SENATOR B.T. GE-Dear Sir: see by
the San Jose Mercury that you are en-
deavoring to induce the Legislature of
your State to take immediate steps toward
the cultivation of forests. and although
my advice has not been solicited OH the
subject. | feel it my duty to make no de-
lay in informing yoa OF what | know in
regard to this matter. Most of these
projects fail because the projectors do not
know what kind of trees to cultivate.
My advice is TO plant the box. People
do not know half the profit there is in
this tree. BY proper cultivation you can
have your tree producing a good article
Of cigar boxes in two years, and in three
years, il taken care of, II good crop OF
dry goods boxes can be gathered. Tho
fruit will increase in size each year until
the tenth, when you will be able to har.
vest the largest.sized packing cases. The
method of cultivation consists mainly in
mulching the roots with old scrap iron.
in order that the nails in the fruit may be
plenty and Of good quality. have
seen some fine specimens in the market,
in which the screws took the place O.;
nails. | was informed that this was ac .
complished by turning the tree round
once q month, but although was always
noted for turning and have made COM
plcte revolutions once week. / have
never been able to accomplish much. l
am making an extensive twist Just now.
und will inform you of the result next
November when / harvest my crop.
In selecting your seed, take care to Sc
loct q good article, as there is much
worthless stuff in the market which will
produce only small boxes, which are very
undesirable. have been in many small
boxes myself and they are very tight. l
had intended to ask for protective tar
if on boxes, but think ] will leave the
matter to the people of the different Con-
gressional districts, until see the result
of my experiments in producing screws.
l shall have some cuttings OF these trees
at Cincinnati next May, and would like 10
supply your State with gratis.
Yours truly,
HORACE GREELEY.

NorthP To insinuate that any portion of
them-that President Grant or the Re-
publican party--have at any previous

srievously. To accuse them of wishing
to ''fan ancient flames into continued

been the rebel spirit toward every need

My letter is already much too long to

FEELING FORESTS By ELBcrmc1r,.

FEELING FORESTS BY ELEcTMcITY.
Among the recent discoveries of
science is a process for cutting wood
by passing galvanic current over a
platlna wire, in sufficient quantity to
raise its temperature to red heat.
The inventor or discoyerer, DIR. George
Robinson, found that gently pushing
Il piece Of wood against red hot
platina wire, especially when aided
by slight saving movement, the
wood was divided III any required di-
rectioi as BY n handSaw. and Of course
without any effort of skill OF appre-
eiable expenditure Of muscular power.
The Nc,ehtifc .i'acrfep says: by
arranging the wire with handles or
other means. so as to guide it readily,
the lumber, whether in trees, logs or
planks, may be cut easily as desired"
The Kern county Courier says: "lt
the mammoth trees that grow on the
upper waters Of the Kern river could
be utilized, the Inconvenience OF all
inadequate supply Of lumber would
never be felt in this valley. These
trees, hundreds Of which may often
be tould crowded together in sheltered
valleys along the stream, will average
not far from thirty feet in diameter.
and, Of course, with our present ap-
pliantes for the purposes, are difficult
to fell If the So}cMifc .Ametcda's
statement is true, electricity may be
employed to fell trees, divide them
into l3gs. and, in short to perform all
the operations of the sawand AK. The
surface OF the wood where thus divided
Is. OF course, slightly charred, but the
black layer is thin, and for many pn!-
poses not disadvantageous, as 1t Is
known TO preserve timber. The bat
tcry employed need only be Of the
simplest character, as quantity, and
not intensity Of current, is required" F"

citizens that our Mayor convene the City
Council and take action In relation to the
visit of Horace Greeley to Nashville. Other
cities have appointed committees to formal
ly notify Mr.. Greeley of the invitation ex-
tendet and have also sent committees to
accompany him thither as their guest. This
suggestion would meet the appreciation Of
many and as Mr.. Greeley is TO be at Louis
vile Saturday, committee from Nashville
to escort him to the City of Rocks would
