may be truly called THE giant Of the

forest.
The natives of almost all countries
have their sacred trees; the East Indian
has his banyan. the Congo African his
baobab. the South Australian his devil
tree, and the Cevlonese his DO tree. The
mystic rites performed under the sacred
shadows of the DO, perhaps, exceed in
heathenish solemnity anything known to
the tree worshipers of either Of the other
countries named.
The Oldest written description Of the DO
tree Of Ceylon known to exist is that by
the Chinese historian and traveller, Fa
Han, who visited it. in the year Ala a.
.. According TO the learned Chinaman
il was at that time 702 years DID, having
been planted by King Devinipiatissa in
the year 288, before our era.
In October. 1887, after having been
daily, one might say, almost hourly,
worshiped for 2.175 years. the sacred
10 met with u great calamity. For
months the island OF Ceylon had been
parched with drought. They had as
sembled by twos, tens, dozens and hum
dreds under its branches to pray for
rain, but all to no purpose. In dire ex-
tremity representatives from all parts OF
tile island gathered to the number of
many thousands and prayed to the tree
for lust one refreshing shower before
their withered bodies should perish for
want of water. Hardly had the lamen
tations extended throughout the length
ana breadth of the assemblage ere omi-
nous clouds began to gather and the fork
ed lightning to fit in all fantastic freaks
Imaginable. The thunder rolled, the
winds roared and the water poured. For
three whole days and nights the island
was overwhelmed with water spouts
and cyclones. Hundreds of blind dovo-
tees cling around the sacred tree and
we're killed or drowned during the COM
molten. For these many deaths there
.-as hi.l little mourning, however. Onthe
forming Of Oct. Z there was great grief
throughout the land, the sacred tree,
which had witbstood the cyclones which
1ad -oled over the island every year for
5wenty-one centuries, having succumbed
to this. the giant of them all. After a
,,ason of mourning, which was partici-
patcd in by the entire population, the
rec was cut into the lengths of human
LeiDgs, wrapped in white cloth and
rraDlated with as much formality and
,,onp as though each section had have
hean = member of the royal family. So
nerished the 10 tree, one of the most
wonderful natural growths in the world.
