TRAVE

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 216 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRAVE , a river of north Germany, rising in the
Oldenburg
  principality of
Lubeck
 , between
Eutin
  and Ahrensbock. Flowing at first southwards through small lakes and marshes, it then turns west and, confined within flat and sandy banks, enters the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. It now bends due
south
  to Oldesloe, from which point it is navigable. Hence it takes an easterly course, and, entering the territory of the free city of
Lubeck
 , receives from the right the Stecknitz, through which and the Stecknitz canal built by the merchantsof Lubeck in 1398) a direct water communication is maintained with the Elbe, and passing the city of Lubeck discharges itself into the Baltic at the port of Travemunde after a course of 58 m. Its
lower
  course from Lubeck to the sea has been dredged to a depth of 25 ft., permitting sea-going vessels to lie alongside the wharves and quays.
TRAVELLER'S TREE, a remarkable tree, native of Madagascar and Reunion, with a straight
stem
  reaching 30 ft. in height and bearing at the top a number of large
long
 -stalked leaves which spread vertically like a fan. The
leaf
  has a large sheath at the base in which water collects in such quantity as to yield a copious
draught
 --hence the popular name. The plant is known botanically as Rarenala Madagascariensis and belongs to the same family as the
banana
  (Musaceae).
