NATURAL Dixie IN CALIFORNIA.
Strange Volcanic Formation Along

Nature is full of strange freaks.

and even dust-produce results that

on colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty fac

This stream is of considerable size.
and the work. of natures gigantic
forces may be seen between the upper
and lower cascades of the river.
II is what might properly be called

for some distance along Fall River.
near its banks and nearly parallel to
the sourse. II bears close resem-
blance to roughly constructed wall.
The top of this dixie is very ragged
and the height of varying attitudes.
In some places IL is 20 feet high and
several feet in thickness. AMI again
may he easily c'ambered over. The
rock of which this wall of nature is
composed is of a very porous charac-
ter, bearing some resemblance tc
pumicestone, though much more solid
and of greater specific gravity.
That entire region is of volcanic or
igin and evidently was once the scene
OF great eruptive activity. Scoria and
lava abound. though the face of the
country is now thickly clad with tim.
Der and brush. The dixie begins and
ends abruptly.
The wall of the dixie Is evidently
the result of volcanic forces. and has
no doubt stood for many centuries.
IL stands clear from clinging rocks.

walls, and is very straight. The mys.

THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.
In Rapidly and Hardness Of lts
Growth lt Has No Equal.

One Of the most useful and wonder
ful CT all the trees is the eucalyptus.
II is predicted by the United States
bureau of forestry that within a few
years the different varieties OF cue alyp-
tus will solve the fuel problem. both
In America and in Europe. In the
rapidity and the hardness of its
growth this tree has no equal. Five
years from the time of planting
groves raised from seedlings will
yield as cords of stove wood an acre.
Three to FIVE years from the time of
cutting sprouts that spring from the,
stumps mature into trees that produce
more cords to the acre than the or
iginal growth. Repeated cuttings add
to the thriftiness of the eucalyptus.
A period Of 25 years will develop
trees the size of oaks known to be
300 years old. In some
nearly exhausted as fuel the eucalyp-
tus is taking its place.
Some varieties thrive in tropical
swanps. Others flourish In the noun.
tain SHOWS far above the timber line
To every degree of climate and con-
dition between these extremes some
species from this prolific genus Is
adapted. Scientists have demonstrate.
ed that eucalyptus has a wonderful
effect upon climate. From some OF
the swampy areas of Italy malaria has
been banished by the growth of the
eucalyptus groves. This is due both
to the tonic and medical effects of it's
aroma and the trees phenomenal
capacity for absorbing water.
Notwithstanding the latter trait,
however. some varieties of the blue
gum will thrive on arid plains. Soil
on which not even cactus will live will
produce great eucalyptus trees.
The genus is invaluable as a source
Of timber. The uses it is put to in
this regard are amazingly diverse In
Australia ii Is used extensively in the
construction of ships. buildings.
bridges, vehicles, agricultural imple-
ments, furniture. barrels and hun
dreds OF minor articles.
Faultless hardwood logs over 200
feet long. 100 feet in diameter at the
top and 30 feet in diameter at the
base are hewn from giant eucalyptus.
IL Is one OF the most durable of hard
woods. This is a remarkable fact
when the celebrity of its growth is con
sidered. In repairing a decayed pier
at Santa Barbara. Cal. it was found
that few piles were perfectly sound.
Examination disclosed that they had
been hewn from eucalyptus trees

OUR AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.
The Large Thing We have Accom-
piished In Fifty Years.

The farm gardens. market gar.
dens." and truck gardens" OF today
are the producers of a multitude of
miscellaneous vegetables" almost un.
known fifty years ago. In the cen.
sus of 1890 the large increase in gar.
den products was recognized. and a
systematic count of their bulk and
value was made. II is possible.
therefore. to make a ten-year compari-
son OF the increase Of such products.
and this records the remarkable in.
oreases of from 100 percent to 400 per-
cent in the five several divisions of
the country. The North Atlantic
States had a well-developed industry
in garden products" before 1899.
which accounts for its relatively low
increase. However. 100 percent in ten
years, while the population increased
only trifie over 20 percent, Is amaz-
ing.
