Telling the Great Trees.

The chopper approaches the tree
with a plumo-line; il the top does not
lean more than two feet in the case OF
a large tree, OF more than four in the
case Of a small one, he considers that
he can fell it in any direction he may
desire. He then views the ground,
aud selects tue PROMISING layout,
and the undereut is made exactly fac
ing it. The ''undercut' usually ex
tends about one-third through, aud
then the tree is sawed in from the back
to meet it. When the two cuts are with
10 six inches Of meeting. the saw is
removed, and the tree is wedged up
up until the top passes the center Of
gravity, when it falls by its own weight
easily breaking the strip Of wood re-
naming, says a writer in the EngiE-
eering Magazine.
Where the surface Of the ground is
such that it is necessary for the butt
and the top to strike the ground sim
nltaneously, the stump is snubbed of
at the undercut, which provides a
slanting surface, so that the butt has
no place to rest, and per force slides to
the ground. II the tree needs to be
rolled off TO one side half the undercut
is slanted, and a pile of chips is placed
on the fiat surface of the other half;
the result never fails to manifest the
eff ieacy of this device. Again, by
leaving one side Of the uncut wood be-
tween the undercut and the saweut
thicker than the other, the tree may be
drawn considerably away from its nat
ural course.

A Victim of Tslspathy.

There came to me late one night
stranger, in widest despair, resolved to
commit suicide that night if l could
not help him, says Prof Munsterberg
in the January Atlantic" He had
been a physician, but had given up his
practice because his brother, on the
other side Of the ocean, hated him and
had him under his telepathic influence,
troubling him from over the sea with
voices which Knocked him and with
impulses to foolish actions. He had
not slept nor had he eaten anything
for several days, and tile only chance
for lite he saw was that new hypnotic
Influence might overpower the mystical
hypnotic forces. | soon found the
source Of his trouble. In treating him
self for wound he bad misused cocaine
in an absurd way, and the hsllucina-
tions Of voices were the chief symptom
of his cocainism. These produces of
his poisoned brain had sometimes ref

hypnotized him, and suggested to him
with success to have sleep and food and
a smaller dose of cocaine. Then /
hypnotized him daily for six weeks
after 10 days he gave up cocaine entire
", after three weeks the voices dis
appeared, and after that the other
symptoms faded away. 1t was not,
however, until the end that the tele-
pathic system was exploded. Even
when the voices had gone, he for
while felt his movements controlled
over the tcean, and after six weeks,
when | had him quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathie sbsurdities,
but assured me that il these sensations
came again be should he unable, even
in full health, to resist the mystical in
depreciation, so wildly had he felt the
distant influences.

The large and fertile island Of Panay
produces sugar, rice and sapan wood in
abundance, and there are indications
Of petroleum and coal in some places
Owing to q lack Of roads, it Is next to
impossible to bring the produce to the
shipping port, Iloilo, unless at an ex-
orbitant and prohibiilve cost. This
island and its neighbor, Negros, are
most promising fields for railways, the
port of Iloilo bidding fair to be the
principal exporting center Of the archi-
pelago at no distant date. In 1850
Negros and Iloilo exported about 500
tons of sugar. In 1897 the production
was close TO 10000 tons. Rapid CON-
munication would increase the yield
fOur-fold in a short time.

Of Uling, the outeroppings indicate the

of millions of tons could be extracted
with very little mining. This is the
largest coal bed thus far discovered,
aud at fifteen miles of railway the
mineral can be put down in the port Of
Cebu at a cost Of rather under than over

owners have found it to be fully as good
as the best Japan lump. With an
abundance OF cheap labor, coal and

as rope works, sugar reineries, cement

States Senate Welded an influence
second TO none.

mending them 10 the care Of tlmighty
God, offered his life to bis country. to

to give his cwn. What grea;er sacritiee

Two Empires.

Capt. A. t. Mahan contributes a
most excellent article TO the current
number of the Engineering News. 1t is
excellent in the way in which it con-
trasts the methods of the two great
eolonizing nations of modern tines
Great Britain and Spain. France ard
Holland as colonizers do not belong to
thesame class. They have not trans
mitted their national characteristics 10
the colony but have rather adminis-
tered from without.
The close of the nineteenth century
sees the United Stat Is in virtual pos
session of the bulk of Spain's colonial
empire-a string of islands which
practically encircle the globe. There
could not be better contrast in en-
pires. Spain has left her colonies i'm
poverished and half famished; Eng
land possesses hers in comparative
plenty. Both are the result ofadmin-
istration.
Spain from the very first was inhu-
manly oppressive 70 the inferior races,
and she spared not even her own de-
scendants in the colonies, for when
they became aliens she became to them
tyrannical and exacting. She OPP
pressed and extorted; she endeavored
10 make her colonies pay her own
debt, points out the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
On the other hand Great Britain has
been beneficent to weaker communi-
ties. And not only benefcent but she
has been strong as weIl-strong in the
quality Of men she has sent out to adj
minister and to colonize, strong to pro-
tect on land and sea Her energies
have always been directed TO the ele-
vation of the races. The conspicuous
examples of colonial administration
are India and Egypt.

Mason Turned the joke.

Senator William f. Mason has sew
eral friends in the life-insuranee busi-
ness, aud occasionally these gentlemen
have tried to talk business TO him. The
senator always put them Off by telling
the latest funny story, and in time they
came to understand that he was hope
less case and didn't care to take any
more insurance. The most eloquent
aud adroit solicitors had tried their arts
on him in vain.
Not long ago an insurance solicitor
came 10 Chicago from the East and as
associated himself with firm in which
are two of Senator Mason's friends.
The new maa was very willing and
ambitious and perhaps a trifle forward,
and so the members of the firm decided
to have a little fun with him.
One of them went 20 the new man
and said: II notice by the morning pa
per that Senator Mason has come back
from Washington. Now, 1 don't be-
lieve he carries very much insurance,
and ] think if you go over and have a
little talk with him yca can write a
policy for him.
The new man was on the alert in a
r..inute, says the Chicago Record. He
went to the senator's law Office and
waited there until Mr.. Mason appeared d.
Then he eornered him and began TO
talk.
'Hold ON, said the senator. Who
told you to come over and see me?'
The solicitor mentioned the names.
81 thought so. Well, my friend, they
have been playing a joke on you. In
the first place they re not anxious to in
sure me, because I'm too fat to be a
good risk, and, in the second place,
they know that I've turned down all
the solicitors who come around here.
They're pretty good jOkers, but think
we can turn the joke. I've been think
ing the matter over, and I've decid. d
that need little more insurance after
all. You may send in my application
for $4,000 policy"
When the new solicitor went back to
the Office and calmly handed in the
senator's application the two jokers
tainted.

Of the narrow on the highways, as the
roads can be kept in condition with
much less expense where heavy loads
are drawn upon broad tires than when
narrow tires are used. 1t is not only
for the sake Of the highway, but there
