walk a few blocks further are well re-
paid for the extra exertion by the rare
sights which greet their eyes in that

The Forestry building contains some
OF the most beautiful specimens of pol

At the extreme southern end of the
building is shown the largest plank IN
the world. 1t is of redwood, from
Humboldt county, Cal. OF it the fol-
lowing description is given
"The great tree from which the plank
was hewn was t%hirty-five feet in diam
eter, when standing, and was supposed
to have reached the patriarchal age of
fifteen hundred years. A part of one
side of the tree had rotted, and, after it
had been felled, in burning up the sur
rounding brush. still more of the tree
was destroyed by fire, SO that the width
of the plank represents less than half
of the original diameter of the tree.
The entire height of the tree was three
hundred feet; the plank being cut from
q section of the trunk twenty-eight
feet from the ground. The plank is
the largest in the world, its dimensions
being as follows: Sixteen feet five
inches wide, twelve feet nine inches
long and five inches thick. 1t is highly
improbable if tree will ever be found
that will yield a larger plank: SO that
the mammoth piece OF timber here de-
scribed may certainly be termed the
sight of a lifetime"
