PHENOMENON.

CALCUTTA'S "WEEPING '

MANOGE- TREE.

In his interesting book, Physiology of the Ascent of Sap - Sir Jagadis Chunder Bosc refers to what he describes as "a very curious phenomenon"-the periodic "weeping" of an intact mangoe- tree in the suburbs of Calcutta, "This event," writes the author, "became to be regarded as an evil omen and thus roused considerable alarm among the people in the neighbourhood.?

"The particular tree is full grown and abort 39 feet high. The circumference is 38 inches, and the outspread branches with their numerous-leaves,' cover an area of about 90. Bq, metres. The exudation or weeping commences every day punctually att p.m. from a point high up in the tree. Thisweeping, so called is very copious at the beginning, the rate of fall of succes-. sive drops being once in two asconds; it gradually slows down; the intervals between successive drops come to be five seconds at 7 pm eight seconds at 3 pm, fifteen seconds at 4 p.m., and-150 seconds at 5 p.m.; after which the exudation comes to a standstill. The performance is repeated every day punctually 'at I'p.m., and with the same sequence.”

Sir Tagadis gives a scientific ex- planation for this phenomenon in the Hongkong police. His his book which, incidentally, is devoted to an account of expert house at No, 39, Wong Nei Chong mental researches on the much- Road, first floor, was raided by a debated subject of the physiology number of European detectives and of the ascent of sap, which lead to the conclusion that the ascent of the Chinese detective sergeant sap is not, ds is commonly held, a major.
