DI Vi L's TREE.—There is a tree called the Devil's Tree, which growl
iii America; its fruit, in a state of maturity, is elaqic and whets dried
by the heat of the fun, noisily splits, and burst.; forth its grains. To
this; sport of nature the tree owes its name, for at the moment of burst-
ing, the effect of a piece of artillery is produced, the noise of which
,ucceeds rapidly, and is heard tolerably far off. 11 this fruit be trans-
ported before it is ripe, to a dry place, or exposed on a chimney-piece
to a gentle heat, it will have the same ellect, and produce thr same
phest,,menon. '
The intended Breakwater in Plymouth Sound, which is to render
that anchorage safe from the dangerous swell which now rolls in from
the Atlantic, it is estimated, will cost one million three hundred thou-
sand pounds, and will employ 1600 men nearly seven years in complet-
ing. It will be formed of 830 fathoms of sitt!kett masses of marble
rock (only 180 feet short of a mile), at a distance of about half a mile
front the shore, a proper height alma the water, and on whack are to
be a mitt' and a light-house..
