OLDEST TREE is ON cos
1t Measures 80 Feet in circumference
and Is More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest trees In the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude OF $50 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees OF California.
some Of which are 276 TO 1913 feet in
height. and los feet In circumference
at the base. From measurements OF
the rings IL Is believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree In the
world Is said to exist on the island OF
Cos OF the coast OF Asia Minor. II is
several thousand years old but just
how many no one has dared to- say.
The tree is carefully preserved by
wall OF masonry around Il. and the
trunk is thirty feet In circumference.
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today, which are known TO
be over thousand years old. piles
driven by the Romans prior TO the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day. and IL Is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump.
many rotting in from five to ten
years, but when immersed in water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov
ernment to preserve woods indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from five TO ten years

A bitter cry against the modern

Sport Was Once Very Popular With
English ResIdents--Is Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice.
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In
dian princes in former days, although
the initiation OF European forms OF
sport has done much In these times
TO rob IL OF ancient vogue.
II was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part OF India. for the cheetah
even now is not rare beast, and a
century or so ago must have been
common enough.
Another animal used In the same
way by Indian mobiles was a sort OF
lynx. spelled varlously as shoe
goose" "syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the chez
tab. However. II was not only In
dians who INDUCED in this form OF
sport.
II was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans as well in the days when
they were content TO abide In India
for fifteen years at stretch and
wnen they lived lIniienne in a way
unknown TO modern times. More than
one OF the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs, which were fire.
quently presents from friendly chiefs.
1t may easily be imagined that chez
teh hunting was very good sport and
welcomed by the servants of the
Company as an excellent substitute
for the coursing which was familiar
TO them in England and which, like
the cheetah hunt, has vanished be-
fore the spread OF games such as ten
mis- and golf.--Madras Mail.

A CYCLING Mouse.


A boy leaving town last summer left
his bicycle suspended from the joists
In the basement OF his home by means
OF ropes In order TO remove the weight
OF the machine from the tires. ON his
return he went into the basement aud
was greatly surprised TO see the front
wheel OF the machine rapidly revolv-
ing lie stared spellhound at II for
some minutes. uEnble TO discover any
cause for the motion.
hut as his eyes became accustomed
to the dim light he observed small
dark object remaining always at the
highest point OF the wheel. and at last
made IL out to be n mouse running on
the outside OF the tire. The weight OF
the animal caused the wheel TO tlrn.
and the mouse was forced 10 travel
continually upward TO avoid being
thrown 1t knew not where. When the
wheel had been stopped and the little
creature lay exhausted on the floor.
the young man looked at the cyclone
ter and found that IL had registered
eighteen miles.
This occurrence was amply substan-
tiated by witnesses. The cyclometer
had been set at zero when lie left the
city. and the bicycle had not been
tempered with during the summer.

Testing Coins.

There goes another man suffering
from degeneration OF public Manners
said the clerk in an aggrieved tone. Il
gave him five pieces OF silyee in maxi
ing change, and he tested every one
OF them to see II II was counterfeit
right before nay eyes II is only late
ly that people who buy have got rude
enough TO do that. Clerks always did
IL with coin that customers gave them,
but that was a prerogatiye OF the
trade. For the customer TO assume the
same privilege is a usurpation OF an
cient rights. The worst OF IL Is most
people nowadays are pretty good
judges OF bad money. and every little
while coin is refused because ii is
counterfeit The only way tradesmen
can teach customers the respect due
them Is TO turn their own backs when
testing money. That has always been
the custom in England No tradesm;sl
over there would dare FLIP coin un.
der customers nose, and as a con.
sequence no customed has ever taken
that liberty with him.
