THE TAEEEST CONKS USUALLY STAND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE CENTER OE 



THE ERODED VAEEEYS, AS HERE 



This tall cone is still inhabited and has about eight stories. Evidence of thrift is seen in 

 the fruit spread out to dry in the sun on the floor of what was once an interior apartment. 

 In the course of time its exterior wall has rotted away, leaving a great hole in the otherwise 

 beautiful cone. The upper stories are given over to the pigeons, as may be seen from the 

 windows that are now walled in. This is true of its neighboring cone also.
