ground undisturbed for several months
sprouted number OF young trees,

Travellers through the coast forests
have frequently observed the phenome-

growing OUT OF the bodies OF those that

perish aud decay. Some years ago a
newspaper correspondent reported the
strange phenomenon OF new redwood
growth on a bridge built of redwood
logs across Humboldt county stream.

felled so that the ends rested In the
soil on each bank. All along the upper
