Newspaper from a Tree.

An interesting experiment was made
last April by paper and wood pulp
mandatory at Elsenthal in order to
see what was the shortest time in
which standing tree could be con-
verified into printed paper. This ex-
pertinent conclusively showed what
can be accomplished by modern ma
chinery and ingenuity In a forest
near the establishment three trees
were feled in the presence of the own
ers Of the mandatory at 1885 in the
morning. The trees were carried to
the mandatory, where they were cut
into twelve-inch pieces, decorticated
and split, The wood was then raised
by an elevator to the celebrating ma
chimes, The wood pulp produced was
put into vat and mixed with the nee
essary ingredients. Then the liquid
pulp was sent to the paper machines
and at 994 in the morning the first
sheet of paper was finished. One hour
and flfty-nine minutes was the time

the notary public who watched the en-
tire work, then took some Of the pa
per to printing shop little over two
miles away from the mandatory, and
at 10 o'clock printed copy of tho
Journal was in the hands of the party.
So 1t took just two hours and twenty
five minutes to convert the wood of a
standing tree into a newspaper ready
for delivery During the course of
this experiment there were a number

might have been avoided and the own

that the superstitious dread of the
"evil eye" is still lingering on in some
remote parts of England. According

although the absurd belief has almost
disappeared, the wearing of Charms

what was his surprise at observing
that the tree under which he had taken
seat had now become dead and with
cred. In the doorway of his home,
which, to his amazement, had also
suddenly grown older, he asked Of a
strange old man for his parents, whom
he had left there, as he said, a few
minutes before. Upon learning his
name the old man said:
"Alas! Taffy, have often heard my
grandfather, your father, speak Of

be released until the last sap of that
sycamore had dried up. Embrace me,

In September, 1892, girl gathering
drftwood for fuel on the shores of a
small bay near her home at Gamma, in
the far Hebrides, Scotland, picked up
piece of wood bearing the inscription,
cut with a knife, "Lachlan Campbell,
Bilbao, March 23rd, 1892" 1t was the
name of her brother, who was boiler
maker in Spain, and on showing 1t to
her mother the latter was naturally
somewhat disturbed, and could not
help superstitiously regarding this
mysterious message from the sea as
the herald Of evil tidings respecting
her son. In her next letter to him she
mentioned the circumstance, and was
greatly relieved on receiving a reply
assuring her of his well-being, but
was astonished to learn from him
that he had remembered how, when on
a holiday, he had cut his name as
above described on piece Of wood,
and had idly thrown it into the sea
from a rock near Bilbao. There Is
nothing wonderful in the fact that this
piece of wood should, after drifting for
six months, have been carried hun
dreds Of miles away by the winds and
ocean currents, but that after its long
wandering it should have been washed
on the shore within hundred yards
of where the writer's mother lived, and
that 1t should be picked up by one OF
his own family, is sufficiently mar
velous coincidence to be accounted in
credible were it not substantiated by
evidence.

The Moon.

1t is an interesting fact that our
moon contains about the same number
of square miles as North and South
America, but the volume or bulk Of
the earth is almost fifty times greater,
and 1t would take 6O,00O,O0O Of moons
to equal the sun. AS 1t has no at
mosphere to protect it from the suns
rays, its heat in daytime is intense
strong enough to boil water-while at
night the cold is frightful, being sew
eral hundred degrees below zero. The
moon is q dead cinder; if it ever had
air and water, they are now absorbed
in the porous lava that covers its sur
face. 1t has twenty-eight mountains
higher than Mont Blanc; ten Of these
are over $4,000 feet high, the two high
est-Mounts Liebnitz and Dorfel-be-
ing almost $4,000 feet high. These
mountains have been measured with
greater accuracy than any Of our own,
and in a general way the maps made
of the moon are more trustworthy
than those made Of the earth. The
extinct volcanic craters on the moon
are enormous. The crater of Clavius
has diameter of 1870 miles. By the
aid of powerful telescopes $4,000 era
tiers have been counted on the side OF
the moon which we see.

The recovery Of the Frangipani ring
not long ago by Prof. Thode occurred
under very remarkable circumstances.
The relic belonged to the Creation
leader, Count Frangipani, who lost 1t
near Pordenone, in 1873 When on a
recent visit to the Marcian library,
Venice, for the purpose of studying the
history of that city in the sixteenth
century, Prof Thode met with a peas
ant who brought him curious old ring
Of gold, engraved with double scroll
of waved lines, leaves, and minute
Gothic letters, bearing a German in
scrlption. 1t had just been dug up
from the cell OF an old earthwork ut
Castell di Prata, near Pordenone, and
was offered for sale by the peasant
who had found it. On examining it the
professor found to his infinite surprise
that it was the long-lost Frangipani
ring which disappeared in 1513-the
very year he was at that moment in
vestigating.

omclais Of Leading Company Comment
on the Recent Loss.
From the New York Herald.
Recent press dispatches, reporting
the mysterious disappearance of a
large sum Of money in transit through
the mails from banking house in
Chicago to one of its western cores
pondents, prompted an inquiry as to
the cause for such an amount being
intrustcd to the postal service, and,
when approached on the subject,
prominent official of one of the leading
express companies stated that the last
year had witnessed radical change
in the transportation OF moneys, which
formerly had oil been forwarded by
express, but were now being sent in
many instances by mail, the aggregate
postage and registry fees representing
difference as compared with express
rates that tempted many To depart
from the old method and adopt the
new.
The official added further that fire..
quent train robberies hal compelled
the express companies to 60 to great
expense i'll equipping their through
ears with stationary combination safes,
which as recent "hold-ups' had prov
en-, afford security against any at
tempts on the part of road agents to
get at the contents, but that even
should they succeed in the majority Of
cases little would now be obtained for
their pains on account of the diversion
Of the moneys from express TO the
mails, and it would not be unnatural
to expect that "Uncle Sam" would
soon have his hands full looking after
the protection of the valuable parcels
in his care, ~ train robbers will, Of
course, go where the money it, and it
is now in the mail instead Of the ex-
press car.
Inquiry as TO what steps the express
companies would take to regain the
traffic elected the reply that they had
expended oil the revenues from this
source in the past in surrounding the
money with every possible protection
and running down and furnishing
thieves, and that they would simply
wait until such losses as the one re-
ferred TO and the attention OF train
robbers to this new channel for trans
porting moneys proved it to be neither
q successful nor profitable experiment.
