Smart Set gray-head- The 811k Cotton True, Although the silk cotton tree is a native of South America, there Is one specimen of It in Nassau, Bahama Islands, that has flourished wonderfully, and is one of the greatest curiosities on the Island. It is just now In bloom and at the height of Its beauty. It was planted more than two hundred years ago by John Miller. The roots seem to be unable to find their way down after the manner of ordinary roots, and so swell up like great buttresses radiating round the trunk of the tree, rising from the ground to a height of from six to twelve feet. They reach out to irregular distances, gnarled and twisted In the most curious fashion. They turn and bend and double a point In all sorts of unexpected ways and make dark hollows and ravines, where the darkies believe the elves and gnomes make their home. The great seed pods are filled with a fine soft fleece of silk, which the natives use for filling their pillows and mattresses. There are several specimens of the tree on me island of New Providence but this one is monarch of them all. A Grant Saccosa. The Medical Expert Im sure your Matter of Color.

From Nairn to the river Findhorn there Is a great expanse of shifting sandhills, known as the Culbin Sands, which show all the great peculiarities of a great desert, and which successfully resist all attempts at cultivation. Three centuries ago the place was a smiling garden with several farms and a village, all of which were overwhelmed In a single night by a great storm of sand. The remains of the buildings can still occasionally be seen when the sand shifts, and many old domestic articles have been picked up. Some tragic stories are still current in the locality of the wonderful escape of the Inhabitants from the blinding sand-dri- ft on that terrible night Monster tog A large fog horn Horn. is to be placed in the Gulf of St Lawrence. The horn is four feet in diameter tt the outer end and twelve feet long, and the sound is produced by driving compressed air through a double set of valves carrying revolving disks with holes cut in them. One set of disks produces a deep roar and the other a shrill shriek. The valves are controlled by clock work, and every two minutes a roar is emitted, followed ten seconds later by a shriek. To operate the horn there are three air tanks, each six feet in diameter and twelve feet long, and three oil engines run three compressors to fill the tanks. On a favorable day this horn can be heard a distance of twelve to fifteen miles. The plant is automatic. Hill excel- lent memory. "I never noticed that your memory was particularly good.

Prof. Joseph Miller, who was arrested on suspicion of having killed Carrie M. Jennett broke down and confessed the crime. Millers confession Is an awful story of impending disgrace and finally murder as a means of averting it He admitted that there had been illicit relations between Miss Jennett and himself for the past two years, and said It was the result of these relations that led him to kill her.

Workmen came across a subterranean house about thlrty-sl- x feet long, and further exploration brought to light several signs of habitation.

Is about the size and shape of an egg. It is hollowed out and divided Into two parts, which screw together. The kernel has been carved in such a way that an openwork of leaves and stems Is all that is left of the nut. . Carrie M.

The night of the murder they met to discuss her trouble and decide on some action. Miller says that that afternoon he decided to kill her if she refused to do as he wished, and he therefore carried a small hatchet with him to their rendezvous. They met and walked out Thirteenth street, talking it over, and finally sat sown on the sidewalk. Miss Jennett renewed her demands that Miller leave the city with ner. He says he told her it was impossible, but she still insisted. By that time I was pretty near crazy, he said.

There Is a curious growth of trees at Tildens Point, Me. Three yellow birch trees are growing on a pine stump. The tree, which was about two and a half feet in diameter, is thought to have been cut down some fifty years ago, leaving a stump three and a half feet high. The seeds of the birch must have lodged on this stump and as they grew they sent their roots down its sides to reach the ground. The three trees are, respectively, five, six and seven Inches in diameter. Encroaching on tho San. The growth seaward of Dungeness Point in England, caused by the eastward drift of shingle, has caused the erection of a new lighthouse there to become necessary, and the contract has been placed with a Deal firm to carry out the work for $30,000.

In the case of William Jones, under arrest on suspicion of having murdered George M. Heywood, the police have not been as successful, hut they have evidence circumstantial obtained against him which they regard as of the highest importance. A thorough search of the Heywood premises was made by the officers who are investigating the murder of George M. Heywood, whose body was found within 100 feet of his home with the skull crushed. William A. Jones, who roomed In Heywoods house, is under arrest on suspicion. It is the theory of the officers that Jones went down the back stairs to the cellar, out the rear cellar door and through the rear khed to the alley; then across the lot and to the barn, where he lay In wait for his unsuspecting victim. According to his theory Jones must have walked through the ashes of the alley. Among Jones' clothing was found a pair of shoes the soles and heels of which were thickly coated with ashes In a nightshirt which Jones wore the officers found a handkerchief with distinct bloodstains upon it With this he might have wiped the head of the machinists hammer which was found In his room and which fitted perfectly the hole In Heywoods forehead. The basement door also was open when the officers first arrived on the scene. a day or two ago to have a dozen bear traps sent him. As, on inquiry, it whs discovered that bear traps are quoted at $110 per dozen. It was concluded to send him two for a starter, as it is not desirable that all the bears in the country should be caught at once, and the price of bear skins and bear grease run down to nothing.
