The Great Chestnut Tree, near
Mount Etns, is perhaps one oi the
most extraordinary trees 10 the world
Il is called "The Chesnut Tree OF
Hundred Horses" from the following
Evolutionary tale. Joan of Arragon
when she visited Mount Etna, was at
tended by her principal nobility when
a heavy shower Obliged them TO lake
refuge under the tree, the immense
branches of which sheltered the whole
party. According to the account
given of it by Mr.. Howell, this chess
nut tree is l5o feet 10 circumference,
and although quite hollow within' the
verdure flhs branches is not aHectedl
for this species Of tresS like the wIlIo"
and some others, depend upon lis bark
for subsistence, The cavity OF this
enormous tree is so extensive, that
house has been built in it, and the In'
habitau.s have an oven therein, where
they dry nuts, cbesnuts, Almonds &c"
Of which they make conservesi but, as
these ,houxhtless people often get fuel
from the tree that shelters them, 1t IS
feared that this natural curiosity will
be destroyed by those whom 1t pro-
tects. French paper.
