Hymn of the Republic.

DO you know what the national hymn
of this country should be- queried Wis
itor to the Capital of a reporter recently.
The gentleman expounding the question
has travelled extensively in foreign lands.
and has been in all parts of his own coun-
try, from Florida to Alaska and between
Maine and California.
The reporter studied IA little, and then
answered II suppose you mean Down
Upon the Suwanee River
The visitor rubbed his hands delightedly.
You have struck it exactly he de-
clared, land I'll tell you why am more
convinced of it than ever | went down
the Potomac the other night, on one of the
excursion steamers. There was a large
crowd, all good natured, and happy at the
idea Of having an outing. | sized the
crowd up going down, and I made up my
mind it was pretty cosmopoEtan-contain-
ing people from all sections of the country.
I flatter myself I can judge of where man
or woman is from, just from his or her ap-
pearance So that point is settled.
':On the return trip | sat with a friend,
native of New Hampshire, and North
erner throughout. We were on the deck
just below the pilot house. After we had
ridden a little time some young people be-
gan singing. They rung in the old-time
favorites, odd Black Joe, Dixie, Mary
land, My Maryland, which, by the way,
caused some emotion, and other new songs,
including My Bonnie, How Can l Bear
to Leave Thee? and others. Each one
caused few to chime it, but there was no
special enthusiasm
AT last the singers struck up Down
Upon the Suwanee River The effort
was magical In an instant it seemed to
me that everybody on the boat, including
my reserved companion, had joined in.
The plaintive air foated over the water to
the Maryland and Virginia shores, and was
waited upward in the starlight. When it
was finished there was complete silence for
a little time. | am not an emotional man,
but l felt my breath catch and the tears
came into my eyes.
my friend put his hand on my knee.
i always feel truer patriot when | hear
that sung, was all he said =

THE HEAVIEST RAINS.
Almost a. Foot of Water Has Fallen
in an Hour from So-Called
ClOudbursts.

Rainfall of the United States is the
title of bulletin prepared by Alfred J.
Henry. under the direction Of Willis l..
Moore. Chief of the Weather Bureau.
The report has this to say concerning
cloudburst>
The most violent rains. and at the
same time those of which least Is known.
are !hr so-callcd cl0udhmSS of the noun
famous and arid REGIONS Of the West.
These storms are not confined /" any par
tcilar State or region. bni may occur M
mountainous localities throughout the en-
tire territory bounded by the British
posses>innS ON the north. the Mexican
border ON the south, the foothills of the
Rockies on the east and the SielraS on the
west.
In the true cloudbmst the rain seems
to pour down rather than fall in drops.
1t often happens that the downpour occurs
over narrow basins or on mountain slopes
whose outlets are canons or gorges leading
to a valley or plain below In such cases
almost the entire amount Of water quickly
finds its way into the drainage channel,
and a. a result wave of water rushes down
the outlet with great velocity and in sllffi
cient volume to destroy everything i'll its
path Such Il food wave almost swept
away the town of Eureka, New, in 1874,
and caused the loss of fifteen lives. \ far
greater disaster occurred in Bear Greek
Canon, COL in July, 1896, when thirty
lives were lost and property valued at more
than 500. 600 was destroyed.
The amount of rain that falls in one
of these torrential downpours has never
been ascertained. \ cloudburst passed
over the edge of the little town of Pal
metto. New. in August, 1890. \ rain
gauge that was not exposed to the full in
tenSity of the storm caught S. so inches OF
water in an hour, In August, 1891, two
storms passed over Campo, Cal, within 4
few minutes of each other. The second
storm was IL veritable cloudburst. The
observer succeeded i'll measuring the ram
fall Of the first shower and Il portion Of the
second Eleven and half inches were
measured within an hour. The rain gauge
and support were carried away by the tor
rent of water. and the full record Of the
storm was not obtained

OUTPUT OF TWO FORESTS.
The Almost Inconceivable Amount
of Lumber. Out in Wisconsin
and Minnesota.

From the St. Nicholas
About 4, 100, OOo, 900 feet of logs were
cut in the season of 1895-tbat is to say.
what is equivalent to 4, 100, 600, 600 pieces
of board y inches square and l inch thick.
| wonder if even the lumbermen them
selves, and the og-cutters and the manu-
facturers of lumber in the great mills, rea-
lie what an enormous amount OF lumber
this is. Why, it would build a house
around the globe, with main room ten
feet high and large attic, ceiling up the
inside walls and roof with sweet, fragrant
pine; it would put down matched floor,
and then. when the house was all COM
pleted. there would be left enough lumber
to build tight board fences on either side
of the house, three feet and half high,
the whole distance around the globe. Be
sides all this. there would be shingles
enough for a good portion of the house;
and then, if the mighty builder of such a
globe -girdling house wanted to tit 1t up
little more neatly there would be large
supply of laths, and, | suppose, the plas-
terers could furnish him enough stucco and
lime.
Or if he wanted to construct roof
shelter for all the people on the globe, our
mighty builder could accommodate them
ALL allowing to each man, woman and child
a clear space of two square feet IN which
to stand. and still have room left over for
800. 900, 900 of men, with the same room IN
which to stand. And. to look at it in still
another way, this same builder would have
material to construct bicycle path of pine,
little over two feet wide, from the earth
to the moon, for there would be nearly
500. 900 miles of board foot wide and al
inch thick. In saving this lumber up into
the required length and thickness, there
was great waste in sawdust-so great. in
deed. that the sawdust pile would stand
112 feet high on Il city square, and 3O0
feet square at the base: and this Is saying
nothing about the vast amount of pieces of
slabs which are split up into kindlings.
This enormous quantity Of lumber repre-
scnts merely the output of two forests
one in the northwestern part OF the State
of Wisconsin. and the other in the northern
part of the State of Minnesota; and at the
rate the LOGS are being cut up there will
not be piece Of pine forest standing in all
this vast region at the end of ten years,
unless something is done by the Govern
ment to put a stop to the ravages.
