A Strange "God Tree"

What Is a god tree? Nobody knows
or had ever heard of such a thing un-
til, not long ago. an chronological ex-
plorer came across quite lot OF them
on certain little known islands along
the west coast of Sumatra.
The god tree is carved out Of wood.
with curiously fashioned branches Of
the same material. On these branches
are hung strings Of bright colored bits
Of cloth and tiny baskets filled with
grains Of rice. The whole affair is
not more than three feet high.
According to the belief Of the ma
tives Of the islands aforesaid, a god
lives in the tree. He is not a partic-
ularly good sort of divinity and. If he
takes a notion to leave the tree he is
liable to do folks mischief. The
best way to persuade him to stay at
home in the tree is to make the latter
attractive by adorning it in the man
ner described and by supplying rice
In baskets for the god to eat
The god is household god and the
tree which he inhabits is kept in q
corner of the family dwelling.
