In the person of E. H. Lee, there
 arrived in Seward Saturday from his Anchorage office the only licensed

Colorine Trees.

There Is story that i company has

sap carry the dye through the cells
Of the tree. 1t Is said that In a

birch, beech and maple trees. bored

matter was carried up the boie and
into all the branches. two days being
required 70. stain small trees and four
days TO stain large ones. The in.
yentor claims that the dye does not
kill the tree, and q landscape architect
is quoted as saying that IL 1t did kill
the tree the value Of the timber would
not be lowered. There Is the sug.
gestion that the artifcially colored
trees can be turned into umbrella
handles. cigarette cases, buttons.
candlesticks and whatnot.
Most persons have seen green
carnations on st. Patrick's day. The
stems Of the flowers are put Ia dye
which by capillary action passes
through the minute tubes Of the stalk
and the veins Of the flower. II is the
operation Of this principle by which
