CHINESE SECRET..

Botanista in England are trying. to discover, for the benefit of growers in the West Indies and other places within the Empire, the age-old secret of why one camphor tree will produca solid camphos, and another, exactly similar in all appearances, yield merely "cam- phor oil."

Mr. J. L. North, curator of the Royal Botanic Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, N.W., told a re-", porter that the scoret was known to Chinese botanists many centuries ago, and they employed it to im- menec advantage.
