led tn the tree trunk. . , ,
At the end of 26 years the tip of the7
glass Insulator Anally disappeared
from sight and the only trace of it that '
could still be seea was a scarcely no
- liveable lump which looked like noth
ing more than a healed-drer branch
stub. A few weeks ago the tree was
felled and the wood manufactured into
barrel staves. The screech of the sow
which happened to graze the edge of
the glass called attention to this un
usual "fossil."
On splitting open the stave bolt the
whole story became clear In all Its de
tails. The clearly defined annual ring
of the rttpM!y growing trees form an
unimpeachable historical record.
The wood of the Insulator bracket
is still lu good condition and the oak
of which It was made has received an
unintentional preservative treatment,
Ileitis thoroughly Impregnated with the.
resiii of tlje surrounding fir. The In-,
teresting specimen can now be seen ln

vision at the Cnlversity of California.
