in November, 1881, and three furnaces

twenty tons of metal occupying eight

moment the doors of the furnaces were
opened, and the great flood of molten
metal came rushing into the pit which
contains the clay moll the size and

IEGuORN HATS,

Largo leghorns appear with their
usual regularity. They are caught up
ct the back in flutes, which are gen
erously filed in with flowers. Roses,
lilacs, clover, colored tulle, and black
velvet are the favorite trimming for
these large hats; but bows OF talfeta
ribbon in light tints are also used.
Tulle of two colors, pulled all around
the crown in trout to almost cover the
brim, is very effective decoration on
the shade hats of rough soft straw,
and white lace combined with tulle
and flowers or with plumes and a
touch Of black velvet makes very

! Recently several destructive fires
have played sad havoc with the Ameri-
can forests. Immense tracts have
been destroyed on Long Island, in
Northwestern Connecticut, among the
Adirondacks, in the neighborhood OF
Portsmouth. n. f., IN New Jersey,
near Concord, Mass, and in various
other parts of New England, besides
numerous destructive fires in the
Western States. In Massachusetts,
one of these irightful devastations
swept away the groves made sacred by
the pen of Emerson, and in the midst
of winch he imbibed the greater por-
tion of his quaint philosophy. Henry
D. Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne
were also tenants of these familiar
woods. In addition 10 the loss Of
forest trees there has likewise been
the incidental loss of property and
farm crops. Rarely Go fires of this
kind break out without destroying
barns and farm houses, and frequently
human life itself is sacrificed. The
Brooklyn Eagle, in explaining the
cause of these fires, fastens the re-
sponsibility upon hunters who camp
out in the woods and farmers who
have failed to take proper care in
burning up the rubbish which has col"
lected during the winter months.
There is, in :he opinion of the Atlanta
Constitution, need of vigorous legisla-
lion justhere in order TO prevent re-
currence os these frightful visitations.
Instead of allowing the forests to be
swept eway in this manner there is
every reason why these vast areas
should be preserved. The forest is
great protection to the land, and often
prevents the cyclone from executing
is mission of disaster and death. The
severity of these disturbances is miti.
gated and sometimes altogether pre-
vented by the obstacles which the for
est interposes in It's path. For these
aud other reasons our forest area
should be preserved.

GIANT CABBAGE TREE.
It is Twelve Feet High and Grows
in California.

III CuiliOrHid.
Everything in California seems TO
be big. Every school geography tells
of the big trees which grow there
trees larger than are found in any
other spot on the globe.
This story has to do with an enor.
nous cabbage. It has grown SO tall
that it is really tree. 1t is twelve
feet high and the stalk is as largo as.a
mans waist. For nine months this
remarkable plant has been growing,
and it has not stopped yet. 1t is not
the common cabbage, but belongs to
the colewort or kale family. 1t resem-
bles cabbage in many respects, but
the leaves do not form the solid head
which is characteristic Of the ordinary
cabbage. :.
In many Southern States kale is
highly esteemed as 'tgreens. Tho
small shoots are tender and edible,
tasting much like cabbage, whick it
resembles while growing, as well as
after being cooked.
The Isle OF Jersey is the homo OF the
kale plant. 1t is used there rs food
for the diminutive buff cattle which
have mado the name of tho island
known oil over the world.
This giant California kale tree was
grown on the grounds of the State
Agricultural College at Berkeley. The
college authorities soy that the leaves
are much relished by chickens, and as;
1t produces green leaves the year
around in the mild climate of Cali
