FOREST AND STREAM. 

: 
Will be stocked with chestnut and white oak in 
Jae next two years. The Santa Fe Railway has 
lecently purchased 8,330 acres near San Diego, 
lal., on which to grow timber for its own use. 
|. tract of 2,600 acres will be planted to eucalypts. 
‘he Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company will 
jlant 378 acres in Carbon and Schuykill coun- 
jes, Pa. with chestnut, European larch and 
}cotch pine. The Delaware and Hudson Com- 
jany was led by the results of a co-operative 
cudy with the Forest Service to appoint a forester 

\>) look after the extensive woodlands of the 
jompany and attend to the planting work. 
| The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron 
/ompany has been investigating how mine props 
lay be made to last longer through impregnat- 
jig with creosote by the “open tank” treatment. 
|line props cost this company alone nearly a 
jiillion dollars a month. The results of this 
lreatment are so satisfactory that plans have 
jJeen made for the erection of a plant, with a 
japacity of about 800 cubic feet a day, with 
\rhich to continue the treatment on a commercial 
jcale. This work has shown the economy of 
jhe open tank treatment and encouraged its 
jider use.—Quincy R. Craft. 

A TRAVELER IN NORTH CAROLINA. 
| ApouT sunset I passed a country store where 
yeveral men were mounting their horses to go 
ome. Accosting one of them I again asked for 
Jirections. “It is a matter of four or five miles 
jrom here, but it will soon be dark, and you 
annot find your way down in that mountain 
jollow to-night,’ said one. But, having gone 
Jo far I told him I would risk it. ‘‘Well, keep 
he straight road till you come to the crest of 
lhe mountain, and there you will see where a 
aan stole a branch.” 
“Stole a branch?” 
| “Yes, the branch naturally ran down this side 
hf the mountain, and he dug a deep ditch and 
lurned it to the other side, so that it would 
lun down into his mill pond. When you get 
lhere, turn to the left and follow the road along 
he top of the mountain till finally you will come 
o some little houses.” 
| It was nearly dark when I reached the crest 
)f the ridge, and saw where the branch had 
heen turned, and then I had a comparatively 
level road through a forest for a time. Sud- 

llenly a tall mountaineer stepped from the bushes 
vith a long rifle on his shoulder, shouting, 
/Hello, stranger, whar you gwien?”’ 
I told him that I was searching for Mr. John 
Moore's place. “What mout be your business 
vith Mr. Moore?” I did not know that it was 
ny of his business, but replied that I was going 
o inspect his nursery. ‘Have to have a pig 
nspected soon, before we can sell him, won't 
ve?” 
“Ves,” I replied, “if you feed him on moon- 
hine slops.’”’ 
The man laughed, for he was evidently an 
yuter guard for a moonshine still. “Well, you 
‘oO down the road till you reach some houses and 
hey will direct you.’”—County Gentleman. 
A LOON IN THE AQUARIUM. 
Tue Aquarium is enlarging its scope. Re- 
‘ently there was put on exhibition a loon, the 
irst bird ever exhibited in a fish tank. The 
oon, “Gerty” by name, is a gift from Dr. J. 
3. Summer, of the United States Biological 
Station at Wood’s Hole, Mass. Before Gerty 
‘ame to live in an aquarium with a number of 
ikates and horseshoe crabs, she roamed the 
narshes near Buzzard’s Bay. The loon spends 
nuch time diving for the skates. It gets hold 
xf one and shakes it, but the crabs are too large 
‘or her to eat. 
There is much speculation among the visitors 
ts to why the bird does not fly away. This is 
‘xplained by Mr. Spencer, in charge of the fresh 
vater fish. To rise from the water a loon must 
itart forward and go about 100 foot, skimming 
he water before he can begin his upward flight. 
As the tank in which he rests is too small for 
hat, the loon is a prisoner.—New York Times.
