THE BIGGEST TREE ON EARTH
A Giant Sequoia One Hundred and Nine Feetfn
circumference.

What proves to be the hugest tree
yet found among the giant forest
throng of California, already famed in
song and story, has recently been dis
covered in wild, unfrequented nook
of the state. 1t was officially meas
ured for the first time, says the New
York Times, on Aug. 20 by John Muir,
the famous naturalist, discoverer, and
writer, who has done so much to make
known the natural wonders of the Pa
cfic slope.
DR.. Norman d. Kelley of Fresno, a
member of the celebrated Sierra Club,
was Mr.. Murs sole companion on the
hunt for the forest monster the two
travelling together through the woods
and sleeping in the open beside their
camp fire by night
The tree which thus suddenly goes
to the head of the list of CALIFORNIA;
"big trees" measures 100 feet in cir
conference, giving it a diameter of 80
feet, surprising the giants Gen. Grant,
in the Gen. Grant National Park, and
Gen. Sherman, in the Sequoia National
Park The new discovery is a sequoia
gigantea semper yirens-that's what
the learned say.
For these untold centuries 1t has
reared it's stately form in the region
men now call Fresno county-a ficti-
tious division of land that rough old
patriarchs of prehistoric forests know
nothing of-just back of Wildwood,
three miles from Converse Basin, ten
miles from the Gen. Grant National
Park
1t is, fortunately. just within the line
of the United States Forest Reserve,
and reigns over a grove of other mag
nificent examples of its kind, almost
unknown to fame SO far. 1t is finer
specimen in every way, Mr.. Muir and
DIR. Kelly agree, than the great trees
which have so far carried off the hon.
ors of hugeness. The fact that this
wonder of the world has gone so long
unmeasured and unsung speaks for the
rugged largeness of California, and the
pathlessness, even at this day, of some
of its area.
The tree was called to the attention
of Mr.. Muir by A. II. Koebig,
a civil engineer of the Edi-
son Electric Company of Los
Angeles, who has been at work
for the company in that region. He had
noticed its remarkable proportions as
he had passed it in its primeval fast
ness, and recommended to the cele-
brated woodsman that ii be officially

The New Stand Taken by the Pope-Why Royal
Families Have Degenerated.

the result of the great love the
uncle felt for his niece and of
the extreme desire for independ-
ence on the part of the Princess
because of the heaviness of the ma
ternal yoke.
In Austria you find Princess Maria
Valerie, daughter of the Emperor
Francis Joseph married to her cousin,
the Archduke Salvador. In Great Brit
ain Queen Victoria married her cousin,
Prince Albert of Sake Cobourg- Gotha.
Princess Maud, daughter of Edward
VII, married her first cousin, Prince
Charles of Denmark, son of the royal
Prince of Denmark, who is the brother
of the Queen of England. In Russia
the Grand Duke Alexander Michailo-
witch married the Grand Duchess Xe-
ME Alexandrowna, his cousin and sis
ter of Nicholas II. Prince Henry of
Prussia. brother of William II, mar
ried his cousin, a. Princess of Hesse.
and the Grand Duke of Hesse married
his cousin, the daughter of the Duke
of Saxe-Cobourg.
The consanguineous marriages just
mentioned are by no means the only
ones, but the enumeration suffices to
prove that they have passed into the
customs of royal houses and that the
Pope will be kept busy if he wishes to
destroy this custom.
The question naturally arises: What
do authorities say of this condition?
The reply is the old one: Hippocrates
says yes and Galen says no. Bondin
declares that the sequence of consan-
guineous marriages produces madness,
Devay states that goitre of the Cagota
of the Pyrenees is due to intermarriage,
Trousseau says that 1t produces cpl
lepsy and deaf-mutes.
On the other hand Cordier, Auzouy,
Francisque. and Michel deny it's inf1u-
ence, Lacassagne and Ladreit de La
carriere stating it has a very feeble
effect. as does also Darwin. The ex-
ample of the Israelites, of which so
very many are vigorous, seems to con-
firm this latter view, as well as the ex-
amples of numerous villages In
France which have been heathily and
vigorously peopled by a single family,
of which they bear the name, for ex-
ample, Les Buloyer, near the Port
Royal, few leagues from Paris. And
opposed to the theory of de Chateau
neuf that consanguineous marriages re-
suit in sterility is the evidence of
Queen Victoria's eight offsprings, not
to mention other examples.

AS counsel for Mrs. Gillespie, the

with them was John w. Gray, who be-

Judge Oliver w. Holmes. The case
was decided against the claimants.

No fight has been made by the de-
scendants for the proceeds from the
bequest in Boston, although similar
allegations are made as in the case
of Philadelphia-that the funds have
not been used for the purposes desig-
mated by the testator. A few days ago,
when Lawyer Midlge was visiting
with his friend "Ben" Bache at his
store, a customer as many customers
there do, mentioned the relationship to
the statesman and philosopher.
