1T FELL IN FIFTH CENTURY
And Shingles Are Still Obtained From
Prehistoric Trunk of Red Cedar
Tree in Greet Northwest

Shingles are still obtained from the
log of a western red cedar tree which
fell in a forest of the great Northwest
between 13 and IA centuries ago. The
huge trunk lies where 1t fell, blown
over, perhaps by the winds Of the fifth
century, A. D.
Straddling the log, with its roots In
the ground at either side is the great
stump, ten feet high, of another tree
of the same species, also still sound.
The latter tree was evidently felled by
woodsmen many years ago. Its annual
rings number 1850, which permits OF
an awe-inspiring guess at the age OF
the log which 1t straddles. This meth
cd of growth, by the way, is not an I'M
usual phenomenon. Seeds lying on the
surface of the fel led trunk were nour-
ished by the wet moss which covered
1t and sent sprouts down to the ground
on either side. 1t Is obvious, therefore,
that the log on the ground was OF
ripe old age 1880 ears ago when the
second tree was taking root.
Since the prone log is hollow It's
rings cannot be coun ted. Moss which
covered both log and stump and pre-
served them against decay was evident
ly burned on In a comparatively re-
cent forest fire. The species of tree
described furnishes more shingles
than any other tree In the world
the famous western cedar shingles,
known in every mi,rket In the country.

Their AppetItes Were Poor.

1t was the boast Of certain famous
gourmand about New York that he

surrounded by half-dozen lamb chops
merely as the foundation Of a fair

and host, taking his preprandial cock
tails, invited his guest of honor to men
ton his preference In the way of an
appetizer. The guest, food worship

as how three dozen cherry-stone clans
might start him of right. And the
hideous part of 1t is none Of the party
