EXTRAORDINARY FORMS OF GROWTH Llkrnrsacs of Atilmnln, Letters, tlontn, ItuuHFB nmt Oilier CurliniK llc- Ikiih l'roilut ril hy skilled Uiiritcucm. In Japan large salaries are paid to skilled (gardeners who can twist and torture trees .from their normal forms of growth Into tho likeness of animals, boats, houses and other designs. Of lato yenrs tho custom haa been Imported to this country, nnd with It tha Oriental trco twisters. Not the most skillful of them, however, can beat na turo's distorters of vegetation, the nor- ulstcnt winds, ami tho Japancso experts could learn lessons In (tho surprising and fantastic from a grove of trees on tho Jersey coast. Tho place Is aptly called Wlldwood. It forms part of an Island cut off from tho mainland by a narrow arm of the ocean. for centuries tho gales have wrought their fierce will upon tho vegetation. Although I ho soil seems to bo largely composed of whlto sand, It Is fertile, otherwise these would not be on tho Island, In tho faco of tho almost constant winds, tho luxuriant growth, both of trees and lower forms of vcgetablo life, with which It Is covered, Wild grapes nro abundant and vines arc neon which aro fully eight to twelve Inches thick nnd havo In somo cases so com plctely covered the trees that the aboreal follago can scarcely be seen. Extending nlong tho ground and up tho trunks Into tho branches, somo of tho vines look llko liugo snakes, and many an unsuspecting visitor has had a shock hy coming Into contact with their swaying sinuosities In tho shady nooks of the place. ()lil fornix. Tho trees thcmsolvcs have assumed somo very odd forms. For Instance, there oro two which aro very simitar to the let ter "V," and havo been called "W" trees by tho natives, Ono Is a cherry trco which lias taken a fancy 'to grow In this way, whllo tho other Is a fir, which first split away nt the base, then described tv curve, took hold of tho ground nnd grow up again, forming n perfect, It rather wide-spread, ... Tho "N" trco Is u curious combl nation located a fow hundred feet from thu "V" trees. It Is composed of two separato trees. A portion of ono trunk, split off from the main bole, was probably blown ngalnst tho trunk of tho other trco nnd has actually grown In this form, although tho end of tho trunk branches off to ono bide. Tho bent part, which forms the middle of tbo "Is," has grown Into tho other treo a distance of. nbout four Inches. Another curious form of growth Is shown liy u holly. From tho roots of the main trunk a smaller ono has started, which la joined to tho other In no lo.ss than live different places from tho top branch .to tho ground. Somo of the connections arc but on Inch or so In length, whllo tho others uro four or flvo Inches. In tho middle of this curious grovo Is n lagoon, or pond, on tho banks of which Is ono of tho oldcBt formations of tho grove This In n pine tree, which Is still growing, In aptto of disadvantages. Tho trunk has l;ccn twisted around so as to form the figure "8" from ono point of view and the lotter "O" looking nt It from another point, while ono of the brnnches, or arms, at tho left forms tho head of a snako, Including thu curve. In tho neck. Tho front view of tho snnko is startllngly realistic, tho bead being of tho true, flat-topped, venomous typo and the posturo characteristically vlperlno. The treo Is evidently very old, ns Indicated by tho trunk, and will prob nbly bo dend In n few years, as Its follago Is ticant nnd confined to a low small, Irregular boughs. Tho mystery Is why It did not dlo before, distorted ns It Is. In tho center of Wlldwodd Is a pavilion where refreshments aro served to visitors. Tho principal support of this pavilion Is formed by a trco, which posses through tho center and out of the root. Its branches form an excellent protection from tho Bun In summer, whllo tho roof girders nro fastened Into It In placo of tho usual posts. Locution of I lie Fretilin. All these freak trees aro located about a mllu from tho highway on tho banks of what is known as Grassy sound. They form a grove about a mllo long and half a mile In width. In -tho eutlro lot scarcely fine can bo found which grows like an ordl nary treo. Tho various species include holly, bitch, pi no, cherry, nsli And cedar Somo of the cedars still giving out leaves havo not a particle of bark upon Jhclr trunks from tho ground to tho first branches. Tho winter gales havo stripped tho covorlng. Exports who havo examined them say that muny of tho trees are un doubtedly sovoral centuries old. The action of tho wind upon the branches has twisted them Into every conceivable fashion, so that It Is hard to toll where ono branch begins nnd another ends. In several parts of tho grove dlfforont kinds of trees havo grown together, such ns fir and holly nnd cherry and ash. Tho growth Is generally formed by n limb from ono bolng bent ngalnst the other, as shown In tho caso of the "N" treo remaining In that place whllo It gradually uiado a cleft for Itself.

"You would hardly think." said the old printer, "that Nebraska has seen within Its own borders tho evolution of the art of printing from practically tho position It oc cupied at the tlmo Ileujamln Franklin In creased his wages nnd threw another man out ofa Job by carrying two forms up n flight of stairs to tho place It now occupies, but such Is tho case. "In tho territorial days of tho present stato tho towns which were struggling for existence and tho stato capital first at tempted to secure newspapers to advocate their claims and to set forth their advant ages to tho public. Tho land boomers of early Nebraska wcro not overburdened with cash, but ns a general thing they had land to gho nwny, and they gave It with no nig gardly spirit to men who had tho capital and Inclination to Invest In newspaper plants. Generally theso territorial news paper men wcro practical printers, moro familiar with tho mechanical department than with the business office. They wcro nl ways more sangulno than practical and as business propositions few of the original publishers of newspapers In any of the towns of territorial Nebraska won either fame or fortune. Two notnblo exceptions aro found to this rule outsldo of Omaha II. 1). Hathaway, who 11 fow years ago retired from the management of tho Lincoln Stato Journal, und Thomas Mor ton, who died In tho position of editor of tho Nebrnskn City News. In Omaha lr. Cicorgo I Miller made a fortune nnd his reputntlon ns a journalist nnd polltlclnn U coincident with tho boundaries of tho United States Mnny Are Old !Mc morlcx. "Many of tho papers started In terri torial days havo passed from my memory, but I can remember the offices In which they wcro printed. Tho nverago newspaper office of Ncbrasku territory was brought 'to tho town by a bonus, usually consisting of n building nnd n number of town lots. Tho capital of tho printer wns nlways an tin known quantity and his standing in the community was not so much gauged by his personal nppearnnco as by tho warmth of tho Invectives used by him In discussing tho claims of rival towns for recognition ns tho coming" metropolis of tho state. His office usually occupied n building of one story in tho center of tho town. It was built of cottonwood boards nnd on winter mornings It was tho duty of tho Inevitable 'dovll' to sweep tho snow from the chairs nnd cases beforo tho offlco force, which con- slstod of tho editor, printer nnd bustness manager in ono person, arrived for his day s work. Tho principal machinery of tho office was a haudprcss, one of tho sort called 'Wash ington,' which still holds its placo In many country offices. Tho Washington hand- press Is a machine which, In the hands df an experienced man, almost performs mir acles. Twice a week it wns used for print ing tho weekly newspaper and between times tho printer .used It as a Job press, prlntjng everything from n salo bill to a visiting card. Printers of today may smllo when they think of printing stationery on a handprcss, but for many years, as wo flg uro tlmo In the west, it was tho only ma chine for this purpose, nnd nn Inspection of somo of the old work will show that the territorial printer had learned the secret of getting good work under difficulties, "Transportation was ono of tho chief difficulties of the territorial days, and thu printer, generally too poor to tako ad vantage of wholesale prices, was driven to expedients nt which tho modern printer would Ktand appalled. I remember ono day at Uelluvu, when the people of that enterprising city, which at that tlmo con tained a much larger population than Omaha, decided to celebrate tho Fourth of July or somo other similar occasion, John Q. Ooss owned tho newspaper and was one of tho men who employed a Journeyman printer. Ho had told his printer that tho citizens' cororaltteo had ordered Beveral hundred posters to bo printed In bluo nnd rod on whlto paper. Tho printer ordered his Ink from St. Louts and then tho river fell so that It 'was nenrly a month before n boat camo up from the Missouri city. Thero was not a pound of colored Ink within fifty miles of Dellcvuo and thosa bills had to bo printed. Necessity Is the mother of Invention, and that printer was resolved that Dellovuo should not stand abhamed beforo Its rivals. A visit to tho only drug sforo In tho town proved that thero was not nn ounco of red dyestuff In tho town. Mounting a horse tbo printer forded tho Platto and nt I'lattsmouth suc ceeded In getting tho material ho needed, With linseed oil and turpentine, nnallnu dyes were worked Into a composition which took tho place of printers Ink, and two weeks beforo the celebration colored posters proclaimed the enterprise of Dellc vuo and tho Ingenuity of Its printer. 3lnkinir Wood Type. "That poster was certainly character istic of tho times. Tho offlco boasted a fair Supply of wood type, but nothing largo enough for such a Job. The prin cipal lines and tbo border were carved from a pine board, which was treated so that It transferred tho Ink to the paper. Beforo tho work was dono tho printer ran out of blank paper and was reduced to tho extremity of printing somo of the bills on the blank sldo of n nowspapcr which had novcr been completed, It Is gratifying to know that tho celebration thus adver tised was a bucccss and that Dellovuo had moro people within Its borders that day than probably it has ever had since. Tho composition roller, which Is an es sential part of every press, from tho Wash ington to tho latest thing In perfecting prosses, was unknown to tho territorial printer. Ink was trunsforrcd from tho board on which it was distributed to the typo by menus of what wero known as brayers, prnounccd by tho craft as though spelled briars. These brayers wero pads of wool covered with sheepskin. The per son whoso duty it was to plnco tho Ink on tho typo took u braycr In each hand and after working tho InK until It wns smooth and very, thin on the brayers pressed tho pads upon tho type. As a result of this process the ink was moro or less unevenly placed upon tho typo nnd careless printers mado bad work. Tho places which wcro exceedingly light wore called 'friars' and the comparatively dark places wero called "monks," two words which camo to the craft from medlovnl times, but which hnvo been dropped from tho parlance as the Invention of the com position roller has driven tho mottled ap pearance of the printed paper from ex istence. It Win a Power. "With all of theso hardships, tho ter ritorial newspaper or rseDrasKa was a power In the land. To be suro It never attained the national promlnenco that was reached by somo of tho papers of Kansas, which wero being prlutcd at tho sarao time, for tho reason that Nebraska was spared the wars nnd trouble which mado Kansas known from one end of Christendom to the other.
