We all know what itmeans to work like a beaver. *? «* One Log Makes a Cozy Cabin There is a cabin in Golden Gate Francisco, which is constructed ofa single log of redwood. It is abouttwelve feet long and rests upon a heavyplatform of timbers which support theweight of the hollowed loe. A doorwayabout five feet high and eighteen incheswide admits visitors to the interior,which forms a fair-sized room. Theapnpamnce of the cabin is striking be-cause the front view presents a crosssection of a large redwood tree with,the bark intact. 172 American Messenger.
