Facts About Trees

The tallest trees IN the world are
the Australian eucalyptus, reaching a
total altitude of 4SO feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees of California,
some of which are 276 to 376 feet in
height, and 108 feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements of
the rings it IS believed that some of
these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree in the
world is said to be on the island OF
Kos of the coast of Asia Minor. L.
is several thousand years old but just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by a
wall of masonry round it, and the
trunk is 30 feet in circumference.
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today which are known to
be over 1000 years old. Piles driven
by the Romans prior to the Christian
era are perfectly sound today, and it
is known that they have been miners
ed in the water for upwards of 1000
years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in
water. They decay rapidly on the
ctunp INV rortiuu in from five tO
III years; hut when immersed in
water they last longer than iron or
steel. An effort is now being made
by the government to preserve woods
Indefinitely by treating them with oils
and tar products. Already telegraph
poles and railroad ties have had their
average life extended from five TO 10
years by this process.
