Stran 21 - These giants bulge considerably at the base, but not more than is required for beauty and safety; and the only reason that this bulging seems in some cases excessive is that only a comparatively small section of the shaft is seen at once in near views. One that I measured in the Kings River forest was...
Stran 358 - ... pay the interest on the bonds and provide a sinking fund for the liquidation of the principal.
Stran 22 - But very few of the millions of seeds which fall to the ground germinate, "and of those that do perhaps not 1 in 10,000 is suffered to live through the many vicissitudes of storm, drought, fire, and snowcrushing that beset their youth." AGE OF THE BIG TREES. The extreme age attained by the Big Tree is still an unsettled question. Statements on the subject vary considerably, some appearing to be exaggerations.

Stran 290 - Plate XXVI shows a church at Soulac which was buried by the sand. The methods employed in fixing the dunes may be briefly described as follows : A littoral dune was constructed straight along the shore from the mouth of the Gironde to Bayonne.

This protective, or littoral, dune is formed as follows : a double fence...
