Woe betide the forest giant when
he falls into the clutches OF the clusia

and the roots flowing, as IL were,
down the trunk until they reach the

soft aud delicate. with apparently
no more power for evil than so many

scmble In their slowly flowing mo-
ton downward. Here and there they
branch, especially IL an obstruction
IL met with, when the stream either
changes its course or divides to right
and left.
Meanwhile leafy branches have
been developed, which push them
selves through the canopy above and
get into the light, where their growth
IL enormously accelerated. As this
takes place the roots have general y
reached the ground and begun to
draw sustenance from below to
strengthen the whole plant. Then
comes a wonderful development.
The hitherto soft aerial roots begin
to harden aud spread wider and
wider, throwing out side branches
which flow into and amalganate with
each other until the whole tree trunk
Is bound In q series of irregular liv.
ing hoops.
The stranger is now ready for its
deadly work. The forest giant, like
