All Of the, above. estimates are for
white pine lumber alone, except for the
Gulf states, where the product is mainly
of yellow pine. oeos1 u 1900. =.
On the Pacific slope, the chieflumber-
producing points are along the! coast
from San Francisco toPuget Sound, the
timber consisting chiefly of pine $50
called, though really fir and redwood
the fir being the great lumber-produc-
ing material, and resembling the So
called pine of the Gulf states. It is
found mainly in Oregon and Washing
ton territories. stretching north into
Alaska, and British Columbia, and the
forests are almost inexhaustible. The
redwood is almost wholly found in Cal
ifornia, chiefly in Humboldt, .Mendo
cino and Del Norte counties, where
there are large forests of very heavy
timber, and, though not inexhaustible,
sufficient for the wants Of that region
for long time to come. It is used
principally for general building work,
railroad ties, bridges, ETC., and is very
durable, though lacking the strength of
other timber One of its peculiarities
is that it will shrink e1,dauise ia
stead Of ! sideauise. It is very
resinous wood, and consequently large
tracts of it are burned off every year
Yet it keeps fire so badly in the Goals,
that there is little danger of the cinders
carrying fire when buildings construct
ed of it are burned, as, when carried
through the air, they go out before
falling. The trees are large, averaging
six to seven feet in diameter at ten feet
from the ground. It grows very tall,
furnishing timber for lumber $50 feet
and upward. It is fayorite timber for
vessel-building and for masts, and is
largely shipped abroad for that purpose.
To manufacture some of these immense
trees in the mills, they have to be split
open SO as to accommodate their size to
the saving machinery. A white cedar
is found in limited quantities along the
coast of Southern Oregon, between the

north, and to some extent in Alaska,
but inferior in growth and fitness for
lumber. The spruce is confined to low
lands along the coast 1t is a white
wood, and one of its characteristics is
that it is free from juices and odors,
making it especially valuable for pack
ing-boxes, etc. 1t makes not quite SO
clear lumber as the white pine of the
Atlantic States. The whole coast-range
from Cape Mendocino north to Alaska
is mainly we'll covered by forests,-the
mountains, however, being but poorly
timbered and of little Importance for
lum bering purposes. The foothills
have an available timber, promising
large resource for the future. The

How the First European Porcelain Was

o suppose you have all heard Of
Dresden china" presently said Uncle
Jack to the group Of merry children sur
rounding him.
"Oh yes, sir cried Al, "Aunt
Susie had a Dresden teapot that be-
longed to her grandmother, and she
said the tea always tasted better out
of it than from anything else'
Well, here is an excellent French
copy of an old Dresden figure. 1t is
pretty fower-girl. See how gracefully
she reaches for a nose-gay from her
basket. / have seen bouquets Of Ores
den porcelain that you could hardly
distinguish from real flowers" said Uncle
Jack
"You'd hardly think that such
beautiful thing was made from common
earth" said Will"
% Nor is it," said his uncle. "The
kind of china is made from very fms
and very rare clay that, for long time,
was found only in China and the Corean
islands; but about "a hundred and sixty
years ago, q noted chemist of Nielsen,
in Saxony, named Bottcher, discovered
bed Of it there, and manufactured the
first true porcelain made in Europe"
said Uncle Jack.
"Why couldn't they get the fine clay
from China and make their porcelain
anyWhere?" asked VIII.
20" Because the Chinese jealousy kept
all their clay to themselves" answered
Uncle Jack. So
$. How did that man come TO discover
where the clay was. and if it was of the
right kind ?" asked Al.
"By strange chance. According to
the fashion of the time, men powdered
their hair, using wheat flour for that
purpose. One day a neighbor of the
chemist, III travelling an unfrequented
part of the country, observed on his
horses hoofs some white sticky clay,
and it occurred to him that this white
clay, dried and powdered, would make
an excellent and cheap substitute for
wheat flour as a hair powder. So he
carried little home with him, and
some of it finally reached Bottcher.
The chemist found it extremely heavy
and, fearing the pre- sence Of some metal
hurtful to the skin, he tested the clay
in his laboratory. To his surprise and
JOY this. white hair powder proved itself
possessed of the same qualities as the
veritable Chinese ko Ohm, as their clay is
called. Prom a Chat About Pottery:

Sending Plants to Sleep.

Several members Of the Partisan Bio
logical Society have recently been en-
gagged in a series of experiments which
seem to prove that everything endowed
with life, whether animal, plant, or fer
ment, is susceptible of being brought
under the influence Of anasthetics-in
other words, may be sent to sleep. 1t
has been proved that the influence of
anesthetics extended to all the animal
tissues, and last of all to the central
nervous system. Hence it was argued,
plants having tissues must be also sub
ject to the influence of ether, etc. .Ex-
periments have proved this to be the
case. termination is arrested by an
aesthetics. The watercress, for exam
pie, terminates within thirty hours.
Ether arrests termination in this plant,
but does not destroy that faculty. It
merely sends the plant to sleep, for ger
mination recommence as soon as the
use of ether is suspended. This capa-
bility of being sent to sleep is not con-
fined to plants-it extends to ferments.
Thus the ferment of beer, when sub
mitted for twenty-four hours to the in
fluence of ether, becomes perfectly
dormant, but RECEIVERS actlvltya as soon
as anesthetic action is suspended.

Which Will Prove of More Value than
GuanO

On the Pacific coast of South America,
extending from the fourth to the fortieth
degree of south latitude, about 2,4OO
miles along the slope of the Andes to
the sea, i'll Bolivia, Peru and part of
Chill, has been found line of deposits
of sodium nitrate, the peruvian nitre."
The beds are of va riable thickness, COW
cred by from one to ten yards depths
Of earth and halfformed sand stone.
The soil Of the greater part of this rainless
country is pervaded, in some degree,
with this deposit. The mummied re-
mains of the old Peruvian people are
embalmed with it by the earth il which
they are buried; and its crystals glisten
on those CHASTITY relics which were pre-
sented in the Peruvian department of
the Centennial Exhibition, and those
brought to this country by DR.. Steere.
1t has been estimated that in the
Province of Tarapaca, within fifty
square leagues, the quantity of the nitre
is not less that 63, 100000 tons. The APP
preparation Of this last resource has
been taken up rather slowly, but it has
much increased for ten or twelve years
past. Vessels laden with it go to the coasts
Of the manufacturing counties. At
Glasgow the works devoted to the pro-
duction of saltpetre from the nitre of
Peru extends over acres of ground In
1868, 100,0O0,0O0 pounds were used in
Great Britain. AS yet it has been APP
piled to the nourishment of crops only
to a limited extent But this seems to
be it's chief destination, and for this use
it lies in the earth q vast mine of wealth
for the disposal of coming generations
When multiplied population puts the
sustaining power Of the earth really to
Peruvian coast may come to outweigh
in value the gold and silver mines Of the
California coast.
