mystery was found in the heart of as oik from a tree of this kind a large block about eighteen inches in diam eter that had been knocking about in various yards and woodsheds was split up lately and in it was found an auger hole about three-fourths of an inch in size containing a bunch of human hair done up in a piece of paper the hair was near the centre of the block and fastened with a pine plug it was ap parently put in when the tree was quite small as the tree had grown over tne plug to the thickness of about four inches with the grain perfectly smooth and straight a natural curiosity was shown in a timber merchant's workshop this was the nesi and skeleton of a bird im bedded in a piece of beech the tim ber seemed quite sound all round the cavitv and there was no signs of any
