The famous “monkey puzzle” tree, growing in the public gardens of old St. George’s, in the Bermudas, is & very fine specimen of a tree not .found in temperate zones. This tree is 80 called because very sharp, long thorns protrude from the trunk, thus making it impossible for even the ‘most ‘adventurous monkey ‘to . climb the'tree. It is a veritable por- cupine among trees. The “monkey puzzle” tree grows to a considerable height and its trunk, so thickly stud- ded with forbidding, thorns, makes others, besides monkeys, give it wide berth. Thorns are the natural pro- tection of trees and shrubs, and are one of the factors in the survival of various forms of plant life. The more completely a tree, shrub or vine is thus protected the greater are its chances of propagating its kind and the better -able it is to withstand the depredations of ani- mals, because there are few that care to “tackle” an armor of stout thorns.

Mexico City.—The fossilized remaif of ‘a giant measuring 32 feet 10 lncli&fi In height were, according to report. recently discovered by workmen nedr the little village of Nanacamilpa, state of Vera Cruz. The natives, who still cling to mlny of the traditions of their Indian an- cestors, declared the giant was re- lated to the gods of their forefathers. They erected a catafalque in the plaza, on which the giant rested in state for | many days, covered with flowers and at night carefully guarded. The discovery attracted the atten- tion of scientjsts here. Manuel Gamio, director of anthropology at the Na- tional museum, expects to leave soon for Nanacamilpa to investigate. He is inclined to believe the fossil s that of a prehistoric vertebrate not lmmun. j Plungder. 5 The gentleman burglar flashed Ms lamp in the: startled eyes of the aroused head of the family. “Where's your ulutbles‘!" he” manded; poutely “For ‘heaven’s sake, don’t pleaded the vietini. in that box on_the bureau; may is in.the Mn. on the dresser; my husband’s watc] ) Impntiently shooting a hole in tho pfilow, the burglar snapped: “Don’t kid me!
