When wo vlalt a botanical garden and behold specimens of palms and ferns so luxuriant that their crowns nearly touch the glass-domed conserv atory, we rarely pause to realise that In their native haunts these trop ical plants are trees. At Dhrjeellng, India, for Instance. Is the tree fern found In Its greatest glory. The first few miles o f the 2-foot gauge railway journey from Calcutta passes through a dense Jungle, with a vegetation of tropical luxuriance. Ora as Is 15 feet deep, cane stalks rise SO and 00 feet high, while from the feathery foliage o f the tree fern peacocks and blrds- of-paradlse lift tbelr haughty heads In their topmost frodds. Xs one rum bles along In the little first-class car riage which weighs under two tons, he realizes that the tree fern and all the other luxuriant foliage in this Im- •, penetrable jungle, shields the home o f the tiger, rhinoceros, panther and wild hog. There are no tree ferns In the Unit ed States, but 80 specimens or more are found In the higher altitudes of the West Indies, and many more oc- 1 car In other tropical regions. In some portions of. the mountains o f Jamaica, tree ferns form half or more o f the forced vegetation, their trunks vary ing from 6 to 50 feet In height^. BEAUTIFUL IN ITS COLORING Green Warbler Remarkable Even Among American Birds for tho Gorgoouanesa of Its Plumage. Borne birds get very nervous and be come much excited If you approach their nests, and among them is the hlackrthroated green warbler, says the American Forestry association. An other thing about this bird Is that It frequently builds several nests. Whether this Is because It changed Its mind after building the first one and decided to select a better location or with the deliberate purpose of deceiv ing any Intruders who might come along Is.not known. The bird Is very beautifully colored, the top o f Its head and the region nearly down to the shoulders being a yellow green, the back olive greeu. the throat and breast Jet black and the under parts whit» with some yellow In them at times. I f you are out bird hunting and are looking for that member o f the warbler knownr aa the pine warbler, you will he most likely to find It, as the nsme implies. In s pine grove. Ia fact It Is seldom found outside Of such localities. The bird Is rather quiet In Its man- nor* and does not move about from one spot to another with as much fuss ns do many birds. Like the creeper It has the habit o f creeping nlmut among the brnnehes o f the trees. It Is greenish yellow above and brighter below, with two white wing bars and with white spots on Its outer tall feathers. Plants Demand Cold. A fter the period o f growth In spring and summer there Is a period of dor mancy before tl»e cold weather sets In. and If plants are maintained artifi cially nt a high tem|>eniture this dor mant period persists. Exposure .to cold Is needed to activate the plant for another period o f growth. Perhaps the liberation o f enzymes acts on the •tored starches, converting them Into sugars, or the phenomenon may be due to a change In the permeability of the cell-membrane. Though normally the stimulus required for a renewal o f growth Is supplied by cold, mechanical Injury or a period of drying may have the same effect. The process occurs Independently In any exposed part of a plant, so that If one or two branches of a plant he kept continually warm while the other *s snhjected to the usual winter chilling, the former will not develop on the return of summer temperature, though the latter devel ops ns usual. Fishing Superstitions. The Raltnnn fisheries of California used to be re*t*onslble for a queer cus tom on the part o f the Indians. Every spring they would “ dance for salmon." I f the fish did not appear with the celerity deemed appropriate, there would be employed h “ wise man” who made an Image of n swimming fish which was plnced In the water In the hope of attracting live fish to ihe halt. The Japanese fishermen have the quaint notion that silence must be ob served. and even the women left at home are not permitted to talk lest the fish should heer and disapprove. Among the member* o f the primitive race of Alnus. the first fish caught Is brought In through a window Instead of a door, so that the other fish “ may no* see.” * M AR R IAG E LICENSES.
