Twists in Tree Trunks.

The lover of the picturesque IN ma
ture, be he amateur or professional ar
tist has always greatly admired the
gnarled and twisted trunks OF old trees
John Constable, the famous English
landscape painter, delighted In repro
ducing such old trees on canvass; the
sturdy oaks of his native land afford
ing him fine models. Equally successful
at slightly later period, were the two
French painters, Corot and Diaz, the
first of whom closely followed In the
footsteps of the Englishman.
Van den Broeck, the Belgian geolo-
gist, has come to the surprising cdR-
clusion that the curious twists OBJ
served in many tree trunks are pro-
duced by the earth's rotation. In sup
port of his theory he points out that III
conditions of growth> were the cause
the torsion should follow the earths
apparent path. But in at least $50 out
of 1000 trees he has found the exact
reverse to be the truth.
The twist of the tree trunk is usua-
ly to the left in the Northern HEM
isphere and to the right-as with the
clock-in the Southern Hemisphere,
like the turn of the cyclonic storms and
water worthless. This difference is due
to the eartf's rotation. Jean Brunhes
notes that it was shown some years
ago that the winds due to the earth's
motion blow steadily at a season when
vegetation is active and sensitive, and
a slight continuous bending and turn
ing then would be likely to affect the
tree permanently. In this theory, as the
reader will at once perceive, he con-
incides with the view advanced by Van
den Broeck.
