several stories as to someone 5

death resulted from the causes
mentioned.

they will turn you out a good

Waste Of Oak Trees.

There is no more striking example
on the Pacific coast of the ruthless
destruction of timber than that which
follows the gathering of oak tanbark.
In the counties of Humboldt and Men
docino in California the industry Of
securing oak tanbark has attained con
siderable proportions. Oak trees Is
inches TO 3A feet in diameter, up to
40 feet 70 the lambs. are not uncom-
mon. To secure this bark the trees
are felled and the bark is stripped
The timber is left untouched on the
ground to rot Until railroad trans
portation can be furnished this waste
Will probably continue The bark in
many instances is secured from indi-
vidual claims, taken up by home
steaders. the timber growth being
practically all oak, which is sacrificed
in order to eke out a precarious live
lihood. From 400 to 600 cords Of
bark can be obtained from a claim.
Thousands of feet of good oak timber
are sacrificed each year to the bark
gathcrer.-The Timberman.

Alaska a Good Investment.

1t is just little more than 40 years
since Gen. Grants administration
closed deal by which Russia coded
Alaska to the United States. The
price was S7,00O,0OO, and the Car took
about half the amount in old gun
boats, OF which we had a surplus left
over from the war Since then we
have taken out OF the territory pro-
ducts amounting to about 1927 900, 900.
or $S,175,000 per year, good bit over
100 per cent per annum on the cost
As we got little profit during the
first 20 years, we are now taking out
something like 200 per cent of the
original cost. But as Alaska contains
a timber supply to last for centur-
les, If properly taken care Of, and
coal to last for years to come, the
bargain was a good one. The fisher
les and other wealth producing re-
sources of Alaska may be made per-
petual. Yet a great cry was raised
against the government for the pur-
chase, and the General bore most of
it.-Los Angeles Times.

South African Metecrite.

a South African correspondent tells
the story of large meteorite, weigh
ing more than half a ton, which has
been sent by DR.. Rogers of the Geo
logical Survey from Prieska, in the
Kenhardt territory of Cape Colony,
to the South African Museum at Cape
Town. The meteorite was found at
Rateldraai, and it looks like a mass
of molten metal, with number OF
cavities or pockets in it, and where
not earth soiled is of a dark blush
leaden color. In parts 1t has been
Clipped with a chisel, or pickax, and
in such cuts it shows small, shiny
specks. 1t is described as a dull,
warped mass Of nickeliferous iron, and
