A paragraph in q recent Michigan
paper has elected from the Pontiac
Gazette the following respecting the
landed wealth of a citizen of that
State:
"Dr. David Wards great wealth
rests in his immense amount of cork
pine lands in Michigan and Wisconsin,
amounting to over Isl, 900 acres, every
every forty acres of which he has been
over hinself, making q careful estimate
of the number and dimensions of the
trees, and noting all the Characterization
of the soil. His land was nearly all
selected from close observation years
before most people had Nh idea of their
ultimate value, and the very best taken:
located on streams and facilities for
running the timber to market were
carefully considered, so that to-day he
owns the finest tracts of really available
and valuable cork pine in the United
States, and the most of it. His pine
lands may be summarized as follows
On the Saginaw, 1900 acres on the
Manistee and Au Sauble, 80, OOOO acres :;
on the Chippewa, in Wisconsin, 10000
acres. Total, 15O, 600 acres. In addi-
tion he owns 10000 acres of the very
best hard wood timbered lands for
farming in the central and northern
part Of the State, besides all his valu-
able property in Oakland county, and
Is, O00, 600 feet of logs afloat. Placing
the same valuation upon his pine lands
alone, as other persons are selling
detached tracts in the vicinity of his,
and it aggregates the sum of:$6, 500, 600,
and We may here say that that amount
of ereenbacks stacked up would not
obtain the deeds Of his pine property
alone. Tae difference in pine land is
very great, IA between cork and other
qualities, AMI aero by acre the cork
nets more than three times ~ much III
any other variety"

That Same Old Turtle.

The Hartford Times, of Thursday,
says that an old turtle was picked mp
= few days ago, by men engaged in
moving on the Truman Sweet Farm,
not far from the race course, on the
Albany road. He was the same turtle
that was marked by Mr.. James D.
Shutlas, the owner of the farm. in
1843. On his undershell that date
appears, just as Mr.. 8. marked it thirty
years ago. (The creature may have
been = century old then-who knows y
In the year 1857 Mr.. 8. again found
him, and put on that date, with his
initials. Yesterday the old crawler Was
found again, in the same moving lot,
where he has apparently always re-
sided. A deep scythe- cut marks about
one-third of bis shell. He will now
be marked 1873, and alloWed to 90 on
again. Perhaps he may again be found
in 1900; but 1t is safe 10 say he vii
outlive most Of ~.

Tho Age Of the Earth.

The new method of ascertaining the
age of earth, which is q present topic
in German scientific circles, attempts
to determine approximately the time
at which the fiery liquid earthball for
the fret time covered itself with a solid
crust. This is done by means of the
difference of the longest and shortest
diameter of the earth. According to
the calculations of Newton and Huy.
gems this would be 1878, if the roto-
ton of the earth had always been CON-
pleted in twenty.four hours, while, in
fact it amounts Ito 1895, which is
equivalent to rotation time of seven
teen hours and sixteen minutes, which
must once have been the earth's time
of rotation. 1t is, however, probable,
for reasons which need not be gone
into here, that at the time the earth
was covering itself with a firm crust
the time of rotation was already a
mean between the original and the
present time. That retardation of
the rotation time has taken and is still
taking place is now as good
as proved, although formerly
it was strongly doubted. OF
all heavenly bodies, it is the moon
whom astronomers know best, and
have most exactly calculated from her
movements. Now, the co-efficients OF
the secular acceleration of the moons
course, as found on the one hand from
the oldest observations of eclipses. on
the other from theory, are at variance,
and there are varions differences which
ought not to exist in the calculations
OF so we'll observed a body. Agreemen,
can only be obtained when it is sup.
posed that during the two thousand
years which have passed since the
Greeks first calculated the eclipses, the
rotation of the earth has been retarded
OO1197 seconds. There exists no ditli.
Guilty about the causes of this retarda
ton, whicl, is perfectly we'll explained
by the tides. From the cypher thu,
found it il easily calculated how much
time will be required to cause re-
tardation of nearly four hours, and til.
result is that since the firm crust q
the earth formed itself, more than two
thousand millions of years have
elapsed

A DANBuRY man who has lost his

to think of it at all, while he whose

to death by anxiety. We are not quite

HOW IT FEELS.
Nine Men Jumping Over LiKktning.

Nine Men Jumping Over Ligetntng.
From the Detroit Free Press, July 18th.
Yesterday afternoon, when the heavy
thunder shower came up, two Detroit
ers were fishing at Sandwich, and they
took refuge in the Gus tom house build
ing on the dock. Seven other persons
also took refuge in the same building,
making nine in there when the storm
broke. Everybody in the city will re-
member what heavy crash occurred
about three o'clock, and it was this
particular thunderbolt which went for
the "picked nine " in the little build.
ing. They we're talking among them
selves, when the first they knew they
didn't know anything, as the saying is-
A flag-pole about ten feet long was
fastened to the roof of the Office,
and the lightning struck and ran
down this, tore hole through the
roof, and then paid its respects to the
fishermen. None of them knew that
the building had been struck, or /
flash or shook had occurred. Each
one of them was struck dumb, as it
were. for longer or q shorter time.
Henry r. Durney, an old "comp," :"
awoke to lind himself astride of . salt
barrel, several feet from where he
had been standing. There was a trem-
bling sensation all through him, max
ing his legs feel like wires ana he
could not find bis voice for two or
three minutes after he was able to
look around. Hugh Martin, proprie-
tor of the Commercial Dining-rooms
on Griswold street. says that he
thought powder explosion occurred.
He was lifted up and flung against the
wall with considerable force, and then
everything was blank for a minute or
two.
Every other man in the house was
similarly treated, some being even
more roughly used, but after three or
four minutes seven of the nine got
upon their feet and found themselves
still alive. The two others were sense
less. One of them, named Mike Dunn
ford, living in Sandwich, was lying in
the second room on his back, and tho
other, a son of John Sharp, living at
No. 3N Second street, was flat on the
the floor, and bleeding at the nose. 1t
was for some time believed that both
were dead, and it was full two
hours before young Sharp recov-
cred sufficiently to be taken across the
river. No doubt tbe.boys came ss near
being killed by lightning as they ever
will and recover from the chock. The
bolt which entered the Office tore it's
way on the south side through the
clapboards, ran down and knocked
some siding off the tannery, and then
few along up through the village and
shattered a maple tree and disappeared.
Parties living near the tannery and
also those nearest the shade tree sus-
tanned sharp shock, while the whole
town was more or less benumbed for =
moment. The flagstaff was brought
up to the city as a relic, and is now on
exhibition 1t this office.
