Slaughter of HerOns.

The battle waged by the Audubon
Society against the fashion of wearing
birds feathers and particularly the
egret has been so effective as to seri-
ously influence the sale Of these bits
Of millinery. With a.view of meeting
the objection Of women to purchasing
these plumes those interested in their
sale have been very successful in their
efforts in circulating the story that
the herons, from which the egrets are
taken, are no longer slaughtered, but
they are regularly farmed for the pur-
pose and the egret gathered up when
cast by the birds.
In all cases which have been inves-
tigated by the American Ornitholo-
gists' Union Committee on Bird Pro-
lection there is absolutely no truth in
the reports.

double trolley wire, suspended about
twelve inches apart, on brackets sup
ported on'poles along the side Of the
roadway; a trolley" consisting OF
two bearing wheels, an electric motor
for their operation; long flexible
cable connecting the trolley with the
vehicle running on the street, by
means of which current is supplied to
the series motor which propels it.
This unique arrangement gives great
freedom in the operation Of the ve-
hicle, as it can be operated onthe side
close to, or away from, the trolley
wires. The wagon can turn out for
teams without interfering with it's
operation or placing undue strain on
tae trolley wires, and go backward or
forward at will, ascend Or descend
hills or steep grade. and, in fact, exc.
cute any manmuvre that would be ex-
pected of vehicle pulled by horses
along thoroughfare.
The flexible cable, twenty-five or
thirty feet long, which. does duty for
the ordinary trolley pole. is connected
to the vehicle at the top OF standard
some thirteen feet above the level OF
the ground, additional cable being
wound on a drum, if it is required.
While the trolley wires may make
sharp turns, following curves or bends
in the roadway, it is evident that two
vehicles operated from the same troll
ley wires could not pass each other
going in opposite direction. This is
overcome, however, by arranging the
connections of the flexible cables so
that they can instantly be transferred
from one vehicle to another, all the
fittings being interchangeable. Thus,
if two automobiles met while going in
opposite directions, it would only be
necessary for them to exchange troll
leys, by exchanging cable connections,
when they could continue Oh their re.
spective ways.

was used at that. The age of this
giant was estimated at 1900 years.
When one of these big trees gives
up the ghost and falls under stress
of wind, it goes down like an avalanche
of the Sierras. The ground trembles
and the crash and ruin in it's path
mark tragedy of nature.
The 'Father of the Forest IN the
Calaveras grove, which fell not long
ago, had seen thousand years when
the great majority of its present asso-
ciates were either non-ezistent or
literally but little larger than mustard
seeds. It's first limbs are 100 feet
from the base. aud, with diameter
of six feet. compare favorably with
the largest trees Of the country east
of the Rockies. There are 125 trees
in the lower and upper groves ever
forty feet in circumference. In the
Yos emite National Park, in a belt
about two and half miles long by
two miles wide is The next largest
grove of redwood trees. Here are
some 600 trees which would be con-
sidered too large as shade trees for
the broadest avenue. The largest has
circumference of eightY-one feet
three feet above the earth. It is in
many ways the greatest and grandest
forest on the globe.
The big trees are generally wearing
away with time and weather, and
seem to have outlivedthe age in which
they belonged, so that they will drop
their limbs and topple themselves all
too SOON without the vandal's axe to
bring them down. Many of them
show signs of decay, and some are
hollow at the base, though still living,
with the heart gone. In the hollows
of those woodland giants there is fre
quently plenty of space for comfort

mia, and the resolution was adopted,
and the Government acquires the
groves.
Some months ago a lumberman
bought an option on the ground for
the purpose of cutting down the big
trees and saving them into lumber.
A cry went up in Califon;a from the
SHOWS of Mount Shasta to the orange
groves of Los Angeles, to save these
mammoths of the forest. By the ef-
forts OF the women of California the
matter was brought before Congress
with the above result.
These are the ''sequoia giganteas,"
or redwoods that first gave California
her reputation for having the biggest
trees on earth. Through one of them
a Concord stage coach may be driven,
The stump of another, thirty feet in
diameter, is used as dancing payiE
ion.
Redwoods like these tower up 200;
feet without a limb, ard then burst
out into crown of foliage, rising 100
to 200 feet higher t,i,g
Some scientists says they are 1900
years old. Others insist that they
must be 5000 years old older than
Christianity. older than the Mosaic
law. tr95
These trees have ontlived the natu-

for he is liable to be bombarded with
cones, and as they are about the size
and weight of eggs, drop OF several
hundred feet gives them surprising
force. But the real danger lies in the
limbs, which frequently fall, though
the tree may apparently have none to
spare.
In the Mariposa grove there are
standing 365 large sequoias-one for
every day in the year. This grove
was donated by Congress to Califor-
MIA in trust at the same time (1S64)
and by the same act as the Yosemite
Valley, and is managed by the same
board of commissioners. A troop ef
cavalry guards the domain.
