RINGS ON YELLOW PINES.

Two Circles Of New Fiber Blending
Into One Mark Each Year.
Tt is very curious to note the sue
cessive growth circles of our yellow
pines," said veteran lumberman from
the Pearl river district. Until my at.
tention was especially directed to the
subject by forestry expert few
years ago had no idea that the mark.
ings were so beautifully clear and dis.
tinct. The tree acquires two rings Of
new fiber every year, one In the spring
and one in the fall. but they blend to.
gether and form a single, we'll defined
circle.
During the first ten years these
successive Accommodations are Of about
decades the diminution Is very slight,
but after that the rings become thinner
and thinner, and when the tree gets In
to the eighties and nineties the growth
is very slight indeed-in fact, mere
film. Nevertheless the ring is always
formed as long as the tree lives and
can be clearly dscerned with a glass
after it ceases to be visible to the max.
ed eye.
"During the visit of the expert I'd
whom I referred we cut good deal of
timber on my place ranging between
1G and IS inches in diameter. That
tree is 1926 years old he would say.
that one Is 100, that is about no. and
so on. Afterward we measured the
growth rings with the instruments he
carried, and in every instance he had
hit the age within few years. 1t
seemed wonderful, but was simply the
result of experience combined with an
accurate eye.
"There are some very ancient pine
trees In the Pearl river district, and
many Of them figure in the traditions
and folklore of the settlers In their
neighborhood. There are a couple Of
such patriarchs on a tract near my
mill, and when the standing timber
o. the place was recently sold | am
glad to say they were especially ex-
cepted in the terms Of the contract. 1t
would have seemed like murder to
some Of the country folks II they had
been cut down."-New Orleans Times

SCIENCE OF DREAMS.
Results of . Series of Experiments
by q German Professor.

Results of . Series of Experiment.
by a German Professor.
Sleep is not "the brother of death"
as the poets have said from Homer
to Shelley; but, on the contrary, "sleep
is the brother Of life" So Professor
Baschide asserts, who, in an article
In the Notwithstanding Runds-
chau, gives an account Il his expert
ments upon SO dreamers." His sub
jects were of various ages, from year
to so years.
In some cases his observations were
continued during the whole night and
in others for great part of the night.
He watched and recorded every
change Of physiognomy, every move
ment of the limbs and every speech or
sound uttered by the unconscious
dreamers. The depth of the sleep was
also carefully measured, while from
time to time the dreamers were awak-
ened, but without their own percep-
ton that the awakening was inten-
tiOnal.
The professor obtained, as he writes
at length, the following results: ~
We dream throughout the whole Of our
sleep. even In that deepest sleep which
we imagine to be "dreamless." ~
There Is an intimate connection be-
tween the depth Of our sleep and the
character Of our dreams. The deeper
the sleep the further back travels the
retrospect into the past experiences Of
life and also the more remote are the
contents of the dream from reality. In
a light sleep, on the contrary. the sub
ject of the dream relates to the expe-
riences and excitements of the day
and has character Of probability. (3)
In a comatose sleep the professor
thinks there may perhaps be no dream
ing. ~ Persons who assert that they
do not dream ''are the victims of phys
ical delusion." o. Dreams Of a moder'
ate character remain longest in the
memory. The wilder the dream the
sooner it is forgotten.-Lonfco News

Wounded In battle.

An army loses far more Of it's strength
through its wounded than through its
killed. In the first place there are four
or five wounded to one killed, and in
the second place the dead men give no
trouble. while the wounded require an
immense number Of nonconlata1ts to
attend to them. A great many Of the
wounded return again to duty, their
wounds being comparatively slight,
but as rule more than half Of them
take no nose part in the war.-LoaHdon

the work still lower, and thus save
