Society and Companionship.

The privilege of having some one
with whom we may exchange few
rational words every day, as Emerson
phrases it, is the choicest gift in life.
We are rich in society and yet poor in
companionship. In the overflow of
chatter we are starved for converse
ton. Social life is so largely an affair
of representation, it inclines so largely
to the spectacular and to what it's
chroniclers designate as social func-
tions," that the element of converse
tional intercourse is almost eliminated.
Yet, primarily, is not that the supreme
object of all friendly meeting? When
we reduce to first principles this COM
pick thing called living, do we not go
to our friend solely to talk with him?
Do we not invite him solely that we
may exchange ideas and compare
views on subjects of mutual interest?
Still, as things go, people meet all
through a season in the midst of groups
and throngs-at dinners, receptions, en-
tertainments of all kinds-without ex-
changing one word in the way of true
rcourse.-EXchange

QUICK WORK WITH A SHARK
Three KanaIxas Went Down and Got
Him While He Was asleep.

Three hanakas Went Down and Got
Him While He Was asleep.
1.-THE Kanakas of the Hawaiian Is
lands have about as much fear of the
huge sharks that infest the Hawaiian
waters as we have of one-month-old
fox terrier pups" said naval officer
who recently returned from the Asiatic
station by way of the islands. Zone
morning couple of months ago, when
our ship was lying in Honolulu harbor,
a big banana barge, propelled by three
muscular, fine looking, nearly nude
Kanakas, pulled alongside of us to
peddle the fruit among the men for
ward. Just as they got the barge close
to the ship the three Kanakas began to
Jabber eXcitedly in their queer, musical
language and to feel of the edges of
the knives suspended by lanyards
| around their necks.
1.-THE eyes of those Kanakas were
keener than ours, and they had seen a
big shark asleep directly beneath the
lighter, the water being so clear down
that way that objects can be seen
through it to great depth. 1t didn't
take those three giant muscled Kama
kaS more than ten seconds to shuttle
| out of their few clothes. Then they
removed the strings from their long
knives, grasped the knives in their
right hands, stepped gently over the
side of the lighter, hung to the gum
wales of the lighter with their left
hands for a moment or so, and then,
altogether, they gave that queer diving
wriggle to their legs in which they are
so expert and disappeared from the
surface. We couldn't see them going
down on account of the commotion
and consequent bubbles they made in
the water.
"Within about ten seconds after they
disappeared the bubbles that came to
the surface began to take on the hue
of blood.
""That about settles one Kanaka, if
not the whole three of Them said we
| on the gangway. The next thing we
saw was a gigantic shark thrashing
the water crafty on the port side of
the lighter and incarnadining the sea
within a radius of fifty feet with it's
blood. Then the three Kanakas came
up, all in bunch, like trio of jacks
in-the-box, with contented smiles on
their faces. The shark thrashed around
for five or ten minutes, and at the end
of that time he was as dead as any
sailed mackerel in a barrel, the entire
length of him. The three Kanakas had
tackled him altogether as he slept, had
driven their knives into his vulnerable
parts, and before he had chance to
pull himself together he was as good
as dead. 1t was as workmanlike job
of going after big sea game as ever l

SOME WRITER'S.

Bret Harte was a good deal of re-
cluse, in that respect resembling Haw-
thorne more than any other man of
letters.
Baxter, it is said, kept the manu-
script of the Saints Everlasting Rest
in his hands for thirteen years, revis-
ing and condensing.
Cooper is said to have written ''The
Spy" in less than six months. Most of
his stories were founded on legends
well known in his neighborhood.
Longfellow turned out about one
volume of poems year for many
years Nearly four years were required
for his translation of Dante"
The first volume of poems by Alfred
Tennyson came out when he was TWEEN
ty-four. He was forty-one when "In
Memoriam" came from the press.
Thomas Moore often wrote a short
poem almost impromptu. He consumed
over two years in reading and prepar-
ing material for "Lalla Rookh" and
two years more in writing that mimi
table poem.

DOWN IN A SALT MINE.

An Occasion When Ones Dignity
Must Be Set Aside.
1t is only the elect among travellers
who find their way to Berchtesgaden,
In Bavaria, not very far from Salz-
burg, writes correspondent of the
London Taller. If you drive in a car
rage from thence by road, you are
stopped midway at a customs house
and find yourself leaving Austrian ter
ritory for Bavarian. Berchtesgaden is
beautifully situated, and it has two
noteworthy. attractions, one of them
the Konigsee, thought by many the
most beautiful lake in the world, and
the other the salt mines. A visit to the
salt mines gives one an exciting hour.
Many tourists take tickets at the top,
but many of the fair sex are deferred
from using them when they see the
costume that is rendered essential to
the visit. In other words, they have to
abandon skirts and adopt a special
rig out" One may frequently observe
that ladies, torn between what they
consider modesty and curiosity, go two
or three times to the mines before they
screw up their courage sufficiently to
don the attire and pay the visit.
The necessity for women to abandon
the usual garment arises from the fact
that portion of the mine can only be
visited through the medium of a kind
of slide. This slide is, however, the
best thing in the whole visit 1t is a
great deal better than tobogganing,
and, as one is in the dark and with
only a candle fastened to ones dress,
it is not q little exciting.
The strangest incident in the trip is
that of the illumination of what is
called 'the salt lake" You are rowed
across this lake in almost absolute
darkness, the illumination being pro-
vided by a number of miners lamps
round the lake, and the journey has a
very considerable weirdness The next
best experience in the trip is the final
ride into daylight on the trucks. This
is journey through absolute darkness
for very considerable way until final
ly one sees little CLEAN of light in
the distance. Altogether, as / have
said, between the toboggan slide, the
car ride and the boat journey across
the salt lake the visitor to the Berch-
tesgaden salt mine has plenty for his
money. But, curiously enough, he sees
very little salt. At any rates the pre-
pared salt that one uses on ones break
fast table is not at all in evidence.

Fossil Flora of the John Day Basin

In bulletin No. 2O4 of the United
States geological survey, now in
press, Mr.. Frank Hall Knowlton dis
cusses the Fossil Flora of the John
Day basin, situated in the north CEN
trail part of Oregon, chiefly in Grant
county, and covering an area of about

The history of exploration in the
John Day basin and of the geologic
investigation in the region given, and
then follows the discussion OF the
flora.
The fossil riches of the John Day
basin were first brought to scientific
attention between 1860 and 1870. The
known fossil foras of the basin are
all of tertiary age.
The bulletin is illustrated by sl7
plates, containing many figures.

One Brick Short.

Richard M. Hunt, the architect, used
to relate that in his younger days,
while supervising the erection of a
brick building, a recent arrival from
Cork applied for job and was en-
ployed as a hodearrier after being in
structed that he must always carry up
fourteen bricks in his hod. One morn
ing the supply of bricks ran out, and,
do his best, the new man could find
but thirteen to put in his hod. In an

Forest Conditions in Cascade Range

Forest Conditions in Cascade Range.
In professional paper No. 6, now in
press, United States geological sur
vey, Mr. Fred G. Plummer makes a
report on that part of the Cascade
mountains in the state of Washing
ton, lying between Mount Rainier and
the Washington Forest reserve.
The land classification covers q
100000 acres, of which about 261, 900
acres are naturally timberless, a lit
tie over 100000 acres have lost their
timber by fires, and over 41,00O acres
have been cut, the remainder being
2,292,S70 acres, which may at this
time be called timber land. OF the
total area 179,400 acres are estimated
as arabic, and of this 1854 acres are
under cultivation.
The estimate of the timber now
standing upon these 2,292,S70 acres
of timbered land is about 12,001 mil
lion feet, board measure, an average
per acre of 1924 feet, board measure
About Sc per cent of this timbered
area is upon the eastern slope of the
mountains. The average stand of tim
Der for the western slope is $500
feet, board measure, per acre, and
that for the eastern slope is only

1904 feet, board measure, per acre.
For the purpose of making a de
tailed record of the amount of vege-
table growth supported by the aver
age soil of the Cascade mountains, a
sample acre was measured near Mar
tin, station on the Northern Pacific
railway, in an area which had Just
been estimated at from 1000 to 5000
rect, board measure, per acre. Every
tree and sapling, living or dead. was
measured and counted. The result
was 6,930.S feet, board measure, or
l,930.S feet more than the maximum
OF the estimate. But this does not
mean that the estimate was errone-
Gus. The fact is that Michigan mill
would cut about 1000 feet from this
acre, and that a large Washington
mill would not touch it at all, for
their cruisers would note so many
ties, piles, telephone poles, or cords
OF wood, roughly estimated, and pass
on, looking for logs that would square
at least IA inches at the small end.
Mr.. Plummer gives the number and
estimates of the coniferous trees. and
also the deciduous trees, shrubs, and
towering plants found ON this acre
near Martin, at an elevation of 1900
feet. He gives detailed descriptions
of the areas examined, and discusses
the defects and diseases of timber
trees, the markets and the prices of
Washington lumber.
1t is estimated, says Mr.. Plummer,
that there are 100000 acres of arid
lands in the state of Washington, all
of which is in the central portion of
the state, east of the Cascade noun
tains, and in the drainage basin of
the Columbia river. An estimate of
the irrigation possibilities of these
100000 acres, as determined from
data furnished by the Northern Pa
cific railway company, and from 9th
er sources, shows 100000 acres under
constructed canals and in cultiva-
ton; 100000 acres under constructed
canals and not in cultivation; 1885,
900 acres under canals surveyed, but
not constructed, the feasibility of
which at reasonable cost has been de
termined; $4,000 acres under canals
projected, but whose feasibility at
reasonable cost has not been de-
termined; and 100000 acres thought
| to be above possibility of irrigation
at any cost justified by present condi-
tons. Of the total 100000 acres now
under constructed canals, 203,900
acres are supplied by the Yakima
river and it's tributaries. Of the L.
08O,OOO acres that can be irrigated at
reasonable cost, $4,000 acres are in
the Yakima watershed. From care
full estimates it appears that the mini
mum flow of the Yakima river is not
sufficient to irrigate all the land
which would be dependent upon it
when canals now proposed are con-
structed, and that recourse must be
had to storage water. Three lakes,
Keechelus, Kachess and Clealum, in
Kittitas county, are we'll suited for
| the impounding of a reserve supply
of water sufficient to insure against
an unusual season of drought.
Mr.. Plummer thinks that the con-
struction of these reservoirs and the
preservation of their natural water
sheds is imperative. This means that
| logging should be done under proper
restrictions, and that the destruction
of forests by fire must cease.
