It IL easy. therefore. for us to be-
lieve that very large trees are very
old. Some Of the great trees In Cal.
ifornia have been cut down to make
grapevine stakes, and on their stumps
the rings have been counted. On one
the number rises to 1900. Nay, more.
John Muir tells us that in the Kings
river forest he counted 1900 rings on
q single stump!
But the oldest tree on the continent
is thought to be the Oaxaca cypress.
The circumference of the tree Is given
at 112 feet as the minimum. Putting
the annual increment in diameter at a
line q year. which Is certainly far In
excess Of the truth. we have 5.124
years as the age Of the Oaxaca tree.
To appreciate this let any one get down
his history Of the world and see to
what date this number carries him
back in historic time.
Perhaps the most curious and Won
derful illustration Of the longevity OF
trees is that referred to by DR.. Gray
in his essay on this particular subject.
A dragon tree stands on the island OF
Tenerife which has been known and
made matter Of record since 1902. Its
structure Is different from that Of our
common trees and its growth exceed.
ingly slow: in fact, in the 500 years
since its discovery 1t has changed al
most not ut all. In the year 1919 1t
was badly wrecked by storm and once
again in the year 1869. But 1t still
continues to grow. its surviving
branches "stil annually crowned. rs
they have been each returning au
tumn perhaps for hundreds OF centu'
ries, with its beautiful clusters OF
white lilylike blossoms. emblems of
the eternal youth Of nature"
Hundreds of centuries" means
very old tree, no doubt far SURPRISING
in rge any other living thing upon the
plnnet. Our California giants are old.
but forty-five centuries doubtless tran
scend the springing Of the Oldest: the
expresses of Mexico are old. but fifty
centuries measure the antiquity OF
these. The dragon tree alone is per.
ennial, approximating the immortality
which the structure Of our ordinary
trees suggests, but never may secure.

HERE AND THERE.

Organized labor, which gained ire
mendously in prestige by the arbitration
of the coal strike, is in danger of losing
all it has gained by few foolish acts.
In Schenectady, y. Y, the labor unions
not only unsuccessfuily attempted that
Ubiquitous and ineffective measure, a
boycott, but they went so far as TO ex-
pei a member because he was a member
of the National Guard of the state. The
only excuse for this latter action is that
the militia may be called out on account
of the disorder and lawlessnesS conse-
quent upon a strike, and the labor union
thus puts itself on record as disapprov-
ing of that agency for the suppression of
lawlessness. Every one with mOdicum
of common sense ought to know not
only that to take such a position is
practically condOning lawlesSness, but
that il is also the worst possible policy,
considered with regard to its effect upon
the public mind. 1t should be said that
the prominent labor leaders do not APP
prove such action; but lack of approval
Is not enough, it should be condemned
outright by all who have the good of
organized labor at heart.
