FINEST RESINS IN WORLD German East Africa Afforded Remark- able Supply of Tree Producte in Great Demand. In what was lately German East Africa lie great tracts where some of the finest resins in the world may be found.' This is the gist of an ar- ticle in the Cornhill Magazine which in a few pages lifts a corner of the veil from the romance of the world’s copal trade from far Cathay to the Fiji islands. But the writer’s at- tention is fixed on the east coast of Africa, to the resins carried by Arabs from Africa to India for sale in the markets of Bombay and Cal- cutta. In Sir Richard Burton’s day, a8 centuries before, Mombassa traded in ivory, in hippopotamus teeth, in cattle, in cereals, in slaves from the interior, and in resin. It was the possibilities of the resin trade which Sir Richard wished to investigate. He desired to see the copal tree with his own eyes. His purpose was practical but he could not refrain from harking back to those days whem Mombassa, the desolate, was, as spoken of by Camo- ens, a home of ancient grandeur. Burton’s optimistic forecast- for the immediate future of the resin trade did not lead to its development. For years copals have mainly come from Angola, Bentuela, Congo, Gaboon and Loanga. Now it would seem as if, with the passing of German East Africa, a fresh opportunity had arisen for the collection of those “tree-products which link us so strangely with the East.” CRESCENT BADGE OF TRIUMPH Turkish Emblem, Regarded as Essen- - tlally Mohammedan in Significance, Is of Christian Origin. The Turkish ecrescent, although now regarded as essentially M.loham- medan in significance, is, it appears, of Christian origin. A crescent moon was the ‘emblem of the Byzantine empire and of the Eastern church. The Turks adopted it as a badgé of"] triumph after the capture of Con- stantinople in 1453. With reference to the crescent, the story of the origin of the crescent- shaped Vienna roll is of curious in- terest. It arose in the sixteenth cen- tury, when the Turks were besieging Vienna. Failing to carry the city by assault they began to mine the walls. At that period the city’s bakehouses were in the walls under the fortifications, and when the mines were almost through the sound of the work was heard in the underground bakehouses, and an alarm was given. To celebrate this event, the bakers of Vienna adopted the Turkish emblem as the form in which to mold and bake their bread. oLD TREE IN ORE MINE. Discovery has been made in the Holman iron mines, near Taconite, Ttasca county, Minnesota, not far from the source of the Mississippi river, of the trunk and branches of a prehistoric pine tree in an excel- lent state of preservation and with pine cones about it. The tree is not petrified, says an exchange. The wood is as sound in the main as though it had been felled only a few years ago and the pine cones are still pliable. The wood with ex- pesure to air has not softened or crumbled, ard the find is the fitst of its kind on ecord, so far as geolo- gists of the great iror ranges can learn. sume GARDEN PLOT. “Subbubs, why don’t you make a garden ?” “I’m willing, if youll tell me what I can grow with a tin-can sub- stratum and ashes for a top soil.” —Kansas City Journal. Apostle Spoons. Apostle spoons, #iso called “gossip spoons,” were gilt spoons given by the sponsors or “gossips” to a child at its christening. They were so called be- cause each spoon had a figure of an apostle on the handle. Wealthy peo- ple gave the whole twelve Apostles; those of less means and generosity gave the four Evangelists; while poor- er persons had to be contented with one, being generally the figure of the donor’s or of the child’s patron saint.
