Walnut Loa from Earthquake.

Upon the west bank Of the Mississippi river
at charlottesville, the thriving capital Of Penn
iscot county, most southeastern of the count
les of Missouri, is a walnut log which dates
back to the New Madrid earthquake of 1872.
Reelfoot lake, near Caruthersyille, a great
body of water adjacent to the Mississippi river,
was formed by the sinking of the land caused
by the earthquake. When the land sunk it
took down with it beneath the surface of the
water which flowed III a large forest of wal
nut trees, 1t is one of these trees which has
now been dragged from the bottom of the
lake; smaller trees had been previously taken
out. The present tree, however, is the giant
of the forest, over 10 feet in height and over
3 feet in diameter. 1t is free from sap, has
no signs of decay and is as black and satiny
as the most polished and prepared wood. h.
b. West of Caruthersville bought the log,
which is nearly the entire tree, for 500, and
will convert it into walnut lumber for export
alton.
The walnut trees, which have been land
marks in Missouri for generations, have been
ruthlessly sacrificed for commercial purposes.
In Howard county, a buyer for England has
spent two years collecting walnut lumber for
shipment abroad. He has Just loaded on cars
at Fayette logs for which he has paid $4,000,
which will be sen to Hamburg, Germany,
for manufacture into furniture. For one
Howard county tree was paid $50. These
logs are from above the surface of the water,
but in Pemiscot county trees are taken from
below the surface.-St. Louis Globe Demo
