# Enquiry into Plants/Volume 1/Chapter 35

Of the effects of cutting down the whole or part of a tree.
VII. Almost all trees shoot from the side if the trunk is cut down, unless the roots have previously been injured; but fir and silver-fir wither away completely from the roots within the year, if merely the top has been cut off. And there is a peculiar thing about the silver-fir; when it is topped or broken off short by wind or some other cause affecting the smooth part of the trunk—for up to a certain height the trunk is smooth knotless and plain (and so suitable for making a ship's mast), a certain amount of new growth forms round it, which does not however grow much vertically; and this is called by some amphauxis and by others amphiphya; it is black in colour and exceedingly hard, and the Arcadians make their mixing-bowls out of it; the thickness is in proportion to the tree, according as that is more or less vigorous and sappy, or again according to its thickness. There is this peculiarity too in the silver-fir in the same connexion; ​when, after taking off all the branches, one cuts off the top, it soon dies; yet, when one takes off the lower parts, those about the smooth portion of the trunk, what is left survives, and it is on this part that the amphauxis forms. And plainly the reason why the tree survives is that it is sappy and green because it has no side-growths. Now this is peculiar to the silver-fir.

# Equitable Insurance Company v. Hearne

United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 494
Equitable Insurance Company v. Hearne
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts.
The controversy in this case grew out of a contract of insurance upon the same charter-party as in the preceding case, though here the insurance was by a different company from the insurance there. The present case was thus:
On the 2d of May, 1866, Hearne addressed a letter to the Equitable Insurance Company as follows:
'Insure $4000 on the charter-party of the bark Maria Henry, valued at $16,000, if you will not charge me more than 3 per cent.; voyage from Liverpool to Cuba, and to Europe via Falmouth, for orders where to diseharge. She will take her registered tonnage of coal.'
On the 4th of the same month the company replied:
'We cannot write the charter of the bark Maria Henry at your rate, viz., 3 per cent., including coals, from Liverpool to Cuba. Our rate will be 4 per cent. for the voyage, to include coals.'
On the 7th of the month Hearne answered, arguing against the rate proposed, and offered '3 per cent., or 4 per cent., 1 1/2 per cent. to be returned if no loss.'
On the day following the company responded:
'We will write upon the charter of the bark Maria Henry as proposed by you-Europe to Cuba and back to Europe-at 3 1/2 per cent. net. It is worth something, you know, to cover the risk at the port of loading in Cuba.'
On the next day Hearne wrote:
'I accept your proposition in reference to the insurance of the bark Maria Henry. Please insure $4000, at 3 1/2 per cent., on the charter valued at $16,000, at and from Liverpool to Cuba, and to Europe via a market port, for orders where to discharge.'
The contract, as expressed in the policy, was for—
'Four thousand dollars on charter of bark Maria Henry, at and from Liverpool to port of discharge in Cuba, and at and thence to port of advice and discharge in Europe.'
The facts of the case were the same in all respects, down to the close of the litigation at law between the parties, inclusive, as those in the case immediately preceding, where the controversy was with the other company. That case is referred to for the particulars. Hearne having been defeated in his action at law, filed this bill for the reformation of the contract, as stated in the policy. The Circuit Court decreed in his favor. The company brought the case here for review.
Mr. J. C. Dodge, for the appellant; Mr. Walter Curtis, contra.
Mr. Justice SWAYNE, having stated the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The Inland-dwellers of Etah

An “inland-dweller,” half dog, half human, pointing out a settlement for destruction.
A tupilak frightening a man to death in his kayak.
THERE came a sledge driving round to the east of Etah, up into the land, near the great lake. Suddenly the dogs scented something, and dashed off inland over a great plain. Then they checked, and sniffed at the ground. And now it was revealed that they were at the entrance to an inland-dweller's house.
The inland-dwellers screamed aloud with fear when they saw the dogs, and thrust out an old woman, but hurried in themselves to hide. The old woman died of fright when she saw the dogs.
Now the man went in, very ill at ease because he had caused the death of the old woman.
"It is a sad thing," he said, "that I should have caused you to lose that old one."
"It is nothing," answered the inland-dwellers; "her skin was already wrinkled; it does not matter at all."
Then the sledges drove home again, but the inland-dwellers were so terrified that they fled far up into the country.
Since then they have never been seen. The remains of their houses were all that could be found, and when men dug to see if anything else might be there, they found nothing but a single narwhal tusk.
The inland-dwellers are not really dangerous, they are only shy, and very greatly afraid of dogs. There was a woman of the coast-folk, Suagaq, who took a husband from among the inland folk, and when that husband came to visit her brothers, the blood sprang from his eyes at sight of their dogs.
And they train themselves to become swift runners, that they may catch foxes. When an inland-dweller is to become a swift runner, they stuff him into the skin of a ribbon seal, which is filled with worms, leaving only his head free. Then the worms suck all his blood, and this, they say, makes him very light on his feet.
There are still some inland-dwellers left, but they are now gone very far up inland.
# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The Raven and the Goose

​THE RAVEN AND THE GOOSE
DO you know why the raven is so black, so dull and black in colour? It is all because of its own obstinacy. Now listen. It happened in the days when all the birds were getting their colours and the pattern in their coats. And the raven and the goose happened to meet, and they agreed to paint each other. The raven began, and painted the other black, with a nice white pattern showing between.
The goose thought that very fine indeed, and began to do the same by the raven, painting it a coat exactly like its own. But then the raven fell into a rage, and declared the pattern was frightfully ugly, and the goose, offended at all the fuss, simply splashed it black all over.
And now you know why the raven is black.
# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The Raven who wanted a wife

​THE RAVEN WHO WANTED A WIFE
A LITTLE sparrow was mourning for her husband who was lost. She was very fond of him, for he caught worms for her.
As she sat there weeping, a raven came up to her and asked:
"Why are you weeping?"
"I am weeping for my husband, who is lost ; I was fond of him, because he caught worms for me," said the sparrow.
"It is not fitting for one to weep who can hop over high blades of grass," said the raven. "Take me for a husband; I have a fine high forehead, broad temples, a long beard and a big beak; you shall sleep under my wings, and I will give you lovely offal to eat."
"I will not take you for a husband, for you have a high forehead, broad temples, a long beard and a big beak, and will give me offal to eat."
So the raven flew away—flew off to seek a wife among the wild geese. And he was so lovesick that he could not sleep.
When he came to the wild geese, they were about to fly away to other lands.
Said the raven to two of the geese:
"Seeing that a miserable sparrow has refused me, I will have you."
"We are just getting ready to fly away," said the geese.
"I will go too," said the raven.
"But consider this: that none can go with us who cannot swim or rest upon the surface of the water. For there are no icebergs along the way we go."
"It is nothing; I will sail through the air," said the raven.
And the wild geese flew away, and the raven with them. But very soon he felt himself sinking from weariness and lack of sleep.
"Something to rest on!" cried the raven, gasping. "Sit you down side by side." And his two wives sat down together on the water, while their comrades flew on.
​The raven sat down on them and fell asleep. But when his wives saw the other geese flying farther and farther away, they dropped that raven into the sea and flew off after them.
"Something to rest on!" gasped the raven, as it fell into the water. And at last it went to the bottom and was drowned.
And after a while, it broke up into little pieces, and its soul was turned into little "sea ravens."
# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The great bear

​THE GREAT BEAR
A WOMAN ran away from her home because her child had died. On her way she came to a house. In the passage way there lay skins of bears. And she went in.
And now it was revealed that the people who lived in there were bears in human form.
Yet for all that she stayed with them. One big bear used to go out hunting to find food for them. It would put on its skin, and go out, and stay away for a long time, and always return with some catch or other. But one day the woman who had run away began to feel homesick, and greatly desired to see her kin. And then the bear spoke to her thus:
"Do not speak of us when you return to men," it said. For it was afraid lest its two cubs should be killed by the men.
Then the woman went home, and there she felt a great desire to tell what she had seen. And one day, as she sat with her husband in the house, she said to him:
"I have seen bears."
And now many sledges drove out, and when the bear saw them coming towards its house, it felt so sorry for its cubs that it bit them to death, that they might not fall into the hands of men.
But then it dashed out to find the woman who had betrayed it, and broke into her house and bit her to death. But when it came out, the dogs closed round it and fell upon it. The bear struck out at them, but suddenly all of them became wonderfully bright, and rose up to the sky in the form of stars. And it is these which we call Qilugtûssat, the stars which look like barking dogs about a bear.
Since then, men have learned to beware of bears, for they hear what men say.
# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The Guillemot that could talk

​THE GUILLEMOT THAT COULD TALK
A man from the south heard one day of a guillemot that could talk. It was said that this bird was to be found somewhere in the north, and therefore he set off to the northward. And toiled along north and north in an umiak.
He came to a village, and said to the people there:
“I am looking for a guillemot that can talk.”
“Three days’ journey away you will find it.”
Then he stayed there only that night, and went on again next morning. And when he came to a village, he had just asked his way, when one of the men there said:
“To-morrow I will go with you, and I will be a guide for you, because I know the way.”
Next morning when they awoke, those two men set off together. They rowed and rowed and came in sight of a bird cliff. They came to the foot of that bird cliff, and when they stood at the foot and looked up, it was a mightily big bird cliff.
“Now where is that guillemot, I wonder?” said the man from the south. He had hardly spoken, when the man who was his guide said:
“Here, here is the nest of that guillemot bird.”
And the man was prepared to be very careful when the bird came out of its nest. And it came out, that bird, and went to the side of the cliff and stared down at the kayaks, stretching its body to make it very long. And sitting up there, it said quite clearly:
“This, I think, must be that southern man, who has come far from a place in the south to hear a guillemot.”
And the bird had hardly spoken, when he who was guide saw that the man from the south had fallen forward on his face. And when he lifted him up, that man was dead, having died of fright at hearing the bird speak. ​Then seeing there was no other thing to be done, he covered up the body at the foot of the cliff below the guillemot’s nest, and went home. And told the others of his place that he had covered him there below the guillemot’s nest because he was dead. And the umiak and its crew of women stayed there, and wintered in that place.
Next summer, when they were making ready to go southward again, they had no man to go with them. But on the way that wifeless man procured food for them by catching fish, and when he had caught enough to fill a pot, he rowed in with his catch.
And in this way he led them southward. When they came to their own country, they had grown so fond of him that they would not let him go northward again. And so that wifeless man took a wife from among those women, because they would not let him go away to the north.
It is said that the skeleton of that wifeless man lies there in the south to this day.
# Eskimo Folk-Tales (1921)/The giant dog

​THE GIANT DOG
THERE was once a man who had a giant dog. It could swim in the sea, and was so big that it could haul whale and narwhal to shore. The narwhal it would hook on to its side teeth, and swim with them hanging there.
The man who owned it had cut holes in its jaws, and let in thongs through those holes, so that he could make it turn to either side by pulling at the thongs.
And when he and his wife desired to go journeying to any place, they had only to mount on its back.
The man had long wished to have a son, but as none was born to him, he gave his great dog the amulet which his son should have had. This amulet was a knot of hard wood, and the dog was thus made hard to resist the coming of death.
Once the dog ate a man, and then the owner of the dog was forced to leave that place and take land elsewhere. And while he was living in this new place, there came one day a kayak rowing in towards the land, and the man hastened to take up his dog, lest it should eat the stranger. He led it away far up into the hills, and gave it a great bone, that it might have something to gnaw at, and thus be kept busy.
But one day the dog smelt out the stranger, and came down from the hills, and then the man was forced to hide away the stranger and his kayak in a far place, lest the dog should tear them in pieces, for it was very fierce.
Now because the dog was so big and fierce, the man had many enemies. And once a stranger came driving in a sledge with three dogs as big as bears, to kill the giant dog. The man went out to meet that sledge, and the dog followed behind him. The dog pretended to be afraid at first, but then, when the stranger's dog set upon it in attack, it turned against them, and crushed the skulls of all three in its teeth.
After a time, the man noticed that his giant dog would go off, ​now and again, for long journeys in the hills, and would sometimes return with the leg of an inland-dweller. And now he understood that the dog had made it a custom to attack the inland-dwellers and bring back their legs to its master. He could see that the legs were legs of inland-dwellers, for they wore hairy boots.
And it is from this giant dog that the inland-dwellers got their great fear of all dogs. It would always appear suddenly at the window, and drag them out. But it was a good thing that something happened to frighten the inland-dwellers, for they had themselves an evil custom of carrying off lonely folk, especially women, when they had lost their way in the fog.
And that is all I know about the Giant Dog.
