M.rvalou, Rsulon Of Giant Cedar,.

W. E. Baines, who, with r. j. Gra-
ham and the Spreckels Brothers, is build
ing the Coos Bay, Roseburg aud Eastern
Railroad, has arrived here from Marsh
field, Oregon, the headquarters OF the
company.
"There is the greatest forest of pine,
cedar and other trees on our route up
the Coquille River said Mr.. Baines'
sthat know Of on the Pacific Coast.
The trees are prodigious aud as thick as
they can stand. Because Of their being
so thick it is not an easy task to build
the road, but it will pay remarkably
we'll when completed, because OF the log
and other freights.
ave are now as busy as we can be
getting down timber for the FIVE or six
big mills along the river aud bay. Inc
lumber industry was never so thriving
there. They have beeu at work on the
timber Immediately around Marshdeld for
thirty years, aud the good timber has
been cut out. For this reason there is
plenty for the road to do in bringing
down the superior timber"
Mr.. Baines says the scenery along the
route of the new road in the Coast
Mountains is as wild as the famous Cow
Creek canyon, but the country is not SC

EnuInes for an Unique Wheel.

Those who contemplate trip IN the

Fair. which will swing them up to a
beiqht of 25O feet-the wheel diameter
will be interested in knowing that the
engines to drive this immense piece OF
machinery carrying hundreds OF pa'sen-
gers at each revolution, are to be imme'
diately made in Youngstown, Ohio. The
wheel will turn in a horizontal axle, set
at an elevation OF 125 feet. The engines
will be a pair coupled to one shaft, with
crauks at right angles and fitted With
steam reversing gear, so as to run either
way, and stop and start instantly. The
cylinders of these engines are thirty
inches in diameter, with forty-eight-
inch stroke. The strength and stability
Of these cylinders are amply guaranteed,
as they will weigh 11O tons and will
stand the exertion Of 1000 horse power.

Haw 10 RsoSunizs a Tornado.

Scientists tell us there is always warn
ing of the approach Of tornado to those
that are observaut. Clouds may be seen
hurrying together in the southwest aud
west, low, dull roar of the wind III
those clouds may be perceived, while
there is great stiffness and sultry heat
in the air, all of which signs are sufficient
to aid people to look for safety Ihs
safety they will mover find in any ea'terly
direction, One who faces the cloud as
IL comes should seek safety to the right.
The only absolute safety, ho Sever, is to
be found under ground, in the cellar of
the house, if it is wooden house, as the
storm will whirl of the beams and boards
Of the structure; but il it is brick or
stone house tho shattered wall will only
tumble In; the bricf or stone house,
moreover, will fall sooner than the
wooden one, which yields and gives. In
the tornado countrits, especially In the
more open portions, taere should be an
underground place provided for refuge,
with its roof arcbed aud strengthened by
masonry and beams, SO that it cannot be
broken in by anything heavy falling upon

A Wonderful Brlda..

A frontier correspondent says thai the
most wonderful thing on the Gilget
road is the suspension bridge thrown by
Captain Aylmer over the Indus at the site
of the permanent structure now build
ing. The span is some $50 feet, and
the materials used are nothing but tele-
graph wire, wood and few crowbars
let into the rock and used to fasten the
STAYS. It is the most startling structure
to come across in the gorge Of the Indus.
The gallant constructor used to ride over
it, but less enterprising mortals walk aud
admire the really extraordinary ingenuity
dis played in the construction. Seen
from a slight dis lnce it seems to hang
SUSPENDED in the air like MVhammed's
coffin, so delicate do the ropes of tele-
graph wires which support it seem; when
one is close it looks, with its numerous
STAYS of wire fastened to points up and
down the banks, as if 1t were a giant
spiders web.-Yokohama (Japan) Ad-
yertiser.

African Justics.

OF all Central African customs trial Gy
ordeal. which is universal, is that which
is most revolving to a European brought
for the time into contact with savage
life. When man is accused OF any
crime, as theft, arson, murder, witch
craft, or the like, evidence is brought
AGAINST him in the way common through
out the whole continent. This, how
ever. is never final. The accuser's wit
nesses swear to everything required oil
them without the slightest conjunction
of conscience, and as the prosecutor must
produce his evidence first, tie dc.
fendant's witnesses are ready to swear,
and do swear, the opposite of all that has
been said. Trial is invariably in open
court, and nothing said by the witnesses
for the prosecution can be concealed
from those that are to follow. There
are no afilavits, thus making contradic-
ton at once simple and safe. II rebut-
ting evidence were allowed, the most
paltry trial would be interminable. For
a witness to be called liar is, IN such a
case, compliment. 1t proves that his
evidence told, and that be, by inference,
is very clever fellow. II the same man
were accused of bewitching he would re-
gard it as foul libel aud demand the
poison bowl without an hours delay.
To remedy the defects Of trial in
court, that by ordeal is adopted in all
kinds of causes, both civil aud criminal.
As the case proceeds before the council,
the accused at intervals demands the
mwai, aud this demand his friends, if
they believe him innocent, persistentlY
press. The accuser resists the demand
as unnecessary, knowing that should the
culprit, even If caught red handed, re-
cover, he will be placed in a dificul:
position. He will in that case have no
claim to compensation for an injury, and
may in turn be successfully sued for wilt
fully seeking to destroy another mans
reputation. The belief in the absolute
certainty Of trial by mwai is universal,
and the beginning and en1 of reasoning
is thus: "It he is guilty, he dies; If he
does not die, should the stolen property
be found on his person, he is not guilty;
another put it there, or he was be-
witched. Popular Science Monthly.

THE HELP THAT COMES roo LATE.

'1is a wearisoms world, this world Of ours,
With its tangles small and great.
It's weeds that smother the spriugiug flowers,
And its bapless strifes with fate,
But the darkest day of its desolate days
Sees the help that comes too late.
Abb woe for the word that is never sail
Till the ear is deaf to hear,
And woe for the lack to the fainting head
OF the ringing shout of cheer;
Ahl woe for the laggard feet that trea1
In the mournful wake of the bier.
What booteth help when the heart is numb?
What booteth broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips are dumb,
And life's barque drtteth far,
Oh far and fast from the alien past,
Over the moaning bar?
A pitiful thing the gift to-day
That is droSs and nothing worth,
Though if it had come but yesterday
1t had brimmed with sweet the earth.
A fading rose in death hand.
That perished in want and dearth.
Who fain would help in this world OF ours
Where sorrowful steps must fall,
Bring help in time to the waning powers
Ere the bier is spread with the pail;
Nor send reserves when the flags are turled,
And the dead beyond your call.
For battling most in this dreary world,
With its tangles small and great,
Its lonesome nights and its weary days,
And its struggles forlorn with fate,
Is the bittersst grief, too deep for tears
OF the help that comes too late.

Charles Dudley Warner, in the Editors
Study Of Harper's Magazine, writing
upon some Of the changes which are
taxing place in the structure of society,
says; "We are going very fast. Society
was more shocked some years ago by tho
appearance in the field of female base
ball clubs than it would now By the ad-
vent Of female football teams. Woman
has taken all fields for her province, and
IS scarcely anywhere challenged. If
there are female thieves, why should
there not be female sherifsl These are
unimportant details. We have ceased to
be astonished at finding women in unex-
pected places. All this Is not spas
modic movement, mere leap-year freak.
1t indicates a radical change going on in
the structure of society, an advance along
the whole line of the great body Of wo-
men to independence--the great body
that may not care a rap for suffrage, aud
that do not make the least noise about
their rights They simply take them"

As evidence Of the character aud ex-
cellence of the exhibits which are com.
ing to the Worlds Fair from abroad, the
following description, given by the
Madras Mail, of casket made by q
iewelry firm in far.away Celyon ex-
pressly for the Fair, is given "It is
undoubtedly one of the fnest-if not
the 6nest-piece Of work and the most
costly aud valuable, ever turned out of
a Celyon establishment. The box is
fourteen inches long by seven inches
broad, and is made Of carved ivory on
silver, with broad bands of solid gold
(Ratnapura work. along its sides aud
edges. The lid is Of silver, richly
chased on the inside with designs Of
elephants and cocoanut trees, whilst
the whole is covered with blue plush.
It's chief claim to notice, however, is the
fact that it is richly studded With gems
none but Celyon stones being used.
All round the rim is a row of fine pearls
300 in number-whilst lower down Is
a row Of rubies Of good weight aud fius
color. The lid is lined with a complete
selection Of the best stones, including
pearls, sapphires, rubies, cats-eyes, tour
malines, etc. and this fact gives grea
value to the cssket, whilst the ivory
panels are carved to represent various
products of the island, such as paddy,
cinnamon, coffee, tea, etc. With the
casket is an ivory elephant caparisoned
with gold strappings, as if for perehara,
and carrying gold shrine on its hack.
The whole exhibit is valued at $500
(s25o0) by the firm in question, aud 1t
certainly is piece Of work WHICH rejects
the highest credit"

The Snimitar Snake.

There is a little reptile belonging in
Madagascar known as the scimitsr snake,
that is, the curling sword. Running
along the back from head TO tail is a
blackish, horny substance, which bends
with thu convolutions Of the snakes
body as readily as would = well tenn
pered steel spring; aud throughout Its
entire length it bears an edge as hard as
flint and sharp as razor. They are not
poisonous, but when one of them springs
on man, which he likes very well to
do, he will soon have a leg OIL unless
cracked on the pate. Some snake spe-
cialists claim that the presence oil TINS
reptile on the island is the reason there
are no large quadrupeds to be iouna
there at present, the curling sword In
back ages having taken off legs faster
than they could be created.--Cbicago

The fact that about 400 applications
for patents were made last year by women
is an indication to the New York Press
of how thoroughly the gentler sex is en-
terlng into the practical activities OF
modern life. Many of theseapplications
relate to such industries as textile manu-
factures and railway and electrical de-
vices. The unselfsh spirit Of the fair
inventors IS exhibited by the fact that
among the products Of their genius are
improved braces, button hole flower
holders, self attaching neckties, sleeve

nOma,tloat,d Animals LIys LONGEST,

Animals live much longer in domesti-
cation than in wild state. This Is
easily understood to be on account oil the
better food aud the shelter they got. A
horse will live thirty years aud work
constantly if properly cared for, and
cases have occurred in which horse Of
this age has never had one days illness
or been unable to work. Cows will live
and breed and milk for more than twenty
years. Sheep have been known to pro-
duce lambs aud be shorn for thirteen
years. Pigs will live ten years, and
mule under good care has lived and
worked until fifty years old. The posi-
bic productive life of our domesticated
animals is doubtless twice the present
common average. Dogs live eight or
ten years, aud cats even lOnger.-AmerI-
can Dairymau.
