rect number Of points, 1t was found

Speaking of freaks of nature, Mr..
George Wentworth stated to the REPoR-
TER few days ago that there are within
half hours ride of this village, two
cases where the limbs of trees have
apparently grown directly through SINH
lar trees standing close beside them.
One of these cases Is a maple tree on the
premises of Stanley Nay In Cornville, a
limb of which grew through another
maple tree that is very close to it. The
other is a beech tree on the back road to
Waterville, beyond the Capt. Tobey
farm that has at some time inserted a
limb through another nearby beech tree.
Mr.. Wentworth alluded to case of this
kind on the stage route between Bing-
ham and The Forks, which old time
stage drivers used to point out to pas
sengers as a curiosity, which it certainly
was. One theory is that the limb when
very small grew against the other tree
when that was likewise small and In
course of time the bark of each adhered
and grew out over the limb and after.
ward the wood grew over it until they
became firmly joined together.
