nlnnEN IN TREES.


Some woodcutters in the forest of
Dromalng made a strange discovery.
They began to fell venerable oak,
which they soon found to .be quite
hollow Being half decayed it
speedily came to the ground with a
crash, disclosing a skeleton in ex-
cellent preservation; even the boots,
which came above the knee, were
perfect. BY its side were powder
horn, a porcelain pipe-bowl and a
silver watch. The teeth were per-
feet. 1t would seem to be the
skeleton of man between thirty
and forty years of age. 1t is con-
jectured that while engaged in hunt
ing he climbed the tree for some pur-
pose and slipped into the hollow
trunk from which there was no re-
lease, and he probably died of star
walton. Another mystery was found
in the heart of an oak. From tree
of this kind a large block, about Is
inches in diameter, that had been
knocking about in various yards and
woodsheds, was split up lately, and
in it was found an auger-hole about
three fourths of an inch in size, con-
tanning bunch of human hair done
up in piece of printed paper. The
hair was near the centre of the
block and fastened in with a pine
plug. 1t was apparently put in
when the tree was quite small, as
the tree had grown over the plug to
the thickness of about four inches,
with the grain perfectly smooth and
straight.
A natural curiosity was shown in
q timber merchants workshop. This
was the nest and skeleton of bird
imbedded in piece of beech. The
The timber seemed quite sound all
round the cavity, and there was no
sign of any aperture into it, but the
timber being sawed up, the nest
with the bird sitting upon it was
found. The nest appeared to be
built with mud, and the bird re-
sembled titmouse. Probably at
the looping of branch cavity was
formed, and the outside subsequent.
ly grown over; but how the bir6
was enclosed seems difficult to i'm
agine.
In the centre of log of Hondu
ras mahogany the saw revealed {
large piece of honeycomb. Th'
finder says the wax with the CELL
was hard, and resembled in colo
the appearance of mummy. Thu
remains of the bees were incrusteC
in the;wax. Another log of ma
hogany was being cut in veneer b,
q cabinet maker, when his attention
was attracted by the appearance o
q remarkable and striking profile o
her majesty in knot in the wood
The likeness was so true that all VIII
saw it acknowledged the resembl
ance. Had this curiosity only bee
discovered in the present year W
might have had jubilee mahogan
added to the never ending list {
of articles so distinguished.
SO often have toads' been foun
inclosed in solid bodies that it is NJ
surprising to read in Scottis
paper that servant, while breakir
large piece of coal for the fire, W;
startled to find in the center of II
block full-grown toad, which al
peared to be in excellent health an
spirits. A less common discover
was made in Birkenhead. A gentle
man there was presented with
cows tongue, which appeared to
perfect in every respect. After I'll
tongue was boiled he discovered
piece of sandstone imbeded in
about three-quarters of an inch
length, half an inch in width and
quarter of an inch in thickness

THE CITY or NEW YORK.

The most important feature OF Tho CITY
OF New York, to a landsman, is her size.
She is the largest vessel ever built for passen-
ger traffic, except the IN starred Great
Eastern, her gross register being fully 1000
tons greater than that Of any vessel now ply-
ing between the continents. Her length over
all is $50 feet, breadth 6Si(, and her depth,
from the top Of the upper deck cabin 70 the
bottom Of tho keel, 500 feet Her gross
tonnage is 10000, and her engines were built
TO supply horse power Of 10000
To the seaman her most important pecu-
liarity consists in tho fact that she is fur
nished with twin screws and double sets Of
engines This is a bold experiment to make
on So grand a scale IL is true that twin
screws have been used on smaller vessels
with gratifying success-notably in the case
Of the new steamer lately put in harbor ser-
vice between Pier 8, New York city. and
Sandy HOOK. But when 10 was decided 20
adapt Che twin screw principle TO large ocean
going craft, there were not lacking plontv
Of people who declared that with so large a
ship the screws would neutralizs each other
They would produce an unpleasant motion.
etc.
Another important feature OF tho CITY OF
New York is the fact that ia her construc-
ton the watertight bulkhead principle has
been carried % tho last conclusion. There
are eighteen Of these bul,heads, and they
separate the ship absolutely into as many
different compartments, there being no doors
or passageways OF any kind between tho
compartments below the level Of the upper
deck. Il will be remembered that tho sink
ing Of the Oregon, tho big Cunard steamer
that foundered OK tho Atlantic coast a few
years ago, was caused by tho fact that the
door in one Of the bulkheads was open. and
owing 20 an accumulation Of coal dust ia the
ways could not be closed in time to prevent
the whole steamer filling shortly after the
leak following the collision.
Besides the twin screws and the eighteen
perfect bulkheads, the City Of New York
has a double bottom and five decks. each
deck containing % 900 square feet She can
accommodate over 1900 persons Quarters
for first class passengers are furnished amid
ships, second class passengers between the
center and the stern, and immigrants in the
stern and bow. The ship throughout is
lighted by electricity, over 900 lamps being
employed, and is furnished in style Of
magnifcence never even approached hereto
fore on board ship. Finally, she win be Of
exceptionally light draft, Notwithstanding
her great size, and VIII have unusual rudder
power 1t viii therefore now be necessary
for her to lie outside the harbors Of New
York or Liverpool in order to "get over the
bar, and she can be handled much better
while in port than any other steamer afloat.
Tho steamer City Of Paris. which is
rapidly nearing completion FOR tho Inman
line viii be a sister ship Co the City OF New
York, and viii be hals upon the same plan.
