Trees Growing Of, q High Tower,

On the Courthouse tower in Greens.
burg, Ind, there is a grove O. trees
growing from che apex of the tower,
high above all other vegetation and
without apparent cause fer existence.
This is the only thing OF the kind, SO
far ss known, in the world. except in
England, where there is a single yew
tree growing from q parish church
tower, which has TO be constantly
watched and nourishel to prevent its
expiring. The existence Of the trees
on the Greensburg tower is very puz-
zling, owing to the fact that there is
none of their species within several
miles, and their place Of habitation is
entirely devoid OF soil. The building
was erected about thirty-iive years
ago. 1t stands III the center Of the
public square, on gradual elevation
reaching about fifteen miles around.
A grove OF maple trees surrounds the
building, making one OF the most beau
tlful parks to he found in the section.
Nature has, ever since the first tree
in this lofty grove, l67 feet above
ground, first made its appearance, Of
forded ample nourlshment to the roots
OF The trees. Creeping through the
narrow inter stices, between tho heavy
layers Of hard rock, the sprouts
flourish. Even during tho droughts of
recent years, when all vegetation in
the neighborhood was suffering and
dying, these trees continued to thrive,
Notwithstanding the fact that their
abode, devoid of moistnre and so high
in the air, was always hotter in the
heated season than that OF other yege-
tation, the large stones being occa.
Glonaliy so hot that the birds could
not alight upon them. The seeds of
these trees are like those Of the willow
and poplar, being small, with long,
silky down. 1t is supposed that the
seeds were carried by birds from some
distant place and dropped between the
rocks, where they grew in the limited
amount Of soil and drst gathered there
by the winds. The first tree appeared
on the uppsrmost part Of the tower
about the year 1865, and soon mani.
tested aspeedy growth. About year
after, on different part Of the tower,
a second one was observed to be grow
ing, being followed by another. The
roots wedged between the stone, the
growth continued until the largest at.
tanned height of twenty three feet,
and as they moved the stones consid.
erably, the trees were condemned as
serious menace to the structure, and
the two largest were removed. Now,
amid the moss and what little vegeta.
BILE matter can cling to the elevated
place, others have continued to sprout
and grow until danger to the structure
is again feared, and it is thought that
the time will soon come when they
will all have to be removed.
