Brazilian cocoanut palms live from

the age OF 200 to 500 years. Wallan's
oak, near Paisley, Scotland, is known
to be over 700 years old, and there
are eight olive trees on the Mount Of
olives near Jerusalem which are
known to have been flourishing In
1899. The yews at Fountains Abbey,
Yorkshire, were old trees when In
1882 the abbey was built, and a red
wood in Mariposa Grove. Cal. is

of Africa have been computed to be
