Ebony Mentioned in Bible The deep black henrtwood, which is most highly prized In a nqmber of trees of the ebony family, Is men tioned In the Bible In Ezekiel 27:15, In connection with Ivory, probably on account of their value and of their contrasting colors. Ebony was once supposed to grow In the ground “without root or leaves,” and to It were ascribed many mirac ulous powers. The chief source of the ebony wood is the island of Ceylon, where huge logs of the pure heartvvood are cut and hauled to the coast. For interior decorations and furniture ebony has been super seded by rosewood and mahogany, but for cabinet work It is still wide ly employed, being exported from Madagascar, Jamaica, India and Egypt. A species of the ebony tree which Is used as a veneer also grows In the southern United States.—Washington *Star, Modern Noah’s Ark Barro Colorado Island was formed when the valleys about It were flooded by the Impounding waters of the Chagres river to form Gatun lake, says the Defroit News. It resembles Noah’s ark in that there gathered as the waters rose nearly every form of animal life In the vicinity, seeking escape from the rising-flood.----— Despite that it Is only two miles from the Panama river, it has been found to harbor amphibians of new and strange habits as yet unstud ied and innumerable species of In sects never described, as well as many strange and exotic plants, numbering 2,000 or more. It abounds with anteaters, sloths, ar madillos, peccaries, tapir, agoutis, eoatls, the ocelot, the Jaguar, many species of bat, monkeys of various kinds and the famous black howl ers. Cameo Cutting Hard Work Much skill Is exercised by the ex pert cameo cutter. He can only work at his task for a few hours at a time, because of nerve strain. A quavering hand may be respon sible for the single stroke which will spoil a week’s work.' He must have an eye Uke a microscope, and a very delicate touch; he must be an artist in soul, and as skillful a craftsman as Is a watchmaker; he must know how to model and draw, and he must have a knowledge of chemistry, so as to remove offend ing spots. The work is executed In relief on many kinds of hard or precious stones, but especially the chalcedonlc variety of quartz and on shells. Worse Than Island Easter in the South elflc Is about the most undesirable place on earth for human habita tion. No trees grow qn the island because It lacks water and no birds will live there on account of there being no worms. The Island Is ir regular In shape, being twejvd miles by nine, by seven, and Is rery seldom visited by ships. Two hun dred Polynesians Inhabit it, and they suffer continually from hunger. It was first sighted In 1686. It was explored In 1722 and the island then had 2,000 Inhabitants.—Scien tific American.
