 1000 years old
when Columbus began his trip west
ward.
The tree was one of a number of
its kind in a tract of pine timber pur-
chased by William Edenborn some
years ago. When logging began he
refused to permit it and three other
almost as large to be felled, although
the giant contains about $4,000 feet
of lumber. Most cypress trees thrive
in swamps, but the Edenborn mon
arch stands in a hollow between hills.

QUEEN OF SPAIN MOST
DEVOUT ROYAL CONSORT
Pope Revives the Old Custom of Con-
ferring the Golden Rose.

ROME.-Pope Plus in May will
revive one of the oldest customs of
the Holy See, which fell into disuse
more than 20 years ago, when he
sends the Golden Rose to the Queen
of Spain.
The Golden Rose, made up Of a
cluster of roses and buds on one stem,
all of solid gold, in time gone by was
given each year by the Pope to the
queen who during the year had per-
formed the most pious deeds for the
church.
Pope to Bless Rose.
Neither Plus X nor Benedict XIV
sent the Golden Rose to any queen.
The last time it was bestowed was
by Leo XIII, who conferred it upon
Queen Amelia of Portugal.
Queen Victoria of Spain, who is the
granddaughter of Queen Victoria OF
England embraced the Catholic faith
upon her marriage to King Alfonso in
1906. A few years after her accession
to the throne Spanish Protestants
won a long fight for the right to es-
tablish chapels throughout the king
dom, and Rome dispatches at that
time CRITICIZED the queen LOT eEertHg
influence in behalf of the Protestants.
In recent years, however, Queen
Victoria has been pointed to as a very
devout Catholic. Her qualities as a
home-loving woman have attracted
particular attention, and it was said
that she took personal charge of the
nursing of her six babies.
The custom of sending the Golden
Rose to the most devout person Sc
1ected by the Vatican dates back to
the eleventh century. Many kings
were recipients of the ornament, which
usually was set with sapphires, but in
the last half century queens or en-
presses generally have been honored
Empress Eugene of France was one
of the last recipients

SEA HOLDS SECRET
IN VAST DEPTHS
ONLY MUTE IDOLS REMAIN
OF VANISHED PACIFIC EN-
PRE-. WORK BEGUN.

An immense continent with millions
of inhabitants, great unknown civili-
cation and religion, brilliant empire
Of the past: all destroyed by fire or
flood and sunken into the ocean-such
is the tale that has come from Easter
Island with the exploration trip made
bv Professor Macmillan Brown and
Frank Burnett, noted explorers and
scientists.
Easter Island is located in the South
Pacific, a mere volcanic speck, 1900
miles off the coast of Chile, South
America and $500 miles from the
nearest inhabited country. 1t is now
deserted. and its soft stone cliffs rise
into the air, with relics of the past
still clinging to them.
Stone Idols Galore.
Great stone idols, from to 65 feet
high. stand on the side of the hills
which face the open sea, and here and
there are enormous platforms ~ to 81
feet wide and hundreds OF feet long.
No cement has been used in their con-
struction, and yet every stone is per-
fectlv fitted and joined to its neghbor.
A few stone slabs, bearing inscrip-
tons in a language which can be
translated but which cannot be traced,
have been found These tablets indi-
cate that the lost empire had gov
eminent, business and a religion. Few
implements are found, however. Hun
dreds of only half finished statues are
found in all parts OF the island.
May Join Mainland.
Easter Island may join the main
land of South America scores OF feet
under the seas surface, the two scient-
lists believe. A comparison OF relics
found on the mainland and those
found on Easter Island shows that
they are virtually the same. Both
mainland and island show traces OF
language, government and religion
now unknown.
"The island and the mainland which
now is covered by the Pacific consti-
tuted probably the richest empire in
the world at one time" Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Burnett announced when they
returned from their trip. The whole
nation, people and cities, was wiped
out by a gigantic upheaval OF the
earth, which buried all but the little
peak now known as Easter Island in
the South Pacific.
Whatever befel1 the empire came
abruptly, for a number of half COM
pleted statues were LETT in the rock
face out of which they were being
carved. Many of them may still be
seen in an unfinished state. The de-
sign is invariably that of a human
body down to the waist with the arms
held close to the body"

Chicken hunting was quite tanta-
lizlng to hear some of the hunters
tell their experiences this morning.
One party from the state house
purchased a hotel skillet for SO
expecting a great days haut and a
big feed.
After fighting field mice all night
in haystack they only got three
small birds which looked liked a speck
in the big pan.
Another crowd camped all night
only to be walked up toward morning
by the presence of three lizards in
their bed which so Jared their nerves
that they missed some of the best
shots of the day.
One mighty hunter started,to aim
at one chicken which haa been
wounded h'--"e r 49, -
"Don't shoot Joe until hel stops
running" called his companion. II
don't intend to, am waiting for
him to stop" He finally fe!led the
chicken with the butt of his gun.
The day was not opportune for
chicken hunting although some par;
ties got as. many as twenty - thirty
birds, but they were wild acd the
day too cold. and dismal for effective
hunting.

HUNTERS REPORT POOR SPORT
UPON FIRST DAY OF SEASON: .
TELL NARROWING EXPERIENCES

Some amateurs or "first year.
huntsmen became so excited when
the first flock took to wing that
they shot at the ground and spoiled
the day for the old timers.
Duck hunters. however were not
so unfortunate, some parties report
ing that they got the limit so soon that
they had to start in on chickens
against their will, and before the day
was warm enough to effectively hunt
them. Many parties to Long Lake and
that vicinity say that they shot many
birds which they were unables to get
because of the depth of the water in
the lakes and sloughs.
Local hardware stores report that
the first day of the season left them
practically without guns on their
shelves.
Many women are taking up hunting
this year according to the county
auditors office which reports that
between 80 and IS licenses were sold
to women This is about twenty-five
more licenses than have ever before
been issued to women. Three non
residence licenses and 1925 resident
licenses have been issued to date, ac-
cording to the county auditors.
