Moody, a would-be matador, ran into the ring, produced a red cape, and dodged the animal for half a minute before being tossed over the bull's head. The regular matador, left, and others distracted the bull while Moody was removed from the ring. He sustained severe bruises. (AP WireDhoto). What's that again! ... A tree continues to grow as long as it is alive' although after it reaches a certain size depending upon the species and the food supply the rate of growth slows. But some trees continue to grow for thous ands of years. Perhaps the world's oldest liv ing tree is in the village of Santa Maria del Tule, Mexico. It is a bald cypress with a trunk diameter of 41 feet. Tree specialists have estimated its age at close to 5,000 years Some of the giant redwood' in California run it a close second they are estimated to be around 4,000 years. ALTHOUGH these giant red woods have raised their leaves higher than any other tree over 350 feet into the sky another plant has grown a longer stalk; the seawood. Some are said to be over 50 feet lone. Strictly speaking, the plants of the sea have no roots. After all, a true root must provide food for the plant. These ocean plants, be ing uninmseu m. wdici, units in their food by means of mouths in the stems and leaves. Nourishment, literally, is absorbed through the skin of the plants. As for the long, stalk reaching down to the ocean floor thai is merely a hold-fast attachment and serves not at all for supplying food. On land too there are plants without roots to take In food and. besides, without leaves to digest their food. These plants are lichen. Instead of roots.' the lichen has fil aments which ..are so tiny that (hey can even penetrate the spaces between tne oarticles tnat are ce mented together to form granite. And as for taking in food, the whole body of the lichen absorbs moisture and food from the air to gether with some chemicals from the rock. , Another plant. ) the mangrove, has roots which grow upside down toward the sun, actually out of tne soil -and into the air, THE MANGROVE grows In salty marshes which are covered with water when th tide is in. This means the roots are cut off lrom their air supply o they do $cafrttn'$ 0,""w'''', -vr-'-",": V7j A Great Whiskey with a Great Name. .. for a Great Day. . .

These have tiny minute breathing holes. The lir is conveyed through these to 'he spongy interior and through his spongy mass it descends to the roots which are enveloped with water. The bald cypress of our south land swamps solves its oxygen supply in yet another way. It also has a habit of growing in swamp land where the ground may be flooded at least a large portion of the year. What to do? To provide hreathine organs out of the water. it grows knees . which project up from the roots and above the sur face of the water. Through these knee-roots, it breathes. Better yet, there is a plant which grows a miniature, plant leaf, fftom. and root In the air on the edge of the leaves, while the leaves are still attached to ,t h e growing plant. The leaf of this "life plant" or "live-leaf plant" has sharp points along its edges and at each 'of these points the new miniature plant may develop. AFTER the young miniature has a complete set-ot roots, it arops tn the emunri. tn take root and grow. Or, should the parent-leaf break off, each litle plant growing around its edge will send its roots into the sou for moisture tnus starl ing a new family f life plants. Thi manffrovA -.does it vet 'an other way: long, heavy seedlings prnw on the branches of the par ent trees and then drop off when they are from 6 to 8 inches long. Most drop straight down into the mud atithe base of the parent mangrove or are carried a few feet away before lodging, to grow and branch and . in time trans form a solitary tree into a dense manerove forest. Or they may drop into the swirling water ofj high tide and be swept from tne parent thioKet far out to sea.
