Mining Timber.
Beds of PrehistoriG Trees Under The
Earth'S Surface

You know all about mining. or, ni
least, you know the sort Of things thai
are obtained from the depths Of the
earth. such as gold, iron, coal, salt and
precious stones. Did you ever hear OF
mining timber: The chances are that
you did not, and yet there was Il time
when the mining of white cedar was
one Of the most important industries
Of New Jersey.
Those who dclvcu In the swampy
earth in pursuit Of the great and per
fectly preserved logs were not compelled
TO dig deep pits, for the trunks Of those
prehistoric trees were seldom more
than fifteen feet below the surface
Many Of the logs were as much as six
feet In diameter. and one was found
with 1,OSO annual rings. Beneath this
tree, which had fourished in its native
forest for more than thousand years
there was dug up another tree Of an
even earlier forest with more than SOC
rings.
New Jersey is by no means the only
state III the Union or the only part OF
the world where prehistoric trees are
to be found SO perfectly preserved that
even their characteristic OdOr Is re-
tanned. Near Salem, O., large guam.
tity Of timber was dug up at depth
Of forty feet, the trees incased in O
thick layer Of glacial mud, and it is
nothing uncommon in eastern Michigan
for the diggers Of wells to encounter
tree trunks sixty feet down In the soft
earth. The wood thus obtained is the
best wood to be had, especially for fine
cabinet work. In Germany it has long
been the custom to dredge the deep bed
Of the Rhine for ancient logs out of
which the cases Of the finest toned pi

Luck In Name OnIy.

Lutsk. or Luck, to give it the Polish
name. is another Of the towns Of east
ern Europe which can point to
checkered history. 1t is traditonally
said TO have been founded in the sew
enth century. Four hundred years
later it had developed into the capital
of an independent principality. After
further lapse of four centuries we
find it wealthy place and the seat Of
n bishOpric. But evil times awaited it.
During the RusSO-PoliSh wars Of the
sixteenth century its 10000 inhabitants
were cXterminatcd. and Lutsk lost its

Meetings could then be held. Of
course, no dues could be levied, as
unemployed men and women cannot

MEAT INSPECTION.-Does it not
seem strange that foot and mouth
disease was unknown among cattle
here in the middle west until the beef
barOns began exporting meats to
war-Tidden Europe?
Would physicians advise the
slaughter of human beings who had
been exposed to the highly conta-
gious diseases, such as yellow fever,
smallpox, etc.?
The tuberculosis scare and chol-
era have been played out by the sys-
tenn of inspection that saddles the
loss on the producer and enables the
packers to throw a scare into the
stock raiser. The latter sends his
livestock to market on falling price
and it is kept in storage to be slaugh-
tered for any price the consumer is
able to pay.
Dr.. Dyson, when connected with
the U. S. govt inspection service at
the Union stock yards, issued a re-
port that over go per cent of the dairy
herds in the dairy districts of Wiscon-
sin and Illinois were affected with
tuberculosis. When the government
