Tree. Thnt Form 1.lnnds,

In the course of great rivers, islands
are generally formed by the stranding
of trees, shrubs, plants and such things
brought down by the current. In the
Mackenzie river of Canada the whole
process OF island making in this way can
be easily observed. Trees borne down
from the banks by the undermining ac-
tion of the current usually retain con-
siderable mass of earth and stones en-
tangled in their roots. They, therefore,
readily sink, and by doing SO form con-
siderable shoals, which time converts
into regular vegetable islands. Then a
thicket Of small willows covers the
newly formed land and their fibrous
roots serve to bind the whole firmly to-
gether. A peaty soil is formed by the
gradual decay of the vegetation, includ-
ing the trunks Of the trees, and on this
many new varieties of plants spring
up. Sometimes the island clears Its
moorings and floats away down stream
until it is again arrested by an obsta-
Gle, or it may become in sense water
logged and subside close to the bottom.
In this latter case it often gets covered
over with mud and sand, which form
new and more permanent land sur
face above it.

A stng and n Ladder.

Acurse Reversed.

The New York Evening Mail has
the following comment upon the de-
naturization of alcohol;
By the free alcohol bill passed by
the house, deadly curse will be
turned into an incalculable public
blessing. It has been hard ques
ton hitherto to answer: why did the
Almighty put Alcohol into every
thing that grows, to poison and mad
den the human race?" But it will
be answered completely when cheap
alcohol, forever, rendered incapable
of working mischief to men, turns
the wheels of industry and warns
ard illuminates the houses of the
people.
"Denaturized" alcohol is alcoh O
made undrinkable and uncombin-
able in beverages, when not devoted
to an industrial progress.
In his remarks favorirg this bill,
before the committee on ways and
means, Secretary Wilson explained
how the soil could be made to pro-
duce in alcohol all the fuel the coun-
try needs, and added:
The northern states could readily
depend upon the white potato as o
source of heat and light, the south
ern states upon the yam and the
sweet potato and the western states
upon the sugar beet. . a** The
average amount of sugar and starch
which goes to waste in the stalks Of
Indian corn annually would make
100 gallons of commercial alcohol
per acre. When we consider that
the number OF acres in Indian corn
is approximately 100,O0O,0OO it il
seen that the quantity ofalcohol thai
is lost in the stalks is so large as t.
be almost beyond the grasp Of oul
conception.
All this is calculated to make thai
old pcssimist Malthus turn in his
grave. for it helps to prove that little
man is only beginning to appreciate
the productive power of the earth.

The First Stove.

The most Important uses of fire were
taught by fire itself. AS the primitive
man stood near the flames of the burn
Ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through n forest and overlook a deer
and baked 1t he learned that fire might
be used to improve the quality Of his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him n fire ON his floor of earth.
His dwelling filed with smoke, but lie
could endure the discomfort for the
ssake of the fires warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness of the cook
ed meats. After time hole was
made in the roof Of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The primi-
tive stove was the entire house, the
floor was the fireplace and the hole in
the roof was the chimney. The word
"stove" originally meant "a heated
ROOM" So that If we should say that
ut first people lived in their stoves we
would say that which is literally true.

The Temple of Diana,

The most noted fire which involved
the burning of a single editice was the
destruction of the great temple of Di-
ana at Ephcsus in B. G. 356 on the
night Alexander the Great was born.
The fire was kindled by Herostratus,
who when apprchendcd confessed that
his only desire was to transmit his
name to further ages. He was put to
death with exquisite and prolonged
tortures, and the Ephesian senate COM
manded that on pain Of death his name
should never be pronounced, hoping
thus to disappoint his expectation.

A Peculiar Situation.

The case of the Iowa murderer
whose attorneys contend that he
cannot be executed because the date
Sc. by the court in pronouncing
Judgment has long since passed,
thanks to the laws delays, and no
provision vas made for postpone
ment, finds its exact opposite in the
case of Washington murderer
whose failure to die has made void
his pardon. In the one case mans
liberty is demanded because he did
not die; in tho other case mans
Imprisonment is demanded for the
same reason.
The Washington case is peculiar
in the extreme. A convicted murder
er who had served a number OF years
in the pcnitentiary was on the point
Of death, at least, SO the prison
physician reported. His friend made
one last, heroic effort to secure his
release. Governor Mead granted
the parole in order, as a Spokane
newspaper expresses it, that "he
might die in dignity on the bosom
of his relatives" But so thankless
was the released convict that in
stead of obligingly shuffling off the
mortal coil at once and thus keeping
faith with the governor, he immed-
lately began to regain his health and
is now so fit and fine that he is able
to do a hard days work and enjoy
life as much as the next man. This
untimely recovery, the Spokane
newspaper continues, is taken by
the governor to be breach of the
conditions of parole and Spencer,
because he overlooked this opportu-
nifty, is likely to be remanded back
to prison to serve out his timo."
Here is situation for the novelist:
in order TO remain out of prison the
man must die, if he refuses he sur
renders liberty and, in the course of
a few years at most, life. The
problem surpasses that of the lady
OF the tiger. Shall the man die at
once and keep faith with the gov
ernor, or shall he persist in living
and thereby relinquish all that life
has in store for him?
The Iowa case has attracted con.
siderable attention, on account Of
the novelty of the contention, but
we must modestly admit that the
Washington case is far more inter-
esting. For once Iowa retires into
