Text Appearing Before Image:
minedwithout counting the rings, butit is probably in excess of thirty-five hundred years. This looksback long before the beginningof human history. When Christwas born it was a lusty youthof fifteen hundred summers. There are many thousandsof trees in the Sequoia NationalPark which were growing thrift-ily when Christ was born; hun-dreds which were flourishingwhile Babylon was in its prime;several which antedated the pyr-amids on the Egyptian desert. John Muir counted fourthousand rings on one prostrategiant. This tree probablysprouted while the Tower ofBabel was still standing. The sequoia is regular andsymmetrical in general form.Its powerful, stately trunk ispurplish to cinnamon brownand rises without a branch ahundred or a hundred and fiftyfeet—which is as high or higherthan the tops of most foresttrees. Its bulky limbs shootboldly out on every side. ItsfoHage, the most feathery anddelicate of all the conifers, isdensely massed. The wood is almost inde-structible except by fire.
