QUEENSLAND'S WATER TREES
Wise Provision of Nature That Is One
of the Curiosities of the
Region.

One of the curiosities in natural his
tory in the colony Of Queensland is
the provision by nature Of a supply Of
water in the roots of certain trees.
On these roots the aborigines former
Iy depended for their water for sew
eral months OF the year.
There are seyerGa kinds of trees In
Queensland from which water can
be obtained, including three species
OF eucalyptus, and the kurrajong. The
eucalypu consists Of a gum, which is
the largest Of the back country trees,
box and malice. The first named is
the most preferred, as yielding the
greatest quantity. This tree resem-
bles the red gum in appearance, the
leaves being a little narrower and of
a stlVery color. Il grows chiefly on
sandy or light loamy soil and throws
out numerous lateral roots at depth
OF about nine inches from the sur.
face Of the ground. The position OF
these roots was ascertained by the
blacks by repeatedly jabbing the
points OF a spear or sharpened stick
In the soft earth at distance Of about
six or eight feet from the trunk of
the tree. The soil was then removed
with wooden shovel for some 20
feet or more and the root cut OF at
either end. This was then cut I'D
into lengths Of about IS inches, the
bark knocked OF and the lengths stood
on end in some receptacle to contain
water. In many cases the blacks used
a bag made Of the entire skin Of the
male wallaby. AS soon as all these
pieces were placed on end the opera,
tor, beginning with the first placed,
put the end in his mouth, and by a
vigorous puff expelled the remaining
water. The size Of the roots chosen
was, with the bark on, about the thick
ness Of a mans wrist. The larger
ones being more woody and less por-
