Pcrry's Big Guns.

Commodore Perry had not yet
electrified grateful nation with his
immortal message, 1--WE have met the
enemy, and they are ours" While the
battle was in progress the sound OF
the guns was heard at Cleveland,
about 60 miles away I'm a direct line
over the water. The few settlers there
were expectins he battle and listened
with intense interest. Finally the
sounds ceased. They waited for a
renewal. None came; the lull was
painful. Then they knew the\ battle
was over; but the result--ah. that
was the point. One old fellow, who
had been lying fiat with his ear to
the ground. soon settled that point.
Springing up. he clapped his hands
and shouted: THANK God! They are
whipped! They are whipepd!"
How do you know?" the others
inquired.
Heard the big guns last!"
Perry's guns were the heaviest.

OF Asia, which is at least as opera
tive as the comfy Of Europe. Or is
1t possible that an emotion lin to
the one which produced the Crusades,
AMI though not so directly con-
nected with any religious impulse,
still fatal to quiesence, is sweeping
through Asia from Nagasaski to the
Fosphorus, stirring up races which
for ages have slept the sleep Of con-
tent, but are now determined to ad-
vance upon some path, mental Or
physical, which they think open? The
thing occurred when the barbparians
rose on Rome, and again when sci
ence in its second revival told men
that the sun, in spite Of the evidence
of their eyes, did not rise and set.
Doubt came then into the world, and
all the world was shaken
What the result will be we know as
little as our readers; but, of this we
feel assured, that the relation Of the
continents will be permanently alter
ed.

a New Wood.

The latest discoveries Of valuable
qualities in a formerly neglected spe-
cies of tree resulted after an investi-
CATION Of the tupelo gum, which finds
its home In the Southern swamps.
Tupelo two years ago was little known
and seldom used even in the parts of
the country where 1t is most plentiful.
In the cutting of cypress in the Gulf
States, where tupelo is found In large
quantities. the trees We're disregard
ed. 1t was found that the preju dice
then existing against the wood was
caused by lack of knowledge of it's
properties and lack Of care in handling
the material. The Investigations car
ried on by the United States forest
service have proved the value Of the
wood for a number Of Uses. The re-
suit Of these studies largely removed
the prejudices against this gum, and
in short time the demand for tupelo
rapidly increased.
Ine WOOD is now widely used, not
only in the States where it grows,
but also in distant parts of the coun-
try, in the manufacture of wooden
pumps. sounding boards for violins
and organs, mantels and interior fin
ishing. such as moulding, door and
window frames and door jambs. It is
also manufactured into all kinds of
lumber including good grade of
| edge grain flooring. Tupelo gum in
the form OF flooring was recently
found competing successfully with
Douglas fir in the Los Angeles mar
ket even though bearing a freight
rate Of IS cents hundred weight from
its source Of production in Louisiana.
