ANTIQUE OAK THAT IS OLD.
Beautiful Results With Pieces Buried 0n-
 der Chicago 1000 Years Ago.


 White oak logs Chat have been bar, dno jed under the site of Chicago Tor l'Uoo years have just been put to use. fIoI' Ossian Guthrie, the Chicago geologlst !, who has studied the local strata anU helped to unearth the remnants oL some of these prehistoric trees, mas just come into possession of two teliet brushes made from this ancient oah' that have surprised the manutactuf- CT of imitation antique" Yoods Dy the wonderful celor and polish or which the genuine antique oak IS cap able. No precious woods that nave ever been imported into Chicago are so marvelously beautiful IS these specimens with which Prof Guthrie has just been presented.
 Most of these prehistoric logs nave been resurrected from the 1Q00-yeaT- old graves to be divided up among the museums and universities of the couh- try. Walnut, willow, beech and most of the modern native woods Lave been dug up under these glacial deposits and alluyium of seventy eeaturles' put the white oak, the same tree eyldently that flourishes in the parks day, Has been preserved best of all.
 Some frightful cyclone appears 10 have bent and laid low tue trees at first. The iron fibre is bent and twist ed in nearly all of them in one partic' uIar spot in the trunk, and 1t Is eFl" dent that this was the cause that hrsb buried the giant forests under the sands and alluyium. Some or these trunks have been followed by ProT. Guthrie in the excavations for streets and houses for many feet. One trunk in Sheffield avenue, was unearthed TOT seventy feet. o.
 Evidently this forest was the first growth after the glacial period. It lies close to the glacial clay, under the al- luviaI drift, at a general depth of four teen feet. The cyclone apparently laid the forest low, and the sand and drift were blown up from the lake and GOV cred it. The water formed an alright capsule about the trunk, aud kept It from decaying.
 Of late years, however, the surface sewers have drained the water away from the trunks, and the bark and out CT layers of wood have gone to decay. The iron fibre of the inner wood is still intact in most of them, however. The wood from which Prof. Guthrie's souvenirs are made was dug up near the corner of Calumet avenue and Thirty-ninth street, where many of the trunks are being chopped away in sewer excayatng.
 No imitation antique wood has ever attained the singular beauty of this old oak. It is dark. almost 8 greenish black, the result of hundreds of years discoloration by the surrounding wa ter. The polish which it has attained is unlike anything ever seen by wood importers. The fibre of the wood was found almost as tough as iue wire in working it up.

The Best Ar Temperature.

The conditions affecting the temper. ature of the body other than those due to physiological conditions are very numerous First and most obvious is the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. It is a ell-established fact that an average temperature of the air of 54 degrees Fahrenheit is best adapted to the public health, for at that temperature the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter is slight and normal temperature is most easily maintained. Every degree of temperature above or below that point requires a more or less effort of the heat-regulating power to maintain the proper equilibrium. Even core potent in elevating the bodily temperature Is the introduction into the blood. wheth- CT by respiration or by direct injection of putrid fluids and the gases of de. composing matters. If this infection is repeated at short intervals, death will occur with a high temperature.
 The air of cities contains emanations in hot weather from a vast number of sources of animal and vegetable de. composition, and the inhalation of air so vitiated brings in contact with the blood these deleterious products in a highly divided state which causes a fatal elevation of temperature in the young, old and enfeebIed. The sama effect is produced by the air in close and heated places, as In tenement houses, workshops, schoolhouses. hos pltai wards and other rooins. where many persons congregate for honra
