BURIED 80 YEARS IN A TREE
Telegram Bracket Completely In
closed In Wood 10 Found In
California.

Thirty-six years ago q telegraph
bracket and insulator was nailed to
Douglas fir tree near Arcata, Cal. A
few years later falling branch badly
damaged 1t and the wire which It had
been supporting was removed The
tree was growing thriftily, adding
every summer to its diameter a new
layer Of woody material and this
growth gradually pushed out around
the bracket on all sides, leaving 1t bur-
led In the tree trunk.
At the end Of 20 years the tip Of the
glass insulator finally disappeared
from sight and the only trace Of 1t that
could still be seen was scarcely mo-
ticeable lump which looked like moth
Ing more than a healed-over branch
stub. A few weeks ago the tree was
felled and the wood manufactured into
barrel slaves. The screech Of the saw
which happened to Craze the edge Of
the glass called attention to this un-
usual fossil"
On splitting open the stave bolt the
whole story became clear in all Its de-
tails. The clearly defined annual rings
of the rapidly growing trees form an
unlmpeachable historical record.
The wood Of the insulator bracket
Is still in good condition and the oak
Of which 1t was made has received an
unintentional preservative treatment,
being thoroughly impregnated with the
resin Of the surrounding fir. The In
teresting specimen can now be seen IN
