Members of the famed Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians have made their
home for 155 years at the small reservation, five miles from Eastport, Me.,
and on the banks of the Frontier river, St. Croix, where there is excellent
lishlng at all times. This photograph slovs an ancient tepee used when the
French explorer, Sleure De Mont, made a landing on a small island about
twelve miles above the reservation. The modern Indians live in the wigwams
only during the summer, as they have wooden houses In their villages.

At Norris City, 111., there is a tres
nowri as the "vaulllng-po'e cotton
wood" that lia an interesting history
which is to'.d by the American For
esrry Magazine (Washington) as fol
lows :
Ilosea Pierce nnd a boy comrade re
turned from the war of 1S12 to their
homes, near Nnrris City, in the spring
of lSir. and on January 8 of that
yeir they had helped General Jack
soi' whip the British In the Battle of
New Orleans.
These boys both attended a log
rolling on the old Pierce farm that
spring, nnd as they were reuirning to
the house after their day's work made
a wager who could vault the furthest,
using their cottoriwood handspikes as
vaulting poles. They both left their
handspikes sticking in the soft earth
where they had vaulted, and duriryj
the spring rains of 1S15 they both
took root and lived.
One of these trees died about ten
years ago, but the other is still living
and Is 105 years old. This tree is
about thirty teet In circumference, 375
feet high, with a very large hollow 1n
the base of the tree which has been
used as a housing for setting hens, a
kennel for dogs nnd Is always a fine
playhouse for children.
CLOUDS ARE EARTH'S VEIL
If Ceen From the Moon They Would
Appear as Mere Film Separating
the Earth.
The layer of cloud covering the
earth Is relatively very thin. If, for
example, we could examine the earth
from the moon we would doubtless
see a veil of cloud covering little
more than half the surface. At that
distance the clouds would have no
texture, the earth would appear
swathed in an Irregular sheet of
formless vapor, through which, from
time to time, the land and water areas
could be seen.
The cloud cover of the earth Is most
attenuated; It may be compared to a
film, for It Is supposed to be less than
one-elght-hundrcdtli of the earth's di
ameter In vertical thickness.
The thinness of the earth's atmos
phere may be more clearly compre
hended If we realize that the relative
thickness of the cloud layer on an
eight-inch terrestrial globe would be
nhout one-hundredth of an Inch. Yet
It Is In this thin belt thnt clouds form,
so that it is seen our weather Is pro
duced within limited counties. The
