AMERICAS WOOD GRowTE.
Forest Productions That OutrivaI
Any Other Country.

Although not producing some of the
fancy woods common TO some countries,
especially those of the Orient, the United
States far outrivals any other country in
the variety and usefulness OF her forest
productions.
OF oak alone there are about thirty
species in this country, and about the same
number of pine; thirteen of walnut and
hickory, eleven Of ash, nine OF maple, and
seven OF magnolia 1t is notable fact
that nearly all decidious trees. such as
birch, maple, and oak are found in the
eastern portion of the country, while the
coniferae or pines, are the prevailing yarie
ties in the western part Of the country.
OF the thirty species of oaks only about
six are found west of the great plains.
Besides the gigantic red wood which has
been SO often described. California boasts
the nutmeg tree of which four species
are known. This tree is an evergreen. and
it's wood is valued chiefly for its orna-
mental use. 1t produces nut about the
size of a walnut, resembling a nutmeg,
from which the name of the tree is de-
rived. The yucca tree is very abundant In
Arizona, and one species is thus described:
AT the height Of six or eight feet it d.
vides into a few long branches each of
which terminates with tough, sharp, bayo-
net-like leaves. about nine inches in length
The wood of this tree is made into paper.
Another variety of the yucca bears a
cluster OF fig-like fruit which is pleasant
to the taste. and when fresh is much
valued by the Indians. being dried by them
and preserved in the form of cakes The
leaves are made into cordage. The fibre
is also woven by some of the Indian tribes
into saddle blankets. and is even used in
making clothing materials. The whole
genus is endogenous-that is, they attain
their growth by accretions made within
the stem already formed, and not ex-
ternally, as in all other trees except the
palms, and there is. moreover, no percepti-
Bile difference between the bark and the
inside OF the wood

A WONDERFUL TIMEPIEcE.
Its Great Capacities Described by n
Noted Humorist.

What is. perhaps the most wonderful
watch in the world is in the possession Of
resident of Prince George County, I'D.
This remarkable timepiece, known as
the Matile watch, from the name of its
maker, was made at Locle, Switzerland,
,i,out forty years ago. 1t formed feature

at Philadelphia in 1876, and was purchased,
on that occasion, by its present owner. a
description OF the watch by Mark Twain
Oh. J.. Clemens) is as remarkable for ac-
curacy as humorous. The well-known wri-
ter thus gives his impressions of the mar
yelous piece of mechanism:
y have examined the wonderful watch
made by Mr. H. L. Matile, and indeed it
comes nearer to being human being than
any piece of mechanism / ever saw before.
In fact, it knows considerably more than
the average voter. 1t kaows the move
ments of the moon, and keeps exact record
of them; it tells the day of the week. the
date of the month and the month OF the
year. and VIII do this perpetually; it tells
the hour of the day, and the minute. and
the second. and even splits the second into
lfths. and marks the division by stop
hands, having two of the latter; it can take
accurate care of two race horses that start,
not together, but one after another; 1t is
repeater (wherein the voter is suggested
again, and musically chimes the hour, the
quarter, the half, and the three c-;aFter
hour, ana also the minutes that have
passed OF an uncompleted quarter hour, so
that blind man can tell the time of day
by 1t to the exact minute.
Such is this extraordinary watch. II
ciphers to admiration. i should think one
could add another wheel and make it read
and write. still another and make it talk;
and / think one might take out several of
the wheels that are already in it and it
would still be more intelligent citizen
than some that help to govern the coun-
try. On the whole. l think il is entitled
TO vote-that is. if its sex is OF the right
kind"
The watch was sold for 81, 400, and It is

FORTUNES IN HORSES.
Big Prices Paid by EngIfshmen mt n
Recent Sale of YearIInEs.
(From the London Nail.

1t is no axaggeration TO say that the
ncn-racing public have but the falntest
idea OF the extraordinary value of first
class blood stock at the present day. Ii
will improve their knowledge to learn that
al Newmarket yesterday twelve yearlings
bred at the famous Eaton stud by The late
Duke of Westminster sold at auction for
about $4,000 each.
Excitement was anticipated chiefly by
reason of the presence among the year
lings OF brother to Flying Fox, the Der
by winner Of last year, and for whom in
the spring NJ. E. Blanc paid the fabulous
sum OF 1880 guineas. 1t was however,
not by the Fox's brother. but by another
youngster. that the previous yearling rec.
ord was eclipsed.
Early in the sale Mr.. Sievier struck the
note of high prices by giving 5000 guineas
for the colt by 0rme, from Gantlet, and
his blood being up he knocked all prece-
dents into cooked hat by paying 10, 600
guineas for illy by Persirnnon while
later he supplemented these purchases by
taking the FLY by Trenton, from Sandiway,
at $500. He had previously expended the
triGe of 700 for a colt by Orme.
These results in themselves would have
been sufficient to make the sale memora-
bic for all time. but in addition the colt by
orme, from Kissing Cup, was knocked
down to the young duke for s, 100 after his
opponent had retired at a hundred less.
For Flying Foxs brother, the commoner
reconsideTing his determination, made no
bid, and so the duke got him for 800
guineas. which was a sad blow for those
who had prophesied his fetching i've ig-
ures.
Until yesterday Sir Blundell Maple held
the English record for money expended on
yearling, namely, 5000 guineas for Child
wick, who never distinguished himself be-
yond winning the Cesarewich as a four
year-old with stone 0 pounds.

Has an Anomalous Climate.
Hrom the Newcastle Chronicle.l

Saghalien. off the eastern coast OF ST.
IBERIA, presents a very curious anomaly Of
climate The island is bathed by two cold
ocean currents and in winter nothing pro-
tects it against the icy northwest winds
coming from Siberia. At the sea level the
snow falls continually and stays on the
ground till the end of May and the sea-
shore is very cold. Farther inland how
ever. especially as we go higher up. the
climate Is modihed-just the opposite to
what is observed elsewhere. 1t has often
been observed In Siberia and in central
Europe that in winter the cold is greater
in the plains and the villages and that the
bighianner5 have sensibly milder tenn
perature; it Is as II the denser cold air
accumulated in the lowlands.
The cold air accumulates in the low re-
gions of the island and on the coast the
higher regions have a more elevated tent
perature. So it happens that the lower
parts have an arctic vegetation, while tbs
intermediate attitudes have the vegetation
of a temperate zone, sometimes sub-trop-
ical. The birch. the ash. the pine, the fir
abound in the low regions and form often
impenetrabIe forests. but toward the centre
of the island appear bamboos, hydrangeas,
azalias. and other plants that oae is great
" surprised to meet and whose presence
can be explained only by the altogether
abnormal climatic conditions Of the island.

RAISING A PRIVATE ARMY.

ANY European statesman who AT criti-
cal moment in the affairs of his native land
began to raise a private army without max

statesman has been busily raising and
euuipping Il large force of soldiers, when
he Will pay and perhaps direct himself.
and no one knows whether his intention is
good or evil.
Since he was young man the statesman
has raised several private armies. Al
though he is not a gifted military COM
mander himself, he knows almost instinct
lively capable general when he meets one.
and lucky has it been Tor China that he
possesses this capacity. He can obtain
excellent soldiers, moreover. The men
who enlist under LIS banner know that
their pay Is sure, and that their food viii

they happen to do anything notable and
worthy their employer is sure to be gen.
erous in rewards.
Ii Hung Changes first experience in rails
ing a private army occurred when he was
quite a young man. He was at that time
known only as & distinguished scholar
who had carried all before him in the Int
erary examinations. but it was not thought
that his interests would extend to the
profession of arms.

bellion. Ii Hung Changes native town

might be massacred, their possessions
would certainly be looted. Ii gathered

in the imperial army, to which was at

turer, and later by Chinese Gordon.
