AMERICAN HAWTHORNS.
arta In the Field of Doisnr That
Have Come In the hmmt
Few Years.
The explorations of botanists have
developed, during the past few years,
certain facts concerning the Amer
ican hawthorns which constitute one
of the surprises in the field of bot
any, says the linston Transcript. To
the merely lay mind the mention of
the hawthorn commonly suggests
only an attractive ornamental tree
of English, or at least of European
origin; the idea that there are spe
cies indigenous to our own soil prov
ing generally an Interesting but quite
novel bit of information. And it
may be added that although stu
dents of the North American sylva
have always ben wall aware of a
number of fine native species, they
too, it seems, until very recent years,
had but a faint comprehension of the
somewhat astonishing facts.
So far as is now known, the prin
cipal home of the hawthorn is North
America. England has but a single
species, Crataegus oxyacantha, which
with a few others of continental
Europe have, in the hands of garden
ers and hybridizers, been so greatly
differentiated, that their various ori
gins have become a perplexed ques
tion. Japan, too, for a wonder, has
only one species, and but two or
three are yet known as indigenous
to China, though this great field may
vield others to more exact research.
American foresta, however, abound
in them. They are distributed from
Newfoundland to the Pacific, and
southward to Texas.
Where Sfewapapera Are nrec
In Paraguay there is a little com
munistic colony known ns tne i ostrio
xlnrv. which wr.s rounden several
years ago by an enthusiastic band of
Australian socialists. After many
hardships and privations the colony is
now in such a flourishing condition
as to boast a nw-.vs?paper of its own,
called the CoBmo Monthly. The man
ner in which news is dispensed to the
colonists is interesting. A horn i
blown, generally twice, with half an
hour's gathering time between. The
colonists as-semlde and the reader for
the occasion gives out his news, which
consists of interesting items selected
from the latest weekly papers and dis
patches from the Asuncion daily pa
per, which the colonists receive twice a
week.
