magnetic. It's magnetic influence il
not only known to the navigators Of
those waters, but Is much feared By
them on account of its influence on the
magnetic needle, which makes the cor
rect steering of ship a matter OF
much difficulty. This influence Is felt
at distance of ten miles, and so pail
pably, that on the island being sighted,
mariners on the Baltic at once dis
continue steering their course by the
needle, and turn, instead. to the we'll
known lighthouses and other signs by
which to direct their craft. There are
several magnetic islands and points
along the Atlantic coast of South Am
erica. Near the mouth of the Rio de
la Plata is a famous magnetic point

known as the Punta Nigra-and navl-
gators of vessels bound for Buenos

scription, and one reason for it's aban-

ness for Geographic station owing

one hours ride from the hotel, says
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. If the smallest CT these trees
could be planted anywhere in Pennsyl-
vania the railroads would run excur-
sion trains TO it and make money. The
trees in this grove are so large that it
takes a good while to fully appreciate
the facts about the size of the biggest
of them. The Grizzly Giant" is 81 feet
through at the base and over 100 feet
high. This tree would overtop the
spires on the Pittsburg Cathedral by
over 100 feet. The trunk OF this tree
IS 100 feet clear to the first limb, which
is 20 feet in circumference. Many other
trees here are very nearly as large as
this one, and there are 400 in the grove.
Through several tunnels have been cut
and four-horse stage can go through
these tunnels on the run and never
Craze a hub. You get an approach to
an adequate idea of their size by walk
ing off 100 yards or so while the stage
is standing at the foot of tree and
glancing from top to bottom, keeping
the stage in mind as a means of COM
parison. The stage and the horses
look like the little tin outfit that Santa
Claus brought you when you were a
good little boy. These trees are no
longer to be called the largest in the
world, however. A species of eucalyp-
tus has been found in Australia as
large or larger. Emerson warns us
against the use of the superlative but
when you are in this region of the
globe you can't get along without a
liberal use of it. He himself says of
Yosemite: at is the only spot 1 have
ever found that came up to the brag."
And as l stood in the big tree grove 1
remembered that some one called EN-
erson himself 1.-The Sequoia of the hui
