Pacific Coast Forests VIII Soon es tx.
hausted.
Unoficial estimates put the annual
cut of lumber and shingles of the
three Pacific states at 100000, 1000
feet, of which California supplies $780,
100000 feet, Oregon 740,000,o00 feet,
and Washington 2,3OO,00O,O0O feet. At
this rate it is calculated that the for
ests of the Pacific coast will be ex-
hausted in forty years. Shipments
by water alone at Seattle were 564,-
472,S01 feet of lumber in 1902, and
506964,749 feet in 1901. In 1902 rail
shipments to the interior amounted to
562: It's 900 feet, and in 1901 to 1854 $780,
900 feet. Portland, Ore, shows traf-
fic coward the interior by rail ranking
mex. to Seattle in Importance. In the
calendar year 1900 1885 cars Of lum-
Der were shipped from that port, 49,
SIT in 1901 and 1876 cars in 1902.

Useless Advice.

Frank Sturgis of Strong, Sturgis &
Co. consulted a doctor not long ago
and was advised to go away to some
resort for a good long rest. Mr.. Stur-
gis expressed his contempt for the ad-
vice something like this:
"Rest-Shucks! What else have I
been doing for the past six months?
For real, right-down, thorough-going
rest give me Wall street in the sum-
mer of 1903. Wall street at present,
compared with the sleepiest summer
resort in the sleepiest mountains on
earth, is like solitaire in hearse CON-
pared with a game of poker with
Gates, Clark ct al. And I paid SO
for that adfice!"-New York Times.

DID STUNTS ON A sTEEPLE.
Remarkably Daring Feats Of Pro
fessional Climber.

~
fesslonal Climber.
! William Ramsauer, "Steeple Jack"
entertained the crowds which thronged
the downtown streets during the noon
hour yesterday by doing disrobing
and an acrobatic stunt on the top Of
the fiagpole of the Traction Building.
After he had climbed to the top Of
the stout iron Flagstaff, 377 feet above
the street, he calmly seated himself
on the ball and proceeded to take of
his outer clothing until he stood re-
vealed in suit of tights he wears.
Then for the amusement of the popu-
lace he performed feats of daring for
nearly an hour. With the Stars and
Stripes fluttering beneath him he stood
OH his head on the polished surface Of
Inc brass ball, 40 feet above the roof
of the Traction Building and 377 feet
above the people, to whom from the
street below he looked like a mere
speck outlined against the heavens

Men That Mothers Make.

Show me that boy who nightly bows at
mothers knee to pray;
Who wears her golden precepts in his
heart;
Who lays his hand in hers and seeks her
counsel day by day;
Whose path in life from hers lies not
apart,
And thus his horoscope I'll cast:
His name will live among the last"
Show me that youth whose good right
arm encircles mothers form:
Whose lips fear not to kiss her faded
cheek;
Who lives for her: to shield and protect
her from all harm;
Who comforts her when she is old and
weak,
And in the coming years see
A man for all eternity.
Show me that man whose life IL pure;
that man who claims success;
Show me that man who treads the ways
Of fame;
That man whose deeds adorn the name Of
truth and uprightness:
Whose soul knows not the tarntShed
blush of shame. "A
And in hill glory thus arrayed
Behold man that mother made.

Can Stand Much Cold,

Plant life is much more tolerant
than animal life of extremes of tenn
perature, growth having been OBJ
served in some instances as low as
zero and in other instances as high as
" degrees Centigrade. 1t is perfectly
true that freezing process does not
destroy life. A fish or frog will be
frozen solid and on rethawing be-
collie quite lively again. The seeds
of plants can actually undergo for
hours a temperature of liquid hydro
gen, the coolest temperature known,
and yet retain their germinative
power.

Talking Album.

The talking photograph is now
promised-that is, the photograph,
with a photographic annex or attach
ment. as it were. to go on twaddling
as in life, with only arbitrary and oc-
caslonal intermissions. 1t opens a
wearisome prospect for posterity to
have the family portrait album full of
talking pictures, all going on at the
same time, with the united tediousness
of all the originals punched up to-
getber The old-style, nonconversa-
tional, even as the oyster, is the best
kind to live with, and bids fair to hold
it's place in popular esteem for awhile,
at any rate.

Latest sea-serpent Story.

A recent sea-serpent story coming
from England tells how a marine mon
ster apparently tried to swallow. the
good ship Glengrant of Fraserburgh.
At the first onslaught it lifted the
vessel "at least six feet" as it dived
underneath her but fortunately when
it came on again the only sailor man
who kept his head dashed below and
got gun. It is not known whether he
hit it; at any rate, the monster had
had enough and cleared of. The sail
ors say this serpent was nearly 200
feet in length, with a head like sea-
horse, long name, great green, glis-
tening eyes and an enormous mouth
and teeth.

Biggest Dog on Earth.

A dog, supposed to have been the
biggest in the world, has just died at
Rutland, Vermont, at the age of ten
years. He was a cross of English and
German mastiff, and weighed 284
pounds. At the shoulder he was three
foot high, as tall as full grown lion,
but he had not the lions massive legs
and shoulders nor his impressive
length, being only six foot from tip
to tip" But he was a terror to evil
doors on dark nights. His chest
measured fifty inches and his mighty
neck required a thirty-fve-inch collar.

GETTING Rid Of Rats.

After all other remedies fail, there
still remains way of getting rid of
ras, and that is by depriving them of
water. They can live for very long
time without food. and when hard
pressed will not hesitate to eat each
other, but no rat can go twenty-four
hours without drink. Therefore, If
every possible means of obtaining
water is taken from the rats they
will desert the vicinity.
