GIANTS OF THE FOREST. TIIK ENORMOUS REDWOOD TREES OF CALIFORNIA. Great Size Wiiic'i Tlicy Attain—Stnmpi on Whi<!h Quadrilles Are Danced- A Big Lumber Yard ii> .Single .Specimen —Their Value Increasing. t y VARIOUS ports of California— and in that StaU rjjafl only there art J! groves of the se quoia, or redwood, , the value of which is becoming more and more generally known oach year, k says the San Fran cisco Chronicle. A great deal has been written regarding the beauty and util ity of the lumber cut from those trees, aud figures have been given to demonstrate the great size many of them attain. And still, beyond the facts that there are those standing through the trunks of which a coach and four is driven, others on the level stump of which quadrilles are danced, ami others that tower 100 feet into the air, no description of the magni tude of the greater number of the trees: found in the redwood forests will convey a better idea of their actual bulk than a brief sketch of what was lately done with one in the heart of the Big Basin, Santa Cruz county, by a party sent in there to fence in a large area. All of those hired were experienced workmen, and the work of establishing a permanent camp was quietly undertaken. A tree already lying on the ground was selected as being straight grained and of good size. It was about 10 feet through THE BURNT TREE, at the base aud 8 feet in diameter at the other other end of tne trunk, 100 feet away. There was already a cabin on the site selected for the camp, so the first thing done was to build a corral for the horses. For this stakes wore wanted. With the cross-cut saw a section of the trunk 8 feet long was cut off and quar tered. These quarters were then split into slabs throe inches thick and these slabs again split into stakes three inches square. As fast as these were sharpened they were driven six inches apart on the four sides of the square laid out, and in a short time an inclosure measuring forty feet on each side was made. On one side an annex for hoy and grain was built twenty feet wide. About 500 stakes were thus used, which was about one-third of the uumber split out of the first cut, The next cut was 12 feet long and wns split up into "slats 1 ' six inches wide and one inch thick. The second cut made about as many slats as the first did stakes. The slats were nailed as a ribbon or rail all THE CABIN, 810 BASIN CAMP. around the two corrals, which were then nearly finished. To complete them a gate was made to each one, the "swing*" post to which being hinged in primitive style. The upper end of this post, being rounded, was passed through a "fork" cut from an oak branch, while the lower end, bluntly sharpened, was set on an oak block slight ly hollowed out. The line of stakes between the two cor rals was cut down to about four feet in beighth and a row of stakes set slanting in the stock side. These were then lined and fioored with slats, and thus a feed rack wus made in a short time. The cabin in which the cooking was done and meals eaten was made entirely from redwood, there being used in it about fifty slats, besides joists, plates, tie beams, etc,, all split from a tree. The roof was couerea with "shakes.'' These are made three feet long, six inches wide, and one-quarter of an inch thick. On the roof of the cabin and the kitchen about 2,000 were usod. One side of the cabir. being cut out, a fire place was built, the adobe for lining it being made from the THE GIANTS* CLUB. stiff, black soil mixed with water. The chimney of this fire place was of slats set on end and the wet naobo was kept in place by a line of redwood, which is slow to burn when green. Besides, a small fire only was needed mornings aud evenings, the day being hot Now that the cabin, corral, etc., were finished the balance of the time could be utilized in various ways. Out of the trunk could be made over 200,000 shakes, worth SOOO on the ground, or 50,000 slats or stakes, or about 8,000 railway tieo. From a single tree—not an exceptionally large one—J 20 cords of wood have been cut, making over I5,i)00 cubic feet of wood, and this without utilizing much of the timber ati.ong the branches ana verj few of the branches themselves. In the Big Basin, where these notes wen made, there are thousands of trees tha will measure 10 feet in diameter, hundred# of others ranging from 12 to 15 feet, and not a few having a base of 17 to 18 feet One, the "Ooliatb," is a solid tree measur ine 28 feet through at the ground. 20 fee. at 5 feet above the spreading base, and 17 feet still higher up. This tree is now 200 feet in height, the lower half of the trunk being free from branches. It has boen estimated that Its weight is about 100,000 tons, and that It would make 1,500,0U0 feet, board measure, of clear lumber, the branches and top piling up 100 cords of wood. The lumber, shakes, stakes, etc., from s good-sized tree nave sold for over SfoOl), the man who got out the material being paid !jSi iO for his labor. The Big Busin trees are as yet inaccessi ble. That is, they are too far from any railway to be marketed profitably now. But their value increases every year, and THE PINE OAK. before many years tbey will bo cut for the lumber tbey afford. It is to be hoped that before that time comes the heart of the basin may be set aside as a natural park for the benefit of the present and succeeding generations. Farmer Hell. Farmer Bell did not believe in men tal or moral sugar plums in his own family circle. He was quite willing to commend friend or family acquaint ance, but he had a theory that his own family would be best improved by a Spartan discipline. The children must learn to do their duty without praise, and as for his wife, she had toiled for fifteen years without having once been told that she was a satisfactory house keeper. One night the two cqpie home from a tea party at a neighbor's house, and Mrs. Bell, with the courage of the meek, said: "Ezra, seems to me I heard you prais ing the mottoes the Smith girls worked ?" "Yes, I did," said Mr. Bell. "Real pretty they were for such nonsense." "l'our own girls have made some just like 'em. It'll tickle 'em to death. And didn't I hear you say that squash pie for supper was powerful nice?" "Well, Mirandy, 'twas a good pie." "Was it a mite better'n mine, Ezra?" "Well, no, I can't say, as 'twas." "When have you ever said one word to praise a pie or cake I've set afore you ?" "Maybe I ain't praised ye much, Mi randa, hut then I ain't complained." "Y'es, you have," said Miranda. "Yes, you have! Saying nothing is complaining, sometimes. It's just like pushing a heavy load up hill, besides what ye have agreed to carry, to go along day after day and not hear a word of praise." Ezra began to think, and, although he by 110 means changed his spots en tirely, he did from that time try to act on the theory that "woman folks" aro fond of commendation. Where He Was From. When Thomas H. Benton wai on his way to liis first seat in Congress, he, with a large number of other members, stopped at a wayside inn for a relay of stage horses—it being before the (lavs of railways. The members began teil ing from whence they came, and ex changing anecdotes about their States. Young Benton was silent during all the evening. Just before they began to retire, some one asked Benton why he didn't talk. He said he didn't know much, and had nothing to talk about. This caused a laugh, and an old mem ber asked him where lie was from, and if he was ashamed of his State. "No," answered young Benton; "but I don't think you will care to hoar where lam from." "O, out with it. Don't be ashamed." "Well, then, I'm from Arkansas. Now laugh, evorvouo of you blank fools." It is needless to say thov all laughed, but young Benton was voted to be the lion of the assembly from then on.— Chlcayo Ledger. A Sweet, Confiding Creature. "George, dear," said a young wife, looking up from the paper slio was reading. "I see that people are carry ing chestnuts in their pockets to cure rheumatism." "Yes, dearest." "Is it_ customary to carry things in the pockets to cure diseases?" "It depends upon whether the person afflicted is superstitious or not." "Because, when sewing 011 a button, it was your vest, I think, I discovered a quantity of cloves, coffee beans, and cardamon seeds in the pockets. Do you carry them as a remedy ? Is there anything the matter with you, dear?" "Ye—es, my dear," said George, stammering and turning as red as a lxiilod lobster, "I—l—the fact is, X—l —think I've got a little heart trouble." "I'oar fellow," she said as the tears camo to her eyes, "and you uevor told me a word about it." Selah! Parasites of the Blood. Home years ago a Russian observer discovered in the blood of birds living organisms strongly resembling those existing in the blood of persons attacked by malarial fever. It has since been found that these minute parasites are much more common than was at first suspected. Cold-blooded animals are especially liable to them, and the earnivora more so than other warm-blooded animals; but it is only rarely that they seem to cause incon venience, and in only four or five out of three hundred birds examined did death result in consequence of lesions produced by the parasites. In those cases the symptoms were identical with those observed iu victims of ma larial fever. A Proverb Well Indorsed. "Remember, my boy, that time is money, and you must use it to the best advantage," said Parrott to his nephew, at the conclusion of ail hour's harangue. "I will try to," replied the scape grace.

The clock shown is a very flfte specimen of the modern French clock make, by Chaumant, Paris. It was constructed to the order of Dr. Swaim, of panacea no toriety. Indeed, for that matter, it was made under Dr. Swaim's own supervision, and it may not be amiss to add that the doctor himself was a very fine mechani cian. Few clocks perform their function of time-keeping equal to this exquisite specimen of modern horological elegance, having a rate inside of two minutes in a year. It is a calendar clock, and shows the day of the week and month, making the proper changes for leap year, and showing twenty-nine days on bissextile years.

The material < lapis lazuli) is what the imperishable Ultramarine blue is made from; the only color known to artists on which time has no effect. Thi9 sunstance, as a raw material, is worth its weight in gold, commercially, and when we come to add the value of labor skillful enough to fashion and combine the numer ous pieces of selected stone to construct a clock case fully eighteen inches high by twelve broad we can roughly estimate the value of such a gem of hofologica) treasure. The stone is very rare/ and, while not being as valuable as the blue sapphire, is still more of a curiosity. It only reveals Its peculiar beauty on closo scrutiny—an innumerable galaxy of golden stars lloat ing in an azure vault being then percep tible. This appearance is due to small particles of iron pyrites embedded in the crystalline mass. The movement is a fine one, .of the modern French pattern, and good for several hundred vears service.

The scientists tell us that in many fishes no trace exists of an organ of hearing; that the tympanum, its rarity I and the external paris of the ear are ! entirely al s nt; that in o hers this org in j is only imperfectly developed, and that i in the remaining few, such as the shark, ! the shad, herring and others, there is an ' odd connection between the organ of i hearing and the air bladder. With ! these crude fa ts before him, the ichthy ologist leaves the angler to work out the | answer to the qu< stion, "Can fish hear?" wliioh is a most practical one to the car* fill angler in his pursuit of the educated game fish of our inland waters. We sura up briefly the conclusions of an old black bass angler 011 this sub ject. Fish hear no sound originating in the air. j Place a cannon upon an India-rubber carriage, sufficiently large and elastic enough to deaden, when fiied, nil con cussion upon the ground, and Mr. Fish, ! after the explosion, will be as placid in I his pool as a gourmand after dinner. But, step as lightly as one may upon I the margin of a stream, and the fish will scatter like shot from the shallows where | they are feeding or frolicking. The j larger the fish and the lesser the depth j of water the greater and wilder the scat ! taring will be. j Security seems to lie with them in the ! relative depth of the pools, as the step of the angler only dis'urbs them in a foot or two of water. A fish lying in a hole three or four feet deep, close to the bank<, is undisturbed by any ordinary concussion. Again, any concussion originating in j or upon the bed of the river or below the ! fish, does not appear to disturb them. , This was verified by this old angler one day upon a large bass which he saw ' lying motionless with in a foot of the ; stake to which the camp boat was tie l. j The water was about four feet deep. He j struck scveial successive hard blows ! upon the top of the stake, which pro i traded about two feet out of the water, ! without causing a flirt of the fin in the I fish b lew. Our angler at once con- I eluded that the bass could not hear the ; noise made by footsteps upon the bed j of the river, when wading in the stream and, as the jolly fins could not hear the I conversation originating out of the j water, anglers may indulge in social chat and pleasantries whenever inclined | taking oare, however, to be always on I the safe side by not becoming too bois terous in their discussions or hilarity. "Boys," s iid a fly-fisher on one occa sion, "what fools these bait-fisliers are to put their comfort in a straight-jacket when they go a-fisliing. Home old lei j lows won't let you whisper in the boat, I and are as querulous and over cautious | as my grandfather wa-; whenever he had j an attack of the gout. He would lie Hat on his back in bed, with his gouty foot propped up 011 a pillow, laid across u chair, placed bottom upward, and in this position would centre and st ain his eyes and fears upon the knob of the chamber door, which was no s ronel 1 turned upon its axel than he was heard crying out with prospective pain, "watch i out for my foot. "It is just so with tin se old bait-fish ers. A motion of your lip, although I voiceless, ami they would cry out if I they dared 'watch out for my coming j bite.' They are right in thinking that I the least motion of the boat is apt tc frighten the fish, but 4 I won't go home till morning' by a dozen bass voices is less disturbing to a pool or a bank than the twiiching of a toe on the bottom of j about." The Largest Flower in the World. In the farthest south-eastern island of the Philippine Group Mindinao, upon one of its mountains, Parog, in the ; [ neighborhood of the .highest peak on the island, the volcano Apa, a party of botanical and ethnographical explorers recently found, at tie height of 2,50 C feet above the sea level, a colosal flower. The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Heluulen berg, could hardly believe his oyefi when he taw, among the low-growing bushes, the immense buds of this flower, like gigantic brown cabbage heads. But he was still moie astonished when he found a specimen in full bloom, a five ye'alod flower nearly a yard in i diameter—us large as a carriage-wheel, in fact. This enormous blossom was borne on a sort of vine creeping on the j ground. Tlio native who accompanied Dr. Hchadenberg called it bolo. The party had no scale by which the weight of the flower could be ascertained, ! but they improvised a swing scale, rsin • I their boxes and specimens as wights. I Weighing these when oppoi un ty ! served, it was found that a single liuwer 1 weighed over twenty-two pouyds. It I was impossible to transport the fresh flower, so the travelers photographed it j and dried a number of its leaves by the i heat of a fire. Dr. Hehadenb rg then sent the photographs and dried speci mens to the Royal Botanic al Gardens, j Breslau, where tlie learned director im mediately recogni/ed it as a species of Rafflesia, a plant formerly discovered in i Sumatra, and named after the English j Governor, Sir Stamford Raffles. The new flower was accordingly named Raf [ flesia Sohadenbergia. The five petals of this immense flower ! are oval and creamy white, and grow j | around u centre filled with countless i I long violet-hued stamens; thicker and j I longer in the fertile flower tlran in the ! ! infertile.
