SPECTATOR 'MATADOR' TOSSED TIJUANA. Mexico An Amprirnn rtntnr
Moody, 21, of San Diego, Calif., lies on the ground after being tossed by the bull when
ne enrerea tne duii ring auring tne tignts. 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

'.he next best thing they grow
heir roots upward. 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.
FISHY SHOT Stuart Post,
17, took a 5-iron shot at Hol
land, Mich., and groaned when
it landed in a pool of water.
But the shot caught a 31-ineH,
eight-pound pike as a prize, be
sides leaving an added stroke.
Make it a habit ...
