A BURIED FoREsT.-It has been recently
discovered that an oak forest lies buried in
the valley of the Fulda, meas Rosenberg,
Hesse Cassel Germany, at depth of from
SIN TO niue feet beiys.s the porfaee. The woea
tlourished at a very remote period. The great
er number of the trees discovered were in
good preservation but, owing to the action
of the water through unnumbered ages, they
have become thoroughly black in color. They
have also become very hard and close, So that
they would make good material for carving
and ornamental cabinet work. Some of the
trees arc of great size one taken ont of
gravelly portion Of the bed opposite the vii
lage of Baumbach, and since sent to the Geo
logical Museum at Berlin, was 80 feet long,
nearly feet in diameter near the root, and
about 38 inches at the top. Even larger speci-
mems have been found. 1t is reported that
the furniture and fittings of the Geological
Museum at Marburg are to be made from this
long buried timber. 1t is not yet decided
whether those buried oaks belong to species
still existing or to an extinct one.

MISCELLANY.
AND AMERICAN LOC0MO
ITFES.

Englishmen seem never to he able to escape
the influence of his Surroundings. Though
he occupies part of every continent, his
methods a,e seldom continual. This is aptly
illustrated in his railroad building. His is
and is small and densely populated, his roads
short, and the traffic heavy. Naturally the
roads are of the best. Every valley is span
ned with vaducts OF bridges. every hill pierre
ed with deep cuts or costly tunnels TIL.
Early railroad mcn had an impression that
railroad must be as nearly straight as possible
and as level rs labor aud money could make
it. Later English builders followed these
ideas closely, and the final result is magniii
cent in every sense. The roads are the best
known, aud make fit ways for the splendid
engines designed TO run upon them. But all
this is insular. When the Englishman tried
continental railroading, as in Canada and in
Australia, he built ON iusnlar plans, aud the
result has not been wholly happy.
II is to the American we must turn to learn
what are the requirements of the modern rail
way, and to get some suggestiono of it's future.
More than this, the moment the English loco.
motive is taken from its island line it exhib-
its defects aud a certain want OF pliabilty that
completely unfit it for continental railway.
But if the English road and the English en-
CINE are the best in the world why are they
not the best for the world Simply because
they do not pay. There can be no higher
reason than this. Anything that does not
pay is useless, because 1t does not meet hui
man want. The excuse of the railroad and
cheaply. The cost of any operation is the
measure of its value to human beings, and il
the road does not pay, Of what good is it?-
Now railway, to be cheap, must follow the
face of the country. That is, the line must
go up and down hill, pass around abrupt
curves, according to the lay Of the land and
without much attempt at a straight liue or
level bed. 1t is upon this idea that American
railroads have been built, and all continental
lines are likely to be built in the future. If a
railroad can thus follow the face of the coun-
try, it will not cost so much, there being no
high bridges, deep cuts, and tunnels. OF
course there is a limit in this direction, and
even the American engine cannot climb up
the side of a house, or turn right angle in
its own length but within certain broad linn
its it may be said that the future locomotive
must follow lines that run mp bill and down
dale, and get round very rema. kable corners.
This being the case, what of the English
locomotive ? Can it travel in safety over
crooked lines that wander in astonishing free
dom over hill and dale through all the sinuous
line of a winding river valley? There is no
need to say it ought, or it may, for it never
did. 1t has been tried again, and The end of
it is, the engine is in the ditch, and the I'M
happy stockholders are clamoring for Ameri-
can engines, or at least engines built on the
American plans. Charles Barnard, in Harp.

Bible. Astonishing that after have whirl-

poor Uncle Tom stands-on that of the Bible.

ROSEWOOD.


Rosewood has always been considered an
arlstocratic wood. It used for fine furni-
ture and pianos By all civilized nations. We
have no record of It's lrst introduction into
use, but it is fair to presume that it was soon
after the discovery of South America, as old
writers speak of rosewood cabinets and other
articles of furniture. 1t is found only in
South America, although near approach to
it is used by the Chinese, of which and BAN
boo they construct all their furniture. The
French call 1t pasaisandre Bots dc rose, or
wood of the rose, is an African wood, and is
red, with yellow streaks. It seldom grows
over eight inches in diameter, and is cut into
veneers and used bias for borders in inlaid or
marQuetry work. Rosewood, or paiaisandre,
is found of superior quality in Brazil Rio
de Janeiro exports all of the fine quality of
wood. Large quantities of inferior quality
are sent from Bahia, but this wood is only
used by cheap manufacturers, as the grain is
n dull brown, and possesses but little beauty
of figure. Honduras also exports a heavy,
dull looking rosewood, which is mostly con
sumed for drumsticks and canes. Rio janet.

the log, and the purchaser relied on his acute
ness for bargains. 1t contains an acrid oil,
which must be extracted by steaming or by
long exposure to the air, before it can be re-
lied on to hold with glue. It has pungent
smell, and the men who work in it seem to
imbibe the odor into their system, as no abu-
ton will eradicate the smell by which the
worker is distinguished from the worker OF
other woods. The dust arising from sand pa
