The Big Trees Of California
June 20, 1871 By ReD. Thomas =. creoor,

I was 20 years ago today-June 20.
1S41-that John Bidwell discovered
the big Trees OF California. He
was the first white man, so far as we
know. who ever beheld those monarchs
OF the forest Nine years later a hunt
er named Dewd was led into the com
pany OF the forest kings by a bear that
he was chasing, and it was by Dowd
that the knowledge Of the monster
trees was spread abroad. but to Bid
well belongs the distinction of having
been the first civilized man to gaze
upon the wonderful trees.
The Big Trees" as the mighty Sc
quota are called. are found in Calaveras
county, California, chiefly in two
groves" the 'Calaveras'' and the
Mariposa," at an altitude of about 5000
feet above the sea. They are probably
the remains of extensive woods belong
Ing to long-past epoch. Unfortunate
" but few of them are left. there being
only few hundreds Of them all told.
These mighty conifers are easily the
most remarkable Of all trees, both in
age and bulk They are from two to
400 feet in height. and from Is to 40
feet in diameter. A PROSTATE trunk
found in the Calaveras grove is said TO
have measured IS feet in diameter 800
feet from the base The Mother OF the
Forest" was foolishly stripped of it's
bark in 1852, and soon after died At
Its base its circumference was 100 feet
and its height 331 feet. The key
stone State" the tallest OF the Sequoia
now standing, measures 425 feet IN
height and "a feet in circumference at
its base.

Sunday school of a CONGREGATIONAL
church in Chicago received an endow-
ment last winter of $4,000. Quite a
number of schools are building up their
own perman ent endowment fund. A
Sunday school in Brooklyn, N Y. has
five years raised $1,000 annually for
this purpose and others are following
it's example.
The expenses for the equipment of a
Sunday school are increasingly heavy
The periodicals are attractively got up
as regards appearance and materiaI.
Many OF the best paid writers lin the
world contribute to their columns, and
their illustrations compare favorably
with those Of other Juvenile publica-
tons The Sunday school library is a
continuous source of expense as it is IN
certain way the rival OF the free
public library. There must be a con-
siderable amount Of money spent for
supplies for the work in the classes OF
younger children In many large
schools the beginners are taught by
trained kindergartners who require all
the materials used for their work in
other schools. The Introduction Of
water color work in illustration of the
lesson stories is only one Of the inno-
vations in the modern Sunday school
Use OF StereOptfcan.
The stereoptican Is used in an in
creasing number OF schools for teach
ing the lesson by means of pictures
All OF these methods require the ex-
penditure of money never thought Of
in the days when the equipment Of a
school demanded nothing more than a
few cheap1y bound Bibles. The dra-
mat1zation Of the Sunday school lesson
Is another method of attraction lately
being used. There are many parts Of
the scriptures which lend themselves
TO dramatic effect The uptodate Sun
day school workers are very liberal In
their views as to the utilization of every
scheme likely to hold the attention OF
their pupils.
Sunday school work is now under
stood tohave a fourfold object. name
~: spiritual, social civic and world
wide It's spiritual side deals with its
religious instruction which was form
erly its sole object. The social side
may be made to include many things
tending to promote the pleasure and
social intercourse among the members
Glasses may form social and recreation
clubs Of various kinds and in many
cases the Sunday school has become the
best social asset Of the church. The
uptodate Sunday school has civic
department which may work for any
apparent need in the way of village or
city Improvement. Temperance work
is always an important feature in Sun
day school cfFics.

into the dark hole underneath the
stairs, but there is no trace of Jac1ues
anywhere. She does not know what 10
think, her heart beats with excitement.
but at last she concluded that he must
have gone away when the Iocksmith
left. Her anxiety grows. Perhaps
Jacques has been kidnaoed by wicked
peopl@perhaps he will never be found
again. And what makes it more ter
rible than anything is that she cannot
leave the school TO try to find him. and
it will be dreadful when little Jacques's
mother comes TO take him home and
asks: ''Mademoiselle, where is my
boy?"
She will send for the principal who
will be very angry.
"what have you done with little
Jacques?" she will ask. You are re-
sponsible for the children You are
bad teacher. You do not look after
the children and do not love them"
How uhjustl Mademoiselle does
love little jacques. she has always
been fond of him and it is really not her
fcult that he has run away"
Then something very sad happens.
Mademoiselle begins to cry.
Mademoiselle cries. Mademoiselle,
whose face IS otherwise always smiling
and full of love. 1t is all over A chill
runs through the classroom and to the
children it seems as If everything has
suddenly turned dark. Mademoisella
bows her head and her beautiful eyes
are full of tears.

or two of them sob quite aloud 1t Is

Mademoiselle asks him:
You don't love me-"
She stops and looks at her audience
while trying to find moral ending to
her tale.
The children are anxious. Is Made
moiselle in the story to start crying
again? No, they do not want her To
They cannot bear that, and with fever
ish anxiety they search their own i'm
agination.
Why did jacques run away? OF
course they must invent a pious lie,
they must find this semblance Of truth
which Is the charity Of and experience
toward wronged innocence
why did Jacques run away?" the
teacher asks once more
Anxious voices reply on all sides:
! For nothing Just to see -@
But at last Totor gravely raises his
head and says:
Because Mademoiselle was awfully
tired that day. Jacques run away be-
cause he loved Mademoiselle. because
he wanted her TO have one less to look
after, when she was so tired"

nNE Of the great romances Of the
j world, which hangs in the back
ground Of history, imposing by
the vastneSs and strangeneSs OF its
terminal catastrophe, has recently been
the subject of a new investigation. con-
Quoted with the thoroughness OF Ger
man scholarship by Herr c. Gagel 1t
is the story of the lost continent Of
Atlantis. The facts collected by Herr
Gagel, together with discovery made
only last year by NJ. Pitard. go far to
rehabilitate the Atlantis legend by
showing the probability that a great
continent did really once exist in the
eastern half of the Atlantic ocean, ano
that the volcanic islands Of the Azores.
the Canaries and the Cape de Verdes
now represent all that is left of II
above the level Of the sea.
Herr Gage1 shows that the volcanic
rocks of these islands are underlain
by more ancient strata such as would
constitute the base of a continent
Under the more recent volcanic layers
in the Canaries and the Cape de Verdes
there have been recognized other vol
canic rocks of more ancient origin, and
also metamorphic rocks and sediment
airy strata, and NJ. Pitard has found
in the Canaries unquestionable Gre
taceous deposits.
This would seem 70 indicate that the
lost content was yet in existence dur
ing the period when a vast area of the
sea separated the Rocky mountain re-
gion from the eastern half OF North
America, and when gigantic dinosaurs
flourished over a large area Of what is
now the United States. At that time,
as far as we know. man had not ap-
peared on any of the existing conti
nents, and yet the dim traditions on
which Plato based his description OF At

Nothing BasFfuI About Ty Cobb
Expects To Beat Batting Record

Tyrus the Terrible was never
backward with his mouth. The
blonde whirlwind who has made
more baseball since he horned
into the American league than
any other individual in history,
Is about as bashful as a show girl
seeking press notices.
Cobb's latest is that he expects
to break the high average batting
record this season, and set mark
for other sure shots.
To realize his ambition the
Tiger star must bat better than
.495, the record established by
j. e. ("Tip"O O'Neill, with the
club of 1887. If he simply desires
to beat the best figure in mod
ern" baseball, Cobb must better
Hugh Duffy's .43S of 1894.
To pass O'Neill's figures, Cobb
must make a hit almost every
other time at bat. To lower the
colors of Duffy he must do nearly
as we'll.
Cobb's belief that he can ac-
complish this difficult feat Is
based upon the fact that he has
been batting better than AGO for
weeks. In previous years Cobb
seldom struck his stride until
after June ], his batting improv-
ing as the season waned. This
year he started fast and has
maintained a furious clip,
eff | improved after June 1
heretofore there is no reason why
should not do so this year, con-
tinuing to improve until the close
of the season. l have been hit
ting better than .430 for some
time, and there is reason to sup
pose | can finish with better
figure than | now have" is
Cobb's way of expressing his
hope.

was won. They had a one run
edge on the Tigers when the ninth
opened, but they hammered away
till they had three more just TO
be on the safe side.
In the meantime the Indians
were getting a little farther away
from the top because the Island
ers won their nineteenth game of
the season yesterday. while Seat

Portland
The series this week ought to
keep the fans trooping out to the
park in crowds. The Tigers are
going strong and the race is tight
as a drum.
And today and tomorrow are
ladies' days.
The Details.
If Willett, Bennett. James and
Swain had been out of the game
the Beavers would have had but
three hits. But this quartet got
three apiece, and they always
punched 'em. No wonder we lost.
Tacoma looked dangerous in
the sixth, when with the bases
full, Abbott walked, Mike Lynch
brought Burns in on a long sacri-
fee fly and Rocky drove two men
in ahead of his three-bagger. Then
Pitcher Bedford got the hook.
The Tigers only other run
came in the fifth on Fishers
triple.
Vancouver got Is hits, includ-
ing two homers.
Rocky and Higgins tried the
double steal, but Rocky was
caught at the plate.

Sugar company and owned 5000
shares individually and 49,S15

100000 shares were owned by the

TELLS OF SUGAR WAR.
Details of a great sugar war in
the early COS resulting in an alli-
'ance between Claus Spreckles and
Henry o. Havemeyer, were related
D. Spreckles, son of the Pacific su
gar magnate, and president of the
Western Sugar Refining company of
San Francisco.
when Claus Spreckles met Henry
o. Havemeyer in that old sugar
war;" asked Representative Madison
of the witness, sit was a contest of
Greek against Greek, was 1t not?"
''It certainly was a fight"
Your father was a masterful man
in the sugar industry, was he not?
He was to the Pacific coast what
Henry o. Havemeyer was to the At
lantic, wasn't he-a monarch over
the sugar Industry"
I'm a lawful way, he was" said
Mr.. Spreckles. 1--WE always aim to
carry on our business in a lawful
manner"
Mr.. Spreckles then described how,
during the sugar war, his father in
vaded the eastern territory and
erected a great cane sugar refinery IL
Philadelphia That brought about
the elimination of the fight, the
trust eventually buying the plant.
