WHERE rs THE NARoNIcR

A IattFA Hope Left.

New York, March S.-Although nc
news has as yet been reported concerning
tho White Star freighter Naronic, which is
25 days overdue, still old seanen do not
give her up yet.
The agents of the White Star line hoped
that the Italy, just arrived, might bring

makes it all the more doubtful that the Ma
ronic can be safe 49,. :,
The Italy sailed from London on Feb, ",
the same day that the Nar0nic Heft Liver

She is the ship that lost her captain and
eleven sailors in the hurricanes and seas
that the Naronic must have encountered.
This ship came into port with q rev
crew, and when the old sailors On board
who had passed through the storms, hearc
the facts about the Naronic, they shool
their heads osnSnously.
The Apollo, Wilson line, has come intl
this port with no news of the Naronic,

Steamship Companies Competing.

LIVERPOOL, March SIN view of the
improvement of the Mersey bar the Cunard
Steamship company has arranged to have
its boats sail at a fixed hour Saturday af-
ternoons, regardless of the tides. Conse-
quently, the tedious delay connected with
the taking on of the mails at Queenstown
will be obviated. The Cunard company
have also arranged to run a special express
train between London and Liverpool, so as
to meet the competition Of the American
line, whose boats dock at Southampton.

vessels which have been beneath the
waves for hundreds of years have shown
the timbcrs to DC as firm and solid as
when placed in position, yet this state
of preservation is due to the action of
the briny substances with which the
wood has been saturated offsetting the
destroying influences.
Eut the life of n wood, cut off by
storm or the act of man or beast from
the nutriment of the earth, when that
life and resistance to decay is extended
into centuries, proves wonderful to the
most conservative scientists. Instance
arc rare whcrc the wood, dead IS Far as
connection with tho vital force Of roots
and earth is conccrncd, and left ex-
posed to the action of climate and vege-
Table and animal matter, has failed to
suecumb to decay within century.
In the office of the Pacific Coast Lurn-
Der company in Chicago Is a specimen
of wood remarkable for its longevity
and presenting valuable lesson in
natural history. 1t is a small slab of
fragrant cedar, compact and unscamcd,
presenting tho appearance Of o care

Mt the mercy 81 wind and storm for d
period extending over at least 700 years
TAcrc is nothing rrmarkabl" in timber
being taken from trees Known to have
lived thousands ef Years, but this little
slab is taker from n log that has been
dead, according to expert calculation,
at least 700 years.
Near the town of FairhaveIN wash,
and few miles from tho TNirhaven 4
Southern railroad is'a spruce and cedar
forest. Eor,Vears the inhabitants and
visitors have viewed with interest a
peculiar natural formation, and 1t be-
came ono of the sights of that section.
1t was n huge spruce tree, towering
high in the air and far above many of
it's sturdy ncighbors, healthy and
sound, although its feeders We're eX.
posed IN many dircctions. Down among
its roots, yet shove the surface Hf the
ground, was 4 good-sized cedar log, and
about this log grew the roots of the
tree. Firmly secured was it, only to
be removed by the hand of man
through the Destruction of its pro-
tector.
The woodsman, scientist and mathe-
matician have decided that the spruce
trcc was ut least five hundred years old,
and from the size of the log it must
have taken in the ncighborhood of two
hundred years to attain its growth.
The ends and major portion of the
body of the log had been exposed
all these years, and last fall, anxious to
gain some idea of tho longevity of
Washington cedar, some responsible
men cut the roots away and liberated
the wVll-sca%onCd prisoner The log
was millcd, being cut into small slabs,
and the result was n surprise to the
most sanguinc. Not n weak spot ex-
listed, and the SLABS presented the ap-
pcarance of carefully nurtured and
cured wood. The fiber is firm and solid,
the grain is almost artistic in its per-
lection, tho color is rich and dark, and
the fragrant odor of cedar still remains
In its perfection it has proven sur
prise and gives tn" palm for everlasting
life to Washington cedar.

TIE appropriations made in the SEES
sion of congress just adjourned amount
to $500, 900, 900, which with what was
given at the first session, will rub bill
lion pretty closely, if it shall rot exceed
it. But we would advise republican
journals to pause before breaking out in
derisive laughter over what they may
claim to he extravaganza equal to that
of the notorious billion dollar congress
over which Gar Reed presided. Many
of the appropriations of the present
session, as well as of the previous one
have been on account of obligations i'm.
posed by acts. ''of eXtravagant predeces,
sors. When republican legislation has
created expenses which will continue
for years, it is neither possible noI
proper for democratic caucus to evade
their payment. The money must come
to pay them, and appropriation bills
must be passed adequate to the obliga.
tions that have been imposed. Thus one
billion dollar congress begets another

gance of the first becoming matter Of
