WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Andrew Cald-
well, special agent of the general land
Office, appointed to make an Investigation
as to the giant trees (sequoia giRantea) in
the Stocktou'and Visalia land diatricts. in
California, reports that in the VIsalia
district there is one small and one large
grove of giant trees. The latter Is virgin
forest and contains over 200 giant sequoias
and many more small trees. Some five years
ago a cooperative colony located about
forty entries in the neiRhbOrhood and are
constructing a road to this timber belt.
The colony, it is asserted, numbers about
900 members and has recently engratted
the BellamY idea as It's leading attraction.
There is danger, the agent believes, that
these people, If unmolested, will soon
destroy this most wonderful and
perfect body OF gigantic trees in the
world. In the table giving the number
and size of the trees in the grove
visited, only those forty five feet in cir
conference and more, measured three
feet from the ground, are classed as
giants. OF these CTS were found. Forty
four are over eighty feet in circumference
and several are more than a hundred.
One is LOG feet in circumference, or more
than thirty-6ve in diameter.
Secretary Noble has requested the sec
Rotary of war to station a COMPANY of cav
airy in Seauoia national park and an
other 10 Yosemite park to prevent depre-
dations on the mammoth tree groves. 1t
is st tied that the SO called Bellamy colon
lists. who have in part perfected title to
the lands on which these trees stand. have
expressed a purpose to hold their claims
In suite OF all opposition.

Making Matches.

The operation of making matches
from pine log may be divided into four
heads, namely: Preparing the splints,
dipping the matches, box making and
filling. When the timber is brought in
to the cutting-room of the factory it is
seized upon by gang of men, who place
1t before circular saw, where it Is cut
into blocks fifteen inches long, which is
the length of seven matches. 1t is then
freed of its bark and taken to the turning
lathe, where by means of special form
OF fixed cutting band running its entire
length, a continuous tool, the thickness
OF the match is cut off. As the block
revolves and decreases in diameter the
knife advances and band of veneer of
uniform thickness is obtained As the
veneer rolls off the knife it is met by
eight small knives, which cut it into
seven separate bands, each the size of
match. BY this one operation seven long
ribbons of wood, each the length and
thickness of a match are obtained They
are then broken into pieces six feet long,
the knotty parts removed, and they are
then fed into machine, which acts and
looks like a straw chopper, which cuts
them into single matches. The machine
eats 1850 bands at the same time, and
mechanical device pushes them forward
the thickness of single match at each
stroke of the CUTTER This little machine,
with its one sharp knife, can cut over
10, 900, 600 matches day. Il Picayune.

Novel Way of Heating a Church.

A new system of heating Trinity
Church, in this city, has, with other i'm.
proyements, 'necessitated scene of great
disorder in the venerable building six
days each week during the Summer. All
the services of the church have, however,
been continued without interruption.
TO afford opportunity for the introduce
ton OF the improved system of heating,
by means of indirect radiation, it was re.
quired that every piece of tiling in the
church should be removed When this
was accomplished trenches four feet deep
and nearly as many in width were dug in
the several aisles, in front of the chancel.
and at the rear of the church. In these
trenches conduits were built by means of
which hot air will be conveyed to all
parts of the editice. Beneath each pew a
small iron pipe is inserted. connected
with the conduit, and through which the
heat will be distributed to radiator.

galvanized iron painted to correspond
with the woodwork at the base OF the
pews fronting upon the aisles. Instead
OF obtaining the power required for
operating the new system from the
Steam Heating Company the Trinity
Corporation will put in plant Of its own.
The expenditure for the improvements
IN progress is estimated at S25, 900. -
