Brief Summaries of the Bright Contents for
March.

Brief Summarizes of the Bright Contents for
March.
The Art Amatuer for March has, as it's
principal article, description by A. L.
Baldry of the famous art school of Pro-
fessor Herkomer at Bushey, England.
The illustrations are from drawings made
by the pupils. The coming sale of the
remarka BILE collection of Italian masters
and English pre-Raphalites, owned by
the late F. r. Leyland, of London, is
the subject of some comments in ''My
Note Book" and the accompanying en-
craving of 'sVenus' Mirror is a fine ex-
ample Of the work of Burne Jones.
There are articles on the Water Color
Society's exhibition; on the Manage
ment of Picture Exhibitions; on Paint
ing lace; on Portrait Painting in Oil by
Frank Fowler, and on Still Life Paint
ing, by Allan Aymar. 'rhe Strolling
Critic" as usual, is very helpful to those
who are trying to beautify their homes.
The China Painting department is full
of valuable matter, including the first of
series of ''Talks to My Glass;" by Miss
Elizabeth II. Haines, and 1.-The Decora-
ton of Table Service" A full-page
cut shows how commonplace hallway
may be attractively modified. A double
page illustration of "Flower and Bird
Design" will be welcomed by those who
wish to paint screens or furniture panels.
On other pages will be found descrip-
tions of private galleries in New York
and Chicago, and news from Buffalo,
Philadelphia and st. Louis. "World's
Fair Art" reports the beginning of
active work among American artists.
The supplement gives designs for wood
carving, pyrogaphy, china painting and
embroidery. The color plates comprise
flower study called Button Bush and
Lilies. for reproduction in water-color;
one of Oranges, for reproduction in oil,
plates, for china painters.
The number for March begins the
seventh year of The Forum and for its
seventh year several new enterprises in
periodical work are announced: First
and foremost, the silver question. The
discussion of the silver question has
reached its acute stage in congress and
is. in consequence, before public atten-
ton in a more serious form than ever
before. The March number contains
two papers on it-one by Mr.. Bland, who
makes his best argument for silver, and
the other by Mr.. Leech, director of the
mint, who writes to show that in case of
free coinage, Europe would dump its
silver on US. In the following months
The Forum will publish the most thor
ough discussion of this subject that has
been made, by the foremost writer's of
both continents. These articles will be
a special feature of forthcoming num-
bers.
Mrs. Schuyler van Rensselaer, has
written an article on ST. Paul's Cathe-
dral for the March Century which will
be illustrated by Mr.. Pennell's best
pictures. The paper is of unusual i'm
portance in the Enelis cathedral series

Among the timely articles in the cur
rent number of the Cosmopolitan is The
Columbian Worlds Fair, by M. H. de
Young, second vice president of the ma
tional commission and member of the
board of control of the fair. 1t is finely
illustrated by Harry Fem. Other illus
trated papers are, The Cathedral at
Cologne, by Elizabeth Bisland; Fair

Wingate; Strawberry Hill and the Count
ess Waldegrase, Adam Badeau; An Epi-
sode in Mexico, Eleanor Seymour Sea
From an ex-Guardman's Notebook,
Henry Arthur Herbert. There is fair
sprinkling of fiction and poetry, and al
together the number is fully up to high
water mark.
The March number of Good House
keeping is filled with matter of so uni
form excellence that it would be unjust
to mention a few of the many good
articles which are contained in its hand
some pages, while emitting others of
equal merit. 1t is a journal for the
home and the home int rests; sensible,
modest, and entirely free from the SEN
sational, vaporing methods which are
adopted by many of the publications of
the present day. To quote an old say
ing, Good housekeeping is good maya
zine ssto tie to-" and one which can be
uniformly read with profit and needed
with confidence.
'The gateways of New York." a
description of the means of access to the
metropolis and of the proposed new
tunnels and bridges, will be the subject
of valuable article by John
Gilmore Speed in the next number of
Harper's Weekly, published March 9th.
1t will be accompanied by map and
will be fully illustrated. Another arti-
Gle of timely interest. to appear in the
same number of the Weekly will be q

by Alexander Hunter.
Mrs. Gladstone's first article in the
series of ssHints from a Mothers Life"

The two water-work companies and the
fire district of Great Darlington, Mass,
will appear by council at the reading by
Chairman Aiken at the courthouse in
Pittsfield of the commissioners report to
the supreme court. 1t turns out that
the meetings of the fire district have
been called by the fire engineers in
stead of by the district court for a num-
Der of years, and if the meeting voting
to buy the two water plants was illegal
ly called, then in the same way the
transactions of several years. business
by the fire district, including the ap-
preparation of considerable money, will
have been illegal and will involve the
district in bad muddle.

A TALK ABOUT FISH
Eugene G. Blackford Looking Over
Northwest Fisheries.

Mr.. Eugene G. Blackford, Pre- sident

New York Chandler OF Commerce, the
leading fish dealer OF the United States,
and the greatest living authority on

Gently passed through Portland from
Seattle where he had been investigat-
ing Puget Sound fisheries.
Mr.. Blackford. in an interview, said
that he had just returned from Alaska,
and that his visit to this section of the
country was purely for pleasure, and
had no business significance what
ever. Continuing. Mr.. Blackford said !:
81 think the supply OF halibut Oh the
Pacific Coast is absolutely inexhausti-
bic, and that the time will surely come
when the Eastern market must draw
its supply from here. The most i'm
pOrtant question to be settled, how
ever, before this can be accomplished,
is the matter of freight rates. The
rates must be materially reduced, in
order that your dealers out here may

Two very remarkable curiosities are
placed side by side on little shelf at
the geological survey. One is lump Of
chalcedony as big as child's fist,
white and translucent. 1t is but a
thin shell, and when held to the light
is seen to be nearly filled with water,
which flows about as the object is
turned this way and that. What
makes it interesting is that the water
has undoubtedly been inclosed and
Theoretically sealed in this natural re-
ceptacle for thousands and thousands
of years. Probably it was there long
before Moses was born, and yet not a

there was cavity in the rock, formed

fish to the Atlantic Coast at rates that
will allow them to put them in com.
petition with the supply of the Eastern
dealer.
at costs your dealer anywhere
from 3 to- cents per pound to pack
halibut ready for shipment, and Of
course he wants fair margin offered
him before he ships it way. Another
thing, the business is very precarious.
Fish is often delayed while in transit,
so that when it arrives at its destina-
ton il is unmarketable.
The packing OF fish has to be done
in q careful manner, and the expenses
for ice and boxes are more than q per-
son would think. There is a great
field for development OF the ice indus
try here on the coast. Some Is years
ago the fish commissioners planted
some young shad in the bay at San
Francisco, and l have been pleased to
learn that large catches of shad have
been made in the Columbia river, and
small catches have been made at diff.
ferent times in Seattle harbor.
"Shad is a favorite fish with the
Eastern consumer, and as soon as its
quality becomes known here it will
become a valuable addition to your
already large variety of fishes. 1 think
it will be only a short time until shad
can be caught in large numbers here
and in the Sound. This variety can
not help but become as cheap as your
other varieties, and will, without
doubt, constitute one of your most
edible Dishes"

converted into lumber of the various
kinds, it would suffice to build city
forty miles long and twelve miles wide,
all the buildings being four stories
high, and no space being allowed for
yards, gardens or public parks. A
street leading from San Francisco to
New York might be lined with five-
story buildings, two hundred feet deep,
and there would be enough lumber
left to plank the street its entire
length and build wooden sidewalks on
each side.
The figures are not available for a
comparison with the standing timber
in the other States at the present time,
but the following table is compiled
from the census OF 1880:

Feet Of Standing
T~hap
3ss.OO0,OOO,0OO


Thus we had in fourteen States lying
east of the Rocky Mountains, and in
cluding all the great lumber States OF
the Mississippi Valley, an amount of
standing timber ten years ago that
was just about equal to the timber
now standing in the State of Wash
ington, for in 1890, Clarence NJ. Bar
ton, acting as special agent OF the gov
ernment, and taking into account the
best knowledge on the subject, esti-
mated the timber of Washington at
1886, 1865 100000 feet, and the cut of
1891 was l,379.OOO,OOO. And while
the amount Of timer in these fourteen
States is about equal to that in WASH
ington, the total area is about twelve
times as great.
The immense amount of timber is
nearly all to be found in what is gen.
orally called Western Washington.
The Cascades divide the State into two
unequal parts, the western comprising
about $4,000 square miles, the eastern
$4,000. The moist ocean breezes have
caused the great growth in the west
ern part, and at one time it was cov-
cred by dense and almost impene-
trable forest. There is comparatively
little underground but the trees row
very close together. In Eastern
Washington the timber is found along
the eastern slopes on the Cascades, in
| the mountainous northern counties,
and in the extreme southeast, where
spur of the Blue Mountains reaches
out.
The timbered area of the State covers
about twenty-five million acres, and
therefore the average per acre is Is, 500
feet of timber. This is estimated to
be about one-half of what was origin
ally there. the rest having been de.
stroyed by fire or converted into lum.
Der. This average includes the thinly
covered mountainous regions. however
In the Chehalis district is the "Fire
Belt" so called because the humidity
of the atmosphere effectuslly prevents

The other curious object above re-
ferred to is what appears to be a pet
rified oyster, cut through so that one
sees it apparently on the half shell,
just as it would look when opened
fresh for customer. 1t was found
in chalk beds formed largely of the
shells of various bivalves, probably
many oysters and CLAIMS among them.

which is its big muscle, and all the
other parts are wonderfully distinct.

About Washington Timber.

1t is difficult to convey any adequate
impression to the amount of timber in
Washington. Last year the mills of
the State cut one and quarter billion
feet of lumber, or enough to build 500
wooden buildings as large as the new
Mills Building in San Francisco. Yet
working at the same rate, it would re-
quire nearly four centuries to cut all
the timber now standing in the State.
