miss Olney Gives entertaining- Talk
at .Library.
An intelligent and appreciative com
pany was in attendance at Miss Elizabeth
Olney's talk on the birds found around
Pinehurst, delivered in the Library room,
Tuesday evening. The speaker's enthusi
asm, ready wit and graphic descriptions
of interesting personal experiences won
her audience completely, and it is hoped
that other talks of a like character may
be heard. Miss Olney was assisted in her
talk by colored prints of some sixty va
rieties of birds, which were hung about
the room.
Many of the most ardent devotees of
bird study have planned trips afield with
Miss Olney for the purpose of a closer
study of the feathered song colony.
The Oldest Tree In the World.
The dragon tree of the Canary Islands
is notable for the existence of individuals
believed to be the oldest living vegetable
organism in the world. The age of one
tree, in particular, the once famous
dragon tree of Teneriffe, has usually been
estimated to be from four thousand to six
thousand years, having thus an antiquity
comparable with that of the Pyramids.
This wonder of the plant world was
seventy feet or more in height, and sur
vived intact until the year 1819, when
during a terriffic storm one of the large
branches was broken off. A similar storm
in 1867 stripped the trunk of its remain
ing branches and left it standing alone.
This tree derives its common name from
a reddish exudation known as dragon's
blood, found in the sepulchral caves of
the Guanches, and supposed to have been
used by them in embalming their dead.
It is said to have been at one time an im
portant article of export from the Cana
ries, and has never fallen entirely into
disuse.
