Antediluvian Tree Found.

Recently near Morenci the con-
struction force of the Toledo and
Western road, at depth of ten feet
beneath the surface. came upon a
black, curly walnut tree, in perfect
state of preservation. How long it
had been buried is a matter of con-
lecture only, but the formation in
which it was found indicates that the
time was either anterior to Or con-
temporaneous with the drift period,
which, Of course, was thousands of
year. before tae pioneers of Michigan
piled up back walnut logs and burned
them Ito get the land cleared for a
crop of ffty-cent sickle-cut, hand,

Pres says that the railroad company
has been offered $3.50 for It's antedi-
luvian black walnut tree.

Tall Buildings OF Ancient DAYS.

Numerous conflicting estimates
have been made of the height of the
Tower of Babel. but one fact never
has been denied, and that is that it
was sky-scraper. st. Jerome, in his
commentary on Isaiah, says that the
tower was already 1000 PAGES high
when God came down to stop the
work. A pace is about two and half
feet, therefore 1000 PAGES must be TO-
600 feet; consequently Babel was
twenty times as high as the Pyra-
mids (Which are only about 500 feet)
Father Calmet says the tower was
$1,000 feet high, and that the struc-
ture was unfinished because the archi,
tects were confounded, as they did
not know how to bring the building
to a head. Moreover, it is understaod
that the Chinese language OF t. lay
was originally the same Ian, ia u IS
the high German.

Gruesome is the pavement at Gwan.

over 1900 human skulls are said to
have been employed. The town, which
is oval il shape. is girdled by ring of
lofty poles, on the summit of every
one of which is placed a skull, while
each of the six gates is led up to by
a pavement Of skulls. which from con-
slant friction CLEANS like a way of

The Liners Show the Beauty Of
This -Companv's system.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 9:-Almost the en-
t1re time or yesterdays sessions of the
coal strike commission was taken IN bv
the mine workers presenting their side Of
the controversy with C. B. Markle' & Co.
The miners gave testimony to show thai
the company refused to employ them be-
cause they belonged to the union and had
ev1cted them from their houses for the
same cause; that the docking system was
1ntoerable; that the question Of the men
getting the 10 per cent increase in wages
granted as a result of the 1900 strike is
much In doubt, because the men do not
know how the company Is figuring 1t out:
that the price Of powder enters into the
computation Of the increase, and that the
size Of the mine cars has increased, but
the wages have not. -
Two Hungarian women told how the
Markle company deducted house rent from
the last wages of their husbands, who
were killed in the mines, and how the
company attempted to get them to sign
a paper which would absolve the Marlxles
from damages for the death of the men.
The commissioners were much sur.
prised to learn that the 10 per cent In
crease granted in 1900 was not straight
out raise in wages, but instead a 21b pc,
cent Increase and a reduction in powde,
Of TX per cent, making the net increase ir
earnings 10 per cent, which the miners
claim Is not being paid by the NIarkle
company through some way of figuring
they do not understand. :.

The SHIP SUBSIDY Bill
It Meets a Serious Obstacle in the
Committee on Merchant
Marine.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 4b, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Dec. 9.-!The organization
in the east which is preparing to make a
grand rush during the short session to
pass the ship subsidy bill has met an OBJ
stacle almost before 1t has got ready for
operations. The committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, which has the bill in
charge, refuses, by a vote Of nine to eight,
to report it favorably. Among the nine
in opposition are three republicans, Rep
resentatives Stevens Of Minnesota, Jones
of Washington and Minor Of Wisconsin.
Unless the lobby can change one of the
nine opposing committee votes, there will
be nothing DONG along ship subsidy
lines this winter. For the present, there
fore, all lobby efforts are being confined
to the committee.
Hearst for President.
The story published in this correspond
ence recently regarding Editor w. r.
Hearst of the New York Journal and his
alleged ambition to be the democratic
candidate for the presidency in 1904, or
four years later, on a labor PLATFORM. is
being verified in labor circles. The Labor
Compendium. official organ Of the build
ing trades council of ST. Louis, has put
Mr.. Hearst forward in, it's columns as
labor candidate for the presidency, and
says he is closer to labor than any other
man In the country, in any political party.

FORESTRY QUESTIONS
Some .Puzzling Ones Come Up for
Settlement From Minnesota. .~

From The Journal Bureau, Room Is, Post Build
ing, Washington. %"'->
Washington, Dec. 9.-In answer to the
recommendation of the forestry division
OF the department Of agriculture the Sec
rotary of the interior has ruled that be-
fore resurvey can be made of the land
to be included in the Lake Winnibiga-
shish forest area under the Morris act,
the consent of the Indians will be nee
essary. Indian Commissioner Jones has
been asked to obtain that consent if
possible and has referred the matter
to Major Scott Of Leech Lake. 1t will
be recalled that the agents of the forestry
df,ls:on found that inaccuracies existed
In township and section lines which would
came to cut the timber because they
wouki be liable to run over on another
allotment while telling trees.
The mmendation of the forestry
bureau that certain lands within the
limits of the proposed Winnibigashish
Park be classed as swamp was turned
down by the secretary who held that only
two classes Of land are mentioned in the
Nelson. and Morris acts, "Pine" and
/ Agricultural and swamp lands must be
one or the other according to the amount
| of timber on each forty.
| The secretary is now considering the
claim of the state of Minnesota but the
| supreme court decision regarding the
school lands In the ceded portion of the
reserves did not include the four town
SHIPS on White Earth which are to he
| sold In March. The state has disposed
| CT the timber on the school sections in
these townships aggregating probably
1000 600, feet. If the secretary decides
against 1t, it will have to pay the gov
eminent about $4,000 for the benefit of
