HIGH JUMPING AT SEA.

A Whale That Jumped Over Boat
-Tunas That Leap 20 Feet.
"The most stupendous of all leap
ers of the sea-" says a writer in Out
ing, sis the whale. I have seen
monster weighing hundreds of tons,
possibly eighty feet in length, rise
slowly and deliberately out of the
water until it appeared to be dancing
on the surface, entirely clear of it,
then sink slowly back.
"Such a leap is on record in the
annals of the British Navy. A large
whale cleared boat, going COM
pletely over it, an estimated leap of
twenty feet in air-how many in
lateral direction was not known.
Exactly how high tuna can leap
it is difficult to say. | have seen the
water beaten into foam by them four
miles distant, and have a photograph
showing a fish-a black streak at
least a mile distant high in air-a
jump of certainly ten or fifteen feet;
and it is my opinion, based on what
I have seen, that it is possible for a
lusty tuna, at full speed to project
itself twenty feet into the air and
thirty or forty feet in a horizontal
direction.
81 Judge the latter possible from
the leap of big tuna which cleared
the kelp and landed high on the rocks
at Santa Catalina. l have often stood
in the centre of school of leaping
tunas and watched them, but the sit
uation is not one suggestive of re
pose or peace of mind"

Ginoer GROWING in Texas.

Lock Don, the official Chinese in
terpreter of the United States govern
ment here, may have the distinction
of introducing into Texas a new plant
which may open up a very profitable
crop to the people of Southwest
Texas About year ago, while in
San Francisco, Lock Don secured
some Jamaica ginger plants and
brought them to San Antonio and
planted them in his yard. The plants
grew and fourished, and examination
by experts in plant knowledge brings
out the fact that this section is ad-
mirably adapted for raising the plant.
These facts were disclosed at a
meeting of the Business Mems Club
by Edward w. Knox, president of the
State Horticultural Society, and DR..
David Griffith, assistant agriculturist
of Washington, D. G.
The success in raising the ginger
here will be communicated to Wash
ington, in order that the Consul in
China may secure cuttings from the
roots to plant on the various govern
ment demonstration farms in South

Railroads Taking Steps to Offset De-
pletion of the Forests.
E. A. Sterling, Forester of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, has just re-
turned from an inspection of the
large wood-preserving plants in the
Far West. He reports that with the
growing scarcity of timber for ties
Western railroad systems are going
into tree planting and wood preserv-
ing on a large scale.
Western railroads. said Mr.. Ster-
ling in talking of his trip through the
West, ARE now treating large per-
centage of their ties, piling, and con-
Structing timber with creosote and
other oils.
In addition to treating the timber
the Santa Fe is planting eucalyptus
trees on a 9,000-acre tract near San
Diego. Cal. The timber manager of
this company has been sent to Aus
tralia to look up new species of trees.
''The Southern Pacific operates two
plants at West Oakland, CAL, one at
Houston, Texas, and another at Los
Angeles, Cal. Red fir and pine are be-
ing treated. In the Northwest the
Oregon Railway & Navigation main
tains a zinc chloride and creosoting
plant at Wyeth, Oregon, while COM
mercial plants are located on Puget

There is still much diversity Of
opinion as to the best process of

of such chemicals as zinc chloride"
