SOUTHERN FORESTS.

Engineering Magazine

Engineering Magazine.
The facts disclosed by the investigation
of our Southern pine forests. and the man
agement of their timber resources, cannot
but lead 10 the conviction that we have
already entered upon an era involving their
complete distinction. SlGpendOus as these
resources appear. as illustrated by the
figures quoted in this paper. any doubt
about their depletion within a compare
lively brief period will be removed if, on the
other hand. those figures are considered
which relate to the ever-increasing draft
upon tie forests. No one is more aware of
the inevitable result of the present treat
meDt of these forests than those actively
engaged in reaping the harvest of timber,
to mature which nature required centuries
of time.
There is no need to dwell here on the
calamities which would follow t;le eXtinc-
tIon of the industrial ana commercial in
terests connected with the forests, upon
dependent for existence, or to contemplate
the evil consequences of the destruction of
the high forest over large areas in affecting
existing conditions of climate and soil
These themes have become truisms, which
in our day can escape no one taking an
active Interest in affairs affecting our ma
terial welfare. Still, with all The light
afforded by science and the teachings of
national economy. there exists popular
disregard for matters pertaining to forestry,
and little headway has been male in the
to secure TO Dosterity some of the advan-
iages of the forest wealth now enj>yed in
this country and considered so indIsDensa-
bic to our prosperity.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

STOCKTON, March 3O.-The passengers on

no one was seriously hurt, though the car In
which twenty-five persons sat was broken
in at one end and half the roof taken of
Just ahead Of the passenger-car was fiat
car loaded with long, wrought-iron pipes
six inches In diameter, shipped from San
Francisco to Hayward & Hobart at the
Utica mine.
At curve in the track, when about four
miles out, and while the train was running
thirty miles an hour, the pine commenced
rolling off. and pieces struck the ground so
they were driven against the front of the
passenger-clr The crash OF broken
timbers and glass was frightfui, but the
quick action Of Conductor Stafford probably
saved a number of lives. He instantly
threw on the air-brakes, aud brought the
train TO a stop
Several passen gers were under the fallen
timbers and broken seats. but only two
men were hurt. One was a passenger for
Angels, who had a deep cut in the calf OF
his lett leg but he kept on his journey.
The other man received a long cash on his
head, which bled a great deal and made him
very weak, but he took the stage at Milton
and went on TO Angels.
Bob Patton, the stage agent, was collect
ing fares at the time and received blow on
the head from the falling timbers of the car
roof, but was not badly hurt. How the pas
sengers escaped serious injury is a mystery,
as seven were seated in the end Of the car
which was crushed in. The momentum OF
the train was so great that some of the big
pipes were broken in two. and one piece
was wedged in the roof Of the car.
AS soon as the wreckage could be cleared
the train ran on to Milton and returned here
late in the afternoon.

HOMES FOR woRKINGMEN.
The Peabody and Other Efforts to Inn
prove Them.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger
The question of providing homes for the
workingmen of Philadelphia has been
largely solved by her building associations.
The result is that this city has the largest
number of houses owned by workinrmen
in any of the great Industrial centefs of
this country or abroad. There still re-
mains, however. a large class OF men
either too poorly paid or too improvident
to own their homes or even to rent a
house for their families. To meet their
cases ard to raise the "slums" from their
wretched condition the Beneficent Building
Association ana few good men and women
have been working to supplant novels and
crowded tenements by decent homes. Re-
Gently ii has been proposed to build large
apartment-h0use on the plan adopted in
BROOKLYN. in which woTkmen can rent
apartments at moderate rates and get decent
homes for less money than they pay now for
unsanitary novels in the miserable streets
and alleys where they are obliged to live to
be near their work. This plan has natI-
rally attracted attention tn the efforts made
in other cities to find the best solution of
the difficult question OF how 10 provide de-
cent comfortable homes for the poorest peo-
pie within their narrow means, yet healthy
and cheerful.
The largest and most Important as we'll
as the most successful operation of this
kind, is that'of the Pea body donation fund
endowed by the late George Peabody, for
London. Begun during his lifetime, in
1865. it has gone steadily op in its benefi-
cent work. and from Mr.. Peabody's own
muniicent endowment of 50. SOC. 600 with
one generous gift of over $4,000 from an
anonymous friend, and the increase of the
capital, due to its careful management, the
fund at tho close of 1891 represented an
expenditure of over s6.000.000 with which
the Peabody trust has provided for the
laboring poor OF London 11.2T3 rooms, be-
sides bathrooms, laundries aud washhouses.

The fight Of the projsctiles. as il appeared

by. They have acknowledged it by display

signal is then hauled down, after which
those OF the observers are also doused as
they severally announce their readiness.
All is ready. Suddenly we perceive a
white cloud about the bow OF the
NeSusius, and then from this bursts
forth round black object, which, as il

little m ore than half what the Il Oosac tunnel
which is about the same length, cost. In
some places the canal is more than 260 feet
deep, and in no place is it to be shallower than
twenty-four feet, while the width at the bot
tom is eighty-sX feet. For half mile from
its northern or Gulf of Corinth end the sea
water has already been admitted. There
has been no great amount of rock 10 remove,
the chief things encountered being sand at
the top and stiff clay at the bottom. Walls of
masonry laid in hydraulic cement have been
built up from the bottom far above the water
level to prevent the clay bands from thrust
ing themselves out into the canal.
There is, OF course. q possibility that an
earthquake may do lots of mischief, but
none has occurred during the ten years In
which the canal has been in process Of con-
struction. 1t remains to take out a few
hundred thousand cubic yards of clay and
rock. and to pump out few thousand mil
lion gallons Of fresh water, so as to get to the
bottom and lay up the walls OF Corinthian
limestone where they have not yet
been constructed before opening the
canal to vessels and converting the PeIopon-
nesus into an island. More than 1000 men
are at work. The enterprise was under
taken by French comnany in 1882 but its
agent, the COmptoire d'Escompte, failed in
consequence of the great copper specula-
ton. After delay OF TWO years a Greek
company took up the job and is now carry

FELINE PERFORMANCES.
The Simple Truth About the Puzzling
Conduct of Some Brooklyn Cats.

Conduct of Some Brooklyn Cats.
New York sun.
The rear yards in the neigb0rhood of
Ninth street and Sixth avenue, Brooklyn,
are a favorite resort for an astonishing
number of cats. 1t is a residence locality,
and so quiet that the cats have no difficulty
in hearing themselves and one another
when they lift up their voices. The fences
are usually pickeied with cats, and nobody
paid much attention to them until doctor,
looking out of his rear Office the other day,
saw thing that surprised him.
A well-behaved iabby was picking her
way daintily along the fence Of an adjoin-
ing yard when she suddenly fioated upward
with all four legs extended horizontally. She
rose perhaps yard or q little more, came
TO stop, and then fell out of sight on the
further side of the fence. The doctor had
been casually observing cats whenever
he glanced out of the window, but
he never before had seen a cat levi
tate just as this one had. He put it
down as q manifestation of feline eccen-
trieity, and thought no more about it until,
glancing out of the window few minutes
later. he saw n cat OF another color poised in
the air with outstretched legs directly over
the spot from which the other cat had as
cended. His eye had caught the cat at the
moment of eQuipoise, and he saw her descend
out of sight as did the first cat. The
doctor was interested. The usual process
sions of cats were moving along the fences
and he remain ed at the window. As often
as cat came to the spot to W hch his atten-
ton was directed the animal arose from all
tours simultaneously, as each Of the others
had done. and the doctor abandoned his
hastily formed theory of individual feline
eceentrIcitY. He saw cat after cat perform
this levltation act, some falling on one side
of the fence and some on the other. and
then he put on his hat and started out to
investigate.
There really was no mystery about IT.
