TIE CALIFORNIA REDWOODs.

A correspondent of the Federal Austra- lian from San Francisco describes the cut ting down of some of the great trees on the Pacific shore. He says:
 ssIt is magnificent yet painful sight to witness the operations in one of these redwood forests. You stand in the midst of vast trees, so close together that there is dim religious light around you like that of cathedral. This delusion is fur thered by the apparent regularity with which many of these trees grow. You can look down long aisle as if it were groin ed arch of cathedral roof, and the only thing which undeceives you is, on looking up, far above your head, to see rifts of blue sky between the branches. But you are suddenly startled by 8 long cry of warn ing, which follows the rhythmatic chop ping sound of the axe and the swish of the saw. It is the woodman, and his mean- chely cry portends the fall of a mighty tree. There is long and labored groan- ing sound it is the tree breaking away from the friendly base which has held it, perhaps, for ages. Then there is sharp ''crack." The tree has snapped in twain. The mighty mass trembles slightly for a moment, then inc.ines in the direction to- ward which the practiccd woodmen have designed it to fall. It topples-it falls. There is an awful crash-the falling tree is smiting the branches from fellow tree which still stands upright, but not for long. There is sound like peal of thunder the tree has struck the ground. The earth trembles for rods around, as if there were an earthquake there is cloud of dust, and all is over. ... ....l..
 ''The redwood is a most valuable kind of timber. It is very slow to burn, and if ignited is easily extinguished. It is very heavy and very dense in fiber, yet very easy to work, splitting with the most per feet accuracy, and yielding to the saw, the chisel, etc., with the utmost ease. When polished it makes most handsome wood for interior fittings, and many of the finest houses in California are fitted with this wood in its polished state. ''

How BANANAS ARE RA1sED.-As every body knows who has eaten a banana, the luscious pulp is ssedless. The plants are propagated from other plants, so that the stock is not likely to run out. The plant requires for vigorous growth deep, rich soil, abundantly watered- With these con- ditions present there is said to be no risk of a crop in the hot regions where alone the fruit is produced. Nine months after a cutting has been planted 8 purple bud ap- pears in the center of the unfolding leaves that shoot out from the head of the parent stem. The stem on which the bud appears grows rapidly above the main stalk. As the bud increases in weight the stem bends downward by graceful curve, on the ex- tremity of which this bud continues to grow till, the purple blossoms falling off, little shoots appear as the embryo fruit. Each fruit has yellow blossom at it's out ward extremity. At the end of from three to four months the fruit has grown to ma- trrity, and is picked long enough before it condition. From the roots of the parent stalk other shoots appear, which are trim med out or left to grow, as the eultivator bears only one bunch or crop as it's life work. Spaniards have religious rever- ence for the bananas, believing it to be the fruit of which Adam partook.
 This fruit has long been regardrd as ex- tremely nutritious. It is recommended above all others for invalids who are una- ble to swallow hardler food. An estimate by Humboldt claims that A, 900 pounds of bananas Can be produced on the soil that would be required for 1000 pounds of po- tatOes and that the same area that would be required to raise wheat enough for one man would produce enough bananas te feed twenty five men. 4>3+4 %-~

An exchange mentions as curious in- stance of the slight causes which promote oxidation, the experience of manufactur- CT of fine cutlery, who found at one time a large portion of his goods being returned to him as in damaged condition. Instead of bright, clean surfac, $ he found rusty. deeply oxidized blades. After much watching to determine the cause, it was located upon the man who sorted and wrapped the knives in packages. Every thing he touched was found to rust, from the peculiar acid character of his skin ex. halations.
