TWO CURIOUS EDIFlCES.
One Church built from a Single Tree,
Another from a Single Rock.

A California church was built from
the timber of a single tree. The build
ing is in Santa Rosa and was erected for
the members of the Baptist communion
of hat place. The timber was taken
from a redwood tree that grew in the
neighborhood. The interior of the
church was paneled and finished with
wood, not a particle of plaster or other
similar material being used. The floors,
seatings, pulpit, roof and roofing were
all formed from material taken from
the same tree. aud after the building
was finished in every particular stuff
enough was taken from it to manufac-
ture 6o,oo0 shingles, besides a large
quantity of seantlings, joists and other
dimension stRiis.
The following story comes from Wa
%terloo. Ia: The members of the Pres
byterian church decided to erect a new
place of worship. Stone was scarce; in
fact. there were no quarries and no rock
suitable for building purposes nigh at
hand. At last their attention was called
to what was apparently a large bowl
der which stood in the middle of a I plain
about eight miles from the town. This
huge mass of r6ek was like an island
in the midst eff a vast sea. About eight
feet of it projected above ground. The
work of exeayatiag this gigantic bowl
der was at once begun. When exposed
to view ii was found to be 2S feet high,
30 feet long aud 90 feet wide. On this
monoiith the Ncri men began their la
bors with drtll ard hammer and dyna-
mite. ae3 tie enormous rock was con-
verified irto building stones. The pieces
were coENat ea to the town, and before
lop@ a wonderful meiamorphosis was
~appnrent. and then this n;ant bowlder,
after resting undisturbed for countless
Years ard buried by the deposits of
ages. was transformed into a beautiful
church. In is rourh state this rock
is estimated to have weighed more than
$500 tons.-Architecture and Building.

Time is moulding eventst O.
ward the mysteriously delayed
future of the great empire of
Central Idaho. Conditions are
fermenting which will surely
push the iron rails into Idaho
county and when that is done,
although the great kingdom OF
mineral, timber, and dozens of
other rsources north of us will
still be isolated, another link
will be driven from the chain
which holds the gate from
swinging open. With a road
into Grangeville, there is hope
that the nearness to Florence,
Warren, Rapid river, Seven
Devils and the mineral resour-
ces of Washington county will
strike on the view, possibly
coaxing it still further south,
until it reaches Weiser, and
then the grandest empire OF
the west will take on itself an
active glory and the state wax
great under north and south
road. 1t seems impossible to
get a road that is demanded
BY natural law and CONNER,
cial need based upon resour
ces that anywhere else would
be gobhled up instanter.

FIRES ALONG SHORE.

Millions of Property In New York Pro.
tected by a Fleet of FirebOats.
With the growth of a large city, the
protection of the water front from the
ravages of fire becomes an important
study, almost as important as the study
AZ fire protection for the city itself.
Nearly every large city in the United
States owes it's growth to it's nearness
to some body Of water, either lake,
river or sea. which offers exceptional
advantages for the transportation of
immense quantities of merchandise,
and also provides ~harborage for al
manner of craft engaged in this work.
This merchandise has to be stored
somewhere during the process Of load
ing and unloading these vessels, and
the big warehouses and wharf build
ings along the water front serve this
purpose; but very often the most val
liable cargoes are stored for a time
in the flimsiest kind of buildings, need
ing but a spark. to start a destructive
conflagration.
AS q city increases in size it's i'm
portance as a freight center grows in
proportions; and the value of freight
and merchandise stored along shore,
during transit, in a big city like New
York, can only be imagined. No rea-
sonable valuation can be given, for we
should have to dive too deeply into the
amounts of imports and exports to get
anywhere near the truth; but it is safe
to say that 500. OO0, 900 would scarcely
cover the property exposed to the dan.
ger of fire, in a signle day, among the
piers and wharf houses of New York
city.
Nor is this danger confined to piers
and wharf buildings alone, but vessels
in the act of loading and unloading
valuable cargoes, the big bonded are
houses along the river front, the docks
for great ocean steamers, and the
freight stations of many big railroads
are also exposed to this risk, and need
to be well protected, for a serious fire
among them would destroy more valu'
able property than perhaps a fire of the
same extent in the very heart of the
city.
Fires along the shore are difficult
ones to handle. There is always more
VI less Win near tHc WdttT, IL d Rdls
is blowing it SEM to have twice as
much force on the water front, and /;
fire once started here spreads very rap
idly. Then fires on the piers, or in the
wharf buildings, r usually very hare
to fght-although there is plenty o
water all around, it is difficult to ap
ply it to a good effect. The land force.
can only fight such a fire from one
position-the street side; and if the
wind is blowing inland it drives The
smoke and fire directly at them, ant
makes it nearly impossible to hold thi'
position. 1t is here that the floating
fire engine or fireboat can do it's valu
able work; and New York possesses
fleet of such vessels-three boats tina
are fully able to cope with a fire of al
most any size, whether it be among thu
shipping, alongside, or anywhere il
the harbor.-Charles F. Hill, in st

of n Mountain Slips ON.
There was q tremendous landslide in
Waitsfield, VT, during a recent raging
storm, and the scene after the storm
was a sight to behold. Talk of western
cyclones! Here is a sample of the east
ern works of nature in action which is
simply marvellous.
Il was standing near the brook in the
potato field when l saw it," said Hollis
Mahuron. 1.-THE brook made so much
noise l didn't notice anything unusual
until l looked up and saw trees, roots
and all, shooting into the air, and tim
Der and rocks and earth tumbling over
and over, 20 or 80 feet high and extend
ing out over the valley 90 rods or more.
WAS l scared?
well, to say l was scared would be
putting it mildly. My first thought was
of the Johnstown flood and the next
was of my family, and you better be-
lieve l never left that potato field SO
quickly before
1t was an instance where action
meant life, as the ten or more acres OF
meadow land in the vicinity now buried
under immense piles of timber and flood
would bear testimony.
Beginning at the top of the mountain
is a short slide of about 20 rods, which
doesn't connect with the main slide.
Farther down another of 25 rods in
length slants in from the north, while
about one-third the distance from the
main. brook to the mountain top q third
slide of similar length slants in from
the south. From this the main slide
dug an immense trough over 100 feet
wide and Is feet deep, extending down
the mountain until it made a turn
around the ledge about two miles from
the root, where it narrowed and then
swept out a channel 100 feet wide for
the rest of the distance.
Pen cannot describe the scene as IL
appeared to those witnessing it. Trees
were thrown into the air and snapped
buried and crSshed and forced down
the declivity, followed by a torrent of
water SO muddy that beholders said il
looked like a stretch of plowed ground.
Acres of timber were discovered, pine,
spruce and maple ground together
among the rocks until it is one long
stretch OF a pulverized, shapeless mass
with the channel between, swept clean
to the rocky bottom.
The slide is on the same mountain
side as that which occurred June II,
1927, and which was about 400 rods
long.-Boston Globe.
