trunk. one may see a small tree grow
ing. like a limb, from the fallen trunk,
and extending at an angle toward the
upright tree by which the man is
standing. This is the smallest of the
family of eleven, and must therefore
be considered the most recent to make
a start in life.
The tree by which the man stands
was originally an individual growth.
1t was on the spot when the wind
storm occurred, undoubtedly, and it's
participation on the TRANCE family
group was brought about by a break
ing of the bark, as in the case of the
large tree at the extreme right. In
falling, the tree which spreads across
the picture, evidently scraped the bark
of this one. and its own bark as well.
The fallen tree then rested against
the other and n callus was formed,
the healing of which ultimately caused
the mechanical union of the two.
Whether this union has become as
complete as that with the larger tree
at the right is somewhat doubtful, out
at any rate the two are Joined togeth-
er like Siamese twins. and will so re-
main so long as the two shall live.
Immediately to the left of his juno
tion-point may be seen a tree with
three small trunks, dividing almost at
the point at which the growth issues
from the parent trunk. h is prob
ably the next to the youngest of the
offspring of the fallen tree.
Just to the left of this is a sapling,
perfectly straight and upright. which
apparently comes mex in point of age.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-08

complete union of the fallen tree and
its upright neighbour. just as twiss
become a part of a strange tree
ess of the years caused the scars to
become overgrown with calluses and
new bark, and the completeness OF the
union in recent years is clearly illus
trated in the picture.
A curious phase of this natural
grating is the enlargement in the
trunk of the upright tree, caused by
the addition of a new source of sup
ply for life-giving sap. The diameter
of the trunk above the junction is
almost twice as large as below that
point. This. of course, is due to the
fact that the upper growth represents
the development of two trees, with
two perfect root systems, while the
growth below the junction is nour-
ished by a single set of roots. Scien-
lists have noted this enlargement with
much interest.
Nine Trees From One
The union of the PROSTATE tree
with it's upright neiGhbor is by no
means the only striking feature of his
remarkable development. From left
to right in the picture there may be
counted no less than ten trees of up
right growth, all connected with the
fallen tree. and nearly all of them
dependent on it for a living. Count
ing the PROSTATE tree, the
ton shows that no less than clever
trees had their places in life deter
mined for them by the windstorm
which started this cycle of woodland
freaks. Nin of these are actually
growing from the fallen trunk itself,
and depending on it's roots for nour-
ishment.
Starting from the right, at a point
about halfway between the man and
the tree with the enlarged upper
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-08

Missouri. At the ground these trees
are about two feet apart. They start
ed as separate trees and 1t was not
until after many years of growth that
the union occurred which made them
into a single tree. The point OF
junction is about twenty feet above
the ground, and from there the two
grow as one.
A tree of normal growth for It's
kind, but of a freakish kind. is the
one shown in the picture in which
the dome of the United States Capitol
appears in the background. This tree
is a peculiar member of the pine fam
lily, and its native home is Chile. 1t
is known as the Monkey Puzzle Tree,
because 1t has been said that its
crooked and twisted branches make 1t
a puzzle for monkeys to climb. Some
scientists say that the name Is mac
curate, as there are no monkeys in
the trees Chilean habitat, but this
in no wise changes the strange ap-
p~earance Of the tree itself. If a mon
key Is not. puzzled by such a tree it
should be.
A Man Made Freak
A tree freak in the creation of
which man and nature Joined hands
is the tree with a water faucet, shown
in one of the pictures. This Is known
as the coax Tree Fountain and 1t
was the result of a combination of
circumstances. Through the operation
of the processes of decay a consider
able cavity had developed in the lower
part Of the oaks trunk a number of
wears ago. The presence of this
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-08

A few feet away, near the center of
the group, is a much larger tree with
its trunk divided into two stems some
distance from the ground. This was
an early growth, and it is now a well
developed tree. At it's left is a young
sapling, with straight stem, and to the
left of this is a tree with trunk di-
vided so as to form a letter "y', which
is probably next in age to the center
tree. The "v" shaped tree to the left
of this M apparently next in
point of age.
AT the extreme left is the eldest
brother of this strange family of Elms.
This tree has trunk almost as large
as that of it's PROSTATE parent. AS the
first born, and because of it's location
nearest the roots, this tree has had a
chance for sturdy growth and full de-
velopment. Above its junction with
the parent stem there is nothing to
indicate hat it is not a tree among
trees, with it's own root system pene-
trating the soil of Mother Earth.
This photograph was taken by r.
A. Young, specialist in plant introduce
ton. United States Department Of
Agriculture. Mr.. Young was piloted
to the tree by S. E. Simonson, of
Luxora, Arkansas, who is given credit
for the discovery of this amazing
freak.

The Grape Tree
Even grapes grow on some trees
which shows hat not all strange trees
are accidental. From the North
American standpoint one of the
strangest OF trees OF normal growth Is
the one which is called the Brazilian
grape. and which takes the place OF a
grape vine in Brazil. AS pictured
herewith this tree looks as IL It were
badly infected with some scale or al
least a bad attack of skin disease
Quite the contrary is true. for this
specimen is in perfect health. To the
scientist the tree and its fruit are
known as the Jaboticaba. To the rest
of us grape tree is a good enough
name, and 1t is as Brazilian grapes
hat the fruit is sold on the markets
of Rio de Janeiro and other South
American cities. The wart like for
nations shown in the picture are the
grapes. These grow on the trunk OF
the tree instead of on tw!gs. Each
grape has its individual stem, like q
leaf stem, about half an inch long
and growing from the back. The
grapes grow in groups, but not in
clusters or punches, and to gather
them 1t is necessary to pick them of
singly.
The Brazilian grape Is purple In
color, with white pulp and very Juicy.
It is spicy in favor. resembling our
s~cuppernong. In size 1t ranges from
one-half to three-quarters of an inch
in diameter. Brazilians eat them as
we eat Concords and other native
North American grapes. and they also
make them into an excellent jelly. A
few specimens of this tree are now
growing and bearing in Florida.

A Family OF Trees
Human agencies are not always nee
essary to the creation of freaks in
trees. Arkansas boasts one of the
queerest examples of tree growth ever
discovered, and one of the striking
phases of this case is hat each one
of the strange features may be ex-
planned as being due to the operation
Of natural laws.
This tree-or family of trees. per-
haps. is more accurate-had it's
strange career mapped out for 1t by
the forces of nature something like
fifty years ago. AS a result of a heavy
windstorm, presumably. n Rock Elm
was uprooted and blown down. This
elm IS still alive and the head Of a
large family. In the accompanying
picture it is shown, lying as it fell
half a century since.
In falling, the trees upper part
struck and lodged against another elm
shown at the extreme right in the
picture-and landed with such force
as TO break the bark of both of the
trees. These wounds were pressed to-
gether by the weight of the fallen
tree, causing an interchanging flow of
the sap OF the two. In a short time
this resulted in the formation of n
