THE value for manufacturing and

THE value for manufacturing and
finishing purposes of the richly grain
ed redwood of California is beginning
to be appreciated, though not, it would
seem, until after immense quantities
OF ii have been diverted to unueces-
ary uses. Until recently the rich,
curly bird's.eye and other peculiarly
marked species were cut for rough
lumber, and the softer, straight grain
ed kinds being SO much more easy TO
work, less liable TO shrink endwise,
and not so liable 10 split in mailing,
were the favorite material for build
ing and other purposes for which red
wood was used, to the exclusion of.the
wavy and peculiarly grained varieties
included in the first class redwood
list Thus trees or logs indicating
the very features now so priced IN
redwood have been used in srodigious
quantities, simply because of their
size and their strength; but it is now
matter of special interest to builders
and artisans that, for richness and
popularity of grain, the redwood is
excelled only by the finest of costly
hard wood. The shrinksge endwise
is special 10 this wood, but does not
extend beyond thorough seasoning.

A LOAN Of G5, 5,00e,0 600 has just been
negotiated for the Congo River Free
State, the first installmen. of what
will probably prove long series OF
loans 10 assist emigration, build a
railway and improve the country.
AS the soil on the uplands is sand in
termiugleG with pebbles, the river
bottom powders set in mud, and the
climate as hot rs an African sun can
make it, the attractions for emigrants
will, OF course, be cvideat at a glance.
MaLy emlgrants from Europe have
already gone to Congo Valley, but as
none are allowed to return and all
are forbidden TO make public the real
state of all airs in the Congo Free
State, tie truth concerning that en-
terprise is not generally known.
There seems not much reason to
doubt that in some respects 1t is one
OF the most gigantic swindles OF mod
ern times, and that the purpose of its
projectors has been far from honest
fro the start.

A queer cause is assigned for the
dismissal Of the United States Con
sular Agent in France He had a
weakness for sending his reports writ
ten microscopically on small pieces of
paper, so that it was hardly possible
to read what he had written without
the aid of magnifying glass. The
Department failed TO appreciate his
exhibition OF penmanship, and he was
instructed to be less economical in his
paper, but no attention was paid to
the instruction. After he had been
written To several times without any
reform being effected, his removal
was decided Oh, and the notice of than
will doubtless secure his attention
