denizens of mountains to tread with
their sure feet.

versatile Nnnrods to depict, but
CHANGED to be the helpless witness of an
encounter which was US fierce and ex-

1t was in De Gem Der last on the south
fork OF the Sinking Water river, Wyo.,
in what is generally known as the
ShosEone country, in company with a
party of jolly young civil and mining

The day was beautifully clear, and

side of the canyon close down by the
edge of the riv err, along which our trail
wound it was delightfully."- warm and
pleasant. The cliffs on the opposite
side were magnificent, both in height
and coloring, and we were enjoying the

horse and n pedestrian followed
The trail which they were on was at
least five hundred feet above the bot
tom of the canyon, and after Slight
jog the cliff again rose in another
terrace which reached, in an unbroken
face, for the remainder of its sheer
height

was in advance. That's about as

rather embarrassing, eh?"
Yes; especially as the fellow has

through my glass this fact, which had

A Birch Tree...A Mystery.

Agricultural Editor: Between Water
bury and MiddleseX there is a small
mountain called the Hog-back. Through
this there is a depression which is
called the Notch, and through this there
is maintained road connecting the
two towns. On the east side of this
notch, next MiddleseX, on the right
hand side of the road as we pass from
Waterbury to Middlesex, there is
ledge which is nearly upright or per-
pendicular, falling back a little. On
this ledge there is a depression of be-
tween one and two feet running back
into the hill. From the bottom of this
depression to the earth, at the foot of
ledge, is seven feet. Here stands a
living birch tree in this depression in
the ledge, at its brink, or in the soil
below q do not know which), seven
feet down. Where did the tree start,
on the ledge or seven feet below? This
is the mystery. | think it will require
a botanist-an eXpert-tO correctly de-
eide. The part of the tree below the
ledge is two feet in diameter, and the
tree above the ledge is the same. Is
this part of the tree below the ledge the
stem, or is ii root? This depression
or cavity in the ledge is filled by big
root, filling the cavity and more. Be-
ing confined at its sides, the root is now
some three feet in perpendicular diam
eter. This cavity, at the left of the
root, is so near the end of the ledge
that the yearly growth of the root pro-
duces pressure that is crushing this
part of the ledge so that in a few more
years several hundred pounds of stone
must fall off. This tree has one main
root starting from the tree, and possibly
it has two-which? The root running
back into the hill have traced fifteen
feet. This is the first time public at
tention has been called to this tree.
Now no doubt many will visit it, as it
stands within three or four rods from
the road, and is plainly visible.
