OLDEST OF LIVING THINGS.
Grent Trees of California Thnt are
Said to Antednte the
Glacial Period.

Clifford Pinchot, the forester of the
department of agriculture, has com
piled pamphlet on the big trees OF
California, which has just been issued
from the government printing Office. II
is handsomely illustrated with num-
Der OF fine pictures of the great trees
showing their size as compared with !
that of other conifers. Mr.. Pinchot pre-
sents the following salient facts re-
garding big trees:
The dimensions of the big tree are
unequaled. Its age makes it the Oldest
living thing. The majestic beauty OF
the big tree is unique and world re-
| nowned 1t exists only in ten Isolated
groves on the west slope of the Sierra
| Nevada mountains and nowhere else in
| the world. The Mariposa grove is the
| only one of consequence which is COM
pletely protected. Most of the scat
| tered groves of big trees are privately
owned, and are. therefore, in danger OF
destruction. laundering is rapidly
sweeping them off. Forty mills and
logging companies are now at work
wholly or in part upon big tree timber.
The southern groves show some re-
production, through which there is
some hope of perpetuating these
groves. In the northern groves the
species hardly holds its own. The big
tree and the smaller coast redwood rep
resent a surviving prehistoric genus OF
trees once widely distributed over the
globe"
IN 41,nt NofC hn A.
cial period the genus of big trees, called
seauoia. fiourished widely in the tenn
perate zones of three continents, and
Europe. Asia and America each had its
share. But when the ice fields moved
down out of the north the luXuriant
vegetation of the age declined, and one
after another the different kinds gave
way until only the big trees and the
redwood survived. These trees have
come down to us through the vicissi-
tudes of many centuries, solely because
of its superb qualifications. Its bark
is often two feet thick and almost non
combustible. The oldest specimens
felled are still sound at heart and fun
gus is an enemy unknown to it. Yet
the big trees have not increased their
range since the glacial period, and have
, lust managed to hold their own on the
little strip of country where the eli
mate is locally favorable.
The finest of all groves, the Calaveras
grove, with the biggest and tallest
; trees. came into the possession of a
lumberman on April 1. 1900; in short
the majority of the big trees of Cali
fornia. certainly the best of them, are
owned by people who have every right
and. in many cases. every intention OF
cutting them down for lumber. Many
of the notable trees in the Calavera'
n grove are 800 feet in height and 20 to ?
: feet in diameter. The Stanislaus. OF
South Calaveras grove. contains 1.3e'
big trees. The Mariposa grove has II
# rees over 40 feet in circumference.

HILL SPEAKS IN RICHMOND
Ex-senator Addresses a Large Crowd
of Virginians.


Richmond. Va, October 2.-Although the
weather here tonight was intensely dis
agreeable. a cold. drizzling rain falling. a
large crowd assembled at the Reservoir
Park casino a mile from the city, to hear
Hon. David Il. Hill of New York, speak
Mr.. Hill was introduced In few appro-
pirate words by State Democratic Chair
man j. Taylor Ellyson, and was accorded
an enthusiastic reception. Mr.. Hill S
speech was largely confined to con-
stitutional argument against Imperialism.
He hardly touched upon the financial Is
sue. He said that as Imperialism was the
paramount issue. ii was natural and prop
er that he should confine his address to
that theme. He stood squarely and on
the bred Scott decision. under which,
he argued. the constitution applied to all
territory held by the United States. He
denied that this feature of the decision
had been either formally or informally re-
versed, and claimed that it brought the
territories and our new possessions under
the constitution. He distinctly and Wig
orously antagonized the proposition that
anti-slavery judges had delivered opin-
ions that contravened or dissented from
the cardinal doctrine laid down by Chief
Justice fancy as to the relations of the
constitution to annexed territory.
Mr.. Hill declared that it was right that
Bryan was given the democratic nominal
ton, and held that. in his public career
for four years. the nomine had not said
a foolish thing.
In conclusion. the speaker said that he
brought good cheer from the Empire state
that the people there were falling into
line: that the democrats were working
night ami day; that nothing honorable
would be left undone to gain demo-
cratic victory. and that the democrats
expected to carry the Empire state for
William j. Bryan.
Mr.. Hill was the recipient OF a good deal
OF social attention during his brief stay
here. He left late tonight for Danville
wher he will speak tomorrow.
