INDIA HOME OF TREE FERN
In That Country tho Plant Attains p * *e
Dignity of a Splendid, Pull*

.
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.”
