CHURCH BUILT FROM A TREE
Single Giant Redwood Of California
Furnished Enough Material for
the Whole Structure.

In Santa Rosa, Cal, is a Baptist
church building, the product of sim
gle giant redwood tree which grew
In the neighborhood of Guerneville, a
few miles distant from where 1t now
stands. Not only is the main struc-
ture built from the one tree, but the
interior finishings-except the floor,
which is of pine-are of the same
wood, beams, pulpit and seatings, not
a particle of plaster or other similar
material being used in this remark
able building.
The tree when sawed yielded 49,
900 feet Of lumber, and after the build
ing was finished in every particular,
enough material was left to manufac-
ture several thousand shingles, be-
sides a quantity OF scantlings, joists
and other dimension stun. So careful
ly were the details planned and so
skilfully was the framework put to-
gether, that the builders of this one
tree church declared 1t might be as
enduring as the old Saxon churches
of England built centuries ago out Of
native timber and still in use. 1t is
gothic in style, finished with massive
buttresses outside and heavy beams
inside. A tower 70 feet high was built
on the southwest corner, but it came
down at the time OF the great earth
quake in 1906.

TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
Declared In These Days TO Be the
only Safe Topic Of Con
versatlon.

Perhaps the chief reason why the
weather is a suitable topic for conven.
tional conversation is It's usefulness.
Nothing can be done with the weather
except talk about II, so the talk Is
not liable to interruption by call TO
action. Hard times are topic OF
general interest, common alike to mill
llonaire and nottingham. But II you
say to a perfect stranger the times
are hard he may take advantage Of
that admission by asking for a sub
scription for some charity or by de-
handing that you vote the socialist
ticket.
The weather is. in fact, almost the
only safe topic left for pure CONVERSE
ton in this energetic and practical
age, says the New York Independent.
However much you may deplore the
badness of the weather, nobody is
likely to hold you responsible for It
or call upon you to remedy 1t unless
you run across a crank who is raising
fund to lombard the heavens for
the production OF rain or the dissipa-
ton of hailstorms.
Leading OF with the weather in
spires confidence because It is tradi-
tional and established opening. II
man on being introduced to young
woman is asked by her II he is mar
ried. or on meeting a stranger in a
dark and deserted road is asked what
time II is. his suspicions are aroused
at once. In fact, any conversational
opening except the conventional one
Is liable to raise the inquiry, what
does he mean by it?"
II, however, one begins with the
weather we know that he means moth
Ing by It, and we may continue the
with ease of mind. Be
Ing then both useless and useful, the
weather is unequaled as a topic Of
in fits formal and pre-
iminary stages.

Worth Knowing.

Roentgen rays are produced under
suitable conditions by electric dis
charge in vacuum tubes. They pass
through wood, flesh, paper and other
OFFICIALLY opaque substances, but are
absorbed by such substances as metal,
bone and glass; for which reason
when limb OF an animal body is in
terposed It will cast upon screen a
shadow In which the dark, bony CEN
trail structure can be clearly distin-
guished. These shadow pictures also
show the presence of foreign metallic
substances such as bullets. needles,
etc. in the body. and are OF immense
service In surgery.
