PERUVIAN RAIN TREE. Hat the Power of Collecting Damp nesa In Air and Condensing. The rain tree of Peru grows very large. Is rich In leaves and Is called by the Indians tamalcaspl. It has the power of collecting the dampness of the atmosphere and condensing It In to a continuous and copious supply of rain. In the dry season when the river '.re low and the heat great the tree's oner of condensing seems at the Ugliest and water falls In abundance i oni the leaves and oozes from the trunk. The water spreads around In erl.able rivers, part of which Alters into the soil and fertilizes It. These -ivers are canalized so as to regulate lie course of the water. It is estimated that one of the etuvlan rain trees will on the aver se yield nine gallons of waier per em. In a fleld of an area nf one Nimeter square that Is, 3,250 feet n-h wny can be grown 10,000 trees ?rr.rated from each other by 25 e'crs. This plantation produces illy S8.').00( liters of water.

Espana Moderna. The Texas Armadillo. During the '.ast three years Drs. N'ewirand and Patterson of the school ot zoology at the University of Texas have been much interested in working out certain points concerning the biology of the armadillo, probably the most unique animal in Texas. This little creature represents a migrating species which has In large numbers crossed the frontier of Texas from Mexico and now Inhabits the greater portion of the southerr half of the State. The point of special Interest In the biology of the armadillo lies In Its peculiar method of development. Drs. Newman and Patterson have found out that the Texas armadillo normally gives birth to four young and that the individuals of any given litter are Invariably of the same sex; that Is, they are either all males or all fe males, never mixed. Houston Post British Saints. December 1 appears from old calen dars to have been a notable anniver sary for Cambro-Brltish worthies about whom we know little beyond their names. It Is the Feast of St. Delnlol, an Interesting personage to all Liberals because he is the "patron" of Hawarden and gave his name to the library which Mr. Glad stone established there. This date Is also the "memorial" of the saints of the Isle of Bardsey, which was the Iona of Walei, and formerly a favorite place of pilgrimage. A farm on the opposite mainland still remains tithe free because anciently charged with the expense of supplying rest and re freshment to weary pilgrims bound for Bardsey. Westminster Gazette. Knew Its Protector. In spite of his well known poor marksmanship a certain Englishman was Invited to the country for a day's shooting. The attendant In great dis gust witnessed miss after miss. "Dear me," at last exclaimed the sportsman, "but the birds seem ex ceptionally strong on the wing this .vehr!" "Not all of 'em, sir," came the re mark. "You've shot at the same bird this last dozen times. 'E's folleriniz you about, sir." "Following me about. Nonsense. Why should a bird do that?" "I dunno, sir, I'm sure," replied the man, "unless 'e's 'anging round for safety." Ideas. Tame Mountain Sheep. Any one who wants to start a lynching in Ouray could do it by kill ing one of the big mountain sheep that come down to the town for food in cold weather. They are to be seen ever winter morning near the railroad station and are becoming very tame. People have approached them closely enough to obtain good snapshots. The citizens of Ouray look upon them as com munity pets. Last winter the Ouray Commercial Club provided food for them regularly. Ouray correspon dence Denver Times. The Furs Capital.

Cheerful Custom in New Guinea Which Cause Frequent Murders. Everywhere In New Guinea the traveller Is continually brought face to face with death, and the natives are devoid of the sllghest pity or respect for the dead or dying, al though after a death they will ofteu wall and mourn for a considerable time. Murder Is an everyday occurrence, ind nothing could be worse than the morals of the natives. In fact, tbey have none, they thieve and lie with a persistence and cunning which are surprising. The Papuans have a cheerful cus o:n which demands a life for a life Should any one die, at the first op uortunlty they kill some one they ire not very particular whom to li ke up for It "While we were at Mnrrboliit Bay," says Prof. Pratt In the 'Wide World Magazine." "a Malay Med of dropsy; he was the first Malav vho had ever coine to that part, and "he Papuans greatly respected him. " 'Very well.' they said, 'we must hoot a Malay with our bows and trrows to pay for his death.' And 'ooner or later some Innocent person would be killed to square the account vhen everybody except, presumably, he victim's friends would be Balls ied." How He Timed His Talk. A successful salesman for a hard ware line of goods had a novel way list season of exciting at least a mo mentary Interest In his prospective nston ers in the new territory he had been given. On entering the office of lis prospect his first remark was: "Mr. Smith, we are both business Tien with whom time Is money. I inly ask for three minutes of yours, s I can only give you three minutes of mine. Let's be sure we keep to limit." Thereupon he pulled from his pocket quickly and placed on the desk of his hearer,' well within his vision and reach, a neat little article of the same shape as and patterned after the well known hour glass, but con taining only sand enough to require three minutes for Its passage from the upper to the lower compartment "You keep tab and don't let me overtalk the limit" System.

Hall while crossing the Hawaii Channel struck an enormous swordfWh and the impact was so great that the sharp edges went through the planking of the vessel. She immediately sprang a leak and It was necessary to put the Likellke on the run during the repairs. When the story was told of course landsmen were sceptical of It and refused to bellve that a swordfish could pierce even a wooden vessel, but it was pointed out that the fish could gather speed of fully sixty miles an hour. There Is sufficient evi dence to show that the fish damaged the boat Honolulu Star. Mustacheless Indiana Trustees.

SHE WAS WORRIED The 1-ady (In the snowdrift) Oh! dear, I do hope I ain't got no holes in my stockings! True Honest. "To be honest Is more than to re frain from stealing another man's purse, more than paying the exact number of dollars you owe. Honesty means far more than not defrauding other people financially. It means nothing less than not defrauding your self by your own prejudices and judg ments. It means dealing fairly and squarely with yourself; looking at yourself with the same ryes with which yon dissect the conduct of your associates." Clara K. Dayllss. The Way Out. A painstaking mother of two chil dren was attempting to give them a serious Idea of her anxiety to make them good, and to make plain to their minds the gravity of the task before her.
