fOrnia Redwood.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
A superb specimen of California red
wood is now on its way to London, Eng
land, in the ship Maria Hackfeld, which
sailed from San Francisco on May IS.
Through the press it has already become
famous on two continnts as the "Astor
table top" from the fact that it was ship
ped to William Waldorf Aston, who will
use 1t as a table for dinner TO be given
by him at his residence in London

the end of three or four hours they had
completed the "undercut" a wide notch
extending entirely across the tree and
about a quarter OF the distance through
it. Dscarding the axes, the men then
went to the opposite side of the tree and
with crosscut saw proceeded to cut
through to meet the 'undercut," deep
notches having been previously chopped
in the sides of the tree to allow the twelve
foot saw cutting play across the greater
diameter. As the saw cut its way into
the tree large iron wedges were driven
in behind it to keep the kerr or cut
open, and later to serve the purpose of
topping the tree and giving ii the proper
direction in falling.
The saving process occupied another
two or three houEs and was discontinued
when the cut was within foot or SO of
the notch.
Then with huge mallets, or mauls, the
loggers commenced methodically to drive
in the wedges a heavy blow on this one
and a light tap on that one, according to
the direction to be given the falling tree.
With its fall came the ringers and
"peelers," the former with their saws cut
ting notches, or rings, around the tree
through the bark at convenient distances
apart, and the latter with long chisel-
pointed steel bars peeling. or rather pry-
ing off the sections of thick bark thus
preparing the trunk for the log-sawyers
to cut up into portable lengths. In this
instance the first length was comparative
ly short yet it represented a days work
for one man, who in "squaring up the
rough and cutting off the section, was
compelled to saw around and around the
circumference in order TO use his twelve
foot saw to advantage.
The Grating of the section, to prevent
| breakage, was the next operation, and it
was then ready to be dragged by the ca
BILE logging engine to the railroad over
which 1t would be carried to the shipping
