The Age Of Trees.

What is the average life of forest
tree growing under favorable normal
conditions? Also of fruit trees? Diff
ferent kinds of forest trees have diff
ferent laws of life and there is no law
of averages except that hard wood
trees live longer than soft wood ones
Trees with soft wood. such as poplars
and willows, last for about fifty years;
oaks and elms much longer. Esti-
mates of the age of some large trees
range from about 800 years in the case
of elns, to 5000 to 5000 years in the
case OF the sequoia gigantica of Cali
fornia. These estimates are based on
the number of rings in the body of
tree which are supposed to indicate
annual growth, but this is not a very
safe criterion. A writer who had made
a study of Rocky Mountain trees from
their stumps or sections of the trunks,
says: Two of the yellow pines showed
25S annual rings. All carried fire
scars received in the year 1881. APP
parently then the stumps had been
dead and weathering since 1891" This
writer discusses the ability of pine
trees to survive forest fires and tells of
a California redwood tree. This tree
was felled few days ago. Its trunk
was cut to pieces and studied by sci
entific men, who, from the number of
its annual rings. found the year of its
birth. and also deciphered the dates of
the various experiences the tree had
had with fires. This patriarch had
stood 300 feet high, was sound to the
core and had lived through 2171 years.
It's existence began in the year 271
B. c. Its scars showed that it was
badly burned again in A. D. 245, in
A. D., 1441. and in A. D., 1892. But it
survived these fires and was cut down
in 1900. No doubt there are many
trees now flourishing on the earth that
are anywhere from 500 to 1000 years
old. In the absence of any statistics
regarding the age of fruit trees we
should like to receive authenticated
statements concerning unusually old
apple trees still in bearing.

The Maid Of the Mist.

Did the old Maid of the Mist make
a regular business of running through
the rapids below Niagara falls? What
became of her? Did any person ever
successfully shoot the rapids ?-The
old Maid of the Mist" never passed
the Whirlpool rapids but once. She
was built originally to cruise about in
the comparatively quiet water at the
foot of the falls. Becoming involved
in debt and being threatened with
seizure. her owner tried to escape with
her through the rapids and did SO,
though she was badly battered and
lost her smokestack This happened in
1864 and she never tried to ascend the
rapids. The name, given by Sir Wal
ter Scott to the heroine of Anne of
Geierstein," has been taken by sue
ceding boats which cruise about the
foot of the falls. Several persons have
battled successfully against the rapids
below the falls, and many have per-
ished in the attempt Several years
ago a woman attempted to pass
through the rapids in a specially con-
structed barrel and after being buff
feted around for several hours was fin
ally rescued. Perhaps the most sue
cessfuly trip was accomplished Sep
tember 10. 1910, when Captain Klaus
Larsen of Cleveland passed through
the whole series of rapids. including
Whirlpool rapids. the rapids proper
the Whirlpool and DEVILS hole, in ar
etghteen-foot motor boat. He went
for the Maid of the Mist landing on
the Canadian side to point about a
mile above Lewiston. About halfway
down water found it's way under the
flywheel of the engine and was
splashed over the unprotected spark
plugs, causing a short circuit and kill
ing the engine. From this time on the
boat drifted and the fact that she
came through is attributed to her con-
crete ballast and the seamanship of
her pilot
