It ^ has a capacity for carrying 500 feet of flre horse and 200 feet of chemical hose. and has one large tank which is operated by means of compressed air.

The famous tree houses of Papua are rapidly disappearing before the march of civmutlon and settlement In the colony. ? The tree houso? a near and well built habitation, placed at an enor mous height among the branches of a forest tree and reached only by a awtugtng ladder? was primarily In tended aa a refuge from enemies. Now, however, that the Government has brought the wild tribes under ?>n trol' the native prefers to live _?_a house that deinands less sltlll In con struction. ' There are still many tree houses to be seen, though few or none are being built. In the northeastern district of Papua (where much valuable sdivrr rubber and cocoanut land lies ready taking up) the Government officials on their regular^ tours of Inspection often sleep at night in the house of I some hospitable village constable, j who draws hla ladder up at sundown to a doorstep eighty feet ht?h In the air. J ' , I These tree houseB are exceedingly I cool, clean and picturesque with the Ltools of native made thatch and walls Vand floors of wattled boughs. The Florida Outvt, Florida produces a great Tarlety of 1 the choicest fruita. but it never wm famous for apples or peacnes. now ere r. there 1b the guava, concerning ' which little Is know a outside of that t=siato* _but which. l? an excellent sub stitute for either of the above-men j tioncd fruits, and actually seems to I possess qualities ot each. ? jThe cultivated guava shrub or tree I grows to a height of about twehty | feet, and the size of the fruit varies between that of a small hen's egg and I a large lemon. The skin Is smooth, and the Inside resembles the pulp of i a tomato, except for the Reeds, whioh are generally very hard. Several I crops may be raised every year, the winter fruit being more tart than that which ripens in the summer months; but the betwcen-seasons fruit I Is especially line for Jelly-making. It la most unfortunate that the gua In Is a fruit of auch a perishable ns | ture that It appears an lmpoeslblllty to ship it any great distance ? the deli clous red variety often crushing into a mush when carrlod for two or three ] miles ln~a rarm wagon. For that rea son it Is very doubtful whether this tropical product, which should occu py a prominent plsee on the house wife's llat, will ever gain the wide popularity that It Justly deserves. Our Great American Astronomer. Prof. Simon Newcomb. the celebrat ed astronomer, who has Just been dec orated by the Kalaer, is the first American official to receive a foreign decoration of any kind in eight yesrs. This order is but one of many that the distinguished American scientist has had conferred upon him by foreign rulers. He is an officer of the Legion of Honor, and he is the first native American to be made an associate of the Institute of France Blice Franklin.

Mr. C. William Beebe, a {delightful writer and student of ani mals. has found by experience that this pungent haj$ has exactly the same effect upon a Jarguar, tiger', lion, and leopard. A snarling leopard, after sniffing the catnip, will come close to the bars of his csge and follow back and forth the one who holds it, purr tng the -while, and Anally rolling art, and showing every sign of delight.?

The Chief Justtoe* There are very few people who know the proper designation of the man who presides over the supreme court. Generally he hi referred to M th* chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. In fact, he is ths chief Justice. That's his official title.

Mexico. The monster measured nearly 30 feet from UP- to tip of Ita enormous flappers and was alleged to weigfi slightly less than a ton. Its manditiles, which were tightly, cloaed, measured a meter and fifteen centimeters across. The flsh was apparently sleeping on some low flat rocks when discovered and harpooned.

Mombasa. _ ____ Tou possibly think of Mombaaa, 1 where Roosevelt landed, as a sort of pioneer outpost . on the edge of the world. As a matter of fact. Mombaaa waa on the map 200 years before Columbus discovered America, and It la a somewhat prosperous city of 17. 000 people. It Is the terminus of the Uganda Railroad, and has a steel pier and atone wharves. The protective citadel, which still stands as a part of the town's -fortifications, waa started by the Arabs In the seventh century. You mar not have heard much of Mombaaa, but It Isn't because It la ft. new city, built to make one end of a railroad or a landing place for ex Preaidents. Fer Insomnia.

There Is a great deal of cant at the preaent day about advertising, emit ted by persons who are very keen to get all the advertisement they can, and to get It for nothing If possible. Quiet people, who really do not want to advertise themaelves, are much leas censorious. Qlove Cutting. Glove cutting is purely a hand trade No machine could cut out a glove properly, for the simple reason that It could not distinguish between good* "a'Bfl bad. UilLk. sud thin, plsms ttt leather.
