FLOWER AND TREE.

The trees of Aloka are mostly ever- en, the spruce family predominating.

A huge cypress tree in Tule, in the state Oaxaca, Mexico, is 154 feet in circum-

erence.

Every flower that has a perfume at all ¢ Mepecretes a volatile oil, the evaporation of a a hich constitutes the pe culiar odor char-

teristic of the blossom. The Lombardy poplar tree, it is said, ns a splendid natural lightning con- Mepuctor, its great height and lack of spread- fo 7 mg branches enabling it to conduct a vr 4 ightning stroke straight downward. No use by which one of these trees have en reared as yet has been known to suf- nF from the severest storm.
