SOUTH JERSEYS BURIED CEDARS.
Thousands of Giant Trees Centuries Old
Lying in the Swamps.

DENN1svILLE n. j.. May 13.-To the north
and east OF Dennisvillc are great swamps OF
pine. cedar. gum. and oak trees. Beneath
these. buried deep in the black. mucky soil Of
the swamps. are other great trees centuries
old. At one time this part OF New Jersey was
covered with a vast forest OF cedar trees, and
the red cedar has been the only variety found
in the buried forests. From the soundness Of
these trees. it Is declared by men OF science
that they were alive when they fell to the
ground and that probably a terrific storm
swept across southern New Jersey and lev
elled thousands of acres OF forest.
Evidences Of the immense size Of these fallen
cedars are found. Only a few days ago a red
cedar was unearthed in Cedar Swamp Creek
that measured six feet in diameter. 1t was
only the heart or centre growth. With the
bark and middle growth attached the tree may
have measured from ten to twelve feet in di-
ameter. Trees even larger have been brought
to the surface in the Dennisville swamps
that would equal the giant redwood trees OF
california. Recently an Indian canoe in a per-

Each Others Deception.
The Church Gazette tells story that

happened in the days when English.
men OF pretension stood on their dig
hlty during Il railway journey, and
travelled in state in first-class carriages

these days, when nobody minds riding
third-class, it is a little amusing.
Two church dignitaries who lived
near Tunbridge Wells met at the rail.

the other prebendary. They were 60
ing IN the same direction, and entered
hrstclass carriage together. Arrived
at a junction a few miles off they said
good-by, and parted, or tried to part.
FIVE minutes later, the canon, in a
somewhat surreptitious manner, enter
ed third-class railway carriage to
continue his journey in a more econom-
lcal fashion. To his surprise there sat
the prebendary in one corner. Each
had desired to leave in the mind of the
other the impression that he always
rode first" and each was determined
to save his money by riding more eco
nomically. The guilty pair had caught
each other. There was little hum.
ming and having, and then they both
declared that first-class carriage was
too stuffy in summer, and they really
preferred to 90 third.
