CaliTornta,s RIo rrao

The section from one of the big Cali fornia redwood trees which the govern ment will exhibit in its building at the worlds fair has arrived at the fair grounds. Eleven freight cars were re- quired to convey it across the continent. It measures thirty feet long by twenty three feet in diameter. The section is hollowed out, and when placed on end, divided into two stories and lighted, as it will be, it will form a rustic house large enough for family to live in.

FINEST IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The Residence of the Marquis of Butte in
 Scotland.

Scotland.
 TlS rebuilding of Mount Stuart, Lord Bute's palace, near Rothesay, Scotland. makes it the most magnificent mansion in Great Britain, says the St. Louis Re public The base of the building covers a fraction more than an acre, and IS built in the medieval Gothic style of the thirteenth century. The walls, turrets and balconies are built of the beautiful variegated granites and sand stones from Acknowledgements, the floor and arches being of clouded Italian marbles The main hall is constructed entirely of alabaster, the supports be- ing columns of oxidized brass and bronze. The gallery and grand stair case are of marbles brought from Sicily and Carrara. The drawing-rooms are paneled with alternate strips of cherry, walnut and ebony, all from America The main dining-roOm, which was built so as to accommodate two hundred and eighty guests, is finished after the style of the drawing-rooms, with the eX- ception of relief figures and mosaics of fish, game, animals, etc. The ceilings and chimney pieces of all these rooms are most artistic, and so also are the windows, mantels and doors, the work of which is extremely elaborate. There are three immense libraries and bll- liard-room, all with carved stone fire places of antique design. In one wing there are Turkish and swimming baths, large conservatories, aviaries, aqua riums, etc. The whole palace is heated throughout with steam and hot water pipes and lighted both by gas and by electricity. The pictures in the gallaries alone are worth five hundred thousand dollars and the books in the libraries as much more. The building, deco rating and furnishing of the palace. which is without doubt the finest pri- vate residence on the globe, entailed an outlay of one n"'ion pounds-nearly five million dollars.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection
 the rise of water in canal due to an over-abund
 ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water
 Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points | along it's line Where there are Ravines, Gullies Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, Tableland, as any
 rains or storms bring down at such points surplus | of water that is very dangerous to the banks of
 canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 | sELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
 Relieving the canal, at short intervals of its sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of | banks, and causing great damage generally, not
 alone to canal, but property owners all along the line, who may suffer or less damages there
 after for the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal and while such repair, being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive. Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, ?, water runs
 freely into the tank, 3, which is immediately filled thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank; it therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done the l weight overbalances tank, and brings down the | lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, | closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, long as the body of water keeps rising a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and | tank all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, a hori- zonta shaft. The gate, Hume or bex can be made any height, width, or length desired The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what a safety valve is to steam. They can be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by
