When a naturalist named Mr.. John
Muir was travelling in the basin of the
Kaweah river, in South America, he
came across a certain Ralph Hopping.
This individual was not engaged in
saltatory exercises, as n would sup
pose, but was herding horses.
Being asked by Mr.. Muir for the loan
of some -four, Ralph Hopping directed
him to his log dwelling, and told him
to make himself at home there. The
naturalist did so, and subsequently de
scribed Mr.. Hopping's abode as "A spa.

lined, centuries old. yet sweet and

is "a habitation built of logs which
have not been squared, but are in their

The log cabin in question is really
a cabin in a log-the "log" being the
trunk of a huge ~sequoia tree. The
