A Tree on N SteepIe.

The spectacle of tree standing upon a
tower Of the Unitarian church In the city
Of Utica, n. Y, has aroused much interest
as well as discussion as to what is really
essential to plant life in order that devel
opment may continue.
This mountain ash has been growing
for 30 years upon narrow ledge OF sand
stone, sprouting from a joint in the ma
sonry less than an inch in width. The
main stem, just above the stone, at the
present time has diameter of 5 inches
The tree IL 15 or 10 feet In height, and
possibly feet across its widest part; the
branches are thick and numerous, and for
some years each autumn they have been
bright with the vivid scarlet berries pc
culiar to this species of tree.
Protruding from "a chink in n mortared
wall, az feet above the street, exposed to
the glare of the sun in the summer and the
frosts Of many severe winters, its roots
only having the mortared interstices OF
masonry through which To penetrate In
search of nutriment, the question may
well be asked, Where does this tree obtain
ehs elements that enter into the compost
tion Of all plant lifei Is it possible that It
II sustained like the known air plants, 10y
absorbing from the air and through its
foliage the elements upon which IL lives
and thrivesI Or does dust settle In the
