The Kanaka and the Mule.

can interesting incident happened
when L was in Honolulu" said Senator
Morgan. 'You know the natives are
swimmers. They take to
the water like ducks. One day cargo
of mules was being carried on barge
to steamer lying off shore, when one
of the mules jumped overheard and
made for the shore. When he landed
on the beach he looked around, and,
seeing all the other mules still being
carried toward the steamer, he went
into the surf again and started in the
direction of the barge. After he had
gone some distance a great wave came
along and turned him over. When he
righted himself he was absolutely
wild, and blindly headed out for mid
ocean. The men on the barge watched
him for awhile, and then the captain
asked if it was proposed to let the ami
NAL drown. Quick as flash one of the
Kanakas sprang overheard. swan at
a tangent to intercept the mule. and,
reaching the animal, climbed upon his
back, and by clever tactics directed the
animal to the steamer, riding him like
q centaur in the water all the way

A QUEER RAILROAD.
Built Upon the Tops of Tall CaIifOr-
mia RedwOOds.

Built Upon the Tops of Tall CaIifOr-
mia RedwOOds.
In these days ofadvancede engineering
railroads have sought and conquered
many remarkable places. Here in the
United States we can ride up and down
mountains just as if they were little
hills, and hurry along the brink of
gorges that make US SILVER when we
lcok down. From California, however,
comes the strangest railroad story and
picture for a long time. 1t tells of and
shows a train that actually runs over
tree tops.
What a singular sensation it must
be to realize that one is following a
tuning, splitting locomotive over the
very places where kind nature intended
birds should nest and that delightful
quiet found among dense foliage reigns
supreme. This railroad down in Sono-
ma county, Cal, between the Clipper
mills and Stewart Point, is not exactly
a passenger line, but it is railroad in
every sense of the word.
It so happens that when the railroad
comes to a place about equi-distant
from the two points mentioned, huge
ravine is encountered, the sides and
bottom of which are heavily wooded,
two giant redwood monarchs of the
forest towering far above the less pre-
tentious growth and imparting an air
of almost regal impressiveness.
Now, it was very necessary that the
railroad should cross this ravine. It
was also true that the building of a
regulation railroad bridge would hard
ly pay, and this is where real genius
came to the rescue. If the reader could
stand either at the edge of this ravine
or on one of its sloping sides, he would
see that strangely enough the growth
of the trees and their position is such
that their tops can be cut off and an al
most level surface of stumps be Sc
cured.
This is what genius saw, and hence
! the railroad across the tree tops. In
the first place, the big redwoods were
sawed off IS feet from the ground, this
being the exact height from the bot
tom of the ravine to the level of the
| tops of the trees. Next, trees on either
| SlQe were sawed OH OF SuIuclcHt lcuSl III
to render their tops in a direct line
with the tops of the redwoods, as well
as of the edges of the banks.
In this fashion was nature made to
provide the piers and superstructure of
the desired bridge. To the lumbermen,
even the California veterans, the project
seemed almost chimerical, but the
builders pushed ahead and presently,
one day, with snort of triumph, lit
tie logging engine pulled four fat cars
and a caboose over the tree tops.
Nobody ever heard of such thing
before. We have all been told of the
rope bridge, have read of the great steel
structures that span several famous
1ivers, and many of us have seen these
triumphs of engineering genius, but
who is there that ever heard anywhere
else of a railroad bridge over the tops
of trees? 1t is by long odds the queer
est of the whole lot.-Philadelphia
