Rocks Rent By Growing Trees

There is a great natural cunosity at Garfield cottage, just a mile avvay, says a Hcthlehem (X. II.) correspondent of the Xew Haven Paladiura. In the side yard is an enormous bowlder which must weigh eitfht tons or more. It has been split by a live white birch tree wbicfa started life in a tiny cleft of this immense rock, sent down its shoota into the cortil, little by little widened the cleft, until nearly thirty years ago came the split, and one-third of the bowlder was pushed off by the tree, now of good size, but strangely twisted as to limba and trunk. In the same yard are four smaller trees in various stages of growth, some ha ving airead y started cracks in their rocky homes.
