TREES THAT ROB THE SEA
NIpa Palma and Maneroves Of Sara
wax Successfully Employed as
Land Builders.

The river banks in Sarawak Brit
ish p~rotectorate in Borneo) are lined
with nipa palms and mangroves. AT
low tide you can see the mangroves
standing on trestles Of black woody
roots, looking like snakes writing in
the mud. Upon these pedestals crows
Of bright green leaves, thirty to
forty feet in height, form aquatic
forests at the mouth of the rivers all
along the coast. Each branch is
weighed down by fruit, which, when
ripe, drops into the mud and starts
a new tree.
The nipa palm has matted roots,
which easily retain the hotsam and
jetsam carried down by the ~unceasing
current of the waters, and it is an
angular fruit, which like that of the
mangrove, sinks into the mud, ger
inmates, and forms forests en- its
own account. The incessant action
of these encroaching trees adds con-
tinually to the land. Indeed, there are
certain aged natives who have been
heard to say that part of the coast
near Sirik, although exposed to the
constant surf of the northeast mon
soon. has encroached on the sea for
two miles or more during their life
time.
When the land reclaimed by the
mangroves and nipa palms becomes
drier the trees die and give place to
other tropical vegetation.-From the
