The Lumber Syndicate
An account was recently giver

An account was recently given
OF the purchase OF redwood forests
made in this state by = foreign |
lumber syndicate. This corpora
ton has bought nearly one hun
dred thousand acres OF redwood
forest mostly in Humb0lt county.
The company will manufacture
lumber largely for export, the de-
mand for redwood in foreign coun
tries having large prospective IN
crease. There is no renewal OF
redwood forests in California TO
any great extent. Indeed, if ac-
count is taken of the damage done
by fires which kill the young
growth, it may be saii that there
is no renewal. Before the foreign
demand for this class OF lumber
was known, it was estimated that
the rate of consumption would use
up all the redwood forests in fifty
years. With the new foreign de-
mand the rapidity of consumption
will be greatly increased.
a far more powerful syndicate
is that which was formed some
time ago with headquarters in this
city. The object Of this syndicate
is to regulate prices and as a
result to regulate the production
of lumber on the entire Pacific
I Coast from Monterey hay to The
northern extremity ci u aShinSton
/ Territory. The advance in prices
/ as seen in the retail markets range
from twenty To twenty-five per
cent. over prices obtained four or
iiye years ago, when lumber was
no doubt very cheap. When con
sumers inquired what had occa-
stoned the radical advance, they
were informed that the greatly III
creased demand was the cause
The fact that production had also
been limited was never volun-
teered as an additional cause o.
higher prices.
There has no doub; been d ma

lumber, both for export aud loca

Addinp, 10 Arabic Soil.

The welcome news has been publish
eel that an artesian well, not far from
Denver, has succeeded in reaching wa
ter Should this news be true, it is Of
immense moment to the people Of the
United States. For it renders it pos
sible to make arabic land of million9
and millions of acres Of soil which is
now waterless, or which has but a small
downfall of rain in short period of the
year. 1t is the peculiarly of our west
ern deserts that a very little water
makes them amazingly fruitful 1t
now seems as if the time is coming when
all the deserts of the earth will be rem
dered useful to man. The French En-
gineers have for years past been steadi-
ly at work reclaiming the Desert of
Sahara by means of artesian wells. A
great number of these have been sunk
along the western border, $50 of which
are in the province of Constantine, and
they are progressing steadily towards
the interior of the desert. M. Jus, who
has for twenty years superintendent
these magnificent works, has recently
reported on this interesting topic, and
among the curious phenomena he no.
tees, is the finding of fishes and crabs
in these waters at very great depths.
He says the crabs, when cooked, have
a delicious flavor. It is clear the world
will not have to pay heed to the dread
full forebodings of, Nautilus for many
years to come, for the. reclaiming of
deserts by artesian wells would furnish
soil to supply food for hundreds Of mill
ions Of people. Some day no doubt
human ingenuity and industry will find
some means OF utilizing rocky soils.
Perhaps stones and boulders may be
crushed, andproper chemicals added to
make new soil in stony places. And so
in time it may come tot pass that a mold
may cover the granite hills of New Eng
land which will be as fertile as the rich
river bottoms of the West The earth
is capable Of supporting twenty times
the number of its present inhabitants.
1t is said if Ireland were as populous
relatively as the Island of Guernsey, it
would contain 40,000,000 of people.
That it is not equally fruitful and pros
porous is because of perverse human in
situations in the way of wicked land
laws. -Demorcsps MonthW for Mwch.

Irresistibly LudiCrous,

One of those things happened at the
National Theatre the other night which
mostpapers are too digniied to mention,
but which everybody likes to talk about.
1t was during the last act of 'sMother
and Son. and Janauschek, with one
other person, was holding the stage. It
was situation OF some suspense, and
the house was perfectly still. There
was q pause, too, in the dialogue, so
that on the stage also there happened to
be complete stiffness.
Just at that moment q man in the par
Quette blew his nose. It. was not vio-
lent, savage blast, but u long, sonorous,
luxurious blow, such as the horns that
marched around Jericho might have
given On the seventh round, in the Sc
rene confidence that the walls would
come down promptly. The effect was
irresistibly ludicrous. The audience,
in their respect for the actors and their
interest in the play, struggled bravely
to preserve a good demeanor. but twas
no use. A wave of half-suppressed
laughter ran over the house, and many
who succeeded in keeping silence fairly
shook.
On the stage the situation was still
worse. Even Janauschek' S tragic gray
ity was disturbed Her face twitched
again and again in the effort to control
herself, and she was glad to use the
handkerchief she had in her hand to
cover her confusion. For q moment it
looked as if an emotional scene would
be dissolved in a broad laugh, but the
actors struggled on with the dialogue,
and, after q few minutes, the play re-
sumed its hold on the audience. For
the man, Or rather the nose. it was a
successful debut. - Washasgtoas Cores

Tromentin Is a Painter Of Horses.

Henry Eckford's interesting illustrat-
ed article in the Century, on Eugene
FronIentin, describes as follows his
method Of studying the motion Of
horses:
The biography states that Fromentin1
was never satisfied with himself in re-
gard to an animal seldom absent from
his pictures, and which certainly adds
great charm to the scenes. The beauty
and movement of the Arabian horses
were studied necessarily. He was al
ways watching them in Algiers; he
owned several in France. One Of his
fellow-pa painters has said that Fromentin
drew horses much oftener and much
better from memory or intuition than
from life. M. Gonse insinuates that he
did them better from chic, q word that
has almost always a slightly disparag
ing meaning, since it refers to work
done quickly, on-hand, without re-
course to models. Lack of early drill
in the profession is the explanation.
Writing to a friend, Fromentin men
toned his attempt to master the draw
ing Of horses: ..You know I had
'Euloge' and an Arab horse. [ have
used both, unfortunately without much
system, learning everything and study
ing nothing really to the bottom; SO
that. after have worked very, very
hard, am not in the least pleased with
myself. I ammo further along in the
exact knowledge Of my animal. have
scarcely begun, not to render a horse,
but to comprehend his proportions; as
for the knowledge Of details most nee
essary to merely build him up, am as
ignorant Of that as possible. Possibly
the only use of the many studies and
sketches which / bring back is the
change have made in the air and in
my studio, and the fact that have had
at Paris, under my eyes, in order to
support and guide me, something which
recalls nature q little Bit He used to
have his horses led and ridden up and
down before him in the hope of selling
the secret of their motion. Luckily for
Fromentin, the Photographic secret OF
the motion Of the horse was not yet
published when he died. Had he seen
the distorted legs of trotters as the in
Simultaneous photograph faithfully re-
port them, and had he heard the chorls
Of wiseacres applauding these curiosi-
ties for the good effect they are ~ex-
pected to have on art, it is likely that
he would not have waited till 1876 to
