mantle spots without the necessity
OF adhering to railroad and steam
ship schedules Of such a voyage
More than once he had faced
death-notahly when he was one
Of a few hundred ship passengers
attacked and robbed by TnurderouS
Chinese pirates. when he slipped
I'm climbing the Natterhorn, and
when he was beWitChed by the
malignant eyes of an enraged
cobra. His love OF the romantic.
the exotic, the dangerous had led
him to break official rules. as
when ne climbed 10 the summit of
Gibraltar and later spent night
In the gardens Of the Tai Mahal.
But through ali dangers and Vicis
sifudes the tour was for him a
Joyous adventure. He was feallZ-
ing his youth.

There is also found in this garden
a tree of famous heritage from Blole
lands of Palestine. Washington has
three thorn trees of the kind that
played a leading part in the great
human drama of the cruCitXlOn ul

Is native Of Europe, Asia Minor and
the Holy Land sometimes called the

This Christ thorn tree was brought
from the Holy Land and presented 10

To mention just a few of the other
famous trees: There is the American
elm, planted by President Rutherford

the sweet-gum tree planted by Presi

dent Mckinley i'll March, 1898. planted
the now most beautiful scarlet oak.
All of these are on the grounds OF

No one has as yet complied any
