THE FOREST sTRAEGIBR.


From the Guiana Forrest
! \ Woe bctide the forest giant when
be falls into the clutches Of the clu.
sia or fig, its seeds, being provided
with pulp which is very pleasant to
the taste OF a great number OF birds,
are carried from tree to tree and de.
posted on the branches. Here 1t ger
inmates, the leafy stem rising upward
and the roots flowing, as itwere, down
the trunk until they reach the soil.
At first these aerial roots are soft and
delicate, with apparently no more
power for evil than so many streams
Of pitch, which they resemble in their
slowly flowing motion downward.
Here and there they branch, especial
ly ifan obstruction is met with, when
the stream either changes its course
or divides to right and left.
Meanwhile lcafy branches have been
developed, which push themselves
through the canopy above and get in
to the light, where their growth is
enormously accelerated. As this
takes place the roots have generally
reached the ground and begun to
draw sustenance from below TO
strengthen the whole plant. Then
comes Il wonderful development. The
hitherto soft aerial roots begin to
harden aud spread wider and wider,
throwing out side branches which flow
into and amalgamate with each other
until the whole tree is bound in a Sc
ries of irregular living hoops.
The stranger is now ready for his
deadly work. The forest giant, like
all cxogens, must have room to in
crease its girth, and here be is bound
by cords which are stronger than iron
bands. Like an athlete he tries to ex-
pahd and burst his fetters and if they
were rigid he must succeed. The
bark bulges between every interlacng,
bulges out and even tries to overlap,
but the monster has taken every pre-
caution against this by making its
bands very numerous and wide.
As The tree becomes weaker its
leaves begin to fall. and this gives
more room for its foe. Soon the
strangler expands itself into ii great
bush almost as large as the mass Of
branches it has effaccd. If we look
carefully around us as we see example
Of entire ohliteration-a clusia, or 1g,
standing on its reticulatcd hollow pill
lar with only heap of brown humus
at is base to show what has become
Of the trunk which once stood in all
its majesty on Chat spot.

most absolute certainty OF being
adopted by other states. that the bar-keeperS

raise million dollars to f,Iy judge or two.
