A Tree Which Gives Light at Night.
Tuscarora (Neu.) Times Rerie,c.
A most remarkable tree or shrub grows in a
small gulch near some springs about Il miles
north of Tuscarora it about six or seven feet in
height, and has trunk which at it's base is three
times the size of a mans wrist. 1t has innumer-
able branches and twigs, and resembles somewhat
the barberry tree. Its foliage at certain seasons
of the year is so luminous that it can be plainly
distinguished on the darkest night for a distance
of more than mile, while in its immediate vicin-
ity it emits sufficient light to enable person to
read the finest print. Its foliage is extremely
rank, and its leaves resemble somewhat, in size,
shape and color those of the aromatic bay tree of
California. The luminous property is evidently
parasitic, and consists of sort of gummy sub
stance. which, upon being transferred by rubbing
to persons hand, imparts to it the same appar
emily phosphorescent light, while that on the loaf
entirely disappears. The Indians regard it with
superstition, and will not approach it in the
daytime if they can possibly avoid it. They
have name for it, which, literally interpreted,
signifies "witch tree" An old Shoshone said
there were but two others in the entire country.
