FALLING TREES BY FIRE.

The idea of burning down tree six
or eight feet in diameter, and solid and
green, would have seemed simply abb
-surd and ridiculous. But the thing is
done in Oregon every day at a vast saw
ing of time and labor. The operation
is done in this wise: A hole is bored
into the tree horizontally, the nearer
the centre the better. Then directly
under this hole another is bored at an
angle of elevation such that the holes
meet together near the centre of the
tree. A coal of fire with little kind
ling is introduced into the orifice thus

off at the very highest point of the cell

feet, with tremendous crash, immedi-
