OLDEST OF LIVING THINGS.
Great Trees of California That Are
said 60 Antedate 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. 1t
is handsomely illustrated with num-
ber 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 zig trees:
"The dimensions OF the big tree are
unequaled. It's age makes II the oldest
living thing. The majestic beauty Of
the big tree is unique and world re-
nowned. II 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 seat
tered groves OF big trees are privately
owned, and are. therefore, in danger of
destruction, Laundering Is rapidly
sweeping them of. 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 n surviving prehistoric genus OF
trees once widely distributed over the
globe"
Mr.. Pinchot says that before the gla-
cial period the genus OF big trees. called
sequoia, fourished 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. It's bark
Is often two feet thick and almost nom
eombustible. The oldest specimens
felled are ssill sound at heart and FUN
gus is an enemy unknown to 1t. Yet
the big trees have not increased their
range since the glacial period. and have
Just managed TO hold their own on the
little strip OF country where the cli-
mate Ia locally favorable.
The finest Of all groves, the Calaveras
grove. with the biggest and tallest
trees, came into the possession of a
lamberman ON April 1, 1900; in short.
the majority OF the big trees of Cali.
tornia. certainly the best Of them. are
owned by people who have every right
and, In many eases, every intention OF
cutting them down for lumber. Many
OF the notable trees In the CalRveras
grove are 100 feet In height and 20 to %
feet In diameter. The St&nislaus. or
South CalaveraA grove, contains $50
big trees. The Nariposa grove has les
rees over 90 feet In circumference.

At A CORBETT REHEARSAL.
A WOMAN REPORTER OF THIS
NEWSPAPER SEES THE FAMOUS
PUGILIST box AND WRITES
HER VIEWS.
By Polly Hazel.

There is nothing more interesting to
women than perfect, physical man
hood. Never mind what women say,
they admire the athlete even if the
athlete happens to be a pugiilst. Tnls
Is especially true in the case of James
]. Corbett.
A short time ago I saw Mr.. Corbett
work. The gymnasium was crowded
with women. There were lot of gid
dy, historical girls in one corner; calm,
sef-possessed widows clustered togeth-
er here and there, and staid married
women galore. And there were boys
with popping yes and men who looked
on with the gamblers instinct.
AS Mr. Corbett came forth from his
dressing room arrayed in white knee
tights. pink boxing shirt and blue stock
ings, there was chorus of Abs" The
girls giggled, the widows looked shyly
from under their lashes, the staid mar
ried women gazed with trapped stare,
It began.
A bag covered with leather which re-

sembled a pear OF gigantic proportions
more than anything else, hung from a
board. Mr.. Corbett nonchalantly pulled
on pair of small gloves and tapped
the bag. 1t bounded to the board and
back to his hand. Then he went to
work. With one hand and then the
other he met 1t with furious speed un-
til it seemed TO grumble its complain
ings. The speed and accuracy with
which every blow was delivered bewil-
dered and confused me.
The accuracy of each blow and .Ae
changing from one hand to the other
were clever in the extreme. The ath-
lete never seemed to slacken his pace or
breath until the call of thine" came.
Then the strolling walk until the same
word brought him back to the work
again. He seemed to me to perspire
too freely and too quickly, but as am
told that three minutes continual
punching is considerable of an effort /

tension of the metal OF the steel blade.
this being tapered from the heel up
wards. to THE top Of the boot, and Is
held in place by two agnt but broad
straps which clasp the slender ankle
and give it a wonderful amount OF sup
port There are many men who will
be glad to ADOPT this, and the skate is
practically the same price as those
without the support. Weak ankle ska
tiers should always avoid the clamp
skates. and should use the old style
broad clog and two straps. 1t may not
he quite as stylish but there will be
much more comfort.
English friends have this season CIV
en- us an Improvement on the bicycle
skate, which. it will be remembered,
was introduced only few years ago.
The new idea is shown in the size of
the wheels. These two wheels are
much larger. being fully FIVE inches in
diameter, and are fitted with pneumatic
