The dragon tree of Tenerife is per-
haps the ;straugest vegetable in the
world. Humboldt estimated one speci-
men to be 6,000 years old and other
dragon trees to have reached half that
age. 1t is thought to be kind of giant
asparagus, whose dead branches serve as
a support for the crowns. New roots as
they come ipto being encircle and con-
ceal the original stem, which is far away
inside. and the roots which become de-
tached from the stem may be seen hang
Ing, withered, in the upper tree The
trunk is generally hollow, and in the
case of an old tree, which pefished in
1867, there was a spacious chamber,
which served the natives as temple for
generations. Mass was afterward said
there by the Spaniards. The tree was
4S feet around and 90 feet high and is
supposed to have been originally watered
with dragons blood, which is the name
now given to the sap. This is regular
article of commerce and is especially
used for embalming.-St. Louis Globe
