PINE LOGS.
A jam I'm the Tittabawassee River
sixty Miles Long.

A jam in the Tittabawassee River
Sixty Miles Long.
The Midland mich Independent thus
describes a jam in the Tittabawassee
river:
Can our readers outside the limits OF
the lumber region realize what it is to
see river, from twenty to oforty-6ve rods
across, filled, rammed, jammed full of
pine logs for sixty miles2
Yes, il they have a mind to travel up
this way just now and view the Tittaba-
wassee, filled in just that way, with
heavy double and triple jam of noble
pine logs, from Saginaw to above Eden
vile, distance of about sixty miles by
the course the stream pursues.
Just endeavor to imagine the stupen-
dous thing, and then consider whether or
not any work was done in the dim old
aisles " Of the lumber forests during that
cold winter. a isl
Sixty miles of logs
Sixty miles of logs, and probably, on
an average, four million feet of lumber
to the mile, 80 the lumbermen inform
US, or, approximately, 250,000,000 feet
of pine lumber in the whole jaml Can
you take all that in2
No, not yet. Well, let US figure lit
tie further: Four logs to the thousand
feet is about fair average then in each
log would reside ESQ feet of lumber, or
to make 250,0O0,OO0 feet of lumber it
would require one million logsl Can
you comprehend that fgure2
One million pieces.
Probably sixteen feet is about the av-
erage length Of these logs-it will not
at least widely vary from that-and then
the distance those million pieces would
extend il placed end to end in one CON
tinuous line would be 100000 feet or
little above 5000 miles, the distance
across the American continent from
New York to San Francisco.
If sawed so as waste to be worked up,
this would make almost a sufficient
amount Of inch lumber to build a side
walk two feet wide complete around the
globe.

siIk.Dress Courage.

Phoebe City (Nev.) Record
At Phoebe, the other day, some ladies
expressed desire to inspect the work
ings Of the Raymond mine, and, accord.
ingly, we're gallantly escorted into the
lower depths by Mr.. Andrews, the fore
man. After satisfying their curiosity,
the conversation turned upon the means
Of egress, and the fatigue and danger of
climbing the ladders with which the shaft
is furnished; Whereupon one Of the fair
visitors said that she believed she could
climb the ladder herself. After some
badinage Mr.. Andrews promised the
lady that he would present her with
handsome silk dress If she climbed from
one OF the levels to another alone, per.
pendicular hight Of 200 feet. The chal.
lenge was no sooner made than accepted,
and the dsuntless lady climbed the lad
der for the specified zoe feet, task that
few men except miners would care to
undertake. Mr.. Andrews is now of the
opinion that if instead of 200 the ladder
had been 1000 feet in length, the lady
would have climbed it if there was to be
found a silk dress on reaching the top.

FortunRle Accidents.


The cracking OF picture in the sun
shine set Van Eyck experimenting to
produce varnish that would dry in the
shade. he found what he sought, and
found besides that by mixing it with his
own colors they acquired greater force
and brillianoy, and required no subse-
quent vanishing; and so came about the
discovery, or. rediscovery, Of the art Of
painting in oil Mezzotinto owed its in
gention by Prince Rupert to the simple
accident Of sentry's gun-bsrrel being
rusted in the dew. Henry Schanward,
a Nuremberg glass-cutter, happened to
let some aquafortis fall upon his specta-
cles, and noticed the glass was corroded
and softened where the aquafortis had
touched it, Taking the hint, he made
liquid accordingly; he drew some figures
upon piece of glass, covered them with
varnish, aud applied his corroding fluid,
cut away the glass around his drawing,
so that when he removed the varnish the
figures appeared raised upon a dark
ground, and etching upon glass was ad-
ded to the ornamental arts, Alois Sene-
fielder, playwright and actor, thinking it
possible to etch upon stone in lieu Of
copper, polished a slab for the purpose.
He was disturbed by his mother coming
into his small labratory with the request
that he would jot down her list of things
for the wash as the woman was waiting
to take the basket away. There being
no paper or ink handy, Senefelder scrib-
bled the items on his stone with his etch-
ing preparation, that he might copy them
at his leisure. Some time sfterward,
when about to clean the stone, he thought

the stone, took off few impressions

How 10 destroy Ants.

country dentleman.
A chalk mark at least half an inch in
depth around the upper edge Of sugar
buckets, barrels, etc., will not admit one
ant into the interior. The same mark
drawn on the edges of shelves will also
prevent the approach of an ant, as they
are not able to crawl over the chalk.
But If they are numerous among jam
and jelly pots, take a large sponge, wet
in cold water, squeeze it nearly dry, and
then sprinkle fine white sugar over it.
Place it on the infested shelf, and next
morning dip it quickly and carefully into
a bowl of hot water. | tried the expe
riment in my jelly closet one night, and
killed at least hundred in the morning.
Have set the trap again, aud shall con-
tue to do so while one ant runs. Red
pepper busted over their haunts will also
destroy them, but the sponge is the
surest method.
