THE SECRETS OF THE TREES.

We find this interesting item in thu
Bangor, Me, Commercial: The wit
ness stasd in the court room during the
trial of the present case looks some
thing like a small lumber camp. A
large number of chips of various sizes,
some of them several feet long, are col
lected there as evidence in the case in
regard to ancient lines. A close exam
ination of those chips shows them to be
of great value and interesting objects
of study. There are chips in court with
landmarks on them made by Johnathsn
Maynard. the surveyor, on trees back in
1897, while Maine was still portion of
Massachusetts,. Another chip Is one
with marks made by Caleb Leavitt for
Gy-three years ago. This is most inter
estiug because the marks are perfectly
plain. On the chips are marks No. s
referring to the township, and also a
square and compass. UnImportanc as
they may seem, these very marks
furnish the most important evidence
as to the lines between towns
and estates. But there is a study of the
method of nature in these ancient
marks. The surveyor originally made his
marks on the outside of tree. Year
10y year new wood and bark grew over
the mark. A Maynard chip in court
shows six inches growth over the orig
inal mark. An ordinary person would
not know any ancient mark was on the
tree, but an expert surveyors eve at
once detects the Indications. he cuts out
the CHIP, finds the mark and then tells
how many years ago it was made by ex-
amining the growth. The mark on the
Leavitt chip referred to is, of course,
the reverse of the original mark, and, rs
it is looked at, appears like q printed
sheet on the wrong side. The mark left
on the tree from which the chip is taken
is perfectly plain, and exactly agrees
With that on the chip. Ii is Il curious
circumstance that the title to land is
really hidden away i'll old trees"
