Some Remarkable Trees.

Col. George Cadell has an interesting ar
ticle in the Gsntleman's Magazine upon
Trees" The. colonel says that it is to the
Romans English people owe whatever skill
they may possess in forestry. The tallest
trees in the world are found in the gulleys
of Victoria, one of which is All feet high.
The beech trees of Hesse-Nassau contain
nearly 5000 cubic feet of timber per acre.
The first larohes grown in Scotland were
planted at the end of the last century.
Nearly every county in England has its
f~svorite oak. the largest of which is
the Cowthorpe of Yorkshire, which has a
circumference of eighty feet. The Carnoch
ash in StirlinRshire is thirty-one feet in
circumference. The Tortworth chestnut in
Worcestershire was used to identify the
boundary in the year 1135. II is said to
have been the first tree that was ever
planted in Great Britain by man. The
largest cedars in England are at Clumber.
They measure twenty-seven feet in ciroum-
ference. There is a yew tree in Crowhurst,
Sussex, thirty-three feet in oircumfel ence.
The "Crawley elm' is sixty-one feet in
pirth. The largest beech tree sto be found
in Cornbury park, Berkshire, and the larg-
est sycamore ia at Gotham park, with q Cir
conference of twsnty-six feet.

peed the day!

To ALL her friends, and she has thous-
ands of them, who supported her in the
capital contest, Helena extends thanks
and greeting. With those who did not
give her their vote she has no quarrel.
Local pride induced many who would
have otherwise have cast their ballot for
Helena to vote for other aspirants.
Many were doubtless deceived as to the
strength of the different towns in the
race and supposed they were voting for
winners when theii ballots we're wasted
on towns that had no show. There will
be no illusions about the final contest,
and Helena will receive the vote of
many thousands who favored rival
towns in Tuesdays contest.
And now let acrimony and bitterness
and jealousy be put aside. We are all citi-
zens of one commonwealth, with common
interests and aspirations. Let us have
an end to backbiting and b%ackcapping
and all pull together for Montana.

THE LIGHT.
1t Is of Phosphorescent Origin and Serves
Many Purposes.

1t Is of Phosphorescent Origin and Serves
Many Purposes.
A young reader wants to know what
causes the light emitted by the FREELY. We
believe it has never been definitely settled
to what the light is due, but the general
opinion is that it has a phosphorescsnt
origin. There are a great many animals
and fishes that have the power of giving of
light. and naturalists all agree. we believe.
that nature has provided it as a means of
securing food.
The little ~tirefies that we have here are
almost insignificant compared with those
that are found in Central and South Amer
ica and the West Indies. The lightning
spring beetle which inhabits those coun-
tries is more han an inch long and its light
is so bright that ladies use it az an orna-
ment. The beetles are caught by holding
up burning Goals OF the end of a stick.
Ibis attracts the insects.
The ladies who buy them put them in
little wire or gauze cages and keep them
until they desire to decorate their dresses
with them. Water has to be poured on
them quite often to keep them alive, and
they are regularly fed ON bits of sugar cane.
The natives of those countries use the
beetles. as we use candles and gas, to light
their houses. Two or three OF them to-
gether will emit enough light to read by
very comfortably Phiadslphia Times.

THE redemption of Illinois is n OF
the most glorious achievements of the
democratic party. 1t ranks fourth in
wealth and population and is in every
respect an imperial state. The battle
was won there on the tariff reform issue.
1t was not an accidental vic
tory. The states old-time MAJOR
tiles have been steadily cut down
and it was no surprise to those
who carefully studied the drift that ii
finally went over to the democracy.
Perhaps no influence contributed more
directly to the result than the declara-
ton of Judge Gresham, long the idol of
Illinois republicans, for Cleveland and
tariff reform.
The revolt of one of it's old time
strongholds must convince the republi-
can party that it will have to change
front on the great issues of the day.
The country is ripe for tariff reform and
it is going to have it.
Speed the day!

Peculiar Property of Gas.

A singular experience is recorded from
Frankfurt-oD-the-Mai which throws a new
light on the occasional instability of asphalt
pavements. Shortly after the asphalt pave
ments were put down in some of the Flank
furt streets. cracks of varying length and
depth, some of them of considerable size.
and resembling those sometimes TO med in
earth under the influence of great heat, APP
pearad. The cracks were found to extend
mainly along the lines of tho gas mains, and
the odor Of illuminating gas was freely
given off from them. When the asphalt sur
face was removed. it WAS found that the
beton foundation layers Immediately under
meath were also cracked. and that the gas
leaking from the mains had thus been al
lowed to come into direct contact with the
asphalt. The latter, by the absorption of
more or less of the gas elements. principally
benzine, lost its cohesive properties. and
cracking finally followed.
