that county which is a fair speci

it grows enough. It stands i-i a
gorge deep enough to be awful,and
its topmost boughs, where the
cones are thickest, are on a level
witli the highest rocks on the sides
K of the ravine.
It is not cut-yet, so the measure-
meuts so far taken may be at fault
a bit one way or the other, but
rey are near enough the truth to
make safe betting. The tree is
300 feet high, 96 feet from the
tt to the first branch, and 26 feet
rough at the base: A log of clean
aooth wood that will measure 90
diameter can easily be cut out of
it. That is what the Tulare people

Where the Continent Extends.

If all the water in the Atlantic
Ocean were dried up you would
ru'a climate-in ap altoge.th-.o- perhaps be surprised to observe
al way. There i;s_ ; a tree, in that the eastern edge of the great
land mass which we call the North
American continent is not the pres
ent beach line at all. You would
see that the continent itself extends
far out into the ocean, a distance
varying from fifty to 150 miles.
Once upon a time this terrace was
all above the water; the cist shore
of the continent had a vary differ
ent shape,-there was'a deep sea
'close to the coast, and the locali
ties where now are situated New
York, Philadelphia and Boston
were far inland. Gradually, owing
to the causes I have mentioned, this
great terrace lias sunk, so that
ships • are sailing over what was a
:eet in length and average 20 feet fe\i- thousand.years ago dry land.
So short a time, from the geolog'
but the peopie- of ' that country do
not stop at trifles. In .pll likeli

The find consists of £ thousands of
skeletons either of large apes or of
prehistoric human beings of
very low-order. If the remains are
of apes, they were of gigantic size,
and of a variety no longer extant;
while if they are of men, the men
were provided with distinct caudel
appendages, very thick and short,
and.qurled up like a squirrel’s.

That when hams or tongues are
