A State Demonstration.

Governor VanSant has returned from
st. Louis impressed with the idea that
the Louisiana Purchase exposition
gives Minnesota an opportunity to
demonstrate to all the world the won
derful resources of the state, and he
desires to see the legislature appropri-
ate sufficient sum for this purpose.
The site selected for the Minnesota
building is commanding one, and adj
joins the government building, on
which 100000 will be spent. The
site is nearer to the fair proper than
that of any. state building, the Mis-
souri, building, which will cost 5000, 900,
being excepted.
1t is proposed that the Minnesota
exhibit be made comprehensive dem
onstration of the states resources. For
instance, it is suggested that in the
mining section an iron mine in mini
ature be reproduced. The governor
has been asked to aid in securing an
exhibit showing the Importance of
river transportation.

Renovated Butter.

The renovated butter business has in
creased more than 1000 per cent in
Minnesota during the past six months.
There were $1,000 pounds of the pro-
duct manufactured in the state in July,
1902, but since that time the business
has increased, until in December $751;
474 pounds were made. The output
since July has been 1854, 952 pounds.
The manufacturer of renovated but
ter, under the oleomargarine law,
which went into effect July 1. 1902,
must pay tax of one-fourth of cent
on every pound produced. Although
there were eight or nine renovated
butter factories in the state when the
law went into effect, only one manu-
featured any of the butter during July.
Another factory took up the making
of the butter in August, and the out
put for that month was more than
three times that of July. There are
now six factories in the state-two in
ST. Paul, two in Minneapolis and two
at Duluth-and all are doing an i'm
mense business.

open a regularly equipped home for
this purpose, is Forthcoming.
For some time Mr.. Adams has been
collecting these deserted creatures and
taking care of them at his own home
AS they increased in numbers, Mr..
Adams found himself reduced to the
extremity of advertising forNhomes for
his forsaken pets.
AS result, he has been receiving

ia, offering comfortable homes to the
dogs and cats, and even rendering mon
ey for the privilege of adopting them.

MONARCH OF FOREST.
Biggest Tree in the World Discov-
cred by a Woman.
Under It's Lowest Limb, which Itself
Is the Size of a Mighty Oak, a
Twenty-Story Skyscraper
Might Easily Stand.

The biggest tree in the world has
just been found by woman.
The tree has been named Methusa-
lem, though its age is probably much
greater than was that of the oldest
man of history. It's discoverer is
Mrs. Matte Duncan, a modern Diana
of the wonderful California forests.
Methusalem is sequoia, or big
tree" about $50 feet high, 12S feet 3
inches in circumference foot from
the ground and 80 feet inches at
seven feet from the ground. At one
place it is nearly so feet in diameter.
The largest tree known heretofore
is los feet in circumference one foot
from the ground and 90 feet around
at six feet from the ground. The
monster was discovered last August
near the Gen. Grant national park,
and was measured by John Muir, the
noted naturalist. 1t was then con-
sidered a world marvel, and even Cal
ifornians doubted if it could be
beaten.
But Mrs. Duncan's find, made 200
miles further south, far exceeds any
other. 1t is a beautiful tree, 240 feet
to the first limb, finely proportional,
straight and clean-barked from top
to bottom.
Under its lowest limb, which itself
is the size of the largest, eastern oak,
a 20-story skyscraper might stand.
Stood beside the Great Pyramid, the
tree would wave 80 feet above its
top.
The discovery of Methusalem was
remarkable incident, especially as
it was made by a pretty little wom-
an, whose courage and marksman-
