The .sRig Trees,, of California.

A Californian botanist has sent to the Rural Press an account of the results of a careful measurement of the famous "blg trses." and laborious count of the rings In various stumps, The Father of the Forest" has been said to have sprung from the earth soon after the Deluge. but the rings on his shattered trunk show that his full age at base is probably 1,50O years, His alleged forty feet diameter proved to be only eighteen feet, measured at six feet from the roots. This correspondent adds |: "One oft-repeated story is true however, that of passage through part of his body large enough to admit horsemen. This passage. burnt out of h1s heart, con- mences at point sixty-six feet from the roets. and extends 120 feet, coming out where was once a knot-hole. now enlarged by relic seekers to g wide doorway. saw several ladles ride horses of medium size through this wooden tunnel and one day while passing, riding one of my horses and leading the other. packed with bulky spec imens, turned into the cavity and rode safely through. Tie ceiling overhead is four feet to six feet thick, 0 the grand promenade for visitors above ls perfectly, safe.' He mentions another monster tree
 whose stump he measured with his tape line, "held at the other end by g master builder from Boston" and the longest d1- ameter, including bark. at five feet from the base, was found to exceed twenty -sev. en feet. He says also: "The South Park Grove contains 800 trees. some of them of the largest class. One. tAe home of Trap per Smith, is g vast swollen trunk at base, ninety feet in circumference and thirty in diameter. The Livery Stable.' which has received twenty-five horses at once into it's hollowsd base, is Sl feet In circuit"
