THE SACRED BO TREE.
One of the Most Wonderful Natural Growth.
Ever Known to the World.
In October, 1887. the sacred in tree, at
that time supposed to be the oldest living
vegetable monument on the earth's sur-
face, was uprooted and destroyed bye
cyclone which swept over the i and of
Ceylon. The oldest written (1 ption
.of the sacred b0 tree now in existence is
that by the celebrated Chinese historian
Fa Hian, who visited the island and the
sacred tree in the year 414 A. I). Accord-
ing to this learned Chinaman, the tree was
at that time 709 years old, having been
lanicd in the year 288 before our era by
up Devlnipiatisso.
As soon as it was known throughout
the island that the tree had been destroyed
by the fury of the glcments great crowds
of mourners gathered around its “sacred
remains" and hold regular funeral services
for two or three week; After the season
of mourning“ Was 'ovilr the tree was out
into proper lengths, each piece wrapped
separately in‘whlte cloth and cremated
with the same funeral rites which would
havobscn given a‘ member of the royal
family. '
Soperishcd the sacred bo tree, one of
the most wonderful natural growths
known to the world—a tree which had
been worshiped daily, one might almost
any hourly, for 9,175 years, and under the
shadows of its branches perhaps heathen-
ish rite: had been enacted ermiing in
Iolcmnity anything known to the tree
worshipers of either ancient or modern
times—St. Louis Republic.
Sugar and Diamonds.
'It can nowbo said with perfect truth
that a lump of sugar may be turned into
diamonds. Not all the substance of the
sugar will enter into the composition of
the gems, but only tho carbon which it
contains. Sugar consists of carbon united
with oxygen and hydrogen in the propor-
tion to term water.
The carbon can easily be separated out,
and in some of tho rccont oxiwrimonls for
the production of dimnouds this sugar car-
bon has been employed. As our rcmlcrs
have been informed, the diamonds so for
prixiucmi arc very small and destitute of
commercial vuiuc.‘ but still they are real
diamonds, and the chemical triumph
achieved would be no greater intrinsically
if they were as large as the lt'uhinoor.
.. Of course it is not meant by what has
been said above that carbon pruparod from
sugar in the only form of carbon used in
those oxpcrlmcnts. Tho graphite from
which lead pencils are made semis the pur~
» pose just as well, and still other forms of
carbon may

years—from 1853 to 1863—110 eculd
not work at all. From his return
from the west in 1846 to the day of
his death, Nov. 8, 1893, he never knew
a day when he was an entirely well
man. He spent some months at a
water cure in Northampton without
benefit. The physician urged him to
prepare to die, but Parkman replied
that he should not die, even if he did
not get well.
At a later date he went to Paris to
consult Dr. Brown-Sequard. who for
three men the tested him for insanity,
but finally told him that his head
was perfectly sound and that he
could do nothing for him. The doc—
tors all told him that he must not
work, and he Once said to me that it
he had followed their instructions
he could never have written his
books. The situation was dosmmte.
For a grow part of the time he could

five minutes without straining his
