D. F. Stafford, of Skipanon, has
thought out a u ingenious plan by
which crosscut saws can be run by a
donkey engine or similar power.
The saws can be made to undercut or
topsaw, or saw a tree at any incline
from the perpendicular. The number
of saws run would, of course, depend
on the power. Thoy can be placed
in as many different directions as
there are saws. The contrivance i3
simple and inexpensive, and like a
good many other clever things the
wonder is that someone hasn't
thonght of it before.

A Cannery Destroyed.
The. premises of the Seattle Pack
ing and Canning Co., two miles below
Smith's Cove, near Seattle, were de
stroyed by fire last Friday.
Messrs. Kirkwood, Nottingham &
Wymau, the owners, told a Seattle
Post-Inlelligeiux r reperter:
"We had a lot of men engaged in
tarring nets to preserve them from
destruction in the salt water. In
this tarring process coal oil and coal
tar arc the principal ingredients. It
seems that one of these nets which
had been soaked in the mixture waB
stretched under the building to dry,
slats having been nailed on the piles
for that purpose, and unfortunately a
portion of the net extended under the
blacksmith shop. A little spark of
fire, orbit of red hot iron, dropped
through the floor on to the net, and
in an instant the whole placo was in
a blaze. We succeeded in saving the
piling and some of the caps, though
most of our caps are badly damaged.
Our boiler was not seriously injured,
and the retort can be used, but most
of the machinery is a total loss.
Fully $5,000 worth -of tin was de
stroyed, besides all the other material
for cans and cases. We now think
that $20,000 will cover our actual
loss. Wo had had the placo sur
veyed, and everything arranged for
insurance when the agent returned
on Saturday, but we were a day too
late, as we did not have a cent of in
surance on the place."
