Getting Pine Logs TO sIarket-A Track Of
Fire and smoke.
cd 60 1scieuuhc Amercnn.lf ...r
4 The California Architect and Builder
gives the following graphic account of
the mode adopted in Nevada for getting
logs TO. market. A chute is laid from
the rivers brink up the steep mountain
to the railroad, and while we are telling
1t, the monster logs are rushing, thun-
dering, flying, leaping, down the de-
cliyity- They come with the speed Of a
thunderbolt, and somewhat of its roar.
A track of fire and smoke follows them
-fire styuck by their friction With
the chute logs. They descend the l, 700
feet of the chute in fourteen seconds.
In doing so they drop 700 feet perpen-
dicularly.
They strike the deep water with a re-
port that can be heard a mile distant.
Logs fired from a cannon could scarcely
have a greater velocity than they have
at the foot OF the chute. The average
velocity is over 100 feet a second
throughout the entire distance, and at
the instant they leap from the mouth
their speed must be fully 200 feet per
second. 4 sugar pine log sometimes
weighs ten tonsi What a missilel The
water is dashed into the air like a grand
plume of diamonds and rainbows, the
feathery spray is hurled to the height of
100 feet. It forms the grandest fount-
ain ever beheld. The waters foam, and
seethe, and dash against the shore.
One log having spent its force by its
mad plunge into the deep waters, has
floated so as to be at right angles with
the path of the descending monster.
The mouth of the chute is, perhaps, IF
teen feet above the surface of the water.
A huge log hurled from the chute
eleaves the air and alights on the float
ing log. You know how a bullet glances,
but can you imagine a saw log glancl
ingi The end strikes with a heavy
shock, but glides quickly past for a short
distance; then a crash like the reverb
ton of artillery, the falling log springs
vertically into the air, and with a curve
like a rocket falls into the water, a long
distance from the log it struck.

An imprinted letter of Charles Lamb
has come to light, giving his opinions
on the relative value Of Wo-dsworth's
and Byron's work. 1t reads thus: II
nevsr relished his lordship's mind.

Byron's can only move the spleen. He
was at best a %satirist; in any other way

A certain prim little miss of my &C
quaintance, who has seen six springs,
has just began to go to school. To get
her ready in the morning necessitates an
early rising-on these winter days by
sunrise. Last Wednesday, her third
day of school, she arose sleepily, at her
fathers repeated call, and said, with
drowsy solemnity: Mamma, when |

In 1895 a brigantine from Madagas-
car came to anchor off Sullivan's island,
in Charleston harbor. The governor
went on board the ship by invitation of
the captain, and received from the lat
ter a bag of rice seed, with information
of the methods of its cultivation in east
ern countries, and of its suitableness
for food. The governor divided the
grain among his friends, who made ex-
periments with it in different soils.
From this small beginning arose the
cultivation of this staple of South Caro-
lima and Georgia. rr VA

On my way up Broadway | counted
seven buildings, each a wonder Of fine
architecture in its day, and all still
good enough to hold its own respecta-
biiity with the newer erections, all
monuments of success in patent medi-
cines. They represented the profits
from familiar pills, plasters and other
medicinal things, sold chiefly through a
union of merit and advertising. But l
could readily enumerate double that
number of ventures which had failed
miserably in the same field and locate
the house fronts which once had been
emblazoned with the now forgotten con
c%octions.

Silence is never more ominous than
during a battle. Then it means that
batteries are taking new positions, bat
tie lines being changed and new plans
being brought into play. Let the roar
Of battle suddenly die away on the right
or left and grim silence take its place,
and those who were fighting like heroes
a moment before will turn pale and
tremble. y

Grant Before Fort Donelson.



A Scotch traveller who visited the
United States during the war tells the
following anecdote Of sen. Grant; The
day before Grant attacked Fort Donel-
son the troops had had a march Of
twenty miles, part of it during a bitter
cold night. Grant called a council of
war to consider whether they should at
tack the fort at once or should give the
troops a day or two's rest. The officers
were in favor of resting. Grant said
nothing till they had all given their
opinion; then he said: There is a de-
sorter who came in this morning-let
us see him and hear what he has 10
say" When he came in Grant looked
into his knapsack.
Where are you 'FRONT.' oar

"Yes, sir. H mo frH0H U'

"Gentlemen," said Grant, "troors do
not have six days rations served out to

here. These men mean to retreat
