Mr. Imanuel Engel, for many yea*s a deal- er in cigars and tobacco, in THe STAR buildings, was taken suddenly fll at his res- idence, No. 1112 D street northwest, about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and died before the services of a physician could be procar- ed. Every effort ‘ible was made lo save him, but Without avail. The coroner was [ Pe® called in, and found that death resulted from apoplexy superinduced by tme excessive heat, and a certificate was given according- ly. Mr. Engel was an industrious and a so- ber man, ‘was generally respected for his many good qualities. James McVary was Prostrated with heat about 11 o'clock on Saturday at the corner of ith aud E streets southwest, and conveyet to bis home by Officer Dyer.

Harvey, of the firm of Harvey & Holden, an estimable lady, died suddenly bet ween 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, at her so-.’s resi- dence, on 9th street, between G and H north- West. She was out riding in the afternoon yesterday with ber son, and appeared well When she retired Jast night, but_comolained ef the heat and feeling tired. It is possible that her death was attributable to tne in- tense heat. Last evening, about 7 o'clock, Mr. An- gustus Glasscow, a well-kKLown paintor, died St his residence, on Sth street, just north of Boundary. Lag oy that during the past few days be had laboring under great excitement, and having been absent from home since Saturday morning, returned ycs- terday morning, saying that he hai been sunstruck and nearly killed, and had come home to die. He was immediately put to bed, but was so restless that he would lie stil but a few minutes. About? o'clock last evening he was seen to stagger. and in a few minutes died. The coroner came to the conclusion that bis death was caused by con- foe of the brain and lungs superinduced y_beat.

American T'mber Trees at the Cea- | tenpial. | _ It is interesting to note the value most na- tions seem to set on their timber. Japan, Brazil, Spain and others have large collec- tions of more or less value. And after all it 1s not to be wondered at, for perhaps wood is more intimately bound uP. with civiliza- tion than any thing the world has. Oaly for the wood of which our ships are built the white man would not be on this contineat to day, and even an iron ship could not bo | nee without the use of in @ thousand ways. In many articles we have neglected what foreigners value, and it is one of the most valuable of our Centenntal experiences that | we have had our eyes open | these shortcomings. In | of America. however, the foresight of Com- | missioner Watts has provided a collection | of which our country may well feel proud, even in view of the magnificent collectons of foreign lands. Japan has done very well, vi | she not only exhibits her woods—large pieces | with bark and allon, so as to give the fall | character—but has well-dri berbaricm | Specimens, neatly attached to paper and put over the wood blocks, thus giving, not only the timber aspect of the product, but instruc- | Ung the arboricuiturist at the same time. | He is enabled to take in the whole aspect of the tree ata glance. In the (lepartment of | the United States this is improved on. Not | merely ordinary herbarium specimens are | used, Dut full-sized branches, with nuts and seeds and cones and these are put into desp boxes with glass fronts, over each corres- | ponding trunk of wocd, making the whole | exhibition the most perfectly educational | imaginable. It Is pleasant to take for ashort time the role of @ looker-on, and note the various classes who take the chance to examine the | blocks. Here is a party at the oaks, and it is evident from their convergation they are | studying bow they may improve themselves in leather making points. “I tell you,” says | One. ‘nothing will come of that western idea | of tanning by the water asthwart. I hear the factory is offered for sale to some capital- | 'sts for a woolen mill.” And “Yes,” replies the other, “nothing found yet equals good | bark. The Tilinoisians had better make plaptations of good fast-growing oaks and | get bark in that way.” And then they go to (earoarn | tbe mertts of the various oaks for Daras. * ik at this,” exclaims one. and »olnting to @ block marked quereus agrifilia ; from Califoraia, “that ought to be a first- class arti: le,” and then we learn that the value of oak for ae is calea- Jated by the thickness of the inner bark. In some cases this form: but a mere line, in others it will be from a quarter of aa inch to @ half inch in thickness, The tann'e acid ebiefly resides there. We farther leaia, ag we listen, that the best tarners oak of Cali- fo.ota, so far as known befcre, was the quercus clensifura, but from the knowledge poor he 4 now gaincd they fancied there wes etier. Of our own tanning oaks they had mueh to say. The old black-oak was undoubtedly the best, but others were not far behind, but there was @ variation with latitude. The red-oak was next to worthiess in Pensyl- vania, but as the trees grew .arther south, the bark became almost as good as black- | 08k, and better and better as it advanced south. In like manner the mounta'n or rock chesnut oak was of little use for tannii purpo.es, but it improved as it travel | Borth, until in bigher latitudes it became as good asany. Thecommon chesnut-oak how- ever, even in Pensylvania, was almost as gcod as the best bleck-oak. It is just such facts as these about timber that en exhibition of this sort is calculated to bring out, end the little incident which no doudt is repea*sd every week in a hundred forms, shows bow valuable such an exhib- ition rr ast be, and how widespread must be its beneficent influences.
