An extraordinsry discovery. and one
which is just NOM exciting considerable in
terest in antiquarian circles in Lancashire
and Cheshfre;.. has been made at Stock

immense branches. Professor Boyd Daw-

prehistoric times, and he says that the
tree Is certainly 10000 years old. The cor
poration of Stockport Is at loss what to
do with the gigantic fossil, which is sup
posed to weigh about forty tons,
