Minino For Coffin PIanka.

One Of the most curious Industries In
the world Is the business of mining for
coffin planks, which Is carried on In
upper Tonkin. portion of the French
possessions in southeastern Asia. In
a certain district In this province there
exists great underground deposit of
logs. which were probably the trunks
of trees cngulfed by an earthquake or
some other commissions of nature at a
comparatively recent period. The trees
are a species of pine known to the
natives and also to some extent to Eu-
ropean commerce as "nam-hou." The
wood Is almost imperishable and has
the quality, either through Its nature
or as the result of its sojourn under
ground, of resisting decay from damp.
This quality makes It particularly val
liable for the manufacture of collins,
and for this purpose It IS largely ex
ported to Europe. The trees are often
yard In diameter. They are buried
In sandy earth at depth Of from two
to eight yards and are dug up by ma
tive labor as demand Is made for them.

time she first turned turtle until she

BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.
And tho Tiny Coils That Give Them
Their Brilliant Hues.

And tho Tiny Cells That Give Then,
Their Brilliant Hues.
A leaf Is one of the most beautiful
things In nature and 1t is very won
derful to think that 1t owes its lovely
color to minute little living bodies or
cells of chlorophyll. This word comes
from two Greek ones. chloros. green,
and phullon. a leaf. and Is used to
describe the ordinary coloring matter
Of vegetation.
The chlorophyll cells or granules
absorb the light and heat of the suns
rays and in some marvellous way,
which only scientists can understand
manufacture the sugar which Is neces-
sary for the life of the tree itself by
combining the carbonic acid gas of the
atmosphere with the water drawn In
by its roots. These tiny cells are so
very small that as many as 100000
have been counted In a square MILL
meter of the leaf OF castor oil plant,
and In order that they may come In
contact with as much sunlight as pos
sible the leaf turns slightly on its stalk
toward the sun.
If you notice the arrangement of the
leaves on a bough you will see that
nature has placed them SO that they
form an almost perfect light screen
and catch all the sunshine that there
is. If it were not for the constant
work Of these little chlorophyll cells
the splendid trees in our forests would
wither and die and there would be no
green things left in the world.-Lon-

SkOWhegan Man Watches Dirt Fly
Down In the Big Ditch.

No man can appreciate the magni-
tude of the Panama canal. unless he
mas been there and has seen it. said
the Hon. E. N Merrill when asked for
an opinion of that work Saturday.
After they close down the gates at
the Gatun Dam" he continued, they
| estimate that fourteen months will be
required to fill up the artificial lake
behind it," Mr. Merrill has just re-
turned from a visit to the big ditch,
and while there saw some very i'm
pressive sights.
The party left the steamer at Colon,
and went by train first to the great
Culebra Cut The railroad track was
some little distance from the bank,
and as they walked over and looked
down into the canal, they saw one OF
the wonderful sights of the earth.
Some thirty-five thousand men were
at work all told, and Mr.. Merrill said
they looked like bees" The bottom
of the canal is several hundred feet
wide at that point, and is covered
with a vast network of railroad
tracks. Giant steam shovels and steam
drills were at work everywhere, yet
everything was moving as smoothly
as though 1t were a vast machine
shop MIR Merrill timed with a stop
watch the process of loading the cars,
and found the average time required
to be twenty-five seconds. Each car
was loaded with one scoopful. and the
dirt trains practically kept moving all
the time.
The perfect sanitary conditions
seemed to have impressed Mr.. Merrill
the most however. The assistant in
the chief engineer told the party that
the French engineering was practical
" perfect, but they had buried thirty
five thousand men, and made hardly
more than a start. Under it's present
management the death rate in the
Canal zone is the lowest of any place
in the world. Drainage and waste
disposal had been so carefully attend
ed to that although the temperature
was around ninety degrees during his
visit, Nh Merrill did not see a single
mosquito, and no more than half a
dozen flies during the trip across the
Tsthmus and back. For territory
along the banks of a sluggish tropical
stream, this achievement by the sani-
tary corps is without a parallel.
