SOME RrMaRKAnrE TREES.

Boston is said to own the two first
sorse-chestnut trees brought to this
country. They are reputed to be los
years old
A ring does not always denote year,
for the blue gum tree of Australia sheds
its bark twice year. A tree recently
hewn, that was known to be only Is
years old, showed thirty-six distinct
rings of growth.
Old oaks and yews in England are not
uncommon. Several oaks felled in
Sherwood forest, about quarter of o
century ago, exposed, on being sawn up,
the date 1912 and tho mark or cipher Of
King John; and it has been calculated
that these trees must have been several
centuries old at the time the marks were
made.
Bcrks, Pa, claims the largest chest.
nut tree in the country. 1t measures
thirty-eight feet four inches in circum'
ference the lowest limbs are fifteen
feet from the ground, and measure four
teen feet in circumference at the base.
The top of the tree is reached without
danger by steps that are fastened DO.
tween the limbs. II is estimated thai
that this tree contains about seventeen
cords of wood. 1t still yields about
three bushels of chestnuts annually.
The oldest yew tree in England, which
"a situated in Cowhust chuchyurd, was
mentioned by Aubry, in the reign Of
Charles L., as then measuring ten yards
in circumference at height Of five feet
from the ground. II is said, on the au-
thority of De Candolle, TO be l, 45C
years old. Its present growth is about
thirty-throe feet. In 1920 this old tree
was followed out, and cannon Dauw
found in the center. In 1925 severe
storm deprived it OF its upright branches.
a door has been made to the inside Of
the tree, where seats arc to be had fol
twelve persons comfortably.
