Remarkably Large Trees.

The banyan tree is one of the re-
markable products OF the East Indies.
Its life is usually begun from a mi
mute seed dropped by some bird upon
some other plant, such as the wild
date, which it brushes as it grows.
Every branch from the main BODY
throws out its own roots, which, con-
stantly thiclening. descend to the
ground several yards below, where
they strike in, increase to large trunks,
and send ont new branches from their
tops, which in turn repeat the process.
The botanic garden at Calcutta contains
n great banyan, now about a century
old, which has parent trunk AZ feet
in circumference, 232 root trunks
ranging from n few inches to q foot
around, with vast loaiv crown S57
feet in circumference. Near the hill
fort Wysatgarh, in the Bombay Presi-
dency is a bonyan whose top in 1882
measured 1887 feet in circumference.
Other specimens greatly exceed even
this prodigious size, single trees being
said TO cover thirteen acres. The
famous hanyan under which Alex
ander the Great stopped, on the banks
of the Nerbudda, once sheltered 1000
men, and when seen by Forbes a genera
ton ago, though much reduced in size
by floods, was still nearly 1000 feet in
circumference, and had moro than
8, 900 trunks -ArkanSaw zravelor.
