The Curious Dnnyan Tree.

Botanists long ago voted the ban
yam tree of India place in the catts-
logue of wonderful vegetable produc-
ton. In its infancy it resembles 9th
er trees in having a single stem or
trunk and a dense head Of foliage.
AS the tree increases in size, how
ever, the branches spread out hori'
zontally to such wondrous extent
that they would be unable to support
themselves had not nature come to-
the rescue with a remarkable provi.
sion. To supply the necessary sup
port the branches of the parent stem
throw out here and there small fibrouH
shoots, which immediately begin
growing downward toward the earth.
In a surprisingly short time they
reach the ground and take root and
gradually increase in size until they
sometimes rival the original trunk it.
self.
This new trunk, with its numerous
fbrous roots. renews tho whole hfe
of tho tree. Other new limbs and
shoots are rapidly thrown out until
finally what was originally a single
tree trunk becomes considerable
forest, each limb and shoot of which
are curiously connected. Dr.. Rox-
burgh. the great East Indian traveller,
says that Le has seen forests thou

Bacteria In the Soil.

Some Investigations carried out by
DR.. Alexander A. Houston of Eflin-
burgh respecting the humber Of bac-
terra in the soil at different depths
from the surface go to prove that
the micro organisms become less and
less abundant as the depth from the
surface increases. For example, the
average number of germs i'll gram
of soil examined, which was taken
from the surface, was l,6S7, 799. at
a depth of feet this average fell to
173,sO7, and at a depth of feet it
was only 4lo. These figures are in.
teresting and would tend to show
that at certain definite distance
from tho surface tho soil would be
