An Alaska Forest.

Wandering around near camp, says
Lieutenant Schwatka in the New York
Times, was struck with astonishment at
the great size of the trees of the forest
into which we had crept. Within twenty
feet of our campfire were two trees, one
of which measured twelve feet seven
inches, and the other seventeen feet in
circumference at the height of persons
arm from the ground. The latter had its
thick, shaggy bark stripped off nearly to
the ground, being dead tree, and thus
losing much in its measurement. About
thirty yards from camp was tree that
gave twenty-one feet in circumference at
about six feet from the ground. The
most astonishing part was that such g
forest should be found actually sur
rounded by ice ten to twenty miles across
in every'direction. OF course it is rea-
sonable to suppose that trees were here
before the ice, and that the forest proba-
bly, once connected with the forests OF
the great fiat lands. Here was undoubted
evidence that this small forest was being
obliterated rapidly by the advancing
front of the Guyot glacier, the foot-ice
grinding the huge trees into pulp and
splinters as surely as a quartz crusher
grinds the rock into powder.

There is new gem in the market, the
violane du cap, manufactured in Paris.
1t seems rather odd that gem should
be manufactured though limitations are
familiar enough, and though modern al
chemists have experimental from time
TO time with carbon and other materials
in the hope of making diamonds; but
this, albeit an artificial product is not
an imitation. 1t is unique. Possibly
somewhere in the earth, the elements
that compose it-silica, aluminium, iron
and certain other matters may exist in
the same proportions and in erystallic
form, in which case art will have been
but a copyist; its natural counterpart,
il it exists, has not been discovered,
however An Eastern jeweler showed
one the other day of perhaps sixteen car
ats. 1t was clear and lustrous and of a
deep purple color, stronger than the am
ethyst, but IN room lighted only one
gas its hue was that of carbuncle, a deep
aud vivid red In hardness it is seven
in the scale that registers the sapphire at
nine and the diamond at ten. It's dis
covery may lead to other experiments in
chemical combinations and the develop
ment Of other gems of equal beauty.

DowNHEARrED.

DoWnheartedl Pshawl there's seldom seen
A lane without turningl
Each desert has a spot of green,
In spite of bright Soils burning.
Your friends have failed youl Well, what
theni
Remember changing Peter;
Sorrow has tried the best Of men,
And life is all the sweeter.
What adds zest to summers joyl
Is it not winter wearyi
Feace would be tame without alloy,
Past grief makes solace CHEEKY.
All cannot win though all must run
When once life's race is started:
Yet all may hear the words: "Well done,n
So never be downhearted.

An expert Pittsburg chemist has dis
covered that cigar contains acetic,
formic, butyric, valerie, proprionic, prus-
sic and carbolic acids; also creosote, am
monia, viridinc, picoline and sulphureted
hydrogen. AS there is no report as to
tobacco it is left to be inferred that the
chemist found none. But, then, it is
not every day that one can buy drug
store outfit, except the bottles, for five
cents.

A destroyer of an Orchard Pest.

Robert Williamson, of Sacramento,
who owns large fruit ranch near Penryn,
in this county, has been introducing the
two-spotted ladybug, or scale destroyer,
in the orchards of his neighborhood.
They are said to be very thorough and
efficient remedy for the San Jose scale.
The scale lives ON the tree and the lady
bug lives on the scale. II is said that
whole orchards IN San Jose valley have
been entirely cleared of the pest that
threatened their destruction by this
little bug. In one lease twenty-a acre
orchard had been abandoned to the scale,
the owner having despaired of a remedy.
The ladybug came along and attacked
the scale in that orchard in one year it
had much improved, and in two years
every scale was annihilated, and the
orchard is now as healthy and thrifty as
it ever was. Placer (Cat) HeraLd.

Like music heard on the still water,
Line pines when the wind passeth by,
Like pearls in the depth Of the ocean,
Like stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor Of roses,
Like dew and the freshness Of morn,
Like sunshine that kisses the clover,
Like tassels Of silk on the corn,
Like notes of the thrush in the woodland,
Like brooks where the violets grow,
Like raiubows that arch the blue heavens,
Like clouds when the sun dippeth low,
Like dreams of Acadiau pleasures,
Like colors that gratefully blend,
Like everything breathing of pureuess-
Like these is the love of friend.

bic improvements on this property cost nearly

uon and the present buildings can be ar
ranged to bringgin an income of $4,000 per
annum. A gehtlemens fine club house, six
or eight stories high with all its appoint
ments or first-class family hotel are greatly
needed in this section of the city and would
pay largely on--the cost Of construction. On
the premises is splendid oil engine, suitable
for running an elevator when further i'm
provements are made. At the point Of Sum-
NIT avenue and Ramsey street this property
has an extended and Insignificant view that
can be seen for miles, Thousands and thou
sands of tourists from all parts Of the world

noted landscape architect, in his report to the
city on city parks, says: 1.-The scene at this
point is more extended and varied and beauti-
tiful than is comprised in any park in the
world" All this property can be utilized to
pay an immense income on the cost of extern
sive improvements and must be seen to be ap-
preciated. Terms of sale liberal only one
