TREE THAT GIVES LIGHT

Among freaks of nature in trees
there stands conspicuous one known
as the Asiatic~ star tree. 1t is
enormously tall. growing to a
height of from sixty feet to eighty
feet, while from the ground up to
a distance Of about forty feet the
trunk is perfectly bare. From
that point there. spring a number
IF tangled limbs, which shoot out
clusters of long, pointed leaves,
and it is these, grouped toRether5
that emit at night a clear. phos-
phorescent light. This gives the
tree spectral appearance and is
very deceiving to travellers, who
frequently mistake the glow for
an illuminated window IF house.
The light is not brilliant, but is
of sufficient strength to allow of a
newspaper being read by it. 1t
