A CALIFORNIA TREE FOR TIE CEN
TENNIL.-Somc time ago we mention
ed the fact that Mr.. Vivian was prepar-
ing large piece of one Of the Tulare
county big trees to exhibit Mt the Cen
tennial next year. From +. j. Vivian.
his son. we learn the following facts =
The piece of timber selected will be l6
feet long and u feet in diameter at one
end and 10 feet at the other. The heart
OF this will be taken out, leaving only
about one foot OF the body Of the tree at
tached to the shell or bark. This out
side she'll will then be divided into s
equal parts, each Of which will weigh 4,
900 pounds without the bark. 1t is ne
cessary to divide it into this number of
parts in order to allow it to pass through
the numerous tunnels between here and
Philadelphia. The 8 parts will weigh
between thirty thousand and forty thou.
sand pounds, and will require two cars
for their transportation. One solid foot
Of this tree weighs seventy-two pounds
being ten pounds heavier than so
much water. This timber was taken
out OF the Gen. Lee, tree two hundred
and seventy-fivc feet high, and which,
had it been sawed into lumber, would
have produced n sufficient quantity to
have builta very respectable young town
or large ship. IL contained more than
two hundred thousand feet OF lumber,
besides, probably, about Two hundred
cords Of wood. The General Grant, a
much larger tree than the General Lee,
and the largest in the world, growing in
the same grove, is left standing, proba.

BEER PowDER.-Science, with its
wonted absence of prejudice, has just
dealt each side ofthe Temperance" Ques-
ton Il knock down blow. A Frankfort
journal reports that chemist of that CT
ty hcs lately given public exhibition Of
his ability TO make delicious beer at n
moments notice cut OF nothing but a
small Quantity of brownish powder and
n pail of water. 1t is said that certain
experts present-some of them brewers
themselves-could not distinguish be-
tween the beverage thus made on the
spot and that drawn from the orthodox
cask. The new beer-powder can be sold
ut iivepence an ounce & an ounce is suffi-
cient to produce n gallon Of beer. At this
rate aglass of ale will cost about f;ifth-
ing. And the process is so simple Take
some pure, cold water; put the powder
into it, stir we'll, and the beer is ready.
The inventor, moreover, declares that by
slight change in his ingredients he can
alter the quality of the beer and produce
any kind that may be desired. Shortly
therefore, great revolution may be ex-
pected. With few grains of Bass in
one pocket and pinch or two of Ind
and Coopc in the other, the thirsty but
not even hama .f,ie traveller of the future
will calmly make for the nearest pump
and there contentedly drink confusion

licensed victualer. Pol Nal Gctzette.
