the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Range remain

appreciate the value of the Adirondack wilder
ness as essential to the preservation OF the
Hudson, and New England must throw some
safeguards about the forests of N,rthern YER
mont and New. Hampshire if the Merrlnac and
Connecticut are to be saved. This is forest

Grafton of the country's future supply OF lumber

question will decide whether vast areas OF THIS

can make bealthful climate deadly, choke

q WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE-"

WHAT FOOLS THESE MOhIALo Dr.
The Virgins boom has reached extraordinary
dimensions. His name was literally i'll every
mouth Yesterday. and will be to-day. lie has
frightened thousands of people seriously, and
has caused a loss of thousands of dollars by in
terrupting the fishing industry. Yet he is
transparept bunbug, and has teen treated as
such by every newspaper in the land. lie was
taken I'D as q Joke and treated as one, yet the
more he Wa laughed at the greater became his
fame. For the past week columns OF valuable
space in the newspapers have been devoted to
him. and the inhabitants of a continent have
been watching and waiting for his dreaded dates
to arrive to see whether he was humbug or
not. The dates have come and he is once moro
proved to be either fool or a deliberate and
heartless fraud. This great gale which was to
have started in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday,
and to reach here to-day, did not start and will
not coIle. He said it would shake the planet
from sea to sea and from pole to pole" That
absurd declaration ought to have been sufficient
to show everybody what cheap humbng he
was : but it didn't. After this let us trite no
more with humbngs. The greater they are and
the more grotcsque their utterances, the greater
will be their success if the Wggins boom is to
be taken as precedent.
OF course to-day will come and go without
gale miliionth as great rs the one Virgins
predicted but we doubt if even this failure will
cure the humbug-lovers of their infatuation.
Many of them are wagging their heads wisely
and saying; Well, yOu may laugh at Virgins,
"but he wasn't so far out of tho way. We had
IA heavy wind here last Wednesday, and there
" was n terrific one of Newfoundland on Thurs
"day. and another in the North Sea on Friday.
There was also heavy storm on the middle
Atlantic coast on Saturday, and heavy north
"east winds in New England Saturday night"
1t Will he useless to tell these humbug-lOvers
that these facts only demonstrate Wiggins's
shrewdness in putting his dates in the stormiest
month OF the whole year. The storms reported
bear no resemblance whatever to the great one
he predicted Any fool can be prophet If he
is permitted to claim all the storms occurring
anywhere in the orld within u week preceding
and another week following the dates be fixes.
We will not dwell on the subject. 1t has
melancholy side and it also has hopeful one.
Perhaps Wiggirs's failure will make 1t harder
for his successors to fool the people as he has.
1t NAV be that the name of Wlggins, so remark
able OF itself, may become the typical name Tor
all succeeding prophets, and that the next timo
any one tries to frighten the world with dire.
full prediction, men will have sense enough to
say: Oh, he is only another Virgins"
