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. Its discoverer is
Mrs. Matte Duncan, modern Diana
of the wonderful California forests.
Methusalem is a sequoia, or sbig
tree" about $50 feet high, 1913 feet 5
inches in circumference foot from
the ground and 80 feet z inches at
seven feet from the ground. At one
place it is nearly so feet in diameter.
The largest tree known heretofore
is 10S 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 corr
sidered world marvel, and even Cal
ifornians doubted If it could be
beaten.
But Mrs. Duncan's find, made 200
miles further: south, fur exceeds any
other. It is beautiful tree, $40 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,
2o-story skyscraper might stand.
Stood beside the Great Pyramid, the
tree would wave 30 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-

There are many very beautiful ones
in various parts of the country and
they are all of them shrines visited
by thousands of pilgrims every year.
They do not pray to them as to

Few people who have not little
grain of superstition in their make
up and the average man will try to
get rid of any article, however value
able it may be, which. he becomes
convinced il q hoodoo to him. Such
an article is the violin Of DEATH
which now lies buried ON Diamond
hill, near Honolulu, says the New
York Press. This violin, which had
been an ordinary musical instrument
before, suddenly developed fatal at
tributes, and within a space of six
months two persons who -owned it
successfully committed suicide and q
third person mysteriously disap-
peared and was never found. The
violin then came into the possession
of George II. Scott, sergeant in the
Sixty-ninth battery coast artillery.
The violin had by this time become
we'll known as hoodoo and Scott
after awhile became afraid of tho
malign influence and buried it at Dia-
mond hill. But the hoodoo still
worked, for not long after Scott
killed himself.
The story of the Indian idol with
bad reputation for causing disaster
which was presented to President
Carnot of France shortly before he
| was assassinated is well known, but
the story of that idol is no more
wonderful than that of one owned
by a resident of Hokiangi, New Zea-
land. 1t was presented to him by \
Maori chief and he has vainly tried
to get rid of it, believing that it
brings disaster upon him. Once he
threw it under the wheels of rail-

of the way fell and broke two fingers.

rage in not getting reward beat
him until he was nearly dead. The
idol is about two feet high and is
composed of rosewood and ebony.
The owner proposes to burn it as the
only way of making an end. If all
that the New Zealander tells about
his hoodoo idol is true the image is
a near relative of the one written
about by Ansty in his Fallen IdoE''
Napoleon the Great had two rings
which he believed brought him good
luck and which he constantly wore.
These rings were inherited by Ma.

worn by him. When Napoleon III.
died and was buried it was proposed
to take the rings from his fingers
and give them to the prince imperial.
But the prince would not have them,
although the old retainers of the
family prophesied all sorts of dire
things from his refusal. When the
unfortunate young man was killed
in Zululand those who believed in
the prophecy of the rings said: II
told you so.'
The list of celebrated mascots is
long one. Hoodoos of distinction
are, fortunately, less frequently
heard about, though nearly every
body has ut some time in his life pos

Balloon for. Consumptives,

That there is benefit to be derived
from the rarefied air, as well as in
the climatic change, has prompted
DIR. Naugier, of Paris, to suggest, in
a recent paper before the Academic
de Medicine, the possibilities of hos
pital balloons. He asserted that a
two hours trip in the air causes an
increase of the red corpuscles, an
improvement that continues for sew
eral days after an ascent. Two such
ascents in the course of six or seven
weeks he considers as more bene-
fetal to an anaemic than sojourn
of three months in the mountains.
