MONARCH OF FOREST.
Biggest Tree in the World Discov-
cred by Woman.
Under les Lowest Limb. which Itself
Is the Size of n Mighty Oak, a
Twenty-ssory skyscrnper
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. Its discoverer is
Mrs. Matte Duncan, a modern Diana
of the wonderful California forests.
Methusalem is sequoia, or big
tree" about 4S0 feet high, 12S feet 3
inches in circumference foot from
the ground and 90 feet 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 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 beautiful tree, 24O feet
to the first limb, finely proportioned,
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 slyscraper might stand.
Stood beside the Great Pyramid, the
tree would wave 80 feet above its
top.
The discovery of Methusalem was
a remarkable incident, especially as
it was made by pretty little wom-
an, whose courage and marksman-
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-02-05

ship have made her one of the best
known huntresses in California.
Mrs. Duncan, says the New York
World. was chasing a cinnamon bear
over Il spur of Mount Moses so miles
south of the Sequoia national park.
She was alone, and the country was
an exceedingly rough one, but she
did not mind that. 1t was hard and
dangerous climb to follow the bear.
but she stuck to it for miles, some
| times crawling on hands and knees,
sometimes letting herself down over
steep precipices and again climbing
almost hand over hand.
In this way the enthusiastic bear
! hunter finally found herself in wilds
that appeared never to have been en-
| tered by man. In a heavy forest
! growth many miles from any hu-
man habitation she found Methusa-
| lem, and the bear was forgotten.
! A few days later Mrs. Duncan re-
! turned to her find accompanied by
/ her husband and her brother, S. G..
Edwards, an artist living at Fillmore,
and party of lumbermen. The big
sequoia was christened, measured and
photographed. After a brief little
christening ceremony, hymn was
sung and a card giving the name and
date of the discovery was tackled TO
the trunk.
The region is known as the Tule
River basin, and is thickly timbered
with the same rare species as that
here escribed-Sequoia gigantea.
| This and the Sequoia sempervirens
are the only survivors of genus
that is known to have fiourished ages
ago in the interior of North America,
! the arctic circle and Asia and Eu-
rope. To-day all that remain are
confined to the central portion of
| the Golden state.
In the Tule river country several
! large sawmills are converting the
mammoth logs into building material
and the industry is thriving. An ex-
/ pert has figured from its dimensions
! that Methusalem contains 1000
/ feet of inch lumber.
/ Around Dillonwood, on the north
! fork of the Tule, are some remark
able trees. One is the Wishbone, a
living tree, through whose trunk
runs wagon road. Another one is
/ the "Hercules,' so feet in diameter,
which is used as residence and
store. 1t has two large rooms on the
ground.
The Eight Sisters, handsome
group of eight trees, stand in a per-
feet row and average II feet in di-
ameter and 250 feet in height.
Among the logs that litter the
ground is one burned out Mt remote
time. 1t is 03 feet long and the hol.
Z low throughout is 23 feet in diam
/ eter. In it Is room for a large camp
ing party in summer, and in winter
It has sheltered dozens of men and
horses at time.

OBJECTS OF THE GRANGE.
Its Eievnting influence on the FARM
cr's Life and Occupation.

Wheno'er a noble deed Is wrought,
Whene'er is spoke noble thought,
Our hearts in glad surprise
To higher levels rise.
-Longfelow.
The objects of the grange are en-
noblng. Its results are many n noble
deed has been wrought, and many q
noble thought spoken. and hearts and
minds and thoughts of many farmer
and farmers wife have arisen to a
higher level.
Selfishness, narrowness and back
wardness have no place in America to-
day. The American farmer, more than
any other class, should be above these
things, and, thanks to the grange, he is
rapidly rising above them.
We are all of us students, and all
should be anxious to develop the no.
bier instincts of our natures. and no
where else can we find so good an op-
portunity for development as in the
grange.
In the great industrial development
of the present time we observe with
more or less of concern the tremendous
organization of capital. which will not
be stopped by public opinion and can
! not be controlled by legislation. We
see the ironclad organization of labor
which rises above the power of injunc-
ton or the force of bayonets.
In this great crisis the great middle
class, the agriculturlsts, "the hope and
strength of the nation" inspired by
noble thoughts to the doing of noble
deeds. can well band themselves into
an organization like the grange, whose
object is the bettcring of themselves
and the world.
The same forces that lead to organ
| ization of capital and impel to indus
trial union point plainly to the social.
business ana fraternal cooperation of
/ the farmers.
! As the future Of this republic depends
! upon n successful agriculture and n
( successful agriculture depends upon q
/ thorough knowledge of the business
and an understanding of our relations
I TO each other and to the world, then 1t
! Is not so much n selfish desire as pa
triotic impulse that leads us to take up
the work of the grange, and as the
grange is developed along the lines It
has marked out for itself so will there
be developed a higher manhood and
womanhood. Nobler deeds will be
wrought, nobler thoughts will be spo-
ken, higher levels attained, and in the
enlightenment and general improve
ment we will share with the rest and
our reward will be sure and certain.-

"To develop better and higher man.
hood and womanhood among ourselves"
is one of the foundation principles of
the grange. When we begin to look
around us TO see how we can tighten
the burden on some other shoulders,
then it is that we begin the develop
ment of a truly higher type of manhood
and womanhood within ourselves. If
we can put some touches of rosy sun
set into the life of those about us, then
we may feel that we have not lived in
vain.
