ABOUT COCOANUTS
CocOanuts generally grow at the
edge Of seas or rivers and many of
the nuts as they become ripe fall into
the water. The nuts are covered
with a thick husk, which has a wa
terproOf covering, so that they will
float. AS they float, writes a ma
turalist, the three eyes, which are
all at one end of the nut, are always
on the top. Once in the water, ma
ture goes to work. From one of the
eyes there comes a shoot that sends
forth broad leaves that act as sails.
The wind catches these sails and
watts the cocoanut on a journey that
may be many miles long. AS it sails,
the other two eyes send out roots,
which at first grow among the fibres
Of the woody husk. In time the
cocoanut is swept on another shore,
perhaps on another island. The roots
imbed themselves in the soft earth,
the sail becomes the trunk, and very
shortly a thrifty cocOanUt palm is
growing where none grew before.
