cracked in an attempt to render it still
Serviceable, by removing the cause of

removed to a lower position in the tower
and used only on occasions of public sor-

The largest tree in the world is In

in circumference at the base and 276 feet
high
The grove of largest trees in this coun-

The tree with the greatest spread of
limbs is the banyan of India. 1t is a
species of, fig and produces a fruit re-
sembling a red cherry. The branches
send shoots downward, which, when they
have rooted, become stems, the tree in
this manner spreading over a. great sur
face and enduring for many ages. One
has been described as having no fewer
than $50 stems equal to large oaks, and
more than 5000 smaller ones, cover ng
space sufficient to contain 1000 persons.
The branches are usually covered with
monkeys, birds and enormous bats The
monkeys eat both the fruit and leaves

gins on the ground. The seeds are de-
posted by birds in the crowns of palms,
and send down roots which embrace and

the different portions. The wood Of the
