counties to do their begging.

Some. Curious T rees.
There are many vegetable won-|
ders.in this world of ours. Certain
tropical trees furnish clothes as well
as food, and the inner bark of others
is smooth and flexible enough for
writing paper. The bread tree has
a solid fruit, a little larger than a
cocoanut, which when cut in slices
and cooked can scarcely be distin-
guished from-excellent bread: The
weeping tree of the Canary islands:
is wet, even in a drought constantly
distiliing water in its leaves, and the
wine tree of Mauritius island fur-
nishes good wine instead of water.
A kind of ash in Sicily has.a sap.
which hardens into sugar and is used
as such by the natives without any
refining. The product of the wax
tree in the Andes resembles. bees-
wax very closely. Then there is the
butter tree of Africa, which pro-
duces as much as a bundred pounds
at once, only to be renewed ina few
mozths. This secretion when hard.
ened and salted is difficult to distin-
guish from fresh, sweet butter.
Closely rivaling this is uhe milk: tree
of South America, the sap of which |.
resembles rich cowTs milk and is
used as such by the natives. China
can boast of. a soap tree, the seeds of
which when used as soap, produce
strong suds aod remove dirt and
grease readily. Indirect opposition
to these useful trees is the man-eat-
ing plant of the tropics, which re-
sembles VenusT fly-trap in its na-
ture. It has ws short thick trunk
armed with narrow, flexible, barbed
spines.
