A CUR1oUs TREE.


The most curious freak In nature can
be seen in tree up near Eureka. II
is half pine and half fir. 1t is good
sized tree, perhaps seventy-five feet
high: The body from the ground "a
the distance of thirty fest is pine.
Then for a distance of twenty feet it is
fir. The remaining twenty-five feet,
like the lower portion, is pine. The
fir portion of the tree is in a very -four
ishing condition. The foliage on that
hart is 80 dense that the trunk or limbs
can hardly be seen through il. On the
pine portion the leaves are rather
1carce. The tree is near the road and
has been noticed by nearly all who
ever passed that way. 1t is rare Gu
riosity, and well worth seeing.-NE-
