FREAKS OF NATURE eve A Tree That Throws Somertaulta and a Waterfall Reversed. A tree gone mnd and a waterfall that falls up Instead of down are among the strange things to be seen In Ha waii, as described by John Burroughs in the Century Magazine: "Nature in the tropics, left to her self, is harsh, aggressive, savage; looks as though she wanted to friug you with her dangling ropes or impale you on her thorns or engulf you in her ranks of gigantic ferns. : Her mood is never as placid and sane as in the north. There is a tree iq the Hawaiian woods thnt suggests n tree gono mnd It is called the bau tree. It lies down, squirms and wriggles all over the ground like a wounded snake. 1 gets up and then takes to earth again. Non it wants to be n vine; now it wants to be a tree. It throws somersault, it makes itself into loops and rings, it rolls, it reaches, it doubles upon Itself Altogether it Is the craziest vegetable growth 1 ever saw. "It was near Pall that I saw what J had never seen or heard of before a waterfall reversed, going up instead of down. It suggested Stockton's story of negative gravity. A small brook comes down off the mountain and at tempt! to make the leap down a high precipice, bat tbe winds catch It and carry it straight up " in the air like smoke. It is translated; it becomes a mere wraith hovering' above the bee tling crag. Night and day: tills goes on, tbe wind snatching from tbe moun tains in this summary way the water It bas brought them."- , Lucky Thirteenth, A woman who sets particular store by the thirteenth superstition surprised ber friends by accepting an Invitation to a luncheon where there were to be thirteen guests. i will be late." she said, "for I shall make It n point to be tbe thirteenth pet-Kon to enter the room.
