PERC 2S es creer ence, = A Freak of Nature,

In the Yellowstone National park is & curious freak of nature not mention- ed in the guidebeok. Along a little fre- quented trail leading to the fossil for- est there stands a great glacia] bovw)- der, twice as large as an ordinary street ear, which has been split apart from top to bottom by a pine tree. The tree is now 30 or 40 years old, and it grows entirely through this block of granite, spreading the pieces wide apart on one side, while on the other the crevice re- mains comparatively small. verything Goes to show that the tree has apiit the rock by its own force, perhaps assisted each winter by the ice. It seems to have thrived on the task. Thougk it has moved apart these massive frag- ments, each weighing hundreds of tons, it is the healthiest tree in that lo eality.

Bnormous Pendulume,

The only structures in Japan which seem to be earthquake proof are the pagodas, which are erected before the temples. There are many which are 700 or 800 years old and as solid as when first built.

There is a reason for this and it lies in their construction. A pagoda is prac: tically a framework of heavy timbers, which starts from a wide base, and is in itself a substantial structure, but is rendered still more stable by a peculiar device. Inside the framework and sus pended from the apex is a long, heavy beam of timber two feet thick or more. This hangs from one end of the four sides; four more heavy timbers, and.if tke pagoda be very lofty still more tim- bers, are added to these. The whole forms an enormous pendulum, which reaches within six inches of the ground.

When the shock of an earthquake rocks the pagoda, the pendulum swings in unison and keeps the center of grav- ity always at the base of the frame work. Consequently the >quilibrium of the pagoda is never disturbed, and this is the explanition of the great age of many of them, when from their height one would suppose them to be peculiar- ly susceptible to the effects of tha vartheuake,

Our celery will only hold out about one month, Some of the wire ones are or ier- ing aquastity to be kept in re-erv- for tnem. We have held on to the be t for the last (the famous English Red Celery.) In this respect we resemble ehildren who keep the most dainty part of their lunch to the lagt and at the rate it is going the time will soen come when there will not even be a last. The moral to the above is quite plain;ao need to read between the lines it is enjoy it while it lasts.
