6fq Redwood Falls.

A giant has fallen. The Lafayette,
the tallest tree In the Calaveras grove,
300 feet high, with a diameter of 30
feet at its base, has yielded to the
wind, and lies on the ground. This
tree was one of the sequoias, those
towering redwoods of California. Ed
win Markham has described them
thus: "They are the Titans Of our
forests-yeS, the Titans of the forests
of the world. The sequoias are the
oldest living things on the globe, the
survivors of a widespread family or
race Of trees which flourished back
In the MiOcene era, before the age
Of ice. But they all persisted In the
glacial age, except a few in the shell
tered canyon in the southern belt of
California. The Calaveras grove
In the north Is the one whose story
has run most widely on the lips Of
the world" John Muir estimated the
age Of certain sequoia In the Kings
River forest at 1000 years. This
tree had been burned down. These
monarchs Of the woods should be care
fully guarded, from commercial raids
as well as otherwise.

Preserving Fruit In Transit.

In an attempt to evolve methods Of
preventing the spoilage OF fruits and
vegetables by freezing while in transit
or storage, the Department Of Agricul-
ture is conducting thousands Of expert
ments at the Arlington (Ya.) lnbora-
tories, to determine at what tempera-
lures these products freeze. The expert
mental apparatus, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, consists Of a
large tank in which brine ia circulated.
and thermocouples which possess the
peculiar property Of generating weak
and variable currents Of electricity
when they are subjected to changes
In temperature. These variations are
registered by delicate meters. So
sensitive are the thermocouples that
they will detect difference Of
temperature Of .OOO1 degree. In ser
vice, a test specimen Of fruit and
thermocouple are placed In one o.
twelve cups in the lid Of the brine
tank. By watching the specimen and
the meter closely the exact tempera-
ture at which freezing begins is de-
termined with great accuracy.
