RIMS on Trees.

SCIENTISTS of the Field Museum
~ of Natural History expect 10 learn
what the weather has been like for
200 years or more in the vicinity of
Chicago by studying the rings on oak
and willow stumps. 1t has been
found that trees of various kinds
register within their trunks a fairly
accurate record of the seasons, be-
cause the wood that grew in the
Summer and that which grew in the
Spring can be distinguished in the
annual rings. BY these comparisons,

STUDY further, the microscope is ex-
pectexl TO disclose what part Of the
wood was formed during the cold,
rainy And dry seasons, for the struc-
ture of the little sap tubes differs ac-
cording to these conditions. Exper-
inents and observations also have
shown that the greatest growth in
trees occuA' on the side opposite to
the direction of the winds For in

Robbie made an Intellectual grab

idea. Regulating our speed to the

yacht to tow. and wa could have

The first thing Lady Brown said TO
me was:
1T serves you right! You brought it

1t was quite true-I had drought it
upon myself.
lWE had saved the dinghya which,

as soon as it felt the weight OF the
yacht had scarcely moved, so, reyers-

guilla.
The tide was nearly full, and ] de
cided to choose-as once before-Aa
sandy spot, and. using the utmost carel
nosed the bow of the Cara in; but be-
fore doing that we got the handle on
the little windlass and commenced to
wind until We had retrieved about $50
wards of the rope attached to the
mighty brute; then, as the yacht
touched the bottom, we flung the
spare line overheard. Robbie and the
boy Jumped off and made it fast TO
some great rocks close to the water S
edge.
l backed out and anchored the yacht
offshore.
Another quandary now arose-how
were Lady Brown and l going to land?
We had no oars with which TO row the
little boat. When l bailed her out we
got ovG this little difhculty by pad
ding with two fat pieces Of wood
which / broke off an old box.
After much struggling and working
we finally manipulated the fish into
the shallow water, though how We

or two of line we gave it a turn round
the rocks while we had a breathing
space, otherwise we could never have

was to wait until the receding tide

Although we had first struck this

round o'clock. There was nothing
to do but go back to Taboga for help,
which was quickly obtained. The Cara
returned with a whole crowd of ma
tives and we all commenced 10 haul.

spank on the water, while the brute
gave two or three convulsive shud-
ders. BY wading out we succeeded in
getting a three-quarter-inch manila
rope round the tail, and by stu
pendous efforts it was finally beached.
1t was colossal fish.
Upon measuring and ascertaining
the weight 1t proved to be 81 feet in
length, u feet in girth; the saw feet
