In the Forests.

Boston is said TO ownthe two first horse
chestnuts trees brought to this country.
! Theyare on Washington street, and are repu-
ted to be 103 years old A ring does not
| al ways denote year. for the blue gum tree
! Of Australia sheds its bark twice a year.
| A tree recently hewn, that was known to
be only Is years old, showed 80 distinct
rings OF growth. When Washington visi-
| ted Long Island he probably crossed the
shadow of an old oak tree that still stands
on the premises Of Judge McCue in Baby.
Ion. 1t was made landmark in l7l6, and
is therefore local mOnuhent 90 years
Older than the nation. Old oaks and yews
in England are not uncommon. Several
oaks felled in Sherwood forest, about quar-
Ter OF acentuary sgo, exposed, on being sawn
up, the date 1912 and the mark or cipher of
King John; and it has been calculated that
these trees must have beeen several centu-
ries old at the time the marks were made.
AT FOWLS Wester, in PerthshIre, in the
centre of the village, standing on slight
knoll about four feet higher than the sur
rounding country, is very large and old
sycamore. which girths II feet and IA feet
, inches at one foot and five feet
respectively, and with bole of IA feet.
The legend goes that "a man of Poulis
planted i: on Sabbath mcht wi his
thoomb.' Berks, Penn, claims the
largest chestnut tree in the country. 1t is
growing on the farm belonging to the
estate of Solomon Merkel in Rockland
tow ship, and measures SO feet inches in
circumference; the limbs are 10 feet from
the ground, and measure IA feet in circum-
ference at the base. The top of the tree is
reached without danger by steps that are
fastened between the limbs. 1t is estima-
ted that this tree contains about IL cords
of wood. 1t still yields about three bushels
of chestnuts annually. The oldest yew
tree in England which is situated in Cow
hurst churchyard, was mentioned by Au-
bry. in the reign of Charles l., as then
me assuring 10 yards in circumference at a
height Of 5 feet from the ground. 1t is
said, on the authority of De Candolle, to
be l.450 years old. Its present growth is
about 33 feet. In 1920 this old tree was
followed out and cannon ball was found
in the centre. In 1926 a severe storm de-
prived it of its upright branches. A door
has been made TO the inside of the treee,
where seats are to be had for II persons
comfortably. A fossil forest has been
discovered in Oldham, England, in Edge
Lane quarry. The trees numbeg about IL,
and some OF them measure about two feet
IN diameter. They are in good preserva
ton. The roots can be seen interlacing the
the rocks and the fr'nds of the ferns are TO
be found imprinted on every piece of
store. The discovery has excited much
interest in geological circles round Manches-
ter, and the ''forest" has been visited by a
large number Of persons. The trees belong
to the middle coal measure period, although
it has been regarded as somewhat remarka-
bic that no coal has been discovered near
them The coal is found about $50 yards
beneath.

A Tragic BufTAlo Hunt.

In the month CT July, 1880, after riding
over the mountains for TWO days, the Crow
Indians came upon a fine herd of buffaloes
in narrow valley near by the Yellowstone.
There were four hundred Indians and four
thousand buffaloes. The Crows had been
forced by fear of starvation TO take TO the
chase, and the keen hunger they were suf-
fenng only sharpened their eagerness for
tilt with their old fellow -nomads the
noble bison. The game stampeded down
the valley in the direction of the Yellow
stone. The chase was hotly followed, half
hundred buffaloes biting the dust before
the river was reached. One of the most
vehement of the pursuerS, who had dis
tinguished himself for bravery in two or
three fights with the Sioux, fell from his
pony in the midst of the flying herd, and
was trampled to death by the frantic beasts.
The Yellowstone, a roaring, rushing river,
even at the lowest tide, was booming with
the regular summer freshet, the outpour
of the melting SHOWS IN the high noun
tains. When the river was reached the
game made bold stand and for a time it
seemed doubtful which held the mastery
but the incessant fusillade from four hun
dred rifles, together with the desperate
proximity of the formidable battalion, drove
the herd In dismay into the roaring torrent.
Beside themselves with the excitement of
the moment, the Indians urged their ponies
into the stream, unwilling that even flood
should spoil their frenzied sport or cut
them off from their game The terrific
current, made tumultuous from the hug
piles of rock here and there in the channel,
whlrled buffaloes, ponies and Indians along
at bewildering velocity, until the thou
sands of beasts were rolling and writhing
in inextricable confusion. In the dizzy
evolutions of horses and riders the latter
were left to struggle for themselves in the
water, and to be jammed to death between
the surging masses of drowning beasts.
Some who foresaw the danger in time, and
turned shorewarC, found safety on terra
tirma, but those who ventured far enough
to be embraced by the sweeping, resistless
tide, and to become involved III the tangle
of struggling animals, were all drowned.
The story brought to the post was that
thirty Indians and fifty ponies were
drowned, besides five hundred or thou

There il in Zion, young man OF excel
lent character, good ability, worthy
young man who has but one failing. He
has received an excellent education, trav-
elcd abroad and now has gone West to
learn few things more. His one failing
is desire TO acquire and use Western eX-
pressions and slang phrases Recently,
while seated in company OF hale te lows,
well met, popular miner, whose name
suggests all sorts of bathing places except
warm ones, made mention of ''spuds. At
the employment of the term, our young
friend glanced up and at an opportune mo-
ment drew friend apart, the user of the
term, To find out what in the internal re-
gions "spuds' were. ThefrieDd explained
that they were potatoes and well satisfied,
the young man left.
Soon after the above incident happened,
some Of the young mans companions, well
knowing his penchant to use all expressions
he had newly acquired, determined to play
trick on him. They invited him 10 ac-
company them to a ranch, and, nothing
10th, he accepted. When they reached the
ranch they all sat down. The young man
led in the conversation, and presently in
tone of no concern, whatever, addressed
the lady of the ranch with, "Do you raise
your own spuds, Mrs Smith" At this all
the company jumped to their feet and
reared as though gone crazy. The con
fused young man blushed, the lady did SO
likewise, and finally the spuds man family
inquired for the cause Of the hilarity. The
only reply he got was fresh outbreak,
one or two young men taking the trouble
TO roll under the tables. At last, the
young man was taken To one side and
asked, "Do you know what spuds are?'
''Why yes, they are potatoes, aren't
they2"
"Potatoes the d! They are
lice.''
Nv hiatt"
''Licc! Spuds are lice!"
And then after season of apology, he
returned to the city and approaching Il
joker on 7 street, told him of the
outrage practiced on him by the miner. He
thought it mean trick and proposed to
ed what was the matter. "Why, asked
a lady if she raised her own spuds."
'Well, what of it:'
"Why you know | asked her if she
raised her own"
''Where is the joker"
There isn't any, as | can see. l think
it was Il contemplate trick"
Finally the young man told his friend
how spuds meant lice and then he got mad
because his comforter said they were pota-
toes. He reproached him for trying to re-

groceries and a like number of inquiries
as to the price or spuds before he was con-
vinced to what kingdom they belonged.
