"The motner" is 3ZI feet long with a trunk 78 feet In cir cumference, and it will take days and perhaps weeks for the flames to con sume Its great bulk. Up In "The Bret Harte Country," as this section of Calaveras County Is railed, because It was in this section that the famous CalJrornlan lived- and where he found many of the characters he put In his books, the destruction of the big-tree grove would be little short of a calamity. The nly living species of the sequoia gigantea, or big trees, are those found In California, and there are but four groups of these containing any notable specimens. Shock to Sentiment. Of these groups fhe Calaveras grove Is probably the most remarkable. Its destruction would be a severe shock to the sentiment of the people of Cali fornia, particularly to those who have lived almost In their shadows In Cala veras County. It was thought, last night that the fire had been finally brought under control, but this morning a strong wind came out of the we Ft and quickly fanned the smouldering embers of dead trees into live coals and scattered the sparks in every direction. The Calaveras group, consisting of two groves, "Calaveras" and "South . Park." contains more and larger trees than the other three groups combined, there being 13S0 trees from 65 feet to 104 feet in circumference in the Calaveras group and 97 trees with a circumference of 70 to 93 feet In the other. All these trees range from 300 to l5 feet in height. One prostrate specimen of the Calaveras grove "The Father of the Forest" was apparent ly 435 feet tall, with a girth of 110 feet. Practically all of the larger trees have been named and labeled The "New York" U 104 feet In circumfer ence; the "Ohio," 103 feet. In the 'Tree of Refuge" 16 head of cattle once sought shelter during a heavy storm. In the "Grand Hotel" 40 people can stand without crowding.

WOULD 60 SOUTH NEXT PEARY WRITES OF ANTARCTIC . EXPLORATION PROJECT. Suggests Financial Plans and Says Campaign Should Be Outlined by Geographical Experts. (Robert E Peary to New York Times.) S. S. ROOSEVELT, Hawks Harbor, July 21. Now that the bigness of my objects and the splendid generosity of my friends have enabled me to make good In fitting out my present expedi tion, I can define my position In regard to Antarctic work without giving ground for the Impression that I was scattering my energies or diverting any of my strength from the work im mediately at hand. I believe in finishing the first cherry before making a bite at the second. I have, however, felt for some time that the time was nearly or quite ripe for this country to enter the arena of ant arctic exploration, and endeavor to ob tain its share of the honors and scien title information yet awaiting the ex plorer in that region. I stated my Ideas as long ago as 1904 in an address before the National Geographical So ciety of Washington. I repeated those Ideas In another ad dress before the same society In De cember, 1906. At the recent organization of the In ternational Polar Commission at Brus sels, H. L Brldgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club and United States Government delegate to that commis sion, presented the following commu nication from me: Grand Union Hotel, New York City, May 20. Dear Sir: I beg to state that on my return from my coming Arctic expedition I shall endeavor in every possible way, consistent with my other duties, to promote and organize a National- American antarctic expedition, to secure for this country Its share of the honors and valuable scientific in formation still awaiting the explorer in that region. The project would Include the build ing of another special ship, on the same general lines and In the light of the experience gained in building and using the Roosevelt, and the utilization of the method and equipment evolved dur ing my past IT years of arctic work. It would not contemplate my personal association with the expedition, in the field. While It is too early now to make any definite statement, it Is hoped that the Peary Arctic Club may lend Its en couragement to the work. This project, I am happy to state, has the approval of President Roose velt. At a subsequent session of the com mission It Is hoped to offer a more de tailed presentation of the matter, for Buch action or suggestions as thecom mission may see fit. Very respectfully; . Signed) R. E. PEARY. To the President of the International Polar Commission, Brussels, Belgium. The actual materialization of such an expedition might take one of sev eral forms, depending upon circum stances. The expedition might be entirely a Government affair, officered from the United States Navy, and manned , by volunteers enlisted for that purpose. Or it might be financed partly by the Government and partly by private in dividuals and Institutions, officered from the United States Navy, and manned by volunteers for the purpose. Or it might be financed entirely from private ' sources (individuals and or ganizations), and manned by officers of the navy, loaned for the purpose by the Government. The promotion of such an expedition should be properly undertaken by a strong National Antarctic Committee, located at Washington, and closely af filiated with the National Geographical Society, with Its thousands of mem bers.. The campaign of exploration for such an expedition should be outlined by a committee of geographical experts, the best in the country. The scientific pro gramme should be outlined by a com mittee of scientific experts, acting In conjunction with the geographical com mittee. My personal Interest In the matter Is: First, the feeling that this country has a right, not to say duty, to be repre sented in every field of manly effort that is likely to mean an Increase of National reputation and a strengthen ing of National moral and esprit; -second, my desire to have the invaluable experience In methods, equipment, and construction which through years of effort have been wrested from the arc tic regions by my own and my friends' money, do work in unlocking the se crets of the South rather than be wasted. ....

HEALTH OF TWO RULERS Roosevelt and Edward Called Great est Rulers and Sportsmen Dea- J! kin Talks of Example Set by America to -Australia. I MELBOURNE, Sept. 2. The weather here has Improved, and as a result there was a large attendance at the various outdoor entertainments arranged for the officers and men of the visiting American battleehlps. The Victoria Racing Club provided a complimentary race meeting at Flem ing. Before the meet the club enter tained a number of officers at luncheon. The chairman of the club proposed the healths of King Edward and President Roosevelt, characterizing them as "The two greatest rulers of white men and the two greatest sportsmen In the world." There was a baseball match at the Melbourne cricket grounds, In which a team made up from the fleet defeated the Victoria nine, 6 to 5. Reception by Government. This evening" the state government entertained the Admirals and senior of ficers at a reception. The function was elaborate, and there were present about 8000 people. At the time this reception was being held, the state government entertained the American sailors and marines at a smoking party. Great contingents of officers and men of the American fleet visited Ballarat and Bendigo. Admiral Sperry and his staff, together with a large number of officers and nearly 2600 men of the fleet, went out to the racetrack . at Flemington. Admiral Sperry was the guest of the Governor, Sir Thomas Glb-son-Carmichael. The officers lunched at the club while the men were furnished eatables,, of which they partook in the open air. America's Lesson to Australia. Speaking at the dinner tendered to Ad miral Sperry and the senior officers of the American battleship fleet at the Royal Yacht Club last night Alfred Deakin, the Premier, said: The appearance of the American fleet in dicates that It 1 on no holiday cruise. Its arrival marks for us no casual adventure, for the invitation was given In a spirit ot deepest earnestness after sober consider ation, and the concession made by the American Government in sending- the fleet here is perhaps the most generous made in recent times by one nation to another. The American battleships show the last word In the art of naval construction and the lesson to Australians Is that America was unable to take a first place In .the world until the country had a flrst-class navy, because until then only able to protest verbally against outside Injustices and In Jury. So Australia can not be content ulti mately to accept defense at any other hands than Its own and should begin provision for Its own navy In a modest way. SUCCESS IX TOWING ACHIEVED Cruisers Arrive With Destroyers at Honolulu Without Damage. HONOLULU, Sept. 2. The cruisers of the Pacific fleet, commanded by Rear-Admiral Swinburne, finished the first stage of the cruise undertaken to test the practicability of towing tor pedoboat destroyers when the flagship West Virginia, the Maryland, Pennsyl vania and Tennessee docked at 1 o'clock this afternoon in the harbor and the remaining vessels. Including the supply ship Solace, anchored out side. The arrival of the warships was witnessed by many residents of the Islands and a hearty welcome was ac corded the officers and men. Execpt upon several occasions when the towllnes parted or became so chafed that alterations or stoppages were required, the fleet maintained the one-point echelon formation taken outside the harbor of San Francisco until 6:30 o'clock this morning, when the torpedoboat destroyers were cast off and proceeded under their own steam to the anchorage off the harbor. The destroyers Preble and . Perry were towed the entire distance with out break or delay of any kind. The Whipple's line once became chafed and her consort was obliged to slacken speed while repairs were made. Each of the other destroyers had one or two broken towlines to its credit. In every Instance the break was at the bow of the torpedoboat destroyer, which, as anticipated, proved the weakest point in the connecting line. The cruise was never attended with danger or difficulty, the highest draft Indicated by any of the dynamometers being 50,000 pounds. Forty thousand pounds was the highest average at tained. In the fog and during a storm prevailing the first day and night out. the draft was between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds. The only incident of the voyage was when Signalman Anderson fell from the signal tower of the West Virginia. He swam to a buoy thrown and was rescued uninjured by one of three boats which were lowered before the Prebble could slip her towline. as re quired totdo In such emergencies.

Four Kinds That Excel White, Oak In Strength and Hardness Are Specially Recommended for Reforestation Experiments. . OR EGONI AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept. 2. Far-off New Zealand is the latest country to which forest experts have turned In seeking sub stitutes for the valuable Ame.lcan woods used by the furniture, cooper age, implement and similar wood-using industries. Manufacturers in this country have been facing a constantly decreasing supply of available hardwood timber for a number of years and the time is already at hand when efforts must be made to look to the preservation of the American species most In demand, and to scour foreign lands for trees which may prove valuable as substitutes. Seven different New Zealand hard wood trees have Just been put through a series of tests by the United States Forest Service in co-operation with the University of California in the timber testing laboratory at Berkeley The trees showed up remarkably well in comparison with white oak. which Is one of the strongest woods In ' the United States, developing under test when in an air dry condition a crush ing strength of 8500 pounds per square Inch, and a bending strength of 13,100 pounds per square inch. Stronger Than White Oak. Four of the seven New Zealand woods tested developed a bending strength even greater than white oak and three of the woods showed a greater crush ing strength. The New Zealand -woods found to have a bending strength as high or higher than oak were the black malre, matal, purlrl and sliver pine,, while the first three of these have in addition developed a greater crushing strength strength than oak. An Idea of the true strength of these woods is given in the technical report which shows that with white oak at 1.00 the compressive or crushing strength of the New Zealand woods is as follows: Black malre, 1.18; matal, 1.05 and purlrl, .1.21.' The woods which developed an equal or greater bending strength are as follows: Matal, 1.22; silver pine, 1.00; purlrl, 1.41, and black malre. 1.56. The last figure shows that this wood has more than one and one half times the bending strength of oak. A Colorado currant bush will produce at least one gallon of fruit. Some plants will yilrt ten tlmw thh wmoiir.t. WHEAT FLAKE CELERY is a very nourishing food; in fact, an article of diet so nutritious in itself, would support life.
