THE OLD CAPITOL BUILDING.
From the Decaying Wall Young Tree
 Containing Birds Nest Is Growing.

Little Rock, June 5.-Few peo- nle in the state of Arkansas know there is a tree five feet high grow ing out of a wall of the old state house, but such is the case. The tree has been growing tor two years, but very few people have noticed it and not until few .days ago, when birds began building a nest in the branches did many of the state house officials know of the presence of the tree.
 The tree is thirty feet from the ground and the roots seem to have taken hold between the bricks and around water pipe on the east side of the north wing of the building. It is a cotton wood tree and sprang apparently from a seed which was blown into the cracks back of the water pipe. Dirt has lodged at this point and the water pipe leaks giving sufficient moisture and soil for the tree to thrive. The branches of the tree extend above the roof of the north wing of the state house and the tree appears to be in a healthy condition. State house officials who have
 watched the tree believe 1t will grow to ordinary size unless Ii breaks off and falls of its own
 we1ght. The cracks in the wall
 are large enough to let roots more than an inch thick penetrate into the interior of the building and l it IS believed these roots will be
 strong enough to hold the tree
 until 1t grows fifteen or twenty
 feet high.
