Spanish Sailor First to Discover Australia While In South America, Doctor hosenbucb of Philadelphia Is said to have acquired many Interesting pa-pers, Including one which bears the only known signature of the discov-erer of Australia, Oapt I'edro Fer-dand-o de yuiros.

Evergreens Found in Warm and Cold Zones An evergreen Is a tree which stays green ail winter that Is to say, the leaves do not fall In autumn, as do the leaves of deciduous trees. Many evergreens are coalfers (cone-bearin- g trees), but not all conifers are evergreens. The larch Is conifer, but Is not an evergreen. Spruce Is familiar evergreen. It was so named because It was first known as a native of Prussia-Fre- nch "prusse" and middle English "prose" or "spruce. Spruce Is an old name for Prussia. Fir Is an old word, long In the language, always used for the tree; pine Is Latin, also the name of the tree which It designates today. The hemlock has also been long in the language. There are evergreens which are not trees. Almost all tropical plants, botanically speaking, are evergreens. The holly Is an Interesting northern evergreen, much used for decoration ' purposes at Christmas. . The rhododendron Is an evergreen Shrub. Its name, according to Web-ster's Kew International dictionary, 'comes from Greek words meaning literally "rose tree." It was so named because of Its large flowers. Other evergreens of the north In-clude certain varieties of the cedar. Ivy, laurel, etc. The words are all "old" that Is, they have been In the language for centuries, often nearly In the forms we know today as the names of these plants or similar plants. Death Valley in Java ' Exudes Poison Gases Tor years travelers In Java have told of a "death valley" on the slopes of the volcano of Tangkoban Praho. The bottom of this valley, so they re-port, Is paved with the skeletal re-mains of blMs and lizards, and, ac-cording to some, even the skeletons of a few venturesome human beings who dropped dead there or staggeced out of the fatal bowl only to die on Its rim. This valley has now been definitely located by the chemist of the volconologlcal survey of tbe Dutch East Indies. The Java valley, says Dr. EL E. Free, seems to deserve Its name, for Inconspicuous vents In Its bottom have been discovered by the chemists to be discharging not only carbon dioxide gas, which displaces the oxy-gen of the air and might suffocate the unwary, but also a still deadlier poison, hydrogen sulphide gas. This compound Is the g gas given off by rotten eggs. In the small traces set from such decaying sub-stances, or as used In equally small amounts In chemical laboratories, the gas Is not seriously dangerous, Anal- - yscs made In Java's deadly valley show, however, as much aa 10 per cent of this gaseous poison In the air enough to poison any creature that breathes It for more than a few sec-onds.
