by them, and what was the stand OF
quite generally answered, and the re-
plies showed that a total area Of H.
664 .626 acres. or about 43, 200 square
miles, was reported upon, with an ave-
age stand upon II of 1880 feet per acre.
Nearly all of this area was In the east
ern states. The stand Of timber aver
aged by states ranged from 5000 up
to Al 200 feet per acre, the latter stand
being in the state of California. The
erage stand In the southern states, in
GLIDING pine and hardwood, was 5000
feet. and In New England $500 feet.
These figures of average stand. how
ever are misleading, since they repre-
sent no the average of the timber
land of the country, but the best OF
1t, quality having largely determined
the selection of lands. 1t would, there
fore, be unsafe to accept these figures
OF stand as the average, even for the
lands which are covered with mer-
charitable timber. The average stand
OF the wooded regions of the eastern
country must be far below these fig
ures. Indeed, estimates OF the stand
OF southern pine show the much low
er average OF about 1900 feet per acre
for the entire region. Judging by the
above facts and numerous other
straws OF evidence which 1t would be
tedious to enumerate here, I have
come to the conclusion that the aver
age stand upon the wooded lands In
the east probably does not exceed 1900
feet. The area of woodland In this
part OF the country is a little less

THE FISH KNEW HIM.
A school of Ten Thousand Followed a
Man to lie Fed.

~
Man To he Fed.
Mr.. Albert Jeffries of ARRAY. Col
tells a new fish story. He has recent
ly started a hatchery on the Beaver
creek. five miles above Gunnison, Col.
and has a number of pools constructed
to hold his fish. To keep the fry in
the pools he put screens at the lower
enis. Bits of liver. which he used as
food for the fish. caught In the meshes
OF the screens a few days ago, causing
an overflow and permitting the escape
of about 10000 trout. Planning TO
recapture the whole lot the following
day he went to look for a place where
he could build a dam further down
the stream. He was much surprised.
he says. to find that the whole school
OF little fish were following him as he
walked along the bank. He turned
back and the fish turned and still fol-
lowed him. He kept on until he
reached the pool from which they es-
capped. and an assistant let down the
screen, making the whole school once
more prisoners. Mr.. Jeffries' explana-
ton Is that the fish were hungry from
twenty-four hours fasting and instinc-
lively followed the man who had pre-
viously fed them.

Population of London

The population of the city of Lon
don within the municipal and parlia-
mentary limit, is very much smaller
than nos people imagine, and strange
to say 1t is decreasing as years go on.
In 1881 1t was 50,65s, in 1891 It had
fallen to S7,7O5, and in 1896 It was
only 3l,l4s. This is due to the fact
that the city is devoted entirely to
business, and the tradesmen and 9TH

Bali-Rooms for Apartment Buildings.

Convenience of apartment life in
New York has been yearly increased,
and there seemed to be no detail in
which 1t could be improved until the
enterprising builder of an upper west
side block thought OF a feature which
has hitherto been lacking even in the
most expensive houses. Only half a
dozen New York. apartment houses are
so built that 1t is possible to entertain
In them on IN but a modest scale.
Large gatherings are, as a rule. out OF
the question. Now an architect has
planned a building which Is to be sup
piled with a large ball room sufficient
ly spacious to accommodate several
hundred guests, and there are also
rooms Of smaller size for less elaborate
entertainments. The builder who set
aside so much space for this purpose
believes that 1t Will be an excellent in
vestment. as the increased rent OF the
apartments is expected to pay for the
loss of practically the space needed for
an entire apartment.-New York Sun.

A PUEBLO
Story Of Deiiverence Of h Puebios by
In PsIefsces.

tho PsIefsccs.
Through all the grotesque darkness
OF Pueblo superstition, writes Marion
Hill in Frank Leslie's Popular Month
ly for October, runs a bright thread
OF poetic legend; and one legend, since
1t is woven around the ruined estufa
In the ruined Pueblo OF Pecos, has a
right to be told here. Pecos was
founded by the man-god, the great
Montezuma himself, and he therefore
probably felt a protective interest in
1t; at any rate when the usurping
Spaniards lay upon the conquered
Pucblos a cursed rule OF restraint and
wrong, Montezuma invoked against
them the aid OF his brother gods in
heaven. These told him to plant a
tree upside down beside the chief es-
tufa of Pecos, and to light a holy fire
upon h altar. and II the fire were
kept burning unit! the tree fell, then
would there come to the rescue of the
oppressed a great pale-face nation, and
deliver them from the Spanish thrall.
SO the fire was lit, and q sentinel was
posted to guard its sacred flame; and
the tree was planted-under the cir
cumstances the planter would be ex-
cusable In planting the tree as inse-
curely as possible. But year after year
passed, and the tree remained stand
ing. Sentinel succeeded sentinel, and
the flame lived on Generations with
cred away, yet deliverance seemed no
nearer. One day there came a runlor
from old Santa Fe that the city had
surrendered to a white-faced people.
Was this the band Of deliverers? That
day at noon the sacred tree topped and
fell. Spanish rule was no more. The
prophecy had been fulfilled. II there
be an unbeliever OF this legend, let him
go to the ruins OF Pecos and see for
himself that whereas the city was
built upon a mesa SO barren that no
trees are there nor ever have been
there, yet across the crumbling estufa
lies the fallen body of a pine OF mighty
growth. The like of 1t is not for
many miles around. Whence then did
1t come?

A Trip to Chicago from St.
Louis Made in 80 Hours

John l.. French OF 81. Louis is the
first nan To make a trip from st.
Louis to Chicago on an automobile.
He made the distance OF $50 miles in
thirty-six hours, Notwithstanding the
fact that he encountered bad roads
and was frequently retarded by fol-
lowing wrong directions. He travelled
without a chart, and did not try to
use the most direct route. He made
the journey to prove that the horse
less carriage could be used satisfac-
tOrily on dirt roads of the country
and that II could be depended on to
climb hills and to wheel through deep
mud.

drive was made is OF phaeton pattern

"The man who CLEANS his living
from the farm pays expenses, educates
his children and gives his home the
comforts the age demands, need not
expect that he is going to become
very rich"
Well. we'll. l should say he was
rich.

that? All you want to eat not only
all, but what you want to eat, what
you want to wear. A home with the

the good things they may, we shall
