the wants of the settlers and may be continu-
ally renewed for all time.
Projects have been suggested for planting
and rearing forests, and yet, while ell de-
scriptions of timber are becoming more scarce
in settled communities, and more expensive,
it is nevertheless the conviction that the evil
may be lessened by proper effort in all the
States east of the great plains, and even in
those plains the grand forests of the Cascade
region will furnish supplies until the science
of arboriculture may clothe such treeless
localities as are now appropriated to cereal
cultivation. The process of fostering this
interest should be encouraged, and every
farmer and individual consult their greatest
want. The method of planting and rearing
trees is reduced to science It is known
that the pine and fir tribe are generally grown
on sandy, shallow surface soil; other trees
are native of swamps; while the oak, hickory
chestnut, and others of harder and more solid
growth exist ia natural and better soils, suited
to their peculiarities. The State of Kansas
is the first to take steps in this matter, for
the cultivation of foreign trees, and the gov
eminent is offering rewards of merit to those
who will engage in the enterprise. Mr.. r. S.
Elliott of this city, as ind1s'iill agent of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. is similarly engaged
along the line of that road.
''But of all timber the white pine is one Of
largely into use for general purposes than
all others combined and its preservation
should interest every individual in the land.
At the increased rate of consumption, and the
fearful inroads that are being made on our
forests of pine, the years will soon pass by
when Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
will be as destitute of this timber as Mime
or New York.
''But the question comes back to us, can
any plan be devised to prevent the waste,
increase the durability, or replace the loss by
consumption of the lumber now being ex-
hausted with such prodigality? Tis true
that there should be more economy in build
ing houses. Build so as to accommodate the
wants of the community, and not with the
extravaganza of room and waste of material
which is SO noticeable in the tenement
houses of our day. There is plenty of timber
which can be used in the place of pine fol
certain purposes that is equally as good and
serviceable, and by this means the pine inte
rest can be fostered for a much longer time
without much competition or much advance
in prices, and cheap homes, cheap rents, viii

singular feature of the guu-markst is the
number of spectators and adventurers who
figure in IL. There are at least 100 men here
and at Washington who are concerned in the
business of securing, or pretending to secure,
arms for delivery to foreign governments. They
seek interviews with persons likely to wish to
buy, and with those who have guns to sell,
boast of their political and other influence in
the one case, and in the other claim to have
confidential authority from various powers for
the purchase of military supplies. The doubt
and my ystery In which such matters as the mill
tary equipment of nations are carefully kept of
course afford afine field for the adventures of
shrewd and unprincipled spectators. Sales
are, however. continually making nowadays,
and only within q day or two the Government
has disposed of 40, 600 Enfeds, at 81 each, to a
foreign purchaser. At the same time fifteen
batteries of field artillery we're sold; but the
sale was exceptional, as the Europeans do not
covet our artillery as they do our small arms

DR. BeIatz, German naturalist who
is visiting the Sandwich Islands thus de-
scribes what he saw on the top of Mauna
Ioa.
ION our ascent to the top Of Mauna
Loa we visited the little lake of Waiau,
situated at an elevation of T., 600 feet, in
a depression formed by the numerous
snow covered peaks of the mountain.
The lake was covered over with crust
of ice two or three inches thick, but not
strong enough to skate upon. To find
ice i'll the tropics strikes the traveller
with surprise, and here we feel inclined
to play with it like children. About Il
mile below that we found large cave,
where the Hawaiians in olden times
manufactured their stone implements for
cutting down trees and excavating canoe.
On our second visit 10 these mountain
regions we discovered anumber of caves,
all formerly used for similar purposes
These caves were undoubtedly inhabited
III former days. In every one we found
n fireplace near the entrance, showing
that the hands of men had completed
what nature had left unfinished Where
the natural entrance to cave was too

and the tissures and openings between
them filled with chips and small stones.
In other caves, again. where the entrance
had proved too steep or too rough to be
comfortable, there stones had been laid
like steps, down which We descended into
these little mountain habitations This
part of the mountain these caves
and the qlallies from which the material
for the ndze manufacture was procured
are situated is destitute of vegetation.
On examining the interior of the caves,
we found pieces of kappa of various tex
ture and color; bones OF dogs and pigs,
cocoanut shells, bananna-stcms, pieces
of aWa-root, and sugar-cane, old-mats,
tirewood. and heaps of Opihi shells. Out

manufacture, and which Mt the same time
gives us somewhat of an idea of the
extent TO which it was carried ON, the
number of ages during which it was con-
tlnued, and the amount of people working
constantly mt it, are the large mounds
of little chips, thin and sharply pointed
in front OF every cave, 20 to 80 feet in
height and thickness. In fact these
wonderful mounds. visible Tor some dis.
