THE GIANT REDWOODS.
TFron the Atlantic.l


The big tree is natures forest mas
terpiece, and, as far as 1 know, the
great of living things. 1t belongs to
an ancient stock, as its remains in old
rocks show, and has a strange air of
other days about it, a thoroughbred
look, inherited from the long ago, and
auld lang syna of trees. The Pacific
ifers. Here nearly all of them are
giants, and display a beauty and mag
nificence unknown elsewhere. The eli
mate is mild, the ground never freezes
and moisture and sunshine abound all
the year. Nevertheless, it is not easy
to account for the colossal size of the
sequoias. The largest are about 300
feet high and so in diameter. Who of
all the dwellers of the plains and
prairies and fertile home forests of
round-headed oak and maple, hickory
and elm, ever dreamed that earth could
bear such growths trees that the ia
miliar pines and frs seem to know
nothing about. lonely, silent, serene,
with a physiognomy almost godlike,
and so old, thousands of them still liv-
ing had counted their years by tens of
centuries when Columbus set sail from
SPAIN and were in the vigor of youth
or middle age when the star led the
Chaldean sages to the infant Savior's
cradle. AS far as man is concerned,
they are the same yesterday, today and
forever, emblems of permanence.

WATER FOR LONDON.
TFrom the National Review.l

From the National RevieW-1
The water companies, as we know by
painful experience, find 1t harder ana
harder to meet the ever increasing de-
mand. Their draughts on the Thames
can not go indefinitely augmenting,
seeing that in June, 1899, only l5S,-
100000 gallons were left by them in the
river to pass over Teddington Weir,
though legally 200, 100000 gallons is the
minimum permissible. The population
in the Thames valley and the demands
upon that river for water outside the
London area are easing every year,
yet now the Thames in a dry summer
below Teddington Weir is little better
than a malodorous sewer. Nor can
deep wells in the chalk be drawn upon
Indefinitely. The pumping operations
in the Lea and Colne valleys are stead
lily lowering the level of the wells in
the ChilternS, and depriving poor ag-
ricultural district of its water. Streams
which used to run all the year have
now vanished, or only flow intermit-
tently. 1t is the same to the south of
the Thames. Yet it is neither wisdom
nor justice to deprive poor country dis
tricts of their water. At the same time
water famines In the metropolis are be-
coming more frequent, and the quality
of the water supplied leaves much to
be desired.
The proposed scheme of going to
Wales is not sati1fac ctory. In the first
place, it is very doubtful if the water
is there in the quantity that will be
required. The best water producing
areas have been already appropriated
by Liverpool and Birmingham. In the
second place South Wales is an indus
trial country with a fast multiplying
population. and unless its manufac-
lures suffer a great setback, it may
need all the water it possesses. The
instinct is perfectly sound and rational
which leads the Welshman to oppose
the scheme. The only moral justifica-
ton for London, in taking the water,
would be that it would never be need
