Notes On Liona.

The tongue Of lion is so rough that a
close look at it will almost take the skin
off tho locker 1t is not safe to allow
lion to lick your hand, for if he licked the
skin off and got taste of the underlying
blood, supposing it to be there, he would
want the hand and everything adjoining
thereto. Nothing more perfect in modern
machinery exists than the mechanism by
which a lion works his claws. He has
five toes on each of his fore feet and four
on his hind feet. Each toe has a claw.
Nothing about lion is without reason,
and the reason he has more toes and claws
on his fore than on his hind feet is that
he has more use for them. If this were
not SO, the majority would be the other
way. The lion is nocturnal by choice. He
has no particular objection to daylight,
but likes to spend it in the bosom of his
family, or at least adjacent TO it. 1t should
not be supposed that because he roams
about at night that he neglects his family.
He roams in order TO fill the family larder.
He kills to eat, not for amusement. He
never bothers small game so long as there
is big game within reach. When feeling
fit, he can take an OK in his mouth and
jump fences and bitches like professional
steeple chaser

100 men in the house. Absenteeism has
been the curse of this congress, which, the
Democrats say, is because of their excess

done much, and the bigger part of what it
has done has been approved by the people
The Sherman silver law was repealed, and
there are few or none to grieve for it. The
federal election law went next, and though
the publicans kicked hard they are now
more than reconciled, and why not, seeing
they have captured New York city, West
Virginia and Tennessee, with half each of
Maryland, North Carolina and Missouri?
The Populists are equally satisfied, as they
have revolutionized North Carolina, scared
Texas badly and agitated Alabama. AS
TO the Democrats-why, they have got to be
satisfied, as they have no chance to kick.
1t is a case much like that of the fox hunt

the sport was in the highest degree merci-

that they enjoy it. We know that the men
enjoy it, and nobody can prove for certain

WHERE THEY MINE TIMBER.
Cedar Logs Taken Out of the Ground
Where They Have Lain For Ages.
Especial Correspondence

ISpccl2l correspondence
DENNIsvILLE, n j., Dec 31-rt Is moro
than so years since cedar timber was FIRST
taken out of the ground here, and not only
are the timber mines then first worked
still productive, but there seems to be NO
reason to anticipate their early exhaustion
1t should not be understood that the cedar
is petrified, as might be supposed, for IL is
not, but rather preserved, after perhaps
ages of burial, so well that upon being
taken out the wood is to all intents and
purposes as firm and sound and as fit to
be used in building operations as Ii ever
was.
How did the buried timber get there'
Scientific men say that there was once a
vast forest here in the vicinity of Cape
May, the trees being tall and straight and
of unusual size. When this growth Of
timber was at its best, there was some
sort of a convulsion of nature that laid
the trees low and sunk them and the
ground in which they grew far below
their former level Then they became COW
cred with soft mold, which, added to
the natural endurance Of cedar wood, has
preserved them to the present day.
The first tree was discovered in 1919 by
q south Jerseyman, who was amazed al
most beyond the power of words by the
further discovery that the timber was in
excellent preservation. His neighbors be-
lieved that there must be more trees In the
neighborhood, and they began at once to
search for them by prodding in the earth
with long iron rod. When 1t struck a
hard substance, they dug down, and, sure
enough, there was the tree. Further search
ing showed more trees-in fact, thousands
and thousands of them, and their mining
speedily became an industry which has
been prosecuted with more or less vigos
ever since. Not every log is found to be
perfectly sound, bat nearly every one Is
quite fit for beams, boards or shingles.
When a tree has been located anti found
to be sound, it is cut off near the roots and
top with a saw somewhat like those used
by ioemen. Then a trench Is dug the
whole length of the trunk, the ditch Is
flooded, and the timber rises with the wa
ter.
In some places the logs lie crisscross on
the surface of the swamp In countless
numbers, and In no case have they been
found at greater depth than five feet be-
low in this immediate vicinity. This
means no more, however, than that the
digging has never been carried below that
depth here. IL is considered certain that
there are many layers below the top one.
a few miles away they have been found
II feet down, and at Cape May a log was
encountered by All artesisn well borer GO
feet below the surface. The wonderful
preservation of the wood continues after IL
has been dug out and man ufactured, and
there are tubs and pals still doing duty
hereabouts that were made so years ago

In prairie life is the lack of forests, to
which. by tradition and habit, they have
become attached. Every farm has its
patch of growing forest trees, carefully
tended, but these do not entirely I'll the
bill, and there is frequent talk Of a whole
sale emigration to the timbered regions of
the far northwest, though it is not likely
to materializc. The mulberry tree has been
most freely planted, and silk worm raising
is successfully followed by numbers of the
settlements. There is not profit enough
in it for the American, but the patient
Russian reaps harvest which fully salts

The women are sturdy and energetic.
They work beside the men in the field on

On the whole, they have succeeded ad-
