The New Orleans mint was built in 1838 at a cost of $3,000,000. St. Louis Cathedral: The cathedral was first built in 1795. Under each of the blocks forming the ancient cathedral floor rests a corpse. St. Roch's Chapel: The chapel was built in 1871 by Father Thevis to fulfill a vow made during the plague in 1866. The chapel is entirely of the Father's own handiwork. The King of Beasts: The lion is one of the largest and strongest of the cat family. At six or seven years of age, Leo is full grown. He is a native of Africa, and parts of central Asia, and prowls chiefly at night for food. The voice of the lion is a mighty roar and the loudest call among animals. By nature, the lion is cowardly and disinclined to attack man, but when angered, or driven by hunger, it becomes ferocious. The Lumber Industry: The lumber industry constitutes one of the most important as well as extensive industries of the world. The leading lumber producing countries are the United States, Canada, Sweden, Russia, Germany and France. In most of the United States lumber regions timber cutting is carried on during winter months because of economical transportation. From Forest to Mill: Here rafts of logs are floated many miles downriver to the mills. Arriving at the mills the bark is stripped and the logs are cut into planks. The planing mill. Railroad ties awaiting shipment. Steamship transportation is largely used for distribution. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
