OLDEST TREE IS ON cos
u Measures 80 Feet In circumference
and Is More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest trees In the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude of $50 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees OF California,
some of which are 276 to 373 feet In
height, and 10S feet In circumference
at the base. From measurements OF
the rings II Is believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree In the
world is said to exist on the island Of
Cos off the coast of Asia Minor. It is
several thousand years old, but Just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by
wall of masonry around 1t, and the
trunk is thirty 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 a thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and II is known that they have
been immersed In water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed In wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump.
many rotting in from five to ten
years, but when immersed In water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov
eminent to preserve woods indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from five 20 ten years
by this process.-Harper's.
