Air in Jumps.

Comprising air until it will remain
compressed without any pressure upon
it," are the few words with which q
writer in the Electrical Engineer de-
scribes the new product, "aerine," or
hquefied ALTERNATING that, though
requiring an enormous pressure to get
it in such a form, it will remain there
for some time in the open air; that is,
until it gets heat enough from the
surrounding air to turn again into its
natural state. It will turn mercury
into solid form as soon ms it is poured
into it, and freeze thermometer rap
idly. Such is the assumed prospective
usefulness of this liquid that predio-
tions are made of distant water pow
ers now running to waste being soon
employed COMPRISING the very air we
breathe into a liquid form and ship
ping it to all parts Of the globe for
industrial purposes.

COLOSSAL TREE IN MAINE.
Trunk IL Twenty-Three Feet Around
and Bfanchea Contain band Stand.

Trunk IL Twenty-Three Feet Around
and Branches Contain band Stand.
Jay, Me-, claims one of the biggest
trees in Maine. 1t stands on the banks
of the Androscoggin, on the lawn of the
late Dudley Bean. The circumference
four feet from the ground is 23 feet,
diameter seven feet. About six feet
from the ground there are seven
branches radiating from it's trunk,
which are from 10 to "a inches in diam
eter. The branches spread over space
OF ground 300 feet in circumference, or
90 feet in diameter. Where the branches
leave the trunk of the tree about seven
feet from the ground there has been
erected band stand, which seats 25
persons. A cooler place on hot days
cannot be found. A Boston gentleman
was riding by recently and the tree at
tracted his attention. He examined and
measured it and was astonished at it's
dimensions. He went away with the
remark that if the tree was on his lawn
$4,000 wouldn't buy it. 1t was set out
~ years ago by Lafayette Bean on the
day OF his departure for California,
whence he never returned.

Tree. That Grow Flutes.

This is the asofar, which grows in the
southern districts of Num- 1t Yields a
gum known to dealer. as gedaref, or
senaar gum. DR.. Schweinfurt tells us
that when the wind blows among it's
branches it produces sound very much
like that of flute. These musical
properties are due to the fact that the
base of the thorns, with which its
branches are plentfully provided, is
perforated by an insect in search of the
sticky sap. The wind blowing in these
little holes transforms the thorns into
miniature flutes.

A New Country o pening.


Most of the old settlers of

definite knowledge concern

comprising the entire northern
portion of the as ricultural
lands of the county.
This tract of ar nble land
comprises a strip of country
between the Middlefork and
Lolo and extending as,ward
from their confluence to the
kooskia mountain a distance
OF something over tw enty miles
and ranging from four to eight
miles in width.
A few occupants have gone
in on the westward IF the L.o-
10 trail since the opening of the
reservation, and few more
have scattered themselves east
from kamiah and north of Stu.

on the Camas Grounds proper

In this stretch of territory
there are many sections of fer
