The most remarkable edifice inside

The Big Trees of Puget Sound.
The last of the great forests of tie
United States are those of the Pacific
coast, and immeasurably the great
est of them is what is known as the
Puget sound forest, extending from
the British Columbia line on the
north to the Columbia river on the
south, and from the Cascade moun
tains on the east to the Pacific ocean.
Where the forests are at all dense
the average amount jier square mile
is greater than in any other forest in
the world. This is largely due to the
extreme humidity of the atmosphere
and the character of the soil, which
is one of the richest anywhere found.
At the foot of Mount Tacoma there
are trees that by actual measurement
by one of the best surveyors on the
coast. Professor Fred G Plummer,
have been found to be C50 feet high.
Professor Charles F. Sargent, who
prepared many of the articles on the
forest trees of America for the cen
sus of 1880, stated that the Douglas
fir had a trunk from o. S3 to 3. GO-me
ters. or from 2 feet 7 inches to 12 feet
in diameter.
The red cedar is of still larger
growth and is often found to exceed
2o feet in diameter, and on John's
river, which flows into Gray's har
bor, is a red cellar apjiarently sound
all through that measures 36 feet in
diameter at the butt, two feet from
the ground, and 32 feet in diameter
at six feet from the ground. This is
of course exceptional, but cedars 20
feet in diameter or 63 feet in circum-
feivnce are very frequently met with
in the state.—San Francisco Chron
