THE GIGANTIC FIG TREE OF INDIA.

The majestic and mighty banyan fig
tree lords it oRer the vegetable world of
Asia. No other tree ever measured a

By the circumference of its branches.
nor afforded shelter from the sun at one
time to thousand men. Under its vast
shadows one may stroll leisurely for
hours along avenues and footpaths bor-
dered by towering shrubs and cooled by
gurgling streamlets. There is banyan
in Ceylon which measures 1,5OO feet
around the branches-moret than quar-
ter Of q mile.
Under the shade OF a still larger tree
on the banks Of the Nerbudda, in India,
which measures q circuit of 200 feet,
whose large trunks number 354, whose
small ones exceed ;, 600, and whose foli-
age makes & home for thousands Of birds
and monkeys. the chief of Putnah used
to encamp IN magnificent style. Here
ne would entertain his guests on his
iizer-hunting expeditions. Separate
t--ts were corgeoUslv fitted up as bed
chambers, and each guest having one
had three servants at his command. Sa-
looms, drawing room. dining rooms.

in1a-s and sa17a-ts, there were :, 600 in
Gl7-dasls = the retinue, yet the great
bauya- easily sheltered them al. Here,
when tAs G-ow and flush OF the fierce
s1l had give way TO the cool dews of
evening, the guests OF the Oriental
Prince slipped their sherbet or cham
pagEe, and watched the movements of
the dane ng girls, while the monkeys
cLattared and the night birds sang in
the Ieafage above, and the pale noon
shine glinted down through the open
i1gsi N the vast roof.
When the banyan first springs I'D its
method OF growth IS normal, and during
the first century Of its life, indeed, it
shows 10 disposition to do anything &C.
centric. But when the great branches
CT the tree have reached such height
that they can no longer support their
weight horizontally, the ends begin to
bend downward, and they lower from
the tips one or more roots, which, en-
tering the ground, send forth rootlets.
and themselves become fresh stems. So
at last the horizontal branches. once in
danger Of breaking by their own weight.
are as easily supported by the pillars as
q bridge by its piers. So the process
goes on for ages til the grand tree COW
ers its acres Of ground. Lateral branch
es shoot out from the main limbs, while
the latter are constantly growing until
they reach gigantic size. These lateral
branches also put down stems and shoot
ont branchiets, until il comes to pass
that, instead Of one tree, there is mar
veIcus coLonnade of stems supporting as
many natural rafters, on which repose
dense masses Of foliage.
Such Is the gigantic fig tree of India,
truly one Of the wonders of the world

SLOW-BURN1NG CONSTRUCTION.

80 long as wood must be used for
floors and roofs, there can be no such
thing as fre-proof building. It is, there
lore, proposed by one of the leading
hre-msurance companies that all new
structures, and particularly factories and
shops where wood is to be used, shall be
made fre-resisting or slow-burning. The
plan suggested is worthy of attention,
because it cften happens that, if the fire
can only be confined to the interior of
the building for even a few moments,
much property, and perhaps many lives,
can be saved. For the floors it is pro-
posed to use heavy timbers, 30.5 cent?
meters by 80 centimeters q2 by IA
1nches), and on these to lay matched
planks 7.6 centimeters g inches) thick.
Over these planks is to be layer of
rOofng-felt or mortar, and in this mortar
Is to be bedded flooring boards of the
usual thickness. Such a floor would
burn, but so slowly that fire would be a
long time in eating its way through.
The aim is TO gain time, for time is the
one element of safety at all fires. For
the root, the supporting beams are to be
Of the same size, and the top is to be of
matched planks 7.6 centimeters thick,
and covered on the outside with any
form Of roofing that may be desired.
The ends Of the beams are to pass
through the outer walls, and to be fin
ished as brackets to support the plank
ing that is carried to the ends of the
beams.

bill is really wonderful curiosity. It
was paid to the bank by Government
official, through whose hands it passed
without detection. 1t was received at
the bank, but its true character was soon
afterward discovered.
The execution of the bill probably re-
quired two days hard work, which would
give the forger SO a day for his labor
He has probably set afoat many of these

having been In the Army Medical Museum
since July 3 last. have at length, 1t Is stated,
LOST their identity as his Zones. The day FOL-
lowing the execution Gultrau's body was in
TERED under the floor of the east wing OF the
Jail. On the night Of July 3lst was rP>urrect-

Sclinfliert. and taken 10 the museum. Here
the bones were prepared for articulation, and
being In fine order for such purpose II WAS
supposed that some day or other Guitean'S
skeleton would he placed In a glass case In the
museum, properly labeled
1t WAS known by II number OF clerks anu
other employees OF the museum that the bones
were there. hut only Il few persons have ever
been permitted to see them. II has been
deemed ina6vis:tb!r, however, to place The
skeleton On exhibition as that Of Guitean, for
like the ccrvicul vcrlebrae Of the assassin of
Lincoln-WilkCS Booth ii would have ni-
tractcd too large Il crowd. Recently DR.. G.. II.
crane, the surgeon general, took the bones IN
to his personal possession. and lie has made
4 disposition OF them of which every other
person is ignorant. Gen. ram will doubtless
keep tie secret to him.clf. 1t Is thought that
the bones are yet in the building ~ an entire
skeleton or that they with other bones form
