Said to Be a Huge Cypress Tree 6,260
Years Old.
St. Louis Globc-Democrat: The state
mcnt recently made that there are ycws
in England which are the oldest living
things on eaith,' Mr.. Thomas Z. ireland
said. lis not correct.
"Ihese yews are old, very old: there is
no doubt about that: some OF them were
stalwart trees even hnfore Caesar landed
on these shores. There IL one now stand
ing in the churchEard at Portugal, in
Perthshire, which Decandolc. nearly n
century ago. proved to the satisfaction of
botanists to he over twenty-five centuries
old, and another TT licdsor, in Buclas,
which is 3,2l0 years old. How lDccandolc
arrived at an apparently correct estimate
of the enormous age of these living trees
Is a simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless known today to all. The .ycw.
like most trees, adds one line about the
tenth on an inch. TO its circumference each
year. He proved this after an invcstiea-
ton extending over several years, and we
know now a hundred years later, that his
deductions We're correct. The old ycw at
Hedsor has n trunk twenty-seNcn feet in
diameter. proving its great age, and it
is in a tlourishing, healthy condition now,
like it's brother at Portugal.
Their years are few, though, compared
with those of the trees 1 had in mind whcn
/ made my first assertion that the state
ment printed about them in n scientific
journal was incorrect. In one chapter of
his writings Humboldt refers to II gigan-
tic boabab tree in central Africa, as tho
oldest organic monument in the world.
This tree has q trunk twenty-ninc feet in
diameter, and .Adanson, by Il series OF
careful measurements, demonstrated con
clusively that i: had lived for not less
than $3.50 years.
Still it is not the oldest organic monu
ment in the world, as Humboldt declared
for now Mexican scientists have proved
that q huge cypress tree, standing ii
Chepultepec, with a trunk lis feet ant
ten inches in circumference, is older thar
it-oldcr, too, by more than a thousand
~years-for it had been shown. as con.
clusively as these things can he shown
that its age is about ego years. To be.
come impressed With wonder over this
one has only to dwell on that duration
for a little while in thought.
Yet it is not SO remarkable when on.
stops for II moment to remember that
given favorable conditions for its growtl
and s~uStcnancc, the average tree will ncve,
die of old age-its death is merely an ac
cident. Other younger and more vigorou:
trees may spring up near it, and perhap.
rob its roots of their proper nourishmcnt
insects may kill it, floods or winds may
sweep it away, or its roots may come il
contact with rock and become so gnarlet
and twisted, because they have not room
TO expand in their growth, that they lit
orally throttle the avenues of Its susten,
ance; but these are accidents. If sucl
things do not happen a tree may live o.
for century after century, still robust, still
tlourishing, sheltering. with It's wide
spread branches, the men and women OF
age after age.
