The mountains . dividing and leading that main trunk to themselves, as is the case with other trees. The column rises witha true taper to its full height; then is finished withthe conical effect of the top of a monument.Strangely enough the frond is exceedingly fine, andthe cones small. When first you catch sight of a Sequoia, it doesnot impress you particularly except as a very finetree. Its proportions are so perfect that its effect israther to belittle its neighbors than to show in its truemagnitude.
