A thrilling adventure in the timber. lands of New Zealand is related by Mr. David Blake, who met with it as a result of a quarrel with a man named Smertz. 'Do you know the great divide on Mount Siberia? asks Mr. Blake in the Wide World Magazine. I had the contract for cutting out and sending down the timber from the upper slopes. Across the gulch, taut as a bow-string, a steel cable stretched for eight hundred feet. The kauri logs, Blung to an underhung trolley running on huge sheaves, were sent over the wire to the other side. A guide rope, hooked to the trolley, served to check the run and ease the timber to the landing stage,below. Rod McKenzie, Duncan and Smertz worked in my gang. It was the end of the day In late autumn. The last log ?a monster twenty feet long by thirty In girth?hung ready for launching. I was on the point of giving the signal, whon fancvinz I noticed a slackness in one of the slings, I mounted the log:. This was Smertz's moment for deferred vengeance. As quick as lightning he swung his ax and sprang the hook of the guide rope from the socket. On the Instant the huge log gathered headway down the . taut wire. Some one screamed. "Jump, Dave, jump!" But there was no time. All this happened In a flash. I threw myself face down upon the log: and gripped the sling chains with a grip of death. Bushes, ground and tree stumps flew backward beneath me in a mad blur of speed. The racing sheaves, in their iron block casing, screamed and shrilled. Fire flashed from them. Fire ran along the wire. Showers of sparks flew out upon the wind. V thorp was n ter. the ?rrind and shriek of metal on metal. I screamed and closed my eyes. Tliere was a jerk th*?t wrenched my ai;ms in their sockous and the mad rush ' stopped. The strained wire above sprang, bent again and hummed like a twanged bowstring. The log. hanging beneath, leaped up and down, up and down. I was jolted from my hold and, for a horrible minute, with one hand clutched in the chains, hung over the abyss. Slowly, painfully, I dragged myself up again. My nerves were in rags, -my limbs shook, and my teeth chattered. I took off my belt and, reeving it through a chain link, shifted position; then I rebuckled the strong leather round my waist. This is what had happened. The pin in the lower block had worked loose. The wire had jumped the groove in the sheave wheel, becoming jammed between It and the iron casing, and the log had braked Itself by its own weight. A stiff wind had blown during the afternoon, and with night it hardened Into a gale from the scmtheast. It roared, swooping through the defile. Rain .and wind-driven hail hissed across the darkness in fierce gusts. Flannel shirt and trousers, which represented all my clothing, were little protection against the fierce cold. I could not move to ease my position. Ice formed on the chains and on the wood; my clothing froze hard and stiff. rto nvlr oe fhii mnnfh Lilt; Iil?UL >v a.-> CT.T u?in. ao n? of a pit. A single big star broke r.t intervals through the wrack of flying scud. I watched it idly as I lay In a sort of trance. I awoke in a warm bed. It was Dick, my close cpropanion. that had come out along the wire in the morning after the storm. He had brought with him a sort oX chair of strong rope running on a pulley; but how he had managed on that swaying, slippery log to get me, helpless and .moon scions, into the chair I do not Know. Smertz? The boss j;?t him away from the boys, locked him inside bis office and stood guard over him until the police came. Otherwise they would have killed him. \ Famed Memorial Trees. On the beautiful capitol grounds in Sacramento, Cal., there is a group of trees set out because of their historical interest, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. There is a red maple rrom Anneram, aiu. ; a white elm from near McKinley's tomb. Canton. O.; a white ash from Vicksburg, Miss., and many others from equally distinctive points. These trees are studied with surpassing interest by visitors from many states and foreign lands.

After many years' deliberation the people of Holland lmve decided Unit they need more hmd, and, having i reached that decision, they have gone j about the acquisition of it with cJiar1 acteristie Dutch energy and determination, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The program contemplates the building of a 3U-mile dike across the outlet of the Zuyder zee aiul gradual reclamation of parts of that body by I means of smaller dikes and a filling-in and pumping process. The damming of'the north end of the Zuyder zee pre sents difiiculties, not only on account of tiie length of the dam, but also due to the fact that at the Frieslttnd shore end. the water depth varies from 11 to S3 feet. The foundation of the j^reat dam will he. literally, billions of all sizes of tree branches, las-hed together into great bundles. These will he sunk, forming a supporting mat of enormous area. Upon this will he placed a thick layer of coarse crushed stone, and on this, powerful foundation will be reared the masoniy of the dike. Pfant Diseases Costly. Millions of bushels of grain, fruit ami vegetables and a big tonnage of cotton were lost to American farmers last year by plant diseases, according to figures compiled by the plant disease survey of the Department of Agriculture. The survey said that the statistics indicate that lack of prompt application of known measures of control was largely the cause of the loss. The plant disease survey estimated the losses at 112,000,000 bushels of wheat, 50,000,000 bushels of oats. 80.000,000 bushels of corn, 50,000,000 bushels of potatoes, 40,000.000 bushels of sweet potatoes', 185,000 tons of tomatoes, 850,000 bales of cottou, 5.0t)0, 000 bushels of peaches aud 16,000,000 bushels of apples.

The magazine Motor announces the j arrival of the courteous motor horn. ! Up to now the motor horn has been ! decidedly cacophonous. It squawks unpleasantly; it bellows alarmingly; it ntf-iarc .jinicpc rli??frr<M)hlv snsr<?p>;Hve of nausea. But the new liorn, which is appearing on the market, has a tone that is at once polite and powerful. It warns, yet does not offend the sensitive ear. The tone-adjusting mechanism is so contrived and arranged that the horn is easily regulated for any degree of vociferousness, but it yet carries a warning to the pedestrian. On Their Mettle.

The natives of many foreign countries sit down to tables spread with fine American cutlery. During the past year exports of American table cutlery amounted to $2,300,000. ' In Europe Norway was the be.^t customer of our cutlery industry with parchases totaling $225,000, while such a comparatively small market as Denmark was able to take table cutlery up to the value of $146,000. But the most important markets for United Slates table cutlery are now found in the two American continents. The biggest purchaser of tabte cutlery is Brazil, with a total requirement of $524,000 during the last year. Tt was followed by Argentina with a purchase + r?<f>lincr (">00 whilp f'hilp nnd Cnhn each took far in excess of $100,000 and Mexico was just touching the $100.0001 line. This growth of the foreign demand for American table cutlery j shows best the great progress that ] lias been mado in tho manufacture of high-class cutlery in the United States. The table cutlery business of the world was in the past practically the domain of European producers. Ingenious Saffron Imitation. A curious and ingenious imitation of Spanish saffron lias been brought to light by chemists of the United States Agricultural department in a recent consignment of dyestuffs. Saffron, obtained cbiefly from southern Europe, is a yellow dye consisting of the stigmas- of the crocus, and. as more than 4.000 flowers are required for an ounce, the material is seme what expensive. Samples of the Suspected importation proved on analysis to he flowers of a common plant resembling the Scorch thistle. These had been colored with rod and bine dyes, weighted with saltpeter, borax and glycerine, flavored with something like saffron ofl. and crinkled to give a r>in*0 resemblance to the dried crocus r ~ 1 st'gmas.

A child's freak intellect is puzzling the Hampshire (England) authorities and Ihe board of education. The child, a twelve-year-old girl, cannot distinguish right from wrong. Her father applied to the Odiham magistrate, and obtained an order to send her to an industrial school. The attendance officer said she had been absent from school for six months, nn<j stayed out all night several times and recently walked lf> miles to Basingstoke, where slit- was found at midnight on the station platform. A doctor described the girl as morally and not mentally defective. The case'was so unusual, he said, that all the facts had been sub-j mitted to the board of education.
