AUTOMATIC OIIE UNLOADER AT CONNEAUT, OHIO.
Tbo most wonderfnl machine on the chain of great lakes will be in oper
ation the coming season on the Carnegie docks at Conneaut, Ohio. TYith its
introduction at all lake ports there will be little demand for unskilled labor.
The ehovelers at Conneaut, realizing this fact, regard the new machine with
awe and displeasure. Duriug its construction it was deemed prudent to
guard it at night for a time under the glare of several aro lights to insure its
completion. With (he new machine six men can unload a vessel in the same
time that it requires a force of 100 to do the same work. The weight of the
new machine is 400 tons. Its height is more than fifty feet. Equipped
with many swivel and hinge joints its movements are almost human. In the
same period of time that one laborer can sink his shovel into the ore in a
vessel’s hold and lift a lew pounds, the scoop of this machine grasps ten tons.

nia, and the resolution was adopted,
and the Government acquires the
groves.
Some months ago a lumberman
bought an option on the ground for
the purpose of cutting down the big
trees and sawing them into lumber.
, A cry went up in Califouia from the
snows of Mount Shasta to the orange
groves of Los Angeles, to save these
mammoths of the forest. By the ef
forts of the women of California the
matter was brought before Congress
with the above result.
These are the “sequoia giganteas,”
or redwoods that first gave California
her reputation for having the biggest
trees on earth. Through one of them
a Concord stage coach may be driven.
Tho stump of another, thirty feet iu
diameter, is used as a dancing pavil

GOVERNMENT GUARDIAN’S CABIN, MARIPOSA GROVE.
Some scientists say they are 1300
years old. Others insist that they
must be 6000 years old—older than
Christianity, older than the Mosaic
law.
These trees have outlived the Datu
ral age or cycle in which they
longed. The climate and surround
ings of to-day are not congenial and
they are slowly dropping their limbs
and wearing away with age and
weather.
Some of these grooves of trees were
offered for sale recently at ridicuously
low prices—$20 an acre for large
tracts that have in some places six or

YOSEMITE STAGE COACH ON THE “FALLEN MONARCH.”
seven of the great trees upon each
acre.
It is difficult to realize that but for
the prompt action of Congress, for n
few dollars one could have bought a
tree so old that our entire civilization
has lasted fov a time which is only the
fraction of its age. People of Cali
fornia have been accustomed to look
upon them as the deities of that land.
No wonder a summer day spent in
the Sierra Nevadas uuder the red
woods is one never to bo forgotten.
The win! may blow if it will, but so
faintly does sound descend that it
seem more like the rolling of a dis
tant ocean. Sound and silence alike
are majestic and impressive in those
surroundings.
Here Bret Hart located one of his
most fascinating stories, with an In
dian lover living in a spacious hall
within a hollow tree. Hero he hides
aud shields from danger of outlaws
his paleface sweetheart. What more
romantic place iu which t6 unfold the
love of a wild, passionate child of na
ture?
Many of the hollow trees in the
grove havo served the more prosaic
purpose of homes for miners aud pros
pectors. In 1853 one of the largest
trees in the Calaveras grove was cut
down and the trunk smoothed off.
Five men were busy over three weeks
felling it by means of burning and
the use of pump augers. The stump
is twenty-four and a half by twenty
three feet, and Professor Whitney
counted 1255 annular rings, which,
making allowance for the core of the
tree, indicates an age of about 1300
years.
That a vast difference exists be
tween the ages of these trees is now
generally accepted as a fact, and this
tree was evidently of the younger
generation. The stump of the tree
ent down has served various purposes
—theatrical performances have been
held upon it; over thirty people at
a time have danced upon it; a news
paper, the Big Tree Bulletin, flonr
ished for a time from its surface.
Upon the fallen tree itself was main
tained a tenpin alley and a reception
room. Rosa
The Baptist Church iu Santa
was, with the exception of the arches,
built entirely of lumber secured from
one redwood, and but half of the tree
was used at that. The age of this
giant was estimated at 1200 years.
When ono of these big trees gives
up the ghost and falls under a stress
of wind, it goes down like an avalanche
of the Sierras. The ground trembles
aud the crash and ruin in its path
mark a tragedy of natnre. tho
Tho “Father of the Forest” in
Calaveras grove, which fell not long
ago, had seen a thousand years when
the great majority of its present asso
ciates were either non-existent or
literally but little larger than mustard
seeds. Its first limbs are 100 feet
from the base, and, with a diameter
of six feet, compare favorably with
the largest trees of the country east
of the Rockies. There are 125 trees
in the lower and upper groves ever
forty feet in circumference. In the
Yosemito National Park, in a belt
about two and a half miles long by
two miles wide is the next largest
grove of redwood trees. Here are
some 600 trees which would be con
sidered too large as shade trees for
the broadest avenue. The largest has
a circumference of eighty-one feet
three feet above the earth. It is in
many ways the greatest and grandest
forest on the globe.
The big trees are generally wearing
away with time and weather, and
seem to have outlived the age in which
they belonged, so that they will drop
their limbs and topple themselves all
too soon without the vandal’s axe to
bring them down. Many of them
show signs of decay, and some are
hollow at the base, though still living,
with the heart gone. In the hollows
of those woodland giants there is fre
quently plenty of space for a comfort
able house of three or four rooms,
and in ono of them seventeen horses
have been sheltered at the same time
from a storm.
The gigantea is wont to play jokes
on travelers, and they are elephantine
enough to be serious. The camper is
never tempted to seek rest in the
grasses and ferns aud shrubs at its base,
for he is liable to be bombarded with
cones, and as they are about the size
and weight of eggs, a drop of several
hundred feet gives them surprising
forco. But the real danger lies in the
limbs, which frequently fall, though
the treo may apparently have none to
spare. there

Wherein Woman is Superior to Man.
In three things only are women
superior to men; they are superior to
men as nurses, aS teachers of yonng
children, aud no man cau trim a hat
equal to a woman. In all other re
spects men aro the superiors of
women. The best cooks are men; the
best housekeepers are men. Although
nearly every girl takes piano lessons
and studies mnsic, all of the great
piano-players and musicians are men.
These facts have been demonstrated
by thousands of years of experience.
Women who are trying to become
lawyers, aud who imagine that they
cau divide up the world’s material re
wards with men, should remember
that they carry a serious handicap;
nature intended that women should
travel in certain paths, and will not
reward them in other directions.
Woipen are natural nurses and natural
teachers. They should be natural
housekeepers and cooks; they would
be if they didn’t fritter away so much
of their time iu running after foolish
things.—Atchison Globe.

They are the cries of the stomach

A Grateful Porter.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, Senator
Shoup, General F. C. Ainsworth,
Governor N. O. Murphy, of Arizona,
and representatives and railroad men
went on a tour of inspection a short
time ago. They had a private car
which was presided over by a porter
named Johnson.
When the car got back to Washing
ton the men made up a purse for
Johnson, and Senator Shoup was se
lected to make the presentation. John
son was called into one of the state
rooms where the men had assembled.
Senator Shonp scolded Johnson for his
many delinquencies, bat finished by
saying: s
“Notwithstanding all this, Johnson,
we have decided to make you a little
present, which I now take pleasure in
handing you.” and smiled.
