OLD LIBRARY IN NEWPORT
Redwood Institution, That Was
Founded in 1747, One of the>
First in America

One hundred and twenty-seven
years ago the Pilgrims landed on the
stern and rockbound coast of New
England and Redwood library was
incorporated. The idea of this IL
brary had its inception in the Philo-
sophical society, organized in 1870, Of
which Bishop Berkeley was the lead
er. "A similar society of Philadel-
phians, known as the American Philo-
sophical society, was. according to
Benjamin Franklin, its founder, the
mother to all North American sub
scription libraries, says the Detroit
News. The Philosophical society at
Newport developed into library
through the generosity OF Abraham
Redwood, who placed at the disposal
of the society $500 for the purchase
of standard books in London.
At the time the Redwood library
was organized there were only two
similar institutions in America, the
Library company of Philadelphia, al.
ready referred to, and the Loganian
library in the same city. Part of the
present building, completed in 1850,
was the second library built in the
country, and is at the present time
the Oldest library building in use in
the United States. 1t was designed
by Peter Harrison, the first profess
sioDal architect in America.

CODE OF MEN IN GOLD FIELDS
No Miner Was Permitted to Hold More
Land Than He Could
Work

The mining code devised by the men
first in the Western gold fields
whether by unwritten agreement be
tween partners or less formal conclu-
sions Of a miners convention-was
most democratic" says the Detroit
News. The universally recognized prin-
ciple allowed every man the usufruct
of as much land as he could work to
advantage, and the dimensions of a
claim varied from 10 to 100 feet square
according to the quality Of the dirt, -
the difficulty of working and the mum.
Der of miners in the field. The discov-
erer of the bar was, however, entitled
to first choice to double the usual por-
ton.
A mans title held only so long as
he worked the claim. A certain amount
OF earth must be taken out each week,
and an absence of five consecutive
days might entail forfeiture. The
claim, if proved valuable, was staked
out and a notice of ownership posted.
But a tool left on the spot was suffi-
cient evidence of occupation. Original
ly no man might hold more than one
claim, but purchase made possible the
ownership of considerable tracts.

FOSSIL FORESTS IN AMERICA

to Exist.

There are only four fossil forests

donal monument, Arizona, and the
others are those in Yellowstone Ma
tional park.
Though the whole history Of the
process Of fossilization is not fully un-
derstood, it is probably dependent
upon entombment of the trees In ma
terials saturated with water containing
q considerable amount Of silica In solu-
ton. This silica-charged water was
drawn up into the wood by capillarity,
the silica being deposited in the cells
and vessels of the wood after the wa
ter evaporated, making an accurate
cast of all open spaces Then, while
the slow process Of decay went on, as
each particle of organic matter was re
moved, Its place was taken by the silica
until finally all the wood substance
had disappeared and its place atom by
atom had been taken by silica.
The forests of the Petrifed Forest
monument are geologically much older
than the others; those near Cairo
Egypt, are believed to be the youngest
The Arizona forests belong probably
to the Triassic period. Therefore

HAD SUBSTITUTE FOR "iNEED"
Ancient Romans Used coltsfoot 40
Remedy and Also as Tobacco,
Says Writer.

The fumes Of dried coltsfoot were
used as q remedy in case Of difficulty
Ia breathing, both in ancient Roman
times and In Tudor England Lyle,
in his translation, 1873, Of Dodoens'
Historic of Plants" says Of coltsfoot !:
1.-THE perfume of the dryed leaves layde
upon quicke coles, taken into the
mouth through the pipe of a funnell,
or tunnel, helpeth suche as are trou-
bled with the shortness of winde and
fetche their breath thicke or often, and
do breake without daunger the impos-
TENS of the breast"
The leaves Of coltsfoot and other
plants have often been used as a sub
stitute for tobacco in modern days. A
correspondent Of Notes and Queries, in
1897, said that when he was a boy
he knew an old Calvinist minister who
used to smoke dry mixture Of the
leaveg Of horehound. yarrow and
'foalsfoot" intermingied with small
quantity Of tobacco. He said 1t was a
very good substitute for the genuine
article.
Similar mixtures, or the leaves OF
coltsfoot alone, have often been
smoked in bygone days by folk who
could not afford to smoke tobacco only.
