Mrs. John King van Rensselaer, has
given to the New York historical So
ciety the marble slab that formerly
marked the spot at Weehawken where
Alexander Hamilton fell in his duel
with Aaron Burr. 1t was removed

encourage dueling, and for many years
1t was lost sight of, to be discovered in
1850 in New York saloon. The West

Fifteen bushels of fax from Argen-
tina, South America, were sown as an
experiment in North Dakota last year,
and the result was so satisfactory that
5000 bushels will be sown this year
on about 10000 acres of land. This
flax is larger, plumper, and is said to
contain several per cent more of oil
than the native fax. The seed used
in Argentina came originally from

Grand County's Big Trees.

Denver, Colo, May 11.-Forest Su-
perintendent w. Il. S. May has re-
ceived directions from Washington to
proceed at his earliest convenience to
Grand county, this state, for the pur-
pose of examining n remarkable grove
of spruce trees to which the attention
of the Department of Forestry has
been called by ii. Nicholson of this
city. Nicholson says that the forest
of silver spruce trees is second only
to the big trees of the Yosemite in in
terest. The trees are six feet in di-
amter and the grove covers an entire
township of thirty-siX square miles.
He requested the department to have
the region examined Immediately with
the object of setting apart the entire
township as forest reserve. Mr.,
Nicholson, as n forest expert, has ad-
vised that large tract north of the
Grand river reservation be set apart
from entry and retained as Il perma-
