Up on the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands strik-
ingly curious tree, which attracts the
attention of every passer by. 1t stands
just in front of stable yard, and the
employees of the place say that dozens
of people come to them every week and
make remarks or ask questions about
the strange growth. From the thick
ness of the trunk at the base the tree is
probably about forty years old. but its
branches and foliage are new and fresh,
and look as though they were but the
growth of year or two. The trunk
runs straight from the ground to height
of about fifteen feet.
Above this for short distance is n
thick, globular mass of foliage, the
leaves appearing to grow directly out of
tho wood. Above this growth run NJ
three thick stalks or stuinps six or eight
feet high, also covered with dense
close macs Of foliage When tho tree is
vowed from The !ior;h side it presents 6
sterling resemblance to giant human
hand protruding from the earth. Tn,
three big stump3 1t the top represent
the three middle fingers, and upor
either side Of these can easily be seei
confgurations of the surrounding foil
age which correspond to the little fingel
and thumb.
The explanation Of the phenomenon il
curious one. Tho tree was once full
4 grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight OF some other disease and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the present
new growth developed. Philadelphia
