THE OLDEST LIVING THING.
Said to Be Huge Cypress Tree 6,20O
Years Old.

'The statement recently made that
there are yews in England which are
the oldest living things on the earth,
Mr.. Thomas G. Ireland. said, sis not
correct.
"These yews are old. very, very old;
there is no doubt about that; some of
them were stalwart trees even before
Caesar landed on these shores. There
is one now standing in the churchyard
at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which De
candole nearly century ago proved to
the satisfaction of botanists to be over
twenty five centuries old, and another
at Hedsor, Buclas, which is 8 200 years
old. How Decandole arrived at an ap-
parently correct estimate of the enor-
nous age of these living trees is a SIM
pie thing. and the principle is doubt
less we'll known today to all. The yew,
like most other trees, adds one line,
about the tenth of an inch, to its Cir
conference each year. He proved this
after an investigation extending over
several years, and we know now, 100
years later. that his deductions were
correct. The old yew at Hedsor has
a trunk twenty seven feet in diameter.
proving it's great age, and it is in
fourishing; healthy condition now, like
it's brother at FOrtingal.
"Their years are few, though, COM
pared with those of the trees l had in
mind when made my first assertion
that the statement printed about them
in scientific journal was incorrect.
In one chapter of his writings Hum.
boldt refers to gigantic boabab tree
in Central Africa as the oldest organic
monument in the world. This tree has
trunk twenty nine feet in diameter,
and AdamsOn, by a series of careful
measurements demonstrated conclu.
sively that it had lived for not less than
5, $50 years.
''Still it Is not the Oldest organic
monument in the world, as Humboldt
declared, for now Mexican scientists
have proved that huge cypress tree,
standing in Chepuitepec, with trunk
11S feet and 10 inches in circumference.
is older than it-older, too, by more
than 1000 years-fOr it has been shown,
as cOncl usivcly as these things can be
shown, that it's age is about 6, 200 years.
To become impre ressed with wonder
over this, one has only to dwell on that
duration for little while in thought.
'Y ct it is not SO remarkable when
one stops for moment to remember
that, given favorable conditions for it's
growth and sustenance, the average
tree will never die of old age-its death
is merely an accident. Other younger
and more vigorous trees may spring
up near it, and perhaps rob it's roots of
their proper nourishment; insects may
kill 1t, floods or winds may sweep it
away, or its roots may come in con-
tact with rock and become so gnarleG
and twisted, because they have not
room to expand in their growth, that
they literally throttle the avenues of
it's sustenance; but these are accidents.
If such things do not happen tree
may live on for century after century,
still robust, still flourishing, sheltering
with it's wide spreading branches the
men and women of age after age. y
