Annual Rings On Forest Trees.-In
all the timber trees of the temperate
portion of our country the wood of the
stem is laid on in sheets or layers
which, on any cross section, appear as
so many concentric rings. Generally
these rings are sufficiently we'll defined
to be readily counted, and, since only
one is formed each growing season,
they furnish very convenient record
of the particular cross section, and, if
properly chosen, of the age Of the tree.
Viewing a cross section of the stem of
a pine, fir, cedar, etc., these concentric
yearly rings appear ss alternate mar
row bands Or lines of lighter darker
color, the dark line, or summer wood"
occupying the outer portion OF any one
ring and being sharply contrasted
against the lightest portion of the in
ner, lighter, or spring wood" part OF
the next ring.

Foreign View of American Agricul-
ture.-The French delegate Monsieur
Zolla, who is investigating American
agriculture, is delighted with the in
telligence of American farmers and the
great variety and abundance of their
farm stock and agricultural products.
He praises our agricultural schools as
superior to those in France. He says:
"These schools are numerous and they
are conducted in splendid buildings,
with every convenience; that the ap-
paratus for teaching the best methods
of dairy work. of stock feeding, and
of general farm economy are complete
and admirable. You spend so much
money on these schools. But then you
have it to spend, and we are compare
lively poor. l have received every
where, from your minister of agricul-
ture at Washington, Mr.. Wilson, from
your state officers, and from every
farmer l have met, the most obliging
courtesy. "-Ex.

Pure Evaporated Fruit.-A. r.
Spawn, who was formerly in Australia,
but has recently located an evaporat-
ing plant in Tacoma, says one of the
things most needfui to Americans to-
day is an improved system which shall
give to consumers a more Clearly and
unadulterated article in the prepared
or manufactured food products. Legis-
lation providing strong penalties for
offenses is required.-Ex.

That Seed Distribution.-The gov
eminent seeds. The Rural New Yorker
says: The free seed distribution is as
much of a bugaboo as ever. Secretary
Wilson was inclined to distribute the
seeds according to the original design,
which was to import and distribute
new, rare and promising specialties.
But the comptroller of the treasury has
decided that the language Of the ap.
preparation as passed by congress is
mandatory, and that the only course
left open to the secretary is to adver-
tise for seeds all put up ready for dis
tribution, and the commonest kind Of
seeds at that. He can't even buy the
seeds and have them put up for dis
tribution. The whole thing is farce.
The writer received some of these
seeds the past spring, as he has for
several years, and among them were
varieties grown by market gardeners
for the past forty years. But the sys-
tenn must tickle the farmers, as it must
please the congressman who think
that they can buy the farmers for a
pinch of cabbage or onion seed.

snlendid Crxstals In California.

Some time ago John Z. Burton of
Lake Geneva, Wis, leased the right to
prospect for crystals in the old Green
Mountain mine, near Mokelumne hill,
In Calaveras county, Cal. He found
number of fine specimens, and one of
them is claimed to be the largest group
or mass of crystals ever found. AS taken
out from the drift where it was uncov-
cred it was IL feet inches in circum-
ference. 1t was feet Q inches long, 3
feet inches wide and 8 feet inches
high. It weighed 2,200 pounds. The
mass included one large central crystal
and q surrounding group Of smaller
ones. From the central one it was esti-
mated that a perfect sphere IA inches
in diameter could be cut, while several
others from three to eight inches in
diameter could be obtained from the
mass. Mr.. Burton has found In all
about 10 tons of crystals. Engineering

THEHORRORSOFWAR
HEARTRENDlNG- CONDITION OF THE
REFUGEES AT Ell CANEY.

Babies Dying In Mothers' Arms From Hun
ger-Men and Women Fought For Food.
Many Refined Women. French, German
and English. Among Them.
Writing under the date Of July ii
from Ell Caney, near Santiago Louis
Seibold, the New York World CORE
spondent, in describing the condition of
the refugees from Santiago, says:
l witnessed the distribution of ra-
tions to the refugees last night. Men
and women fought for food. Children
were dying i'll their mothers arms
while the latter were pleading for
food and medicines. One woman, a
mother with four children, one of whom
was clasped in her arms, threw herself
at my feet while l was talking with
Captain Brice, who is in charge Of the
commissary department at Eel Caney.
She begged piteously for food for her
dying child. Although medicine was
given to the little sufferer, it died later.
Many white women of refinement
French, German and English - are
among the refugees, and although their
personal suffering is most pathetic they
bear up bravely. The English, German
and French consuls are living in tents
and sharing their limited stores of food
with the Cubans and Spaniards and the
children who swarm in the public
square, clamoring for food. No shops
are open, and many people who have an
unlimited supply Of money can buy
nothing. A French gentleman who has
an invalid wife offered ten goldpieces
for q can of condensed milk.
More than 200 people are sick with
typhoid fever, measles and starvation.
One house of ten rooms is crow.ls ed with
nearly $50 persons of all classes, includ-
ing many white and pretty women. In
this house are ten cases Of sickness. The
town is policed by one troop of the Sec
ond cavalry. There are only four doc
tors and l. priests.
Clara Barton says: II visited Caney
and was shocked at the condition of the
women and children. They chung to my
skirts and pleaded for food. There are
l,400 tons of stores on the transports
clustered thick in the harbor of Siboney,
but there is no way Of getting them
ashore in sufficient quantities The neg
lect OF the government to provide light
ers and transportation over roads deep
in mud is outrageous. Unless relief
comes many deaths will occur. Medi-
cines to save and prolong life are IL
miles away, while the people are starv-
ing to DEATH
English Consul Ramsden asked me to
describe the pitiful condition of the peo-
pie, so that his government might learn
of the plight of 100 British subjects.

French Ghost, Hunters.

Members Of our own Society of
Psychical Research, which, by the
way, has not been much in evidence of
late should be interested in the fate
which has befallen the French body
with identical aims known as La So
ciete DIES Sciences Psychiques. The
latter has just been reduced to state of
hopeless disruption by the conduct of q
section Of its adherents who, presum-
ably weary Of confirming their psychical
researches to the chasing Of elusive
,spooks," have gone astray after such
iivelier branches of occult science as
the preparation Of talismans, the con-
cocting of love philters and the telling
OF fortunes.
The earnest ghost hunters, disguised
py this descent to the methods of the
common or commercial charlatan, have
resigned in body and formed new
society OF their own. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that those who remain
nave not proved themselves wiser in
tneir generation than the seceders, for,
while ghosts are Enthusiastically "off"
IN these days, the interest in other forms
Oh mystical quaclery seems to be as
strong and widespread as ever. London

BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.

j. ID. Hoeckstra, Cnc of the Wounded,
Describes Some Incidents of the Fight.
1--WE reached Ell Caney on the 30th,
land on the LIST our squadron was order
cd to charge up the San Juan hill, I"
says J. d. Hoeckstra, one of the wound
ed heroesfrom Santiago. 81 shall never
forget that day. The battle began at
6 40 in the morning and lasted till
Yearly midnight. 1t was war to the Bit
ter end. The Spanish fought bravely.
They did not give up without strug-
gle can't tell you of that day in de-
tail 1t is like dream to me now. The
smoke was rolling all along our lines
and the cannon splitting fire at few
seconds intervals. We of the cavalry
had to take our share of the brunt Of the
fighting.
Sin the midst of the fight 1 saw a
Cuban shoot Spaniard, and then, hor-
rible as it seems that Cuban deliberate
ly drew his machete and cut off the
Spaniards head. The body had not
struck the ground when that head was
seen rolling like cannon ball. 1t was
soon after this that l was wounded, and
remember no more till found myself
being carried off the field after the bat
tie.
"Our division took 1 10 prisoners, and
heard that any number Of them had
their heads cut off by the Cubans, who
had been given charge Of the prisoners.

ALLEGED DEATH OF GARCIA.
Cubnn Junta irs Nothing Further Con-
corning II.


Cuban Junta nc irs Nothing Further Con-
corning II.
New York, july 22.-The Cuban junta
has received no further news concern
ing the reported death Of Garcia. but
Counsel Horatio s. Rubens says that
communication with the forces in the
field is irregular. and although he is
greatly surprised. he does not find IL
hard to credit the dispatch.
During the assault On Santiago" he
said, Garcia was in the west with his
command, with the special duty OF In
tercepting reinforcements and cutting
off the retreat of the Spanish soldiers.
When the city fell his duty there was at
an end, but, it appears. the attack on
Manzanillo was then planned. Manzan-
lilo lies to the west. and it is, therefore,
probable that Shafter detailed Garcias
command to cut off reinforcements
