NATURAL HISTORY AND _.ANTI- QUARIAN SOCIETY.

The Y. M. C. A. parlor was filled

last evening to listen io a paper pie- pared by Mr. L. W. Watson discussing the incident of the tree grown in the tnroat of Mrs. Saunders, as related in the GUARDIAN in September last. Mr. Watson had beside him on the wall dia- grams showing the throat and passages to the stomach and lungs in the human subject. He told very clearly the story of thefinding of the tree as related by Mrs. Saunders herself, by her husband

land by Mr. Hughes, her father, both of

the latter being present at the meeting. Mr. Watson also showed to the meeting f the dried and mounted tree and leaves which he explained belonged to the orange or lemon family. He quoted many emident authorities to show that ‘ it was quite possible for seeds and other substances to become lodged in the oesophagus or the Windpipe, and that- seeds under suitable conditions may germinate and grow there. He con- sidered the' testimony of Mrs. Saunders, her husband and father, to be entirelv

reliable. and the story as__i;gla_t_ed_,”_

_ P0 In fact the light thrown upon' the_sub- ject by Mr. Watson from au anatomical and botanical point of view, while strictly impariial,tended very strongly

tocontiim th_e extraordinary story.

In the discussion which followed the

Presiden‘, Mr. John Newson, Dr. Beer. Dr. McLeod, Messrs. Bentley, Mc- Cready, Charles Palmer, McSwain and VV. P. Doull, with Messrs.Saunders and Hughesabovc referred to, took part. Mr. Watson showed great resources and information in his replies to the obj ee- tions raised and the questions asked. He argued that it was quite possible for the plant to have grown in Ms. Saunder’s throat slowly from the seed to the size it had attained, the stalk_ shooting upward, until it was polled out by the patient. Dr. McLeod found more dilficuliy in accepting the story than other speakers and while noi doubting the credibility of the witnesses thought there might be a possibility of mistake. '

There was the deepest interest

throughout the discussion and not the least so in the statement of Messrs. Hughes and Saunders, who,nexl to Mrs Saunders were the first to see the re- markable tree. All bore testimony to Mr. Watson’s; panstiking and in.

g P P S _ _

with with they had listened to its deli- very. A heai ty vote of thanks was ac- corded Mr. Watson on motion of Mr. _ McSwain, seconded by Miss Pippy. The next _paper will be read before the Society a fortnight hence by the Pre

l treat of a geological subject.
